agents, peddlers and various other schemes

It is only a short time now until the
Redwood County Fair takes place. What
are your plans for making the fair this
year Bigger and Better? United effort
and cordial cooperation will make this
event The Big Fair of the entire lifetime
of the Association, but if you are not will

someone who does so will.
Frank Kellogg has gone to Boston
for a vacation at the seashore. Would
not it be great if he were sent there
permanently by the common people
of Minnesota next November ?-Chas-

It would be great if that happened to
