rlaiI Order Buying.
Morris. Aug. q. 1906.

MOTIFS, aug Il, lSoo.
EDITOR TRIBUNE,
Our local paper has told great deal
about mail order houses. In reply
I wish to say about mail order buying.
The competition of the catalogue
houses with the country or village
merchant has broken down the lat
ter's monopoly of farmers trade and
he is making great and distressing
howl about it. 1t is much easier for
farmer to write to big catalogue
house and have an immense stock to
select from than it is to try to be salts
fed with the shelfworn goods and
the limited variety of the small dealer
in small towns. We can't blame the
small dealer for high prices as he has
family to support usually and needs
the money badly. But after all why
pay village monopolist prices when
the big reliable catalogue houses offer
better, fresher, more modern goods
at less than the country merchant
himself pays at wholesale? This diff
ference in price is not always so
great as that but there is always a
a very considerable saving and it
makes the buyer independent of the
imitatio of his near by town. The
day has gone by when the up-to date
farmer needs to swap butter and eggs
for dry goods and clothing; he is a
business man now and getting to be a
better one every day. Mail order
buying is helping to make him such.
Yours truly,
JOHN WILLIE,
A farmer.

THE BEST FAIR (
OF ALL.
OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO AGRI-
CULTURAL INTERESTS.
Opens Sept. 3 With an Addres s
by James j. Hill.

The Minnesota state fair of 1906
now promises to be the most signifi-
cant occasion in the history of agri-
culture in the northwest.
The great livestock ampitheater
which will be opened and dedicated
on Monday, Sept. 8, the opening day
of the fair, stands for diversified ag-
ricultural interests in the northwest
and shows the Importance of the live
stock industry as factor in the ag-
ricultural life of this region. 1t is the
finest and largest livestock amphi-
theater of all the buildings in the
country devoted to it's uses. 1t means
in way that Minnesota is going to
be one of the greatest livestock states
in the union. 1t means too that the
work of the Minnesota state fair of
past years has borne fruit-that the
state is already one of the leaders in
the breeding of fine stock.
The latter fact is emphasized too in
the sale of shorthorn cattle during the
fair. A large proportion of the
animals to be offered for sale are from
Minnesota farms-and the others
from farms in Iowa, Wisconsin and
the Dakotas not far away.
James J. Hill, a lifelong patron of
husbandry and especially of livestock
breeding, is to make the address of
dedication at II o'clock on Monday,
the opening day. Mr.. Hill is always
an interesting speaker and on this
occasion is likely to Guido himself as
the time sand occasion will be of
very great personal interest to him.
Late reports from the fair grounds
show that the fair will be larger than
ever in all the matters of exhibits,
animals, etc.
In the farm machinery division
every foot of space is taken-this
means the largest farm implement
and machinery exhibit ever made at
any time Or place.
The opening of the new livestock
amphitheater naturally attacts large
showing of animals. There will be
three great auction sales of purebred
stock. Swine will require extra room
although the great swine exhibition
building is the largest IN the world.
On the amusement side the fair will
be exceptionally strong. Programs
before the grand stand will be given
both afternoon and evening, high
class racing being prominent
feature with clean and novel vaude-
vile, specialties, balloon ascensions,
etc., as prominent features. A six
days. ladies' relay riding race will be
one of the popular events. "Moscow"
will burn in pyrotechnics each even
ing.
On Monday Dan Patch and Creceus
will go against their own worlds rec
ords-an event of intense and entirely
unusual interest.
