COMEDY EVENTS
ATM S
Crowd Will Be Kept In High
Pitch of Excitement Here
' Labor .t Pay
One of the laugh getting feat
ures of the big auto race meet
to be held at the fair grounds in
Saleb Labor day, for the benefit
of the Salem hospital, will be the
five-mile race between, second
hand, cars, valued at not more
than $50. By this,' It is meant
that any one entering a ear must
be prepared- to sell the same for
the magnificent sum of 50 slugs.
ThsL winner of this hair raising,
blood curdling event is going to
be rewarded with a cash purse
that will well ; repay any one's
time and trouble, who thinks, that
the old concrete mixer is Just as
fast as she ever was. As a sequel
to the above event there will be
held one other race, for. the slw-
est cars in the second-hand car
race, but the entrants of this can
not be made public until the day
of the race.
You are going to laugh when
you see these two funny events.
for they are going to be worth far
more than the price of admission
alone, to say nothing of the very
high class type of performance all
through the afternoon, and eve
ning. ' si"i ' ;
Those In charge of the big La
bor day program have given their
word that there will be no anx
ious and tiresome waiting, no uncalled-for
delays, and when you
attend the big event you are go
ing to go away saying. "I feel
fully satisfied. In fact I am sur
prised that. I have had such a
wonderful tfme.v for there was
something doing every minute!"
