However fine the other organizations, The Army is bright and brilliant.” The Salvation Army has won millions of friends— In all churches and all walks of life—because it knows no creeds and has no prejudices. It stands forth as the champion of the weak and the humble.

The Sixth Annual fair of the Holt County Fair Asociation closed last Friday and it was the most successful fair ever held in this county. The at tendance this year was larger than ever before, the crowd in this city last Thursday being about 6,000 people. It was by far the largest crowd that was ever in the city and the receipts at the fair that day were about as much as the two best days other years. In the amusement line the free acts, roller skating, by two of America’s cleverest roller artists, and the minstrel boys, were greatly ap preciated. On Thursday the wrestling match between Stecker and Pinto was the great sporting event and was em joyed by the spectators, that is those of them that could get a view of the contestants. Stecker won the first fall in fifteen minutes and the second fall and the match in six miuutes. Ball games were provided each afternoon and were enjoyed by large crowds. In addition to these amusements there were horse races, foot races, etc., be sides the tented show of the Justus Romain Co. Friday the attendance was not nearly as large as on Thurs day. On this day there was to have been aeroplane flights but that after noon the management received word that the aviator had hard luck the day before and broke his machine, so he would be unable to appear. This was disappointing, but the cause for the non-appearance of the plane was un avoidable. The exhibits in the agri cultural hall and the stock barns were fine. An exceptional large exhibit of hogs were on display and there were some splendid animals there. This fair has proven that we can have a number one fair in this county each ■_ - -.- - -- .. ... ■- •• - - year if everyone puts their shoulder to the wheel and boosts. Charter No. 5770 „ r,. . . .
