MR PROMISES ABIG EVENT WHOLE COUNTY IS INTERESTED IN MAKING THE MATTER A BIG SUCCESS. The fair management is arrang ing some of the best prizes of any lair association that has yet been compared to the local one. The i ash prizes as now being compiled by IheW allowa county association are very high when brought Into com parison with several older associa tions that have been long established and hvae been paying dividends to their stockholders. i To give some ktea of what l being do.ie, the local association will spend on the fair a sum probably of ' $4,000. There will be given i.i cash prizes alone about 11,500. Added to this the business men will offer special cash prizes amounting in, the neighborhood of several hundred dol lars. The amusement feature of the lair will not at alL beforgotten nor j neglected, and on this feature alone I $1,000 will be expended. The county has been divid-ad into districts for competition for many of the cash prizes, giving all an oppor tunity to win, then sweep slakes lollow among the striving winners. The management Is thus arranging the cash prizes so that the widest interest will be manifest In winning ' them, and so that everyone in the county will have an opportunity to win something.
