NAMED Intact Throughout Biz
zard-Other Towns Hit

Little or no damage was done in
or about Sank Centre during the
storm last Sunday which wrecked
homes and wire communications at
many points throughout the north
west.
The storm set in here in the after
noon with rain and hail and this was
followed with snow and wind. At
Glenwood, telephone communication
was reported broken as was the stu
alton at many other points in Min
nesota.
Judging from the results Of the
storm in this vicinity, the storm CEN
ter. did not reach as far north as
Minnesota, but swept Iowa, Illinois
and lowdr Wisconsin where many
lives were lost and homes wrecked.
Sundays storm was followed with
rain and hail late Monday, but this
soon passed over and the warmer
weather following Wednesday caus-
ed most Of the snow to leave the
ground here.
The weather bureau reports con-
tinued storms of rain, wind and snow
throughout the balance Of the week.

v. MORSE

The price Of admission to all county
fairs in the state of Minnesota IN
Guiding that Of the Stearns county
fair which will be held in Sank Gem
tire next September, will raised from
so cents to rs cents, this year.
This increase in the admission
price was adopted at meeting Of all
county fair secretaries held in MINI
neapolis last Friday and Saturday.
1t was found necessary to make
this change to meet with the general
increase of operating expenses which
has taken place within the past year.

ment that the admission price at the
state fair this year would be increas-
ed seventy-five per cent.

amount Of interest in the gathering
shown by the members Of the stats
fair board. These men were present
at all of the sessions and offered
numerous suggestions for the bene-
fit Of the county fair representa-
tives.
So large has been the increase ID
the cost Of fair operation, that it win
be necessary for all county fairs 10
} greatly increase their attendance
even at the advanced rate of admis~
sion, to meet expenses this year.
s"Fairs this year which break even
+ will be. going very well" Mr.. Morse
told the Herald Wednesday.
It is the plan of the local fair as-
ISOLATION also to increase their pre-.
ums this year If the necessary fns
ancial arrangements can be made.
The sessions held last week were
largely given over to the laying Of
plans for the handling of the various
attractions and to the securing OF
horses for the racing program OF
the 'Big Four" racing circuit.
It is said that the securing OF
rare horses for the fall racing period
will he exceedingly hard ttis year
due to the big increase in cost OF
TRANSFORMATION and requirements TO
he met by the horsemen.
