that should interest every parent, is
especially for the little tots. Govern
ment charts will be there showing
what the normal weight, height, etc.,
Of a normal child should be at a given
age. Parents are urged to take ad-
vantage of this department and ascer-
tain whether their baby is what he
should be physically. Practical advice
will be given in assisting them in
bringing the child up to normal.
The ball games between Osakis
and Melrose on Thursday with Willard
playing the winners ON Friday, are
attracting wide attention. These
teams are very evenly matched, and
it is moral certainty that the man
ager of each team will bring the
strongest line-ups to thAse games ne
can muster, as well as a big bunch Of
rooters with plenty of kale to back
their favorites. .
The horse racing will be high class
and the free acts will be different.
Reports from superincendents of the
various departments indicate that
every building will be filed with
products of the home and farm.
Another very gratifying feature in
connection with, this years exposition
is the interest local business men are
taking in displaying their wares at
the fair.
The music will be furnished by the
Sank Centre, Metre Grove and Bel
grade bands.
There will be merry-go-round on
the grounds and the usual activities
on the streets in the evening. Each
night during the fair there will be
two big dances. One at the City Hall
with Billy's Jazz orchestra furnishing
the music. This organisation has made
a splendid reputation. for supplying
snappy dance music in all of the
nearby towns this season. The
Dreamland pavilion will be in full
swing at that time and the ever
popular RAIDER orchestra will furnish
the music for the dances at this
modern amusement palace.
Stacking will be out of the way,
threshing will be well in hand and
much of the fall blowing will be done.
A successful fair attracts many
strangers who arrive at their opinion
of any community by the exhibits of
the farm on display. The farmers of
this section will be helping them
selves materially by exhibiting at the
fair and cooperating in every way
to make it big success.
Remember the dates for the Stearns
County Fair are Sept. 9, 10, IL and
IL.

Coming Stearns County Fair
Will Haze Splendid Exhibits
and Amusement Attractions

AT meeting Of the directors and
superintendent OF the Stearns county
fair held at the Commercial Club
rooms Tuesday evening many of the
details for the coming fair were
cleaned up.
AS an additional feature to the
amusement program tire secretary
was instructed to book Mike and
Tommy Gibbons for an eight round
boxing contest-preferably for the
last day of the fair, Friday, Sept. II.
The manly art of self-defense has had
a great boom since Uncle Sam be-
came actively interested in the
recent worlds war. Mike Gibbons is
the champion middleweight boxer of
the United States and Tommy is not
far behind. This feature will prove
a very strong attraction, and it is ex-
pected that it can be looked without
serious difficulty.
1t was voted to admit all children
Of school age free on Wednesday,
Sept. 10. Friday, Sept. II, will be the
Homecoming day ana reunion for all
men in service. The race and amuse-
ment programs on both of these days
will be especially strong.
The prices of admission will remain
the same as last year, except that
the war tax will be added.
The exhibit by the Sank Centre
branch of the American Red Cross
will be of especial interest. This will
be located in the Domestic Art build
ing. A representative from the Home
Service department of the Northern
Division of the Req Cross will be in
attendance each of the three days
and if there is any returned soldier,
sailor or marine who is having trouble
getting his government allotments, or
if there is anything in connection with
his war service that he does not un-
dertsand he is urged to make use
of this department. There will be an
abundance of literature explaining
every feature of this work and the
representative will be glad to assist
the boys in any manner possible. Of
course there will be no charge for
this service.
The local branch will also maintain
a first aid station i'll conjunction with
their exhibit. This viii be in charge
of young ladies who have taken
training in practical first aid work,
and they will be IL position and
willing to render first aid to those
taken suddenly i'll or slightly injured
during the progress of the fair.
The display of sewing and knitting
will show the character of work done
by the women of Sank Centre and
community since the signing of the
Armistice last November.

COUNTY Will Have
new COURT HOUSE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WILL
START WORK EARLY IN THE
NEW YEAR.
TEMPORARY OFFICES SECURED
NORTH WING OF CATHOLIC IN
STITUTE LEASED-TAkE
POSSESSION DEC. !.

Stearns county will have a new
court house. st. Cloud has apparently
recovered from the county seat re-
moval scare given them by Albany
six years ago sufficiently to warrant
them in going aheac with the new
structure.
Prior to the meeting of the last
legislature it was necessary to sub
NIT the proposition OF issuing bonds
for the erection of new court houses
to the voters but the statesmen on
Capitol Hill, st. Paul last winter re-
lieved the people of this needless
worry; the matter is now entirely in
the. hands Of the commissioners.
Stearns county needs a new court
house badly. The, present structure
has been a disgrace to the Wealthiest
agricultural county in the state 1,r
yaers. 1t is absolutely inadequate to
transact the county's business in a
manner satisfactory either to tn. pub
lie or officials.
At a meeting of the county dads
a few days ago the notrh wing of the
st. Cloud Catholic institute was leas-
ed for a time sufficient to erect a
modern structure on the site of the
present ungainly building. The
county will take possession of the In-
stitute about Dec. 1.
1t is said that the commissioners
were forced to take immediate step.
to secure the Institute building be-
cause the Catholic Sisters of Little
Falls were endeavormg to secure the
building and convert in into girls
boarding school. The Institute is the
only available structure in st. Cloud
suitable for the needs of the county
during the building period.
Work on the new court house will
start very soon after the new year.
No definite plans haze been decided
upon, but in an interview the other
day Chairman Lair gave out the
statement that st. Cloud granite
would be used which is quite right
and proper. 1t is expected that the
new structure will be ready for oc-
cupany sometime during 1921.
The present court house site was
donated to Stearns county by the
Wilson's, and the Herald understands
that any time it is not used for
county purposes it reverts to the
heirs. There is ample room to build
modern court house on the present
site. The county Jail will be a
separate building but adjacent to the
court house.
The amount of money needed to
erect the buildings has not been de-
cided upon by the county commits

ENDS THIS YEAR
CONGRESS REPEALS LAW OBJ
NOXIOUS TO FARMERS OVER
PRESIDENTS VETO.
COUNTRY Wins over CITIES
REPEAL BECOMES EFFECTIVE
LAST, SUNDAY IN OCTOBER
THIS YEAR.

Washington, Aug. 20-Repeal of the
daylight saving act was accomplished
today, the senate voting to sustain
the house IN passing the repeal over
President Wilson's veto. The vote
was 81 to 19.
When the clocks ere set back one
hour the last Sunday m October, ebay
light time" will cease, not to be rein
stated next year.
Repeal of the daylight saving law
was practically assured late yesterday
when the house passed the bill over
President Wilson's veto.
1t was a case of the farmers versus
city residents. Representatives voic-
ing the sentiment Of. the rural popula-
ton carried the day; piling up six
votes more than the necessary two
thirds.
Those voting for the passage of the
repeal bill over the presidents veto
totalled 223, those against it 1O1.
Partisan ;politics did not enter into
the situation, administration demo-
Gratis from rural districts voting with
republicans for the repeal, and bitter
opponents of the president among the
republicans voting to sustain him.
The house failed in previous at
tempt to pass a daylight saving repeal
bill over the presidents veto in July.
At that time the measure was attach
ed as rider to the agriculture ap-
preparation bill.
In the Minnesota delegates, only
Representatives w. H. Newton of
Minneapolis and Oscar G. Keller of st.
Paul voted against the repeal yester-
day. Those voting 20 sustain the
house action were Representatives
Sydney, Anderson, w. L. Carss, G. r.
Davis, F. F. Ellsworth, Harold Knut-
son, T. d. Schall, Ha1vor Stevenson
and A. j. Volstead.
KEezkla of Milwaukee was the only
Wisconsin member voting to sustain
the presidents veto, while Weight,
Lamber, Esch and Nelson voted for
the repeal.
Iowa members who were present
voted solidly for the passage of the
repeal bill, those recorded being Hull,
Sweet, Haugen, Good, Ramseyer,
Dowdell and Green.

GOOD CORPS OF INSTRUCTORS
ARE SIGNED FOR THE COM
ING YEAR. -.r.
STRONG PROGRAM OUTLINED
SPECIAL ATTENTION. AND AS
SISTANCE TO BE GIVEN
BAChW ARD oIUDENI,


The Sank Centre Public schools will
open Monday, Sept. l, and everything
IS all set for successful years work.
There will be many new teachers in
the corps the coming year. Each one
has been selected to teach that for
which he or she is BEST adapted and
likes best.
AS expert as the instructors are
they cannot make the school the sue
cess it should be without the hearty
cooperation of the parents. This
means work and sacrifice on the part
of teacher, parent and child. Those
contemplating taking high school
work the coming year should be On
hand ready for work on opening day.
Entering later means they will have
to carry heavy handicap to make up
the work finished before they enroll.
No town in the state has a better
equipment for school work than Sank
Centre. The buildings are airy and
modern, and the boars are liberal in
their views relative to the conducting
of the school and prov .ding adequate
equipment.
The Herald expects to see Sank
Centre rank we'll up in athletics
during the coming year. Ben
Schroeder, who handles Science and
Athletics is Carleton graduate. He
was star in the athletic activities,
and Carlton Alger, mathematic and
shop work instructor Is an athlete of
ability. .......
A new department viii be introduce
ed the coming year. silss Alice Moss
ford will have charge OF the depart
ment OF Opportunity and industrial
Work. This in effect means that the
backward student will be given spe-
cial instruction. Miss Emma Chelgren

Mossford in the Normal training de-
partment. Miss Lucy Hunt has been
transferred from the Commercial

DEMONSTRATION TO
AID MOONEY FAILS
Five Girls With Banners Give
Up Parading and Disap-
pear in Crowd.

Compared with the suffragette melee
the expected Mooney demonstration last
night was somewhat OF a bloomer. De-
clining TO argue the question of whether
they constituted a parade the five young
girls who appeared IN Broadway In
front of the Metropolitan Opera House
at 7:15 o'clock. long before the arrival
Of the President, gave up their perform
ance and disappeared In the crowds.
Led by Pauline Turkell, secretary Of
the Mooney general committee. the
Mooney quintet carried banners ad-
dressed to President Wilson and de-
manding the release OF Mooney and
Billings, and bearing such messages as
president Wilson. We Cannot Conclude
Just Peace While Some of Our Clti-
zens are Unjustly Jailed" and How
Much Longer Mooney Must Remain in
Jail Depends on You"
The birls marched in single fle for
nation and entered Broadway at Thir-
ty-ninth street. They marched up Broad
way to Forty-first street, where they
turned back and marched down again.
They had started to repeat the pa
geant when the law interfered in the
person OF Sergeant John C. Hayes of
the Morrisania station. in command OF
the Gordon at that point, who told the
girls they could not parade. The girls
denied they were parading, and there
being no parade they did not require a
permit. The sergeant insisted they
constituted a parade and called patrol
men TO bear him out in the argument
The brother cops supported him to the
extent of barring the way Of the Moon
eyettes. The girls surrendered their
designs on Wilson's gaze and carried
their banners nieekly and reagnedly
into the crowds OF Thirty-ninth street,
where they were lost TO view.
A demonstration In interest OF a third
cause was staged in the early part OF tie
night by a body OF thirty or more women
and eight men. who walked two abreast
as far as they could up Torty-nrst street
from Sixth avenue, carrying banners
calling the Presidents attention to the
cause of ireland. Tho Irish band marched
two abreast as far ss the crowds would
permit, but the density OF the throngs
they encountered nearer Broadway re-
solved their parade into series OF
squeeze plays. In which they ultimately
gave up, but not before distributing
circulars announcing n forthcoming
celebration IN honor Of the Irish repuhiic
at the Central opers House.
