A COUNTY EXHIBIT
Idea OF Dir. Dubois is Endorsed
by tie St. Cloud Jour-
E8!-PreSS

The ST. Cloud Journal Press of Sept.
Is contains the following:
"Dr. j. A. Dubois, the we'll known
and popular Sank Centre physician,
was in the city yesterday on bus
mess. DR.. Dubois is physician and
surgeon to the new Home for Girls
! at Sank Centre and was one of the
leading spirits to secure the location
OF that institution at Sank Centre.
The doctor is very enthusiastic
about that institution, but. strange
TO say, he has thought absolutely
independent Of the girls school and
he is equally enthusiastic for that
child OF his mind. DR.. Dubois be-
lleves that StearnS county should
Immediately commence preparing for
a county exhibit at the next state
fair that will not only advertise tie
county and its wonderful fertility
and agricultural resources, but also
stamp it as county of possibilities
to the homeseeker.
THE doctor visited the fair last
week and was panied to note that
Sfp3rOS county yvoS NOT roproroptoJ
among the progressive counties of
the state by an exhibit. He stated
that other counties, not nearly so
large, wealthy or fertile, had eX-
hlbits in the agricultural building
that excited the admiration of tie
thousands of visitors who thronged
that building during the fair week,
and that the entire expense entailed
in assembling and installing the ex-
hibits did not exceed $500. This sum
DR.. Dubois would raise by means of
an appropriation from the county
commissioners and contributions from
the various commercial b q j S
throughout the county, and he be-
lieVes that no time should be lost in
getting to work upon securing the
financial backing necessary to thor
Oughly representative exhibit that
would be credit to the county.
THE Journal-Press is heartily in
accord with the doctors views in this
particular matter aud trusts that
movement looking to Stearns county's
appearance with an exhibit at the
next fair be inaugurated at an early
date, that there may be no delay
when the time for gathering the ex-
hibit comes around"

Everybody seemed to have lost his presence

Horace had sunk once and was sinking for

Arthur Burton's face was the picture of

to plunge to certain death. The best and

But there was no time to be lost if they
would save their drowning companion.
