any previous fair held in Bemidji.
1t is to be an educational exposl-
ton and one which promises to sur
pass all previous records.
The stock judging, in which the
public has taken little interest in
the past, is to be made a feature
and if carried out as planned by Sec
retary C. F. Schroeder will prove a
big drawing card from more angles
than one.
The stock, so far as possible, will
be taken in front of the grandstand
in full view of the spectators, where
the judges will conduct their work
and place the blue, red and white
ribbons on the respective winners.
This will give the attending public
an opportunity to openly place their
stamp of approval on the markings
made by the judges.
