Beg pardon. but il does make a
difference politically. As 10 being
opposed 20 crooked methods in
making nominations. lets see about
that. II is said that a dweller In

repeatedly printed the charge that

ANNUAL Meeting OF
FAIR ASSOCIATION
ATTENDANCE OF STOCKHOLM
HOLDERS, FRIDAY SHOWS.
INCREASED INTEREST
1915 SHOW nets ABOUT $4OO
OLD OFFICERS UNANIMOUSLY
-ELECTED-NEW IDEAS
FOR 1916 EXHIBITION

The Stearns County Fair will be
well differed for another year at any
rate. et.-
This was made certain when, at the
urgent demand of practically every
shareholder in the Agricultural socie-
ty, G. Hillerud and A. F. Strebel very
reluctantly agreed to serve as presi-
dent and secretary respectively, one
more year. -'.,.
The annual meeting of the society
held at the Sank Centre Commercial
Club rooms Friday evening of last
week was fairly well attended. The
report of Secretary Strebel showed
that the 1916 fair will have net
gain over expenses of about $500.
Nearly 5000 of this amount, however,
went into improvements at the
grounds. This is by far the very best
showing ever made by the organize
ton. However, until the state appro-
priation is received about Dec. Goth,
it will be impossible to state the exact
amount cleared by the fair, as the
appropriation varies slightly each
year.
On motion the president was di-
rected to appoint an auditing COM
mittee of three to check up the books
of the secretary and treasurer.
w. B. Graham Of Freeport suggest
ed that the association encourage ag-
ricultural entries by the townships of
the counties. The plan appealed to
the association, and the idea will be
encouraged and developed as rapidly
as possible. The rivalry between the
various county exhibits at the state
fair has been of great value to the
fair as well as the development of the
state. The Stearns County fair will
give the township exhibit idea every
encouragement possible and a definite
plan will be worked out before the
next premium list is published.
The report of the secretary dis
closed the fact that there were 1892
entries in the agricultural, live stock,
poultry, and domestic arts depart
ments of last year. The rural and
high school exhibits were not entered
through the secretary's office.
The association extended O. e. Glib
son vote of thanks for the splendid
results accomplished in the interior de-
coration of the agricultural building.
Plans were discussed for next
years fair, and among other things
it was decided that the erection of q
suitable barn for the housing of show
horses was an absolute necessity. j.
B. Schoenhoff reported that VIM. Lar
son had indicated desire to erect a

VIGOROUSLY BoMBARD DECOYs


In the cold gray, accent on the
cold, of last Saturday morning, Fred
OVERLY and w. F. Brown, putting
their freshly painted decoys in their
car, journeyed to Mccormick lake,
with fond hopes of returning later
loaded down with fat mallards. They
located their decoys on the lake in a
manner so skillful that they would
deceive the wisest old drake that ever
ran a harem in the arctic circle and
concealing themselves in under a
blind awaited the Northern flight that
failed to fly. p. 2 49,
A party of near-sports from Mel
rose approached anon, and seeing the
flock of fat ducks as they supposed
feeding in the lake opened their ar
tillery on them. After the second
round, as no ducks keeled over or took
wing, they discovered their mistake
and faded. Messrs, Brown and Over
by made a careful examination of
their decoys after the bombardment
and, as they found no shot marks on
the same, concluded that the shootists
were only a bunch of amateurs and
not the regular Melrose nimrods.
