STEELE COUNTY FAIR

July 4, 1918, has been designat-
ed by President Woodrow Wilson
as Liberty Day, to be observed in
a fitting manner by all true
Americans both native and for
eign born.
The directors of the Steele
County Fair Association have de-
cided to put on a patriotic pro-
gram for the second day of the
Fair, July 4th, to conform to the
wishes Of President Wilson and
hope that every citizen of Steele
county will be with us on that
day to pay tribute to the boys of
long ago and the boys of today,
who have been and are fighting,
giving heed to the president s APP
peal to the native Americans to
unite. with the foreign born to
make Independence Day this year
the most significant in our coun-
try's history.
We are putting on Il program
this year that will be pleasing to
you all. Prominent speakers will
be here on both days. The Blab-
on Star Band has been secured
for both days which insures us
plenty Of good music. A good
program Of sports will be put on,
such as base ball games, indoor
base ball and races. A large
bowery will be erected on the
fair grounds and the Binford five
piece orchestra has been engaged
for both nights. This orchestra
has a great reputation for fur
nishing good music and will give
the young people their moneys
worth.
There will be plenty Of good
displays in all departments this
year, as everyone is more inter-
csted in the fair than in former
years. This is as it should be,
and the union Of all the people
in the county, working for a bet
ter and bigger fair we will in a
few years have a County Fair
that will be credit to our
county.
We again make an appeal to
all residents Of Steele county to
be with us on both days of the
Fair to help us make the Steele
County Fair a bigger and better
fair.

Secretary.

Will Use Money to Make Improve
ments and Pay Church Debt

The Board of Stewards of the
Methodist Church, South, at a recent
meeting, decided to raise fund of
81 900, by means of War Savings
Stamps, to be spent on the church.
However, the proposition must be
voted on by the church and will be, in
the near future.
The plan of the board is for the
members of the church to invest about
$1,000 in War Savings Stamps and al
low local financial institutions to take
the stamps off of the hands of the
church until they have reached their
maturity value.
A large part of the fund will be used
in decorating and making other re-
pairs about the church. The auditorl'
nm will be retinted. The remainder
Of the fund will then be used to pay
off the church debt.
The plan, outlined by the Rev. u y
Grimes, Sunday, was received with
enthusiasm and definite action Will
be taken within the next two weeks.
