THE STEARNS COUNTY FAIR.

The Stearns county fair will be held
three weeks earlier than usual this
year and it will be well for the peo-
pie to bear this fact in mind and make
their preparations accordingly.
The management have spared no
pains or expense to make this the
best and biggest Fair ever held by
the Association.
The premium list is especially lib
eral, eevry branch of agriculture is
provided for and every department
should be filled with exhibits.
The Amusement program is unus-
ually full and complete and there will
be something doing every minute.
The racing card is one of the best
ever prepared for this Fair. A num-
Der of new horses that have never ap-
peared here before will be entered and
every race will be for blood.
Food conservation is the great ques-
ton of the hour. Much speculation is
being INDUCED in as to the extent OF
the national supply, and the posi-
bility of future production.
The farmers of Sank Valley owe it
to themselves to show to the thous-
ands that will throng the Fair, that
this region has utilized its productive
CAPACITY to it's fullest extent and has
"come across" with it's full share OF
world sustenance and that tits cap
able of doing still better work in this
line in the future.
Not only as matter of local pride
and mutual benefit but as patriotic
duty it behooves every citizen OF
Stearns county to put forth extraord-
mary exertions to make the Fair a
! success this year.

UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS AND
SAILORS.

While we all sympathize with the
sacrifices and hardships endured by
"our boys" who are called to war
duty, we are conlforted by the fact
THAI they are the '.s. paid, the best
fed, the best clothed and the best
provided for of any army in the world.
The best English private gets II
cents day, the French two cents,
the Russians about the same, when
he gets it, md the German and
Austrian from six to ten cents.
The opportunities for the American
soldier and sailor for promotion and
advancement is infinitely better than
that of any ether. Much has. been
said about political pull in the mat
ter of promotions and it does exist,
but it is nothing as compared to the
"aristocracy pulp existing in other
armies and navies.
The American private soldier and
sailor gets over dollar a day and
20 per cent increase when on foreign
service.
If he so desires he can put aside at
least $500 a month, which is as
much as the average laboring man
can save after paying for his subsis-
tence. 81
Provision is being made for supply
ing every American soldier anC
sailor with life and accident insur-
ance.
Soldiers of every other country
must give their service while serving.
The American soldier receives fair
CONDENSATION,

promptly squelch these un-American
assemblages and put the insitgators
under arrest and if they fail to per-
form their duty, loyal citizens should
disperse them by force as they did the
"Knights of the Golden Circle" dur
ing the civil war. Every meeting OF
this kind and character will cost the
lives of American soldiers on the
fighting front. Home enemies are en-
titled to less respect and less kindly
treatment than 10. eign ones.

The Difference.

Similar.
A merchant who does not advertise
and a young fellow who is in love

similar. Neither get the results they
desire.
Remember.
When a public official, either cleo

deserve to hold it.
Real Fun.
The only real fun we have in this
