Benson had made ample provisions
for caring for the crowd. There was
plenty of eating places, the churches
especially serving fine meals. Cots
from State Militia headquarters had
been placed in the courthouse, school
house and other places, and were not
all used by far. II anyone failed
to secure Accommodations it was be-
cause they did not call at the head
quarters to secure them.
The place for holding next years
exposition has not been determined
as yet It is understood that Monte
video, Ortonville, Glenwood and Will
mar people are looking forward, to
making bids for the Show. At the
Commercial Club meeting last night
the opinion seemed to prevail that
Willmar people should concentrate
their efforts next year towards put
ting the County Fair grounds in such
shape that the annual fair at Willmal
could be enlarged in scope, and the
Corn Show be taken on a following
year. However, there is plenty o1
time in which to discuss this matter
before the place is fixed.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
IN ANNUAL MEET
First Steps Taken to Have Ath'
|etic Field Graded at
Fair Park.

The annual meeting Of the Kandi-
yohi County Fair Association was held
yesterday afternoon. Jalmar Larson
Of Dovre, Robert Thompson of Will
mar township, and John Ahlstrom of
Spicer were elected members Of the
board Of managers for three years.
The general officers were reelected
for ensuing year, viz: V. E. Lawson,
president; Peter M. Burns, vice presi-
dent; w. o. Johnson, secretary; and
O. R. Berkness, treasurer. AS a board
Of audit were appointed G. J. Nelson,
H. H. Flygare and Herman Tallakson.
The committee on grounds, of which
Peter Bonde is chairman, was instruc-
ted to take the necessary levels on
the low ground within the race track
to ascertain the required amount Of
filling, and the board of managers
were given the necessary authority to
let contract for grading when the ne
cessary means have been secured. It
is suggested that stock from the treas
ury of the association be sold to per-
sons especially interested in perfect
ing an athletic field, the funds so re-
ceived to be used for this purpose.
With the active cooperation of citi-
zens interested in seeing creditable
permanent athletic field arranged for
at Willmar there will be possibility
Of pushing this improvement thru in
time for the 1915 season.
Action favoring the draining of the
Park avenue water thru pipes direct
to the lake on the street southwest of
the grounds was taken and the COM
mittee on grounds was asked to ap-
pear before the City Council in the
matter.
Mr.. Bonde reported that work was
being done on the grounds to save
the large trees from damage by pro-
viding frames of wood on the ground
about the trunks and mulching them
Owing to the natural mulching having
been removed when the grove was
cleared, several of, the big trees have
died. It is hoped to avert any further
damage along this line.
The financial reports of the associ.
alton were read and approved. H. H.
Flygare, Robert Thompson and V. E.
Lawson were elected delegates to the
annual meeting Of the state agricul
tural society in January. It was voted
that on the occasion of the next an
nual meeting Of the association a suit
able program be provided and a full
day session be held, with a dinner for
all stockholders who attend.

Gases In a siIo Dangerous.

Silos should be ventilated before be-
ing entered. The Journal of the Ameri-
ican Medical Association cites a
story of four men who were killed by
carbon dioxide after entering a silo at
the State Hospital, Athens, Ohio, last
September. The men entered by a
door well up on the side of the silo
and jumped down to the surface of the
silage six feet below. Two other men
who were about to enter the silo a
little later, discovered the four in an
unconscious state. Assistance was i'm.
mediately called and though physi-
clans were at hand when the men
were taken out, they could not be re,
suscitated. Accidents Of this sort are
infrequent, but men who work in silos
should; be careful to take no risks with
gases THAT may have accumulated
over night or during a considerable
period in which the silo has been
closed
