At the meeting of the members of
the Agricultural Society of Stearns
County held at the Commercial Club
rooms last evening plans were out
lined which will make the coming fair
the biggest and best yet.
The committee reported net bal
ance left over from the Short Course
of $47.30. This money was turned
over to the Fair Association and will
be maintained by the treasurer in a
separate fund, and will be used only
for similar enterprise another year.
Secretary Aygarn reported the work
accomplished at the recent gathering
of representatives from six Of the
counties in this section held at Glen
wood. At this meeting the fair dates
were definitely settled, as follows:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, Sept. Ia, 15, 16 and II. The
Stearns County Fair will open the
circuit and all attractions booked will
appear at Sank Centre first.
Secretary Aygarn and President
McGibbon have booked three very
high grade entertainment features
Cor this years fairs. They are Webb's
Trained Seals, Laonion and Malcolm,
a comedy horizontal bar act, and the
Mernard's, sisters, in sensational
roller skating feature. Because of the
booking of these attractions for all
six of the fairs it was possible to SCI
cure them for just half what it would
cost to bosk them for this fair alone.
The association ratified the action OF
the officers in this matter.
Another feature that is bound to be
a strong attraction if it can be ar
ranged, is that of having a car OF
prize cattle from the State Expert
ment Station on exhibition under the
supervision of H. r. Smith the live
stock expert of the state school, and
who will give lecture to the farmers
every morning of the fair. The de-
tails of this feature are not complete
but it is quite certain that it will be
secured.
A plan is also under way to have
the State Experiment School supply
competent judges for live stock at all
Of the fairs in the circuit.
Mrs. E. ]. Lewis, superintendent OF
the Ladies Department, submitted her
report of the last fair and made sever
Il valuable suggestions regarding this
department in the future. Mrs. Lewis
and her assistants have thoroughly
revised that portion of the premium
list relative to this department, and
the board of directors will carry them
out as far as funds will permit. A
vote of thanks was extended Mrs.
Lewis and her assistants for the very
efficient service rendered at the last
fair.
The following committees were APP
pointed:
Advertising y. A. Schoenhoff. s. T.
Merryman and G. Hillerud.
Financed. B. Canghren, F. w.
Sprague and L. L. Kells.
Il was voted to make the prices Of
season tickets and general admission
the same as last year, and a commit
tee of five was appointed to consider
the advisability of giving away ser
les of practical prizes to stimulate the
sale of tickets for the coming fair.
The committee consists of the Pres
ident McGibbon, Secretary Aygarn,
Geo. Fish, DR.. H. L. Lamb and ]. B.
Schoenhoff. They will report their
conclusions at the next meeting of the
association.
DIR. Lamb made the suggestion that
the finance committee be instructed
to prepare budget for each depart
ment of the fair for the coming year
and to report their estimates at the
next meeting, and the committee were
instructed to comply with the doctors
suggestion.
It was voted to change the meeting
night from Wednesday to Monday ev-
enings and the association will hold
meetings every two weeks hereafter
commencing on Monday evening,
March I'd.
