BLACK DURHAM WHEAT
FOR EXHIBITION

Alter careful consideration of
the matter of admission charges to
the Stearns County Fair, the board
OF directors at recent meeting de-
clded to retain the old admission
charge of so cents.
AT a meeting neld several weeks
ago, and after discussion of the
&c, eased cost of reduction the as
sociation voted Co act upon the rec
'nlmendation of the state fair DO ard
and increase the general admission
fee from SO cents t. Is cents. This
'"s the original plan of the ,si.c:..
at:'n, and as result, this price has,
70 some extent, been advertised.
The matter of IAN increase nowev-,
er, was not considered diplomatic at
this time, and as result, at the
eleventh hour, it was agreed tc re-
tain the old fee of so cents.
There will be change however,
in the plan for admission Of automo-
biles to the grounds. Parking pri-
vileges for cars may be made outside
of the grounds without charge, but
under the new ruling, all cars take1p
inside of the grounds will be abb
ject to an admission fee Of so cents,
and will be obliged to park in the
automobile park away from the gen.
eral thoroughfares of the grounds.
This action has been taken to pre-
vent cars from interfering with
traffic inside of the grounds and je-
opardising the welfare of people
moving about the midway and streets
Of the fair.
On Monday of this week, Sec'y.
Gordon V. Morse, received an excep-
tional wheat exhibit for the fair.
This exhibit consisted of the entire
crop of black and red duran wheat
grown this year by Leo McClusky,
who resides on route 2, Sank Centre.
The seed for this exhibit came
from Gilby, N. D., and is the FIRST
wheat of this kind attempted in this
locality. Mr.. McCluskey will save
the exhibit for seed to be used in IN
creasing his crop next year.
The matter of tent shows at the
fair is now under consideration by
the association, and it is prohaDle
that a number of these will be Sc
cured for the fair.
Perhaps the most interesting feat
ure of the big event, however, VIII
be the night fair, new undertaking
and one which has met with success
wherever attempted. Fireworks,
vaudeville acts, dancing and general
amusement will constitute the pro-
gram for these events. The Mardl
Gras on the final night of the fair
will be the browning event of the
season.
Concession space at the StearnS
county fair is going fast, and per-
sons desiring privileges here Will
have to hurry to get into the ring.
Applications are coming in daily and
allotted space is being sold readily.
