GROUNDS ARE READY
President BrysOn Has Grounds in
Readiness for Twenty-Fourth
Annual County Fair.
Indications are That all Previous
Records Will Be Shattered at
Big 1915 Exposition.

On Wednesday, September Is, the
Twenty Fourth Annual Fair of the
Mile Laos County Agricultural So
ciety will open. and practically
everything is in readiness to receive
the exhibits. The grounds are now
in the best Of condition as President
Bryson has personally superintendent
the work of placing them in readi-
ness. The grass has been cut, and
the buildings have been covered
with fresh coating of white wash.
The race track has also been i'm
proved.
All sections of Mile Laos county
will be represented by attractive
displays of. products of the farm and
home this year, and the residents of
adjoining towns of neighboring coun-
ties will also exhibit their best pro-
ducts. This feature of the fair will
undoubtedly be superior to last year,
which means considerable as the ex-
hibits at the 1914 fair were truly
excellent.
The opening day will be given
over to receiving and arranging ex-
hibits, but on Thursday the fair will
be ready to entertain visitors, and
an enormous throng of people will
undoubtedly congregate at the
grounds upon that day, as Hon.
Knute Nelson, Minnesota senior
senator, will then visit the fair, and
deliver an address. Senator Nelson
has many admirers in this section,
and will be accorded cordial
reception. Another distinguished
visitor will be at the fair on
Saturday, September IS, when
Governor WINFIELD Scott Hammond
will be a guest Of the society.
Governor Hammond will also speak,
and we have no doubt but what an
immense crowd will greet him.
The amuse ment program will be
replete with events that will delight
and entertain the multitude. The
airship flights by Frank Champion
will be the feature Of the program,
and the spectators will be afforded
an opportunity - witness an exhibit.
tion of flying that cannot fail to
thrill. AS usual the racing pro-
gram will be interesting, and some
exciting trials for speed will be
made. The ball games this year will
be of especial interest. On Thurs
day the speedy Princeton nine will
attempt to take the measure of the
Mora leaguers, and the contest
should be hummer. Long Siding
