sic, Education and inspiration.
bigger and better than ever IL
.hackneyed phrase, but it seems to be
the one that can be most appropriate
" applied to the Minnesota State Fair
and Exposition of 1913. Large plans
have been surely laid to bring this
about, and the managers of the
worlds biggest state fair insist that
nothing but bad weather during the
week of Sept. i to 6 can prevent this
years show from SURPRISING, in every
department, it's predecessors and
other such expositons in the United
States. Even bad weather will not
prevent the exhibition Of educational
features at Hamline from being bet
ter than ever before, and with the
exception of some Of the amusement
features, everything will 60 on just
the same, no matter what the perform
ances of the weather man may be.
OF Educational Value.
The Minnesota State Fair last year
offered more money in premiums than
any other fair In the United States,
and this year the managers have IN
creased these offerings, making
grand total of $91,889.00. These hber-
al prizes, hung up in fifteen depart
ments, insure the appearance at the
fair this year of championship exh1b-
it's in every line Of work and play.
In addition to the regular exhibits,
there will be scores of practical work
ing exhibits, from which the visitors
can learn the operation of the latest
inventions, the most scientific meth
DDS of raising and handling live stock,
poultry, bees, ETC., and can gain in
struction in all the matters that make
farming profitable. The managers are
adding everything possible to make
the State Fair what it should be-"the
peoples school for week.
Farm Boys Camp.
The Second Annual State Fair Farm
Boys Encampment will be a big feat
ure of the 1913 exposition. The man
ayers will pay the expenses of 1O4
farm boys. One will be selected by a
local committee in each county of the
state, and two have been chosen by
the managers from each congressional
district. These young agriculturists
viii be entertained and Instructed
during the entire week, and will &C
home with new information and IN
spiration. s... .-.-
Unusual Entertainment. 4
As in all live schools, amusement
have q big share in the Minnesota
State Fairs success. Contracts ere
being made for the greatest list o.
entertainment features ever seen al

geration, it can be said that the fair
goer this year will get Eve times the
amount of amusement for the money
that he can get anywhere else. Some
