deck all the time ready and willing
TO lend helping hand wherever he
could render assistance.
The Milaca school exhibit in Agri-
cultural Hall attracted a great deal
OF attention. Fuller mention of it
is made elsewhere.
The band boys, under the leader
ship of their able instructor Prof.
Helnzemann, covered themselves
With glory. They presented a neat
appearance in their new, trim white
uniforms and discoursed excellent
music. all three days. Many and
lavish we're the compliments be-
slowed on the band. Mr.. James J.
Hill showed his appreciation of the
ooys' efforts in a substantial manner,
besides he complimented them in
the highest terms. President Fur
long was also loud in his praises of
the boys and informed the writer
that "Princeton certainly has reason
to feel proud of it's band.'' We are
proud of our band. The boys richly
merited all the compliments be-
slowed upon them, and they are en-
| Titled to and should receive substan-
tlal encouragement from our citizens.
Banker A. H. Turrittin and James
r. Browne were. over from Sank
Rapids on Friday. Mr.. Turrittin is
treasurer of the State Agricultural
society, cashier of the Benton County
State bank and president of the Rice
State bank, he is also secretary of
the Benton County Agricultural
society, which will hold it's first fair
at the Rapids the last three days
|of this week. Mr.. Turrittin is a
live business man and most COM
panionable fellow. Mr.. Browne is
editor and publisher of the Sentinel,
one of the oldest-and until recently
one of the deadest-newspap of
the tate. Mr.. Browne has Injected
new life into the Sentinel and it is
now very much alive. Both gentle
men expressed themselves as highly
pleased with our grounds, buildings
and the exhibits.
That sturdy old veteran. Hon.
H. e. Craig of Orrock, was on the
grounds bright and early Friday
morning. Mr.. Craig was an at
tentive listener in the grand stand
to the talks delivered by Messrs.
Hill, Furlong and Crane MIR. Craig
always meets host of friends at the
Mile Laos County fair and he hardly
ever misses one of our fairs.
1t was a mistake to separate the
agricultural exhibits. There would
have been room enough in the Agri-
cultural Hall for the township ex-
hibits and the stuff could have been
displayed to much better advantage.
Next year two wings Of the Agricu]-
tural Hall should be devoted to the
township exhibits.
There was goodly attendance
from Cambridge, and Princeton
people should reciprocate by attend
ing the Cambridge fair in force this
week. Let's be neighborly. Besides
the fair at Cambridge will be good
one.
Nearly 100 automobile loads of
Cambridge and Isanti people came
over to hear Jas. J. Hill and see the
ball game. ~
Mrs. Chas. Foltz, a graduate of
Princeton high school last year,
carried off most of the premiums for
cooking and the first prize for dairy
butter.
Harry Mott conducted large eat
ing booth on the grounds and catered
to the hungry multitude, and Hof-
f1ander Bros. Thos. Scheen and H.
Thoma operated refreshment stands.
The -go-round was, as usual
on hand and thousands Of children
and many grown-ups patronized it
while the mechanical organ pulled
off ''Annie Rooney" ''Grandfather'
| Clock' and other classical selections
There were also number of other
amusement features, but no gam
bling devices of any kind were per-
| rnitted On the grounds.
There was not a scintilla of foun-
dation for the statement that Cover
nor Eberhart had been sighted by
the fair management, as the letters
published elsewhere in this issue
conclusively prove. It is strange,
passing strange, that a business man
of Princeton should resort to de-
liberate misrepresentation-willful
falsehood-in his futile efforts to in
jure the fair.
Already Governor Eberhart has
promised to speak at the Mile Laos
County fair next year. The COVER
nor is in demand at county fairs,
