THE Tri-State Fair proposition
recently discussed at the Brainerd
meeting, is meeting with much
favor. The object of the Tri-State
Fair is to make display of the re-
sources of Northern Minnesota
Michigan and Wisconsin. This
region has conditions in common
and could set forth a display that
would rival any. The proposal to
hold the fair at Superior also meets
with approval and that city has
already appropriated $4,000 as q
nucleus towards an exhibition
Superior also offers 700 acres OF
land in the heart of the city upon
which to locate it.

EVERY line in newspaper costs
the proprietor something If it's
for the benefit of the individual il
should be paid for. If the grocer
were asked to contribute groceries
to one abundantly able to pay for
them he would refuse. The pro-
prietor of a newspaper must pay
for the free advertising if the
beneficiary does not, and yet it is
one of the hardest things to be
learned by many that a newspaper
has space columns to rent, and must
rent to live. To give away rent
for anything less than living rates
is as fatal to a newspaper as for
landlord to furnish rent free.

in and fairly smothered his adversary
beneath an avalanche OF blows, as
did Terry McGovern when he was in
his prime.
