AT CARNIVAL
Plans for Making the Entertain.
mentS Memorable in Local
Fair History.

Willmar Street Fair will undoubt-
edly be a fine 1911 model automo-
bile. While not officially deter
mined as yet. the association has
had the matter under discussion and
a delegation visited the various
agencies at Minneapolis last Mon
day to look into the matter of Sc
curing such a machine. A meet
ing will be held tonight to finally
determine the matter. Such a
prize will no doubt attract great
deal of attention and put some GIN
ger into the annual carnival con-
test. The contest will probably be
open to lady contestants only, and
the details of the contest will no
doubt resemble those Of former
fairs in that one vote will be given
for each cent contributed to the
carnival fund of the fair. Here
will be chance for some lady to
secure a handsome machine of the
latest model, and we would advise
all interested to watch at the drug
stores of Willmar for the ballot
boxes to open to receive the nomin-
ating votes.
The free street program is being
completed. There will be one high
class thrilling act every afternoon
and evening, when ''Rollo" comes
down an immense incline on roller
skates and turns a somersault in
the air, alighting on his feet and
continuing his descent. The stag
ing will be brilliantly illuminated
and searchlight will play over the
fair grounds every evening from
the top of the structure.
Another high-class act will be the
LaMoure family, expert trapeze
performers. who have won national
fame with the Barnum & Bailey
circus.
There will be brilliant displays
of Gregory's finest pyrotechics on
at least two evenings of the fair.
Music will be furnished by the
Willmar Military Band. The boys
are working hard to: complete their
program Of oVertures. for the con-
certs.s
The Fair Association hopes to
be able to eliminate the bringing
in Of carnival company. The
booking of independent shows is ex-
tremely difficult however, and only
thru the great reputation which
the Willmar fair has secured for
attendance is it possible to secure
any at all. Negotiations are now
on with number of the best tent
shows that will exhibit at the State
fair grounds, and it is probable
that several of these that go west
after the big state fair will stop at
Willmar. Included among these
are the "Streets Of Cairo,' with
their drove of camels, Klara Lar
sons company Of Swedish National
Dancers, and expert swimming ex-
hibitions.

A New Cigar Factory.

A. J. Appelgren has recently
opened cigar factory in this city,
with location in the Bonde Block.
He makes speciality of one brand
which he calls the Golden A" ci-

obliged to hire help to assist him
