cash donation each year to keep the fair on
its feet, but the only cash contribution made
by the Sank Centre business men is the pur-
chase Of space in the fair premium list.
The Agricultural Society has been very
fortunate in the selection of it's officers and
directors. The only difficulty has been in re-
tanning them. But changes have been made
almost each year, without apparent detri-
ment to the success of the fair The old Of
ficers working just as hard for the success
of the fair as they did when leading. Their
advice and hearty cooperation makes the
work OF their successors much easier
That the 1915 fair was the largest in the
history OF the organization was to be expect
ed. The farmers are realizing more and
more each year that the fair is for their ed
ucatlon, amusement and benefit, and they
are entering more and better stuff each wear
IN the various departments. This year there
were over 80 head of cattle in the live stock
building. This condition will undoubtedly
mean the elimination of all grade stock from
premium competition in the years to come.
Stearns county is going more and more into
registered full bloods each year and the Fair
Associatiin will encourage them in every DOS
sible manner.

The cosy club rooms are placed at the dis
posal of farmers gatherings, the ladies'
clubs, the schools, and other societies which
may desire to use them. Once or twice
year a social function is arranged for the
members and their ladies. In June of this
year the members of the Progressive Farm
ers' CLUB south of the city were informally
entertained, the object being to bring the
farmer and townsfolk in closer relation with
each other.
The Agricultural Society of Stearns Coun-
ty is supported very Loyalty by the CONNER
cial Club, and no little of the splendid sue
cess of the fair is directly traceable to the
boosting and cooperation of the CONNER
cial Club.
One of the Clubs greatest achievements
was in boosting for the erection of the
Caughren theatre by Manager A. E. Dubeau,
which is the pride of the entire city.
