nothing but bad weather during the

department, its predecessors and
other such expositons in the United

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, $4,000. These hber-

can learn the operation of the latest

amount of amusement for the money
that he can get anywhere else. Some

1t seems more than likely that
there will be no Blue Gras 8

barely been in existence for some
time owing to there being too
many small towns in to support a
team. However the final trouble
came last week when the National
Association returned the check for
dues to the president of the Blue

sign any where they desired. 1t
