An enormous attendance Is expect
ed at tne fair tomorrow and the three
days o. next week, in lieu OF the TACT
that the rain has practically stopped
all farm work and also due TO the
tact that the farmers of the county
snd inhabitants of the towns did not
attend the state fair this year in as
large numbers as usual, but preferred
to await the Mankato fair. p. M.

tracks stated that the race track
would be dry enough for racing with
six hours OF sunshine.
No admission was charged at the
gates during the day, every one be-
ing welcome to come and look over
the exhibits.
City laborers were busy this morn
Ing hiling up hollows with gravel and
sand. Ladies, who have charge OF
the various departments, were on the
ground bright and early, and the
home town organizations that have
C; n@essions were preparing to feed
!. @ly hungry fair visitors during the
Cay.
Rain fell in torrents during the
day yesterday, almost completely
some people braved the stormy wea-
ther and spent the day there. 1t was
impossible for the concessions to
open for they were under water. The
ferris wheel remained idle all day
but the merry go round made sever
al brave attempts to give everybody
a ride. The Fifth Infantry band gave
short concert in the floral hall dur
ing the afternoon, leaving the
grounds about five o'clock.

familiar with the department having
had charge of it for years. She stat
ed that the display of exhibits were
by far better than any that have been
shown in years, and the judge found
II difficult to award the premiums.
There were twelve loaves OF bread
that tested eighty two. and the finest
{ loaf tested ninety-stx. Miss Mcguire
of the University farm, who has
judged much culinary work this fall,
also stated that the cakes were ex
ceptionally fine.
The motion picture men who will
take short sketch of the Boys and
Girls Calf club work commanded
much attention when they began to
make up some of the characters that
will take part in the picture. 1t took
all of forty five minutes for the ex-
pert facial scenery man to make up
one face. Men were just as much
interested as the ladies, who we sus-
pect were making mental notes as to
how to properly fix ones eyes, make
cupid bow mouths. and tint the
cheeks just right.
Credit was given to the National
Bank of Commerce for financing the
Boys and Girls calf club work in
last nights issue. This is an error.
It is the National Citizens Bank that
Is backing the project entirely.
