ST. CLOUD NEWSPAPER
ROBBED, THREATENED

St. Cloud, Minn.-St. Cloud police
are. puzzled by mysterious robbery
of the St. Cloud Times plant, accom-
panied by threat of dynamiting. All
the linotype machines were stripped
of their spacebands. The robbers left
a note reading: Beware of strike.
Next time dynamite" The reference
to strike is believed to be a blind,
as the Times has never had strike
and employs union labor. Besides
stripping the machines, the thieves
took from the editorial room a few
boxes of pencils, two or three pairs of
scissors and two letter openers. Other
articles of greater value were left un-
disturbed.

MELONS and Sweet
POTATOES TO Be
FEATURES OF FAIR

A survey of the spacious Exhibi-
ton Building at the Ward County
Fair grounds indicates that limited
amount of space will be available for
rent for display booths by merchants
or other dealers, preferably in agri-
cultural accessories. These. booths
can be obtained by consulting the
secretary.
The secretary, will move his office
and office force from the postoffice
building to the fairgrounds about
Friday of this week and will remain
there temporarily until after the fair
when they will be returned to the
postoffice building. This will be for
the greater convenience of conducting
the business of the fair. Commodious
quarters have been fitted up under
the grand stand and signs at the main
entrance will indicate the way.
Sweet potatoes grown in Ward
county, in sight of Minot, will be one
of the novel displays at the fair. A
patch Of 500 hills has been grown sue
cessfully this year on the. Hunter
farm near the stock yards. Mr.. Hunt
err is preparing to make a good dis
play Of these tubers which most per-
sons associate with ole Virginny and
Dixie land in general. Mr.. Hunter
says his crop has matured as well as
any sweet potatoes he ever saw.
North Dakota watermelons are also
to be a prominent display at the fair.
In fact all sorts Of agricultural pro-
duce will be shown and citizens are
showing a commendable spirit of pa
triotism and cooperation in planning
80 o>,hI;t AVIAN email Quantities of
vegetables, fruit. etc.. from their
farms and gardens to help make the
fair a success. Everyone whether in
Minot, Ward county or outside is in
vited to make some contribution to
the exhibits.
Minot business men and citizens in
general are requested to decorate
their places of business and homes as
well as the streets for the fair. There
will be two big conventions as well as
the Iowa district picnic in progress
the same week and decorations will be
especially pleasing at that time.
