THAT IS THE ATTITUDE OF A LARGE SECTION TOWARD KANKAKEE FAIR. All over northeastern Illinois ami northwestern Indiana, comprising the counties of Kankakee, Will, Iroquois. Grundy, Livingston and Ford, in Illinois, and counties contiguous to the state line in Indiana, the people are looking forward with the expectancy displayed each year for the advent of the great Kankakee District Fair, which opens its gates to the public on September Ith ami continues for live days and four evenings to furnish the great annual entertainment feature of this section of the country. This year the boundaries of the Kankakee district from a fair standpoint will be extended, for the beauties, the wonders, the glories and the splendid entertainment furnished by the" Kankakee District Fair have became known far beyond what has always been considered the district. Counties as far off as Champaign. Macon, La Salle, Bureau and even Lake and Cook counties on the north have heard of the great fair at Kankakee and many people are planning to attend it. The Chicago Southern Traction Company will give a round trip rate of SI.OO from the big city to the fair. The Kankakee District Fair is far superior to many of the State Fairs in the country. Long lists of premiums, aggregating great amounts, are offered and competed for in all classes, thus bringing a wonderful display of animals, products of the farm, of mechanical arts and textiles. If yoii hare never attended the Kankakee District Fair yon njust not allow the exhibition to go on this year without your presence among the vast throngs that attend. A
