BIG ATTRACTION FOR FAIR.

1t is currently reported that there
are about 500 German Reservists in
Stearns county that have been called
| to the colors and are anxious to re-
turn and fight for the Fatherland.
There are about the same number of
Resevists of the nations opposed to
Germany that are in the same condi-
ton.
Now the Herald's scheme is this !;
let us have a Scrap Day at the
Stearns County Fair and let them
fight it out here. Capt. Dahlem, OF
Sank Centre, in charge of the German
hosts, and Capt. DR.. Kirghis, of ST..
Cloud, the ants. They can trim each
other as well here as they can IN
Europe, they would save their respec-
tive countries the cost of their trans
portation and incidentally the scrap
would prove great attraction for the
fair.
