ceedingly short This Is due somewhat to the
green feed being dried up by the prevailing
north winds and also from the fact that some

100 eggs from his flock in day. and stated

Preparations Are Begun For a Sue
CeSStui Celebration and For
Fine Exhibit

S&uk Centre will have grand
Fourth Of July celebration this year.
There vii! also be the best coun>y
fair that Stearns county ever had.
These two things were decided at a
Meeting of business men held at
police headquarters Wednesday night.
c. ID. Marshall presided and A. w.
Austin, secretary Of the Agricultural
Society, officiated as secretary. There
was a fair representation of Sauk
Centres business men present.
Nj. Austin read a letter from the
secretary Of the Stevens county fair
association at Morris proposing that
Stearns county Join with them,
Douglas and Pope counties for CIR
cult in the Fall. Mr.. Austin wac
directed to correspond with the Stew
ems comfy man to see if an arrange.
ment could not be effected.
Tne general feeling was that the
fair proposition should be pushed
from now on and make the exhibit
the best the county has ever seen.
Work along that line is to begin at
once.
The Fourth of July proposition met
with instant approval and there was
not enc opposing word said. The
chairman was instructed to appoint an
executive committee on arran gements,
each to consist Of three members.
The plans include, in the outline,
fine industrial parade, balloon
aCcension and other live attractions.
The details will be worked out as soon
is possible. Mr.. MARSHALL will an
nounce his committees III a few days

PRFSFRVATIVE PROCESS
Methods That May Be Employed
to Keep Fence Posts in Com
mission Much Longer

1t is estimated that a fence post,
which under ordinary circumstances
will last for perhaps two years, will,
if given preservativc treatment cost
ing about 10 cents, last eighteen years
The service of other timbers, such as
railroad ties, telephone poles, and
mine props, can be doubled and often
trebled by inexpensive preServative
treatment. Today, when the cost of
wood is a big item to every farmer,
