COUNTY FAIR MEET
ING FRIDAY NIGHT
PROGRAM FOR THE FORTHCOM-
ING SHOW is RAPIDLY AS
Stunning SHAPE
TWO DAYS OF RACING
SENATOR-ELECTM AGNUS JOHN
SON WILL BE PRINCIPAL AT
TRACTION FIRST DAY

President J. B. Schoenhoff has
called meeting of the stockholders,
directors, and all others who are in
terested in the success of the Stearns
County fair, to be held at the Com
munity Club rooms Friday evening of
this week.
This will be the last general meet
ing to be held before the 1928 fair
which will be held at Sank Centre,
August 27-28-29-30.
Secretary Ben Dubois has the
program pretty we'll lined up for this
years fair and with good weather
the usual high standard of excellence
will be maintained. Horse racing was
discontinued last year because of
the expense, but it has been decided
to resume this sport again this year,
and races will be held on the last two
days of the fair. There are prospects
for a liberal number of entries in
each of the four races scheduled.
There will be baseball, several high
grade free attractions, number of
clean shows, riding devises of various
kinds, and other attractions to amuse.
Senator-elect Magnus Joohnson has
been booked to deliver an address be-
fore the grandstand the first day of
the fair. Mr.. Johnson's overwhelm-
ing victory over Governor J. A. o.
Preus at the recent special election
has made him one of the outstanding
figures in national politics. In. fact
he has received more publicity in six
week than most statesmen receive in
a lifetime.
The buildings at the fair grounds
have been put in first class shape for
this years fair, thanks to the dona-
ton of labor by number of citizens
and cash by H. w. Bishop and G..
Hillerud. If you are interested in the
success of the fair, be sure to at
tend Friday evenings meeting.

PRESIDENTS
PROCLAMATION

To the People of the United
States:
In the inscrutable wisdom of
divine providence, Warren Gam
aliel Harding, 29th president of
the United States, has been
taken from us. The nation has
lost a wise and enlightened
statesman-and the American
people a true friend and coun-
sellor whose whole public life
was inspired with the desire
to promote the best interests of
the United States and the well
fare of all it's citizens. His
private life was marked by gen
tleness and brotherly sympathy,
and by the charm of his person
atty he made friends of all who
came in contact with him.
1t is meet that the deep grief
which fills the hearts of the
American people should find fit
ting expression.
Now therefore, l, Calvin Coo
lidge, president Of the United
States of America, do appoint
Friday, next, August 10, the
day oh which the body of the
dead president will be laid in
it's last earthly resting place,
as a day of mourning and pray
er throughout the United States.
l earnestly recommend the peo-
pie to assemble on that day in
their respective places of divine
worship, there to bow down in
submission to the will of AL
mighty God, and to pay out of
full hearts the homage and love
and reverence to the memory of
the great and good president,
whose death has so sorely smit-
ten the nation.
In witness | have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Wash
ington, the fourth day of Au-
gust, in the year of our Lord,
one thousand nine hundred ami
twenty-three, and of the indie
pendence of the United States
the one hundred and forty
eighth. .. 49,.

grand stand in the world. At least
this is the sworn statement of fifty
legionaires of Ralph Oracle Post No.
IA of Bemidji, Minnesota, who last
week purchased 60 gallons of paint
and scaled the high and narrow lodges
of the grand stand to give it two

Beltrami County. "The job is real
credit to the American Legion" de-
clares the Bemidji Pioneer, ssThe

and so per cent larger" The Legion
boys give all the credit to their won
derful Legion Auxiliary members,

Gravel Road is Most
Or at Least Desirable
Best for Moderate Traffic but Costly
and Unsatisfactory When They
Are Overburdened

A Minnesota legislator from dis
trict where trunk route travel is light
and many can see no reason for hard
surfacing any highways, says high
way bulletin, became convinced by
personal observation on recent auto
mobile trip into Iowa that paving of
some Minnesota routes is only simple
economy.
When the car crossed the state line
bound north, the legislator remarked
that Minnesota roads were noticably
better. The machine travelled on
trunk highway No. 1 through Albert
Lea and the route showed more plain
ly the effects of the grind as traffic
increased. Out of Owatonna it was
cnoppy and there was much loose ma
terial on the surface, also signs Of
special maintenance taking large
sums.
Finally, the pavement was reached
at Faribault and the ribbon of con-
crete continued for 55 miles into st.
Paul. The pavement looked good
and rode
"This ride has convinced me that
all things considered, the state must
make provision for paving some OF
these main arteries that are carrying
more loads than l thought it possible
to crowd on one road" was the verdict
of the legislator.

Cut Over Eye and Bruises
On Body

Tuesday afternoon, little Dorothy
Schwartz, 8-year-old daughter OF Mr..

in the road with two companions
when two automobiles coming frog
opposite directions approached.
The driver going south blew his
horn and tive of the girls jumped out
of the way and little Dorothy not

From all that the Herald can learn,
