Come out and hear him. Our con-
gressman, Hon. A. j. Volstead, will
be here Saturday and will make a talk

sentative in Congress has on his mind
to tell the people at this time.

The baby show will be a great sue
cess. No less than thirty youngsters
have been entered and will be scored
by physicians. If the weather proves
too cool for the show at the auditor
ium two large rooms in the Caretaker
Otos' residence will be used for this
interesting department.
Friday will be Willmar Day, when
the stores are expected to close from
one to five o'clock, in order to per-
NIT the employees to- spend an after
noon at the fair and see the races. A
special freak auto race is being ar
ranged for this day. In addition to the
Willmar Band, Raymond Band will be
on hand to help the festive spirit of
the day with concerts and q large con-
t1ngent OF Raymond people will make
T.
The soaking rains of Sunday and
Monday, made it necessary to keep
horses and vehicles off the race track
today, but it is drying nicely and is
expected to be In fine condition to-
morrow.
The judging of stock and products
will be done by a corps of experts
from the State Agricultural Depart
ments. Prof. Kalash will Judge the
cattle Thursday beginning at 9:3O o.
clock. Prof. Montgomery will Judge
the horses on Friday beginning at
$3.50. Mr.. Balmer will judge the pro-
duce; F. o. Johnson of the Dairy De-
partment will judge the butter; Mr..
Haroldson will again Judge the fruit
and Mr.. Lane the poultry.
From all reports and the manner in
which stock and produce are coming
in this morning, we feel warranted in
saying without the least exaggera-
tion that our county will make the
biggest showing in it's history. Every
loyal Kandiyohian will be on hand to
inspect them.
The preliminary arrangements for
the county fair were better along at
the opening Of the first day than u.s.
ual. The grounds are ablaze with
colors. The cattle tent is as large as
circus tent, and it will need to be.
The large horse barn will prove too
small for demands upon it. The poul-
try tent is larger than last year. The
big auditorium is a great sight, one
that is not duplicated in any county
fair in Minnesota.
Among the paid shows on the
grounds is a trained lion show. Ray
Sellers, professionally known as
"Scott" gives performances in den
with four African lions. OF these
there is one old lioness which was
brought from the jungle by Hagen
beck and was trained by Ricardo,
father Of Scott. The lions do various
stunts like jumping through hoops,
etc. One drinks from a bottle, some
thing the keeper is never guilty Of.
There is black tent showing the lat
est in moving pictures, run by the
movie" theatres of Willmar. Anoth-
er big show Is expected this afternoon
which has been playing another fair
the first days of week. There is a
wrestling bear who is looking for
someone to tackle, and cub bear who
is the delight of the children.
You may eat on the grounds. Din
ner Is served at the eating pavilion
from 1880 to 200 o'clock at 25c; sup
per from 500 to 700 at Csc; and
