members Of the directorate have beer

time expended.
Many Entries Made.
The purpose of a County Fair is ex-
pressed in the exhibit of the products
of the community in which the fair is
held. Redwood County has always
had splendid exhibits and those OF
this year are going to equal, if not
excel, those of former years. While
entries of grain and garden products
are as yet not nearly complete, there is
every indication that the big main ex-
hibit building will be well filled. Two
farmers clubs, Paxton and Redwood
Falls have taken space, and it is rum
ored that Springdale is coming with
club exhibit that is little short of
marvellous. ~, -sa.
Thus far there have been eighty
six pens engaged for the display of
swine and C.. G. Little, the superinten-
dent of this department, is beginning
to wonder where the rest of them are
to go. So far Poland Chinas are
greatly in the lead with Duroc Jerseys
as their closet rivals in the number Of
their exhibitors. Entries have been
made from all corners Of Redwood
County and also from Clarkfeld,
Evan, Sleepy Eye, Hanley Falls, New
Ulm and Renville.
Purebred cattle are also to be many
in number. Thirty-four eShorthorn
have been entered, eleven Herefords,
nine Aberdeen Angus, five Guernseys,
fourteen Holstein, and nineteen of all
breeds have been entered for sweep
stakes. With entries not closing un-
til next Monday night it is probable
that this number will be nearly doubl-
ed in several of the breeds.
Club Exhibits.
The stock raised by the members of
the Boys and Girls Pig, Calf and
Poultry Clubs of the county will be
shown in the building formerly used
for the horse exhibit. County Agent
Max Treu has this building in charge
and in it there will also be an exhibit
by the Smith Hughes boys who are
studying agriculture under the direc-
ton of Leo Dahmes of the Redwood
Falls high school. The stock raised
by the young people of the County is
of very great interest to fair visitors
and this display has always been one
OF the most popular ones on the
grounds. The exhibit of school work
will be placed as usual in the school
building which has recently been re-
paired and now offers much better
opportunity for display.
Demonstration work by the bread
and cake-making, canning and gar
ment-making clubs will be in the main
exhibit building. A little later it will
be possible to give a complete pro-
gram of the work to be done by the
demonstrating clubs, all this work be-
ing done in conformity with the state
rules covering the club work. Mrs.
Genevieve Burgan Meybohm will be
the judge of this demonstration work.
Mrs Krumm demonstrates
The general household department
display will occupy it's usual wings in
the main building. Other depart
ments which will be of especial inter-
est to women include the demonstra-
tions by the club teams which were
mentioned above. This year also
there is new feature which will be
wonderfully attractive, the Fair Direc-
tors having secured the services of
Mrs. Krumm of Saint Paul to give
daily demonstrations in garment max
ing, and all kinds of practical home
sewing. Mrs. Krumm is the editor
in charge of the fashion department
Of the Farmers Wife and her ability.

strator at fairs, farmers Institutes,
etc. makes her splendidly capable of |
giving a helpful and interesting ex-
position of simplifed sewing. Her

children who will wear the dresses
