SCHROEDER FAYORS
LONGER COUNTY FAIR.
Agricultural Society Secretary Says
Three Day Exposition Does Not
Prove Sufficient Period.
SIMPLY TIME FOR JUDGING NOW
]. c. Simpson of State Fair Also In
Harmony With Move to Lengthen
Week Session to Ten Days.

Charles Schroeder, secretary of the
Beltrami County Agricultural So
ciety, who so successfully supervised
the fair which was staged here last
week, favors the extending of the fair
period from three to at least four and
possibly five days. Mr.. Schroeder ar
CUES that with the three-day exposi-
ton as is now the case that there is no
more than time to arrange the ex-
hibits, complete judging and allow a
short time for public inspection.
With a heightened fair period ex-
hibitors will not remove their pro-
ducts from the display hall immedi-
ately following the judges inspec-
ton and fair visitors will be allowed
ample opportunity to view all arti-
cles, vegetables and agricultural pro-
duce entered.
Have to Hurry. a
The Beltrami county fair is grow
ing in such proportions that it is
almost impossible for visitors to see
everything.
"Under the new plan, which is
almost sure to be accepted by the
society officers says the hustling
fair secretary, 1--WE will still be able
to greatly improve our county fair:
A longer. fair period will give the
judges more time, the exhibitors
more time and the public better op-
portunity to see just what the coun-
ty farmers are doing in the way Of
agriculture. Our fair is one Of the
best in the state, but there is room
for improvement and we are going to
take advantage of every opening to
make it more interesting and worthy
of representing the county of Bel
trami"
A Ten Day Fair.
John G. Simpson, secretary of the
Minnesota state fair, declares that
he is .unquivocally in favor of holding
"a ten-day fair instead of weeks and
in recent interview said: :s -s-.ses
(: "There are some details that would
.require considerable labor in work.
ing out, should the board Of fair man
Pagers decide to extend the fair to
ten days." said Mr.. Simpson. "How-
ever, I am of the opinion that all ne
cessary arrangements, such as per-
haps arranging some plan for work
ing in harmony with the other state
fairs in regard to getting the live
stock exhibit heightened out some,
could be arranged.
Betting $250,000.
II believe that matter will be
taken up at the next meeting of the
board of fair managers. The idea
seems to meet with the approval of
many people throughout the state.
Under the six-day plan of exposition
the state is betting s25O,0O0 against
the weather. Rain on one or two
days is extremely liable to cause an
alarming deficit. If the fair were
extended to ten days the gamble
against the weather conditions would
be decreased appreciably."

night attacks, delivered with des-

night, failed to break through the
French centre. Beyond the bare an
nouncements that the attacks had
been repulsed along their entire line,
no particulars were given out. This
attack, coupled with usual activity

MAY ANNOUNCE REFUSAL
Of LICENSES OCTOBER 81
Excise Board Hopes to Finish Hear
ings on Applicants Tonight-Pro-
test by Churchmen.

Two weeks from today probably will
be the date on which the excise board
will announce the names of rejected
iQuor license applicants.
Every effort has been made by the
excise officials to conclude the hear
ings on applications in time to give
those who are to be forced out of busi-
ness opportunity to wind up their af-
fairs before the beginning of the
license year. November l. Indications
today, however, held out little hope of
the board finishing it's work before
Saturday. October 81.
1t is expected that the board will
give first consideration to cases where
more than three saloons have applied
Tor license to operate on the saT1e side
OF a block, the law providing this as a
maximum number, and also stipulatiug g
that there shall not be more Than four
saloons on both sides OF any street be-
tween intersecting streets.
In this class of cases particularly, ap-
pIicants are in the dark as to what
may be the outcome, and A. Il. Shoe
maker. attorney for the Anti-Saloon
League. will ask that thev De oisposeo
of first.
Some in Prohibited Zones.
It is pointed out that the inability OF
the board to announce its decisions be-
fore the end of the month will not Sc
riously affect many applicants who al
ready know that the places which they
have asked to have licensed are in pro-
hfbited zones specifically enumerated
and outlined in the JonesW Works law.
With seventy-two cases to be heart
before it can dispose of the docket o
hearings on the 400 retail application:
ia
this morning and probably will hold {
session tonight. 1t hopes to be in {
position to begin consideration O.
wholesale cases Monday.
One Of the first cases called. this morn
ing was that of Herman Fischer, wht
has applied for a license at 1906 Penn
syivania avenue southeast Many resi-
cents of Rardle Highlands ard TwininE
City appeared to protest against favor

suburban sections. He stated that the
police records show that Fischer's place
has not been properly conducted. Attor-
ney Alexander H. Bell appeared for the
applicant. while the protestants were
represented by Attorney Shoemaker for
the Anti-Sa loon League.
