state; and the early home of four of
it's governors. On it's outskirts was
concluded the famous treaty of TRAY
erse des Sioux, under the terms of
which the Sioux Nation ceded all it's
lands lying west of the Mississippi
river to the federal government.
Eleven years later, when the In
dians under Little Grow took to the
warpath, st. Peter sent a company
uuder Colonel Chas. e. Flandrau,
first chief justice of the Minnesota
supreme court to the relief of the
New Ulm settlement, and at the same
time sheltered refugees from all Sec
tions of the frontier. And General
Henry H. Sibley used st. Peter as
his headquarters when he modified
the expedition that crushed the power
of the Sioux.
In preparing the scenario for the
pageant a wealth of material was
found, and the spectacle will unfold
the romantic story of the coming of
the white explorers, and the growth,
development and history of the city
down to the present day. 1t will
show the present generation sue
cession of picturesque and. dramatic
events as colorful as many befound
in America.
The homecoming to be held in
connection is attracting widespread
attention, st. Peter having invited all
of it's former residents to attend the
pageant. Proceeds of the pageant
are to be used for fund for the re-
lief Of sick and disabled service men.

Coal Strike At Herman.

Herman Review-A number Of
Herman people have organized a new
buyers strike. They have agreed to
buy only half ton of coal at time
until something is done about the
price. The idea is that while the
people must submit to the prices
charged there is no reason why we
should finance this holdup by buying
a winter supply now and paying cash
for it. The scheme applys only to
residences. 1t is argued that the
strikers can get through the winter
some way, even if there is a coal
shortage, which they doubt. If this
plan spreads over the country it will
make few dents in the coal trust.

"BUY PURE-BRED
BULL AT THE FAIR"
Above is Slogan Used To Interest The
Farmers In The Dairy and Beef
Show At County Fair.

Buy pure-bred bull at the fair!"
Lets put one pound more of but
ter on the table of every home in the
country!"
These are two of the slogans which
are being used in interesting farmers
to attend the big dairy and beef cat
tie show which is to be put on at the
Stevens County Fair, Morris, Sept. S
to 8.
eff all the dairy herds in America
we're headed by pure-bred bulls" said
Secretary G. r. Woolthan, of the fair,
yesterday, enough additional milk
would be produced to provide each
person with an extra quart of milk
day for six years. Enough additional
butter would be obtained to furnish,
each home with sixty more pounds of
butter a year. Almost unbelievable,
isn't it?''
Leading breeders of cattle in the
country are cooperating with the
fair management in making arrange
ments for the cattle show.
Herds are being put in shape for
exhibition, and big turnout of an
imals is expected. There will be keen
competition for ribbons and cash
prizes.
Horses, sheep, swine and poultry
will be exhibited in numbers and
fruit and vegetable exhibit will be
large. The women and children are
working hard on their departments.

ALBERTA HAS SCARE
WHEN OLD BARN BURNS
Calls To Morris for Help When Braun
Garage and Homebuilders Build
ing Is Endangered By Fire.

Alberta had a bad scare at about
700 o'clock Monday evening when
an old blacksmith shop at the rear
of the Braun Garage caught fire and
endangered the garage and the big
frame building of the HomebuildeIa
Lumber Company across the street. A
call for help was sent by phone to
Morris when flying embers caught
fire to the Adolph Andert house, and
the members of the Norris Fire De-
partment was just ready to start for
Alberta when another message was
received that the fire was under con-
troll.
Meanwhile many cars from Morris
we're on the way to Alberta. Clouds
of smoke could be seen many miles
from the town. Within a short time
quite a crowd from here had gather
ed to witness the blaze. 1t is thought
the fire started from a kerosene stove
which was being used by Mrs. G. w.
Roberts who with her husband was
living in the barn temporarily while
their house was being built.
The Alberta bucket brigade worked
steadily getting the fire under control
Handicapped by no city water supply
men fighting the fire were forced to
depend on a pump in the garage for
water. Men stationed themselves on
the roof of the Homebuilders Lumber
Company watching to see that the
building did not catch from flying
sparks. The garage was scorched
and panes of glass cracked from the
heat, but no other damage was done.
The barn was burnt to the ground.
Mr.. and Mrs Roberts had several
pieces of furniture in it.

Mrs. Bill Cooking for the Fair.

Bill Smith has taken his trusty pen
into hand again. Secretary c. r.
Wollthan of the Stevens County Fair
Morris, Sept. S to 8, received another
letter from Bill this week. He is a
a persistent sort of fellow. Read
what he writes.
Deer Secretary: You certainly
started something in my family when
you mailed that catalogue, telling
about the Stevens County Fair at
Morris Mimi, Sept. 5 to 8, so could
figure out what prizes Nancy our
own cow could win. My wife, you
know, has a reput ashton all over as
wonderful cook. She sure is proud
of her cookin. She was readin the
book when she found that prizes are
to be given for bread, cookies, jell
and etc. You know what happened,
Sex. She made up her mind instant
to make a special batch of bread, ETC.,
for the fair. If this stuff of her'n
is just one-half as good as her regu-
lar line, she will have no comeptis-
hion. And do you know, Sex, she
but is going to try for the knitting
prize, too. She made over two hun
dred socks for the Red Cross during
the war, and I guess little job of
knitting for the fair isn't going to
stump her. Not she, I know her too
we'll for that, Sex. Well, see, Sex
that your prize for the best cow is a
right smart of cash, besides the rib
bon. Well, you might as well send
in the cash now. My Nancy is going
to win in a walk, and no question.
The ribbon can come later. After
cop at your fair, I'm going to look
around, and if there is any other fairs
held right after, I'm going to take
them all in. Shortly my COW, Nancy
will be as famous as that runntn
horse, Man-O-War, and just as valu-
able, even tho there's some $12O, 900
been offered for it. If you haven't the
cash, Sex, send the ribbon. The
money will be spent but the ribbon
can be looked at in all times. From
now on, Sex, you can figure strong
on the Smith family being the SEN
sahion of your fair. I am making
out entry blanks and forwardin them
tonite. Write me, Sex, about the
entry, and tell me if we have to bring
our own feed. Nancy does sure eat.
Yours truly,
Bill Smith, r. F d. 2.
