(i OPFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCBIDINGS —_—— Beltrami county’s fifteenth annual fair’ closed yesterday. It may be called a success. ' Agricul- tural and stock_exhibits were among the- best, but at this point there must be more done in the very’ near future. -Although the attendance at the fair yesterday was very large, efforts must be made to secure for each of the-three days of the fair another year, and in years to follow, a much larger attendance than even that of the closing day this year - In order to do this there must be more attrac- tions. Attractions which will draw visitors from be liberal amounts set aside for this purpose. The - setting aside of a sufficient sum of money for a prize is sure to interest far more exhibitors and will insure such other attractions as the people of must not halt for an instant. - Proper publicity with everyone lending a hand to do it, is next required in order to:let other than local residents have.a petition, local competition issure to grow-and as.a The people of today are looking for amusement, not’ only the younger generation but the older as well, and the county fair in order to insure success must furnish this for its visitors. At least eighty per cent amusement will soon be absolutely es- sential. There are.huge numbers of people -who do not feel financially able to attend. the .state brities is confident that Larry Hodgson is going to pull down the goverforship, something not im- possible, but hardly probable, and that Cox will carry Minnesota. ~There is some excuse for the Hodgson, prophecy, but where they get the=Cox stuff is not ‘explained.

With-an increased interest in stock raising, the live' stock 'exhibits’ should - also begcome of a higher grade. =But here again comes the call for a suitable place for exhibiting such stock.
