HILL AND POINDExTfR
Great Northern Railway MaQnate
and U. S. Senator From Wash
ingt0n Will Speak
BIG SHOW WIDE OPEN
Greatest Aggregation of Drawing
Cards Ever Slated at Central
Minnesota fair

James J. Hill, Great Northern Rail-
way magnate and empire builder, at
the Stearns county fair on Thursday,
September r.
Hon. Miles Poindexter, United
States senator from the state Of
Washington, the man who skinned
Ballinger, and one of the big guns
among the Progressives, at the
Stearns county fair on Saturday, Sep
TENDER IA.
These are the two stellar attrac-
tions billed for the biggest fair that
ever was seen in central Minnesota.
Hill is authority on farming and
stock raising, in which every farmer
in Stearns and adjoining counties is
interested. Poindexter is authority
on politics, especially of the Progress
sive brand, which is mighty popular
these days. What these two gentle
men can't tell the visitors to the
tenth annual fair of the Agricultural
Society of Stearns county, which is to
be held i'm Sank Centre on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday of this week,
will not be worth telling, each man
speaking along his own lines. These
speeches will each begin at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon. Remember that
Mr.. Hill is billed 10 speak on Thurs
day, the 18TH, and Senator Poindex-
ter on Saturday. Sept. 18th.
But brainy men and good takers
are not the only attractions to be on
| exhibition at the big fair: bless your
heart, no. There are fat cattle and
hogs and sheep, fine poultry, wheat,
corn, rye, barley, oats, corn, potatoes,
turnips and all sorts of garden truck.
There will be preserved fruit and jam
and bread and pies, all like mother
used to make, or rather which mother
has made and fixed up fine for the
display at the big Stearns county fair.
There are school exhibitions of all
sorts-products of the hands and the
brains of the boys and girls of Stearns
and adjoining counties, and fine, large
building to put these products in so
that they are displayed to the best
possible advantage. And John Nc
Gibbon and A. w. Austin and Doc
Dubois and La Kels nd Albert
Butcher, and Cash Sprague, and G. M.
Bryant, and job lot of other people
will be there.
And amusements, too; now you're
talking. T h e biggest amusement
card that was ever offered at fair i'm
this neck of the woods, and don't you
forget it, Horse races, motorcycle
races, base ball games and lots of
things. The Ishikawa Japs will twist
aud turn and squirm and all but turn
themselves inside out for the amuse-
ment of the public. Then there will
be lots of other things to entertain
and amuse. There are numerous con-
cessions located at different points on
the grounds all of which will attract,
entertain, amuse and divert.
The fair opened this morning and
will not close until Saturday night.
Everything has been done that posi-
bly, could be done to make it the sue
cess that it's bound to be. 1t has
been extensively and thoroughly ad-
|vertised. II there's any person living
within radius of twenty-five miles
of Sank Centre who h asn't heard of
the fair must have been sound asleep
the past month, for the advertiser has
has been abroad in the land The de-
tailed program was published in last
weeks issue of The Herald, but to
make sure that all shall see it, it Is
republished in this issue. All aboard
for the fair.
