an interesting report Of the session.
He stated that all Minnesota and in
fact the entire country is deeply in
debted to The management OF the
State Fair association for the :influ-
ence it is exerting from educational,
entertainment and financial stand
points. Notwithstanding that its as
sets reach above two and quarter

the educational force 1t exerts. Its
influence In, this regard reaches not
only thru Minnesota and the north
west but thruout the entire United
States, Canada and European conn
tries.

stands high IL, not the highest Of all
the institutions of the state. 1t gives
the public a detailed idea of all the
actual activities and products Of Min
nesota and all bordering states.
AS an entertainment it is regarded
by, able Judges as the greatest and
most far-reaching Of any agriculture
