y
ness for the big annual event at the
Brown County Fair Grounds; the stage
is set, the properties all in place and a
bright, sunshiny day is ready for the
enjoyment of those who come afoot and
horseback, by car and by train from all
over this section, to meet their old time
friends and see what each has brought
to the fair to show the bounty of Nature
when persuaded by the efforts of Man
to yield up her harvest of fruit, flowers
and grains.
EARLY in the morning yesterday every
parking space along Minnesota and adj
joining side streets was filled with cars
whose owners wanted to do little
shopping before going out to the Grounds
for the afternoons amusement and the
number steadily increased till it looked
like Circus Day.
Exhibits Are Fine.
There was time for only very brief
glimpse at the exhibits before the time
Of going to press and fer that reason no
special mention can be made of any
particular ones but it is safe to say that
never before have tie exhib is appeared
more attractive than this year. In the
fancy work department where there has
always been a great deal of crowding
because Of a lack OF room, the exhibits
appear to better advantage this year as
there are fewer of them. The ladies'
have been busy at other more important
duties this summer and for that reason
fewer have. prepared anything for the
fair. However there have never been.
more beautiful exhibits than are shown,
and the work is exquisite.
The New Ulm and Dill Greenhouses
have their usual beautiful displays.
Schells have varied their set piece by
making up the Stars and Stripes in fresh
flowers and very handsome it is. CASTER
has very fine display of colored art
photography. Crones, the Bee Hive and
Metzinger have large booths very at
tractively arranged to display their new
fall styles. FL. O. Schleuder is new
exhibitor this year, or at least his exhibit
is different. He is showing his lens
grinding work.
The Sleepy Eye schools have canning
department with number of pupils in
charge. Very neat and housewifely the
young girls look. The New Ulm schools
are showing their work in manual train
ing and domestic science. Both exhibits
are very good and particularly interesting
to the mothers and fathers of the school
age girls and boys.
Has Red Cross Booth.
The first booths is occupied by the
Red Cross workers and they are showing
their work. Two young ladies in Red
Cross Nurse uniforms are in attendance
and give the place very real look. Red
Cross buttons are being sold. The first
to get one was Stephen Walters, a.
veteran of the civil way who says that
he wants to help the boys who must go
to war as he once did: He was member
of Co. p. LIST MINI. Cavalry and later Of
Co. 3, End MIMI
The Retzlaff and Stolz hardware stores
have their exhibits of stoves and other
kitchen furnishings at which the house
wives gaze with covetous eyes. E. II.
Haeberle is exhibiting the work of his
Pressure Cooker outfit and there are a
large number Of other canned and pre-
served goods on display.
In the Poultry department there are
more entries than ever before, being over
100 including the pet entries. The usual
cattle and horse exhibits are shown but
the sheep ard hog. entries are as usual
few in number.
The vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains
show that Nature has given bountiful
harvest of very fine products.
