Almost all of the railroads of Nor

On account of these utilities being

County Fairs to
Receive 100000
Finance Committee of House Recon-.
mends Appropriation Shall Not
Be Decreased

C. A. Luscher went to ST. Paul
last Tuesday to represent the Red
wood County Agricultural Society in
the delegation which appeared before
the finance committee of the Senate
regarding the proposed cutting down
of the funds appropriated for the
maintenance of county fairs.
The committee had already decided
to cut the appropriation from $780,
900 to $85,00O, the recommendation
to this end having won by just one
vote. However, after meeting with
the delegation of which Mr.. Luscher
was member, and which represented
the Federation of County Fairs, and
understanding fully the need CT the
funds, the senate committee recon-
mended that the matter be taken be-
fore the finance committee of the
House. This later committee prom
ised to introduce a bill recommend
ing that 100000 be set aside for the
use of the county fairs of the state
Mr.. Sanger, President of the Win
dom Fair Association, and Mr.. Fur
long, former State Fair president
were members of the Federated Coun-
ty Fairs delegation. Sen. l.. E.. Pot
tr and Representatives Hauser anc
Bendixen are all aiding the obtain
ing of as large a sum as possible
for the county fair work.
This amount which is to be devoted
to the fairs is used for premiums
only, and thereby finds its way di-
rectly into the farming and stock.
raising communities.
The fairs are justified in asking
for an increase over the usual appro
priation as the number of county
fairs has been increased by nearly
twenty. However, this year the sun
will be used for fair premiums only
all other associations being barred
from the use of it.

From The Farmer
To The Consumer
ByaaParceIs Post
Uncle Sam Will Act as Salesman FOr
Farmers Having Products
For Sale

Ask The Rural Carriers to Give You
Blanks Upon Which to List
Your Products

A new feature of the parcels post
convenience has just been introduced
which will undoubtedly prove OF
great value to the farmer. The
producer of food stuffs has realized
little of the Importance and convent
ence of the parcel post service as
compared to what is believed the next
few years will develop.
The latest move on the part OF
Uncle Sam is to inaugurate a farm
to table by parcel post" service, Farm
ers have the products and there are
those in the larger cities who are IN
the market for them. The objective
point thus far has been a means OF
bringing the producer and the con-
sumer in touch with each other. And
this is what Uncle Sam has taken upon
himself. to do.
Fill in The Blank
Blanks have been provided upon
which the producer may list what ar
ticles he has for sale, the quantity
he can supply each week, and whethe1
he is able to fill and deliver orders
promptly. These blanks when prop
serly filled in and signed will be sent
to the producers nearest large city
in our case Minneapolis. Here they
will find a list of consumers who Will
communicate with the sender for
completion of arrangements.
Higher Market Prices
This service will be means OF oo'
tanning better price for products ane
will place it in the hands OF the con-
SINNER fresh from the farm.
No Delay Necessary
These products will be brought
in by the rural carriers or may DC
mailed at the post office at any time
before 700 p. m. At TOO a. m. these
same products are in the cities ready
for the consumers use.
The local postmaster will cooper
ate with the postmaster at Mtnneap
oils to make this service of unques
tionable value to the sender and /
is hoped that it may prove of grea
value TO the farmers of this vicinity.

the amount Of money brought into
the homes and business houses OF the

ents. The parents who have children

oftener than those whose children at
tend school elsewhere, the schools fur
nishing one of the most effective
means OF advertising that the town
can have. Anything which brings
people here either as residents or fo1
purposes of trade, is desirable ad-

The figures are self-explanatory anc
the reader is asked to remember that
the figures represent low average
of expenses and expenditures.
