FARM BUREAU DAY will be 

 celebrated at the Illinois State 

 Fair on Friday (August 24) as 

 In former years. The Fair opens 

 officially on Aug. 18 and continues 

 until Aug. 25. The big I.A.A. tent with 

 parcel checking facilities, drinking 

 water, chairs and exhibits, will be lo- 

 cated in approximately the same posi- 

 tion as last year. The Country Life 

 Queen Contest in charge of V. Vani- 

 man, will feature the contest winners 

 from 34 counties chosen last winter. 

 This event will be held in the colise- 

 um and will begin at 10:30 A. M. 

 T Personality, natural beauty, poise, 

 charm, etc. were among the points 

 followed by the judges in selecting the 

 winners from more than 600 young 

 ladies who competed in the 1934 con- 

 test, says Mr. Vaniman. 



A huge triangular platform four 

 feet wide and sixty feet on each side 

 — total 180 feet — will be constructed 



in the coliseum where judges will se- 

 lect the Country Life Queen of Illi- 

 nois for 1934 and her Maid of Honor. 

 This will be the fourth annual state 

 contest. .;•' V -c^.-.: ■■'■■';■ 



: Complimentary tickets will go to 

 all counties having entries. More 

 than 5,000 people witnessed the selec- 

 tion of Miss Roma Breimer of Lee 

 county as state winner last year. 



Harvey J. Sconce, an official of the 

 Century of Progress, one of the 

 judges at the 1932 contest, gave the 

 idea and plan to officials of the 

 World's Fair last year. They turned 

 it over to a newspaper (Tribune) 

 which sponsored a personality contest 

 modeled after the Country Life Queen 

 contest."'";''^'.^.:^':-;.:;: •".'';;•'';., ^ 



I. A. A. headquarters primarily 

 will be a place where Farm Bureau 

 members and their friends can rest 

 and visit. The committee from the 

 I. A. A. staff is planning to have 



musical entertainment by 4-H Club 

 orchestras and other talent dis- 

 covered during a series of lyceum 

 meetings arranged by County Farm 



•Bureaus last winter. The Farm 

 Chorus under the direction of D. E. 



• Lindstrom will be a special feature. 



; It is planned to install a radio in the 

 tent and bring in daily market re- 

 ports for posting on the blackboard. 

 A short speaking program will be 

 held in connection with the personal- 

 ity contest.
