Fair Grounds Soon To Be The
Scene of Great
Activity.
THREE DAYS OF ENJOY
MENT AND EDUCATION.
One Hundred Boys Coming to Corn
Contest.-Baseball Game
Last Day.

Plans for the County Fair are
nearing completion and in very few
days the fair grounds will present a
scene of varied activity. The fair
association has received assurance
from many sources of parties who
will be here and enter into various
contests.
Lee Date Cancelled.
The first day will be devoted main
ly to the arranging of exhibits and
all who are planning to exhibit
should be on hand that day.
The address by VIM. E. Lee which
has been widely advertised and
should have been given the first day
has been cancelled. He was unable
to come the 14th and satisfactory
arrangements could not be made for
the other two days. We regret that
this event will have to be stricken
off the program, but considering that
no considerable crowd could be as
sembled the initial day conditions
are more satisfactory the way they
stand at present.
Hill to Speak the 18th.
Definite word has been received
from j. J. Hill and he statees that
he will be here on Tuesday afternoon
Mr. Hill has spoken at large num-
ber of county fairs this year, he
comes here with message especial
ly to the farming population. Come

Heine to Fly Cross Country.
MT. Heine, the aviator viii display
some sensational feats of air naviga-
ton. On the closing day he proposes
to journey by bird air line to Park
Rapids, Mimi, distance of 146
miles. If weather conditions are
favorable he will set out from the
fair grounds at o'clock and fly
cross country; will be an important
feat and one well worth witnessing.
Interest in Corn Contest.
One hundred boys from all sections
of the county are coming to exhibit
the products of their one acre plot
of corn. The boys are manifesting
great enthusiasm over this contest
and will no doubt make things quite
interesting. Each boy is supposed
to bring from his acre ten ears of
corn which will be placed upon ex-
hibit in special booth. This is the
first year the boys are brought to-
gether for this purpose and ought to
attract considerable attention.
Warren and Stephen Cross Bats.
On the afternoon of the 18th the
Warren and Stephen baseball teams
will cross bats. These teams played
a close game at the race meet, the
4th of July and Stephen nosed out a
victory. Now the Warren boys in-
tend to turn the tables, and no doubt
it will be fast game. Rushing and
Walker will constitute the battery
for Stephen and Menzel and Krum-
holz for Warren.

Contest will be conducted a spelling
contest. Each district may select two
