We have heard a number of per
sons express the hope that the
management of the stock show will
see their way clear to have only
two days of the show this year,
having those days full of the very
best of everything and push the
events along. In that way much
tirasome waiting may be avoided.
May we also offer suggestion from
farm paper: After the live stock
premiums are awarded bring the
best animals of each class into the
ring and have the judges point out
the why and wherefore of their
award, explaining why the first
prize is awarded to this animal and
the second to that, thereby helping
people to see and think, then to
think STRAIGHT and do better. x

COUNTY FAIR AT LITTLE FALLS
MANAGEMENT URGES YOU TO
TAKE INTEREST IN YOUR AG-
RICULTURAI. SOCIETY

The Morrison County Agricultural
Cooperative society has made splendid
progress. In 1911 we had no Fair So
ciety worthy the name; We had no
grounds, no property and no reputation.
in 1914 we have separate grounds Of ten
acres, on which fences, buildings and
etalls and other Improvements have
been placed at an expense of over five
thousand dollars. A splendid founda-
tion has been laid for permanent Ag-
ricultural society that will be Of i'm
mense benefit to the people of this
county.
This year the society is Offering ff~
teen hundred dollars in premiums and
one of the best fairs held in this part
of the state is contemplated. It VII; lie
held at Little Falls, September .23-24-25
and 26. The 23d is for entries only.
No admission will be charged on that
LAY and nothing will be done except
receiving, registering and placing ex-
hibits. All exhibits must be entered on
this day between 9 o'clock in the morn
ing and 8 O'Clock in the evening. Judg-
ing will begin promptly at 9 o'clock On
the Oath and will continue until all
articles competing for premiums nave
Oeen JuuSeu.
As the result of three years Of ef-
ficient management the society is in
better shape to take care oe exhibits,
pay premiums and furnish amusements
than ever before. The ground has a
high board fence on all sides, public
streets on three sides and the railroad
track on the other. During the past
summer splendid grandstand has
been built with a seating capacity Of
one thousand and a new Children g
School building is just finished. The
Agricultural building is undergoing
considerable improvement and all ex-
hibits in agriculture, horticulture and
Horticulture will be placed in said
buildings. The live stock and poultry
will be housed in good sheds. Women g
work will be placed in separate
building. BY reason Of the construc-

tion Of the children's building
and the improvement in the
Agricultural building the congestion
experienced last year by reason of
lack Of room will be removed. There
will be ample room for all exhibits and
they will be placed in such way as
to show off to good advantage. There
is good well water on the grounds.
Electric lights will be furnished in
abundance. If any exhibitor would
like to remain on the grounds during
the whole three or four days of the
fair for the purpose of taking care Of
his stock he may do so without any
extra charge. Farmers may take their
automobiles or teams on the grounds
and leave them at the east end thereof
without any extra charge, but the man
agement does not care to be responsible
for such teams or autos. The grounds
will be properly policed and persons
and property will be protected at all
times.
While the management has taken ali
reasonable precautions to protect per-
sons and property and has done all in
its power to induce people Of this coun-
! ty to bring exhibits, the amusement
features of the fair have not been neg.
lected. Three excellent vaudeville
troupes have been booked for free at
fractions. The Little Falls band Of
sixteen pieces will furnish the music. A
lmerry-go-round and other amusements
will be on hand and it is possible that
fire works displays will, be given in the
evenings The programs will be given
each day in the afternoon and evening.

as follows:
General admission 25 cents.
Exhibitors tickets so cents.
Children's tickets 10 cents, on Fri
day cents.
The management has spent as above
stated over five thousand dollars IN
fitting up these grounds for fair pur-
poses and all we ask of the people Of
the county is enthusiastic support with
exhibits and general patronage. This
Agricultural society will grow and pros
per just in proportion to the support
it receives from the people Of Morrison
county. If you want it and believe 1t
will be of benefit in encouraging scien-
tifc agriculture and promoting thrift
and industry of every kind, support
the society by your exhibits and pres
ence at its annual exhibition. Any
person who is contemplating entering
articles for exhibition at the coming
fair and who has not yet received the
premium list should write to the fair
society at Little Falls at once and ask
for copy thereof.
A great man once said: "Fairs and
expositions are the timekeepers which
mark the progress of states and ma
tions. They record the worlds ad-
vancement; they stimulate the energy,
enterprise and intellect of people;
quicken human genius; they open
mighty storehouses of information TO
