Things Getting Into Shape for the
Annual Event
SECRETARY IS BUSY
Preparations are in Making for an
Exposition That Will Rank
With Its Predecessors

Hon. Frank E. Minette, secretary
of the Agricultural Society of Stearns
County, is busy these days getting
things in shape for the ninth annual
fair of the society which is billed to
be held in Sank Centre August 31st.,
Sept. 1st. and End, 1911.
Mr.. Minette has met with good sue
cess thus far in planning the attrac-
lions for the fair and believes that
the event will compare favorably with
preceding fairs. The premium lists
have been distributed for several
weeks and inquiries concerning en-
tries have been coming in right along.
In spite of the fact that the crop this
year is not a good one, the indications
are that there will be a good display
OF agricultural products.
In the amusement line this year it
has been thought advisable to have a
base ball tournament. Arrangements
are partially completed for this feat
ure and it is hoped that the schedule
will be ready to be made public in the
near future.
The secretary is planning to have
some running races, one of which will
be ladies' horse race. This will be
novel attraction here and will un-
|donbtedly draw well.
The work of advertising the fair is
progressing. Large bills will be ready
to put out the latter part of the pres
tent week. Secretary Minette proposes
to conductra campaign along this line
that will let the people in this region
know that Stearns county is going to
have a first class fair in this year OF
oCO IilIiCOCCh clcySH. 1t
proposes to visit neighboring towns
with automobiles, taking along must.
clans to play on band instruments and
call the attention of the denizens of
those towns to the fair. Mr.. Minette
has already received offers of owners
of automobiles to take their machines
and make one or more trips of this
nature. He asks The Herald to state
that volunteers in this good work will
be gladly welcomed. Such persons
will confer favor by communicate
ing, at their earliest opportunity,
with the secretary. by all pushing
together the fair can and will be made
the success that the officers of the
society expect it to be.

Midsummer Storm Does Damage
Around Sank Centre
CROPS ARE INJURED
Terrific DOwnpOur of Rain Accom-
panied by Ice Pellets Causes Con-
sternati0n Around Here

The drouth is broken at last, three
heavy transforms during which some
thing like four or five inches of water
fell, accompanied by hail in some
places, hitting Sank Centre and vicin-
ity the past week.
The first storm came Sunday even
ing following two days of almost I'M
exampled heat and humidity. Sunday
afternoon the heat was we'll nigh over
powering and no one could find a
comfortable spot though all sought
one. Shortly before six o'clock the
wind, which had blown hard from
the south during the day, died down
and for a while there was an unnatural
calm that portended a severe storm.
A little after six cyclonic gusts of
wind stirred things up and in few
minutes heavy down pour began.
The rain fell heavily all night long,
Sank Lake showing a rise of over one
inch and Birch Lake about the same.
Monday morning the roads were mud
dy and puddles of waters standing
everywhere, sight that has not been
witnessed in this vicinity for two or
three years.
Monday afternoon about two o'clock
there was another rain storm that
lasted over an hour and then settled
down to a steady rain that kept up
till about six o'clock. Fully as much
water fell as during the preceding
night.
AS though this was not enough a
third storm struck Sank Centre Mon
day night, fully as hard as the two
that preceded it. Tuesday morning
Sydney Merryman, secretary of the
Central Minnesota Power & Milling
Company, told The Herald that Sank
Lake had risen over four inches. The
ground is thoroughly wet down and
corn and late patatoes are greatly
benefited.
As illustrating how much water
fell Monday afternoon, at the Congre-
gational church corner, half an hour
after rain commenced falling, the
water stood in a great puddle and
boys were wading in it knee Deep
No damage was done in the city.
North and east of the city, hail ac-
companied the rain of Monday after
noon and laid waste quite an extent
of territory. On the farms of Chas.
A. Morse, Gust Emblom and num-
Der of others in that vicinity, the
hail practically destroyed corn and
vegetables. Over twenty windows
were reported broken in the farm
house of Mr.. Emblom. George NJ.
Deyoe's farm was also hit.

TWO RECENT WEDDINGS
Marriage of George Butler and Miss
Edna Brown--AIbert AamOt
Takes a Wife

Sunday evening, at eight o'clock oc-
cured the wedding of Miss Edna
Brown, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Brown of this city, to Mr..
George Butler. The ceremony was
performed at the residence of the
BRIDES parents, the officiating clergy
man being Rev. S. L. Mitchell, rector
of the Church of the Good Samaritan.
Only the immediate relatives were
present. The ring ceremony of the
Episcopal Church was used. The
bride was handsomely attired in violet
silk. She wore beautiful necklace
with diamond pennant, a gift from
the groom. Following the ceremony
refreshments were served.
Mr.. and Mrs. Butler left Monday
morning for Birch Lake on a brief
wedding trip. They will return in a
week or ten days and begin house
keeping in the house near the Congre-
gational church recently purchased
and improved by the groom. Both
bride and groom are well known and
esteemed in Sank Centre and vicinity
where they have many friends.
On Thursday, July 81, at the resi-
dence of the BRIDES parents at Graz
mite Falls, Mimi, occurred the marri-
age of Miss Trudie Alyina Mikkleson
to Mr.. Albert julius Aamot. The
groom has been in the employ of
Hanson 8 Emerson of this city for a
few months past and during his resi-
dence here has won the esteem of his
employers and of the public. The
bride is popular society lady of
Granite Falls. Mr.. and Mrs. Aamot
will return soon to Sank Centre and
will be at home to their friends after
September 1st.

Girls at the Home School Take
Mrs. Morse by Surprise
THEY LIKE HER RULE
Call on Her in a Body on the First
Anniversary of Her Admin
istrati0n

The inmates of the Minnesota Home
School for Girls certainly appreciate
what the new superintendent, Mrs.
Fannie French Morse, has done for
them and her, methods in conducting
the institution. Before her advent
the plan of running the school was
quite different from what it now is.
The inmates used to be treated very
much like criminals and force was
often in evidence. When Mrs. Morse
took charge she instituted new
regime and began treating the girls
like human beings and handled them
with kindness. The results from this
latter plan have thus far been quite
satisfactory and it is believed will be
permanently so. MRS. Morse's long
experience in similar Institution in
Massachusetts,, where she was when
Minnesota secured her services, go to
justify this belief.
Tuesday, August l, was the first
anniversary of Mrs. Morse's assump-
ton of the office of superintendent.
On that date one year ago, she for
mally assumed charge of the school,
then located at Red Wing. Last
Tuesday afternoon, while Mrs. Morse
was occupied with her duties in her
Office, there was rap at the door.
Upon opening to the visitors Mrs.
Morse found there awaiting her one
of the older girls, while back of her
in the corridor were gathered all the
other girls, every one of them arrayed
| in her best raiment. The leader said
they had called to pay their respects.
In response to a cordial invitation
from the superintendent, the girls all
entered and the leader thereupon
made very neat little speech, in
which she called attention to the fact
that the day was the anniversary of
Mrs. Morse's assumption of the SUI
perintendency, and then went on to
congratulate her upon her successful
work and to express the high appre-
citation for what she had done for
every inmate.
Mrs. Morse was taken completely
by surprise at the cordial expression
of good will and replied to the greet
ing in an appropriate manner.
After she had personally greeted
each girl, the visitors retired and
presently reappeared with refresh
ments in the form of excellent ice
cream and dainty and delicious cake
which they had made with their own
hands. The next half hour passed
very pleasantly in an Informally socia,
way with the refreshments as an
acceptable side issue. When the girls
left the kindest wishes were ex-
changed. Their visit left in the
minds of both superintendent and
visitors the pleasantest possible re-
collections and the feeling that the
future had much of good in store for
all. /.

time he has not made the fact known

Chairman E. E. Smithof the repub-
lican state central committee is my
authority for the statement that R. E.
Thompson of Preston, former state
senator from Fillmore county, would
not object to try at Sam Gordon's
job, the lieutenant governorship. Mr..
Thompson was in the Twin Cities last
week, but Mr.. Smith seems to be the
only one to whom he mentioned his
ambitions. The Fillmore county man
is member of the old school and is
regarded highly down in the First dis
trict. Another possibility mentioned
in this capacity is Daniel Shell of
Worthington. Dan was member of
the state senate some years ago and
figured last year as possible APP
pointee to place on the State Board
of Control. 1t is rumored, too, that
Speaker Fl. H. Dunn of Albert Lea
might get into the game.
But what about the democrats in
all this gossip? Not word down
here. With Frank A. Day sdeparture
for the wilds of Montana, where with
John E. King, former state librarian,
hesis now running daily paper, went
a line of daily publicity that made
John A. Johnson invinciable and dem
ocracy something to be reckoned with
as far as the North Star state was
concerned, but all is silence now.
There is no one to speak for the clans.
Even National Committeeman Fred
Lynch is silent Do not take this,
however, as meaning that the other
side of the political house has given
up the ghost. Far from it. Re T..
O'Connor, the ST. Paul boss, Fred
Lynch and score of others scattered
over the state are quietly looking for
a Moses and they expect to find one
that will snatch the coveted bone from
