Obtained
Srecial thanks were offered the by
the Mankato fair management to the
man in charge of the weather. He has
done fine. No better ozone conditions
for q fair could have been furnished.
The third and last day of the Man
kato. fair dawned bright and clear. and
preparations were being made this
morning to entertain more people to-
day than have been entertained kere-
tofore. 1t Is success In every way
and those who have spent a great
deal Of time and hard work prelim-
mary to the opening of the fair to
make II success surely have every
reason to feel proud over their work.
They not only worked hard before the
fair, but are on, the grounds every
minute of the day doing their best
to look after all things under their
supervision the best rossible man
ner. The Mankato business men have
helped greatly, especially in the
grandstand, where several hundred
are crowded in after it is already
full.
The program last evening was
largely attended, and went as smooth
ly as the preceding programs, and
again everyone voted 1t the best seen
here. .,...
The grandstand was packed again
yesterday afternoon and evening as
were the boxes and bleachers, and the
fence was lined with people. Man
kato business men surely worked hard
to accommodate the immense crowds,
and surely everyone appreciated their
efforts.
The program was the same as ION
the preceding day, and was just as
this city who took the jump In the
Overland over the sixteen foot space
did it especially well yesterday. Fifty
feet from the foot Of the incline the
car must not be going over twenty
two miles per hour.
Yesterday afternoon the boys and
girls tent had another attraction, for
the Kato canning club was there in
full !, force canning tomatoes and
peaches. The club consists OF Helen
Kleinschmidt, captain; Janet Koen-
ker, and Anna Kaufman. Today out
Of town clubs worked, demonstrating
the PROPER way to prepare and can
fruit and vegetables. The girls looked
very charming In their white kitchen
dresses and aprons. The Kato can
ming club ranks second among the
clubs Of this kind, which have been
NJ H. Coe.
Polo arrived Yesterday and gave
talks to the boys and girls, and
grown ups seemed as interested as
the kiddies, and surely they learned
too, for he informed them Of many
little things concerning health that
does not come amiss. He explained
how to brush teeth properly. and sug ;
gested certain vegetables that are
good for u.s. and some that are not.
He also informed them that coffee Is
their worst eneahy and that they
should drink mffk in its place, and
that milk should not be gulped
down. but takeheih the mouth and a
CT ewing process gone through with
before swallowing. After his talk the
youngsters threnged the child clinic

dies In charge of the public health by
the Fifth Regiment, and two men
are in charge of the ambulance, and
are ready with their services to help
when they can.
Big Crowd On Grounds. -
Late yeter6ay afternoon it had been
estimated that between 1000 and
Il, 900 people visited the grounds dur
ing the day, but the actual count had
not been taken. The floral hall re-
ceiyed its. share of attention, being
jammed to the doors all day as did
all other exhibitions.
Many peope were curious to know
why one Of the Gypsy women had her
baby's limbs bound so tightly with
about four weeks old, and 1t Is un-
usual to see child's limbs bound
that way. One little more curious
than the rest inquired and learned
that the baby is bowlegged and they
are trying to straighten its limbs. =
The fair must be interesting, for
someone became, so interested In
something or other that they lost
their false teeth. The teeth were
found, and were rerosing peaceably
enough in the business office at the
grounds.
