General Sentiment Strongly in
Favor Of Biggest and Best
Fair Ever Attempted r Fll
EVERY DEPARTMENT EVEN
BETTER THAN LAST YEAR
Queen of the Pageant Contest
Is Also Being Received Very
Favorably Everywhere


Personal visits to surrounding
towns and communities within q
radius Of at least so miles how that
the general sentiment is very much
in favor Of the Northern Minnesota
Fair to be staged here August Is
to 10 inclusive and also in favor Of
the historic pageant to be staged
three evenings in connection with
the fair, August 1G, II and 49,, The
finest spirit of cooperation has been
shown in all Of the towns and vii
lagos visited so far by representa-
tives of the American Legion post
sponoring the "Queen Of the ;Pag-
cant" contest ind this spirit of CO.
operation means that each communal
ty will be largely represented at
this fair, the biggest and best ever
attempted in Minnesota, outside Of
the state fair itself.
The program of entertainment Of
fercd will surprass anything ever
seen here before. Coupled with the
pageant, the largest single feature
of the entertainment program there
is offered a variety Of entertainment
features which promise to appeal to
every man, woman and child in
this section of the state. ...' .4
Agricultural exhibits will far sur
prass any ever shown here before
according to the present indications.
Grains will be especially good. Al
though the fair is a trifle early for
vegetables, it is expected that this
display will not suffer greatly on
account of the general season being
about two weeks earlier this year
than usual. J.
Livestock will be one of the big
gest features Of the farm exhibits
This department promises a rapid
growth in view, of the fact that the
raising of better stock is being en-
couragod everywhere throughout the
Northwest. Breeders from all over
this section have already signified
their intention of entering q. large
herds of cattle sheep and hogs
Horses will also be much in evidence.
The Woman's department will also
have banner year. Farmers clubs
will have better and more booths
than usual and the competition will
be exceedingly keen. ",'.,
Poultry will also come in for its
share of increased exhibits. Every
department is growing rapidly,
through the regeneration of the fair
which was experienced last year and
there is little doubt left in anyone's
mind but that this years fair will
be a "hummer" bidding even bet
ter success for next years cxhibi-
ton.
Everyone connected with the fair
in any way is doing his and 81 her
best to make this affair the success
which it should be. Attendance rec
ords of last year are expected to be
doubled this season and there is lit
tie doubt but that another year will
see the fair association well on its
way out of debt and on the road
toward even more rapid expansion.
The "Quccn Of the Pageant" con-
test is progressing nicely, and it is

Profits amounting to more than

Central Cooperative Commission as
ISOLATION in the first six months of
1922 to be returned to patrons in
the form Of patronage dividends.
!, In the first five months Of its op-
erations, ending Dec. 81, 1921 the
farmers terminal marketing agency
accumulated profits amounting to
more than $4,000. This surplus was
returned to the livestock producers
early this year. The total savings
realized by fErmers through divi-
lens and surplus laid aside by the
Central amount to $4,000, although
he organization has been in opera
lion less than year.
Lower commission rates charged
by the Central for handling live
stock, it is estimated saved farmers
$4,000 in the last five months of
1921. In the first half of 1922 these
awnings have been increased by an
other $4,000.
Profits and savings in reduced
commission charges do not represent
all the direct cash benefits of CO.
operative action on the terminal
livestock market, according to J. S.
Montgomery, general manager. Live
stock valued at several hundred
thousand dollars has been handled
through the associations stocker
and feeder service at actual cost,
saving the producer thousands of
dollars in commissions and other ex-
expense he said.

I'm the previous article concerning

years ago. In this and succeeding ar
ticles the. reason prompting the
decision to ask for-division will be
taken up one at a time. ..-'
=. One of the big factors in the
movement is lthe Geographical To-
Jcation. Anyone familiar with the
geography Of the county will admit
that it is heavy expense to trans
port witnesses, jurors and county
and court officials front one Sec
ton to another. It is about 16O miles
from Baudette to Bemidji and the
cost to the county for mileage for
a witness or q juror is about $40
The result is that the court expenses
in this county are among the high,
est in the entire state. A case of any
Importance coming from the north
ern part Of the county, and which
has to be heard at: Bemidji, cost
the taxpayers from $500 to $1,000
and some cases have run consider
ably higher. The entire county suf-

new county; and to the territory

MAIL ENDORSES FRANK II. LEE

The Nevada Mail has discovered
Frank Lee, and the following shows
how this influential Vernon County
newspaper feels about his candidacy
for congress:
"The political observers in this
congressional district are about con-
vinced that Hon. Frank H. Lee, of
Joplin, will receive the Democratic
nomination for congressman without
any opposition. Several prominent
Democrats have been mentioned, but
the best opinion is that Mr.. Lee is the
logical man, and that the interests Of
the party will be best served by al
lowing Mr.. Lee to receive the nomin-
alton without opposition.
"The Democrats are confident Of
victory in November land expect to
regain much that was lost in the
recent landslide. Mr.. Lee is an able
man and prominent figure in the
Democratic circles of the state, as
well as in this congressional district,
and will prove a strong candidate in
the district.
ut is not generally known, but it is
a fact that Mr.. Lee formerly lived in
Vernon County. This county will give
him a large vote and aid materially in
his camuaipn."
To the above tribute the Enterprise
would like to add that south Vernon
and north Barton voters should feel
a particular and special interest in Mr.
Lees candidacy. If your memory
serves US Alright, Lee is almost a
Sheldon product; he lived, we recall,
(and we're going back now to per-
iod of something like twenty-five
years ago) with his parents at or near
Bellamy, and he has an excellent rec
ord in the interim. He served, we
believe, one term in the lower house
of the Missouri legislature, and made
good while there.
The present will be a Democratic
year in this congressional district, and
Frank H. Lee will be a good man to
send to Observation-Disclosures
