Annual Exposition at Sank Centre
Is NoY On
OPENED THIS MORNING
is Here and Aviator is Ready
to Soar Away Up Among
the Clouds

The ninth annual fair of the Agri-
cultural Society of Stearns county
opened this morning at the fair
grounds In Sank Centre and will con-
tinue until Saturday night. There
has been goodly number Of entries
in all departments and everything
promises excellently for fine fair.
Prof. Thos. Mccoy of Grand Forks,
N. D., is here with his aeroplane
ready to fly. This is great attract
ion and the indications are for a re-
cord-breaking attendance. Som e
twenty ST. Cloud automobiles will
come on Friday bringing bunch of
people to see the fair. The following
communication from the president of
the fair association will be read with
interest:
sit is hoped that every citizen of the
city will, by his presence at the COM
ing fair, do his best to promote this
enterprise. All understand the diff
ficulties attending the early days of
such an institution. But our farm
ing community is displaying a keen
int in II of 1a al ho1 >o
hind. Although our exhibits are yet
far behind those of longer established
fair associations in our state, they are
a forecast of the time when we shall
be unsurpassed by none.
GAS it is, in certain departments,
you will see a display of which Stearns
county can justly be proud. Take
the exhibit of Mr.. Wilmerding, the
enthusiastic horticulturist of Free
port. 1t would be credit to any
fruit-growing state in the Union.
Such men should receive the warmest
approval of the public. They are
pathfnders, blazing the way, and show
what old Stearns county is capable of
producing from her soil. This exhibit
alone is worth four times the price of
of admission at the gates to see.
"Now, what is the matter with Sank
Centre turning out in force? Let
each one consider himself as a full
grown, 60 horse power booster. Do
this and the first thing you know our
financial standing will allow us to
knock the steeple off from the old
church, put up suitable buildings and
hold can annual Stearns county fair
which shall lead all similar county or
CARNATIONS, and in which we shall all
take pardonable pride"

A party close to the throne offers
this as the next republican state CEN
vention slate: Governor, A. o. Eber-

of state, Julius A. Schmahl; railroad
and warehouse commissioners, Ira B.
Mills and C. e. Elmquist:a United

ney general, Lyndon A. Smith. 1t is
not the only slate, however, that is in
the making. There are others, but
none is so acceptable to the 'sins" as
the one my informant gives.
State Senator Julius Collier of Scott
county has just arrived from Ohio
and he is enthusiastic regarding Gov
ernor Harmon of that state as the
democratic candidate for president.
