a torch or by other means attempt tr

G. A. Didier, of Chicago, who install-,

Big Preparations Are Being
Made for Sheridan Co. Fair
Exhibits from All Parts of Sheridan County Will Be On Dis
play At Show Room In Farmer-Labor Temple, October 10
11-12. Livestock Demonstration Train Will Be Here As
1 Extraordinary Attraction October 11th.
The Fair Board in conjunction with the various committees ap
pointed are going forward with an extensive program that gives
every indication of surpassing any event of its kind ever held in
this county.
Word has come into the Fair Board
that farmers are preparing their ex
hibits with unusual care and that a
fine display of grains, grasses and
vegetables will greet the visitors' eyes
as they enter the Farmer-Labor Tem

County Agent Ferguson has been
using every effort to see that every
community is represented, and from
all reports his efforts will be reward
ed with one of the finest displays of
Sheridan county products ever seen
in this city.
The wonderful crops of 1928 in
this county have brought about an
enthusiasm to show their products by
the farmers in greater numbers than
has been recorded in previous fairs,
and the competition for prizes will be
keen. ' _
Pine prizes will also be the reward
of the winners in the different divi
sions of agricultural products, a list
