TO FURNISH FUNDS FOR A NEW
BUILDING FOR WOMEN.

board Of directors OF the fair associa-
tion met last Thursday evening and
attended to considerable routine bust
ness. In the matter of the premium
list it was decided to print $500 cop
les and to mail 1900 Of these in the
county. all this to be done prior to
June 18th. So that the list will be in
the hands Of the people and the adver-
Using have a good three months In
which to work before the dates Of the
fair. In order to complete the action
that was taken last year in increasing
the capital stock it was found neces-
sary to call a special meeting OF the
stockholders to meet in this city on
June 4th at 2 O'Clock, to vote ON the
question again as the former action
was not in conformity with the law Of
the state. The secretary Is sending
out notices to this effect to each stock
holder and has attached a blank proxy
so that as soon as it is received the
stakeholder can send the proxy in and
thus assure there being the requisite
t%wc-thirds vote present at the meet
ing to take the desired action. This
is lone SC that each one can send In
the proxy and if anything prevents
the stakeholder being present his vote
will however be there and the result
accomplished. If he should send In
his proxy and then be there In per-
son the proxy could be withdrawn II
he so desired.
1t was decided to go on with the
erection of a woman's building just
as soon as possible and more stock OF
the association will be sold at once
improvements. The old horse sheds
back of the grand stand will be re-
} moved and the lumber used tc build a
horse barn down near the southwest
corner Of the grcundJ.
Messers e. c. Olson and e. L. Spur
t ling were selected to go to Huron this
z week and meet with amusement man.
, ayers and take steps to contract for
up-to-date, clean amusements for the
t fair. There Is a meeting Of all the
fairs of the state this week at Huron
and they will have an opportunity to
get the pick Of any attraction offered.
The superintendent Of the poultry
department was authorized to arrange
with Mr.. G.. d. Holden, of Owatonna,
Mimi, to act as Judge in this depart
ment, where he gave such universal
satisfaction last year as an expert
Judge.
All the divisions of the woman's de-
partment have been placed under n
superintendent, Mrs. G. d. Kendall,
who will have an assistant superinten.
dent in charge Of each division. The
dairy division WIS placed under the
charge of e. G. Sheldon, superinten-
dent of agricultural products.
The premium list will be larger than
last year and will be printed on white
paper and make a very attractive book
as we'll as a useful and valuable
advertising medium. All those who
were advertisers last year and those
who desire to profit by the distribution
of $500 copies among the farmers and
producers Of this county and vicinity,
should get in communication with the
secretary and make arrangements for
their advs. This must be done soon
as the association is determined to
have the book in every home in the
county by the middle Of June.
With ordinarily favorable condi-
tons the fair this year is bound to be
a record breaker and II all the citi-
zens of the county will boost as hard
and as faithfully as they have in the
pest, there Is no doubt but what Brook
ings county will receive an immense
amount Of publicity and advertising
that will be to her glory and profit.
