bration--V Vaudeville Show. on the Street

There will be amusement galore at
the Harvest Festival on Monday

be abolutely free. Four
Of the best vaudeville teams on the
road have been engaged by the en-
tertainment committee at cost OF
several hundred dollars and eight
or ten free exhibitions will be given

will be given in such a way that no
matter how large the crowd is, all
will be able to enjoy the stunts.
Mr.. Webster, who manages q great
many vaudeville teams, will arrive
in Minot on Sunday and will person
ally superintend the putting on of
these four shows, insuring the best
of service.
t is possible that James ]. Hill
will be here during the Festival or
at least on the first day. He is
booked to speak at Albert Lea, MINI.
during the week, but it is believed
that he could make the Minot en-
Eagement and still fulfill his engage
.ment in Minnesota. Mr.. Hill will
be a great card if he comes.
The parade will be
big one, which will consist OF
floats, decorated autos, the soldier
boys, fire department, bands, lodges,
md in fact everything that goes to
make up Busy Minot. Many Of her
industrial phases will be shown. A
prize is to be given for the pest
decorated automobile
There will be some exceedingly
funny features regarding the par
ade which will be we'll worth seeing.
The premiums will be awarded on
the second day. Competent Judges
In all departments have been APP
pointed.
In this connection, we might re-
mark, that there has been a change
IN the selection of the judges for

The Festival has been well adver-
tised. The conductors on the two
branches Of the Great Northern,
distributed bills in the most prominent
places Of each town along those lines,
ana special men have been travel
ing over the county distributing the
thousands Of prize lists and hanging
the immense red posters. It Is
. certainty that from i've to ten
