association as president for the past
three years. The Herald knows that
Mr.. Schoenhoff if left to his own
desires will retire as the active head
of the association. From what we
have been able to learn, however, we
are convinced that the gentleman will
not be permitted to do so, and we are
just as certain that if it is the wish
of the annual meeting next Tuesday
that he will continue to Garry On
with the same efficiency and enthus-
iasm as in former years. At the an
nual meeting last winter Steve
Schwarzbauer of The Mart was elect
ed corresponding secretary. Mr. :.
Schwarzbauer of The Mart was elect
officer but the Herald understands
that because of his business cares he
does not wish to retain the secretary
ship longer. Treasurer Fred Fischer
has his books in splendid condition
and he has watched the expenditures
OF the Association with an eagle eye
and should be retained if he can be
prevailed upon to do so.
The selecting of the dates of hold
ing the 1925 fair will be decided up
on at this meeting. The experience
of the past two years has proven con-
clusively that because of its close
proximity to harvest the last week in
August is poor time hold the fair.
Since the close of the 1924 fair there
has been considerable discussion as
to the proper time of putting on the
exposition. There has been some
sentiment expressed that the as
ISOLATION could make the best fnan-
cial showing if the 1925 fair was
held on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day, July End, 3rd, and 18th. At the
last meeting of the association Di-
rector Ben Otte took issue with the
advocates of this early date calling
attention to the fact that in July
none of the livestock or poultry could
be got in condition for proper
showing, and that an exhibit of veg
etables and grain would be out of the
question.
The officers of the fair desire to
put the fair on at time that will
best meet the needs and conditions
of the greatest number. There is a
growing sentiment that the fair
should be held either the last week
in September Or the first week in
October. The Herald would urge all
farmers and other interested in the
success of the fair, and all should be-
to attend next Tuesdays meeting and
participate in its deliberation-not
only in the selecting of officers for
the 1925 fair but also in deciding up
on the proper time for holding same

Preparations for the annual meet
ing of the Agricultural Society of
Stearns county to be held at the
Community Club rooms Tuesday af-
ternoon, October 14th, at 1870 are
complete. This meeting means much
to the future of the Stearns County
Fair.
Secretary Schwarzbauer is this
week mailing out the checks to all
premium winners at the 1924 fair
which contains a notice urging the
premium winners to attend the an
nual meeting of the fair next Tues
day. President j. B. Schoenhoff is
also sending a special notice to each
one of the so stockholders of the as
ISOLATION, urging their attendance at
this meeting.
County Superintendent of Schools,
VIM. A. Boerger of St. Cloud, has
accepted an invitation to address this
meeting. Through the efforts of Mr..
Boerger the school children of the
rural districts of Stearns county were
sufficiently enthused few years ago
to earn the money necessary to erect
the very appropriate building on the
fair grounds to house the yearly ex-
hibits of the rural schools of Stearns
credit to the rural schools of
Stearns county and harmonizes nice
ly with the buildings of the other
departments of the fair.
Because of his close Identification
with the Stearns County Fair for
many years, Mr.. Boerger is perhaps
the best man in. Stearns county to
address the annual meeting next
Tuesday He has watched the de.
velopment of the fair and is in a
position to tell the farmers and bus
inessmen present at the annual meet
ing things that can be done to make
the Stearns County Fair more repre-
sentative of the agricultural interests
of the county. Mr.. Boerger is an
interesting speaker and the Herald is
sure that while he will commend the
made he will not hest
tate to point out the weakness of the
fair with frankness.
Heretofore it has been the custom
to hold the annual meeting in the
evening but president j. B. Schoen-
hoff and the other officers of the
Fair Association feel that all of the
farmers, particularly those of West
ern Stearns, County, should be active
ly interested in the fair, and with
idea in mind it was felt that if the
meeting was held in the early after
noon greater number of farmers
would participate in its deliberations.
At Tuesdays meeting the officers
for the 1925 fair will be elected.

CITY NAMED MODERATOR
FOR COMING YEAR

The Central Association of Congre-
gational churches which met in Sank
Centre Thursday and Friday of last
week was voted to be one of the
most successful held in the state. This
was the opinion of the state officers
and others who attended. For Or
ganization, enthusiasm, hospitality,
and general worthwhileness, the
meetings of 1924 will set new stan
dard Incidentally this was the And
annual meeting of the association and
probably the best attended of them
all. Every active church in the as
ISOLATION was represented; all the
state officers were here and the local
church took much interest in the
meetings, every session being we'll
attended.
The church was tastefully decorat-
ed for the occasion and the decora-
tive scheme was the cause of much
favorable comment from the out of
town visitors. The banquet given on
Friday evening was one of the hap
piest affairs possible. Plates were
laid for eighty people and every
place was occupied. POSTMASTER
Bezanson of Glenwood was ably as
sisted by the moderator, Rev. Elmer
Benedict, who took charge of the
singing, and he kept the people sing
ing and laughing drought the meal.
A very gracious touch was brought
to the proceedings when the toast
master called on everyone to rise and
acknowledge the presence of DR.. E.
j. Lewis, the father Of an illustrious
son, Sinclair Lewis, a former scholar
in the Congregational Sunday School.
Many splendid addresses were CIV
en- during the two days of meetings
evening addresses by Rev. ]. Rich
mond Morgan of Fergus Falls who
more than upheld his reputation as
orator, and DR.. Everett Lesher,
State Superintendent, who spoke on
"The Home and the Church" in a
way which left a lasting impression
on all who were privileged to hear
him.
The moderator expressed the feel
ings of all present when he said he
wished those two messages could have
been broadcasted into every home in
the country. The offerings taken at
the two evening sessions were more
than double those of last year.
The following officers were elect
ed: Rev. A. |Yukl of South Elmdale
and Holdingford, Scribe; Rev. B.
Buck of Monticello, Registrar:
preacher for next year, Rev. Harry
Blunt of Alexandria; and the honor
of moderator for the year was passed
to Rev. Cecil S. Sparkes the pastor of
the local church.
Clearwater offered to entertain the
next association meeting if it was
found after careful survey that
they could handle it, if not Alexan-
dria will be the entertaining church.
The Herald learns after conversation
with some of the Clearwater people
that there is little chance of them be-
ing able to handle so large a gather
ing and the probability is that Alex
andria will be the place of the next
gathering.

American Legionaires of
Robert Swift Post Meet
Committee for Proper Observance of
Armistice Day Appointed-Sur-
prised by Auxiliary

Tuesday evening the Robert James
Swift Post of the American Legion
and Women's Auxiliary held their
regular meeting at the Community
Club rooms, good representation of
both organizations being present.
After the minutes of the previous
meeting had been read and approved
a motion was put before the house
suggesting that Robert James Swift
posts treasurer issue a check in pay
ment for flags where property own
ers have refused to pay for them, and
further that the flags become the
property of the Legion, and that that
organization make such disposition
of the flags as it might later deem
advisable. After discussion the motion
was approved, and carried by unan-
imous vote.
The case of disa bled buddie was
then throughly gone over. 1t was
the opinion of members present that
the case of this man had not been
given proper consideration by the
District Board of Appeals of the 10th
District it was decided to turn the
case over to DR.. A. F. Moynihan for

sary.
Two COMMITTEES were then appoint
ed; one to attend to the preparations
for Armistic Day activities, and the
other to confer with the committee

the paving on Main and Third streets,
and to offer the assistance and coop

Hugh E. Wallace who represent
ed the Robert James Swift Post as
a delegate to the recent State con-
vention at St. Cloud gave very
complete report on the convention
work, and told of many of the nut"
stunts that were pulled for the amuse-
ment of the Legionaires. The COM
pleteness of the delegates report
would almost lead one to believe, that
his conceptive powers were super
human.
AS the meeting adjourned the Le-
gion members were treated to an
agreeable surprise by the Auxiliary
in the form of most delicious supper
for which the boys were grateful.

stand until after the frost than en-
sile it too green, for satisfactory
silage can be secured from frosted
corn and the crop may mature to a
considerable extent before a severe
frost comes. If the crop is killed by
frost, it should either be ensiled
quickly or shocked tightly to preserve
it from the weather. If shocked
properly, it will keep in good condi-
ton until after the first of the year
and can be used to refill the silo
after it is emptied the first or sec
ond time.
Zone of the newest and most sue
cessful methods of SLIDING is to snap
the ears and ensile them alone, with
husks. This make concentrated
feed and permits small silo capacity
to care for large acreage of frost
ed corn. In either case, it is advis-
able always to add water, if neces-
sary, to bring up the moisture con-
tent to 60 or rs per cent to make
good silage," according to the
Creamery Institute.

Brooten's Community Show
Was a Splendid Success
Sank Centre and Melrose Send Dele
cations of 200 on Thursday
Boost for BohaIl

The second annual Community
fair at Brooten last week was a de-
cided success from every angle. On
Thursday Melrose-Sauk Centre day,
there were over 1900 paid admissions
and on Friday, Glenwood day, there
were over 1900.
The enterprise shown by the bust
ness men of Brooten in successfully
staging an event Of this sort is COM
mendable because it not only means
tremendous outlay of time for the
officers and citizens generally but it
also means the expenditure of con-
siderable sum of money. The ex-
hibits in every department were un-
usually fine. The livestock display
would have done credit to any of
the county fairs of Minnesota while
the display of fruits and vegetables
was splendid demonstration of the
fertility of that section of Stearns
county.
On Thursday afternoon Sank Cen
tire and Melrose sent delegation of
nearly 200, headed by the Melrose
band. Because of car trouble a por-
ton of the band were delayed some
what but they made most impress
sive showing. When the Melrose-
Sank Centre delegation arrived in
Brooten practically everyone in the
party wore a badge indicating the
towns from which they came and al
so a badge declaring themselves for
c. E. Bohall of Sank Centre for
Representative in the legislature
from this district.
The address Thursday afternoon by
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
of the State of Minnesota, Mr.. Hay,
was both entertaining and practical,
the large tent seating over 1000 peo-
pie was over-run by those who de-
sired to listen to this discourse.
President Noble and the other Of
ficers of the Brooten Community fair
are very strong supporters of the
Stearns County Fair at Sank Centre.
They are convinced that shows of the
Brooten type add interest to the
county fair and in this they are right
The officers of the Brooten Com
munity fair were delighted with the
splendid showing made by the citi-
zens of Melrose and Sank Centre on
Thursday and the Herald has been
requested to express their deep APP
probation to the people of Melrose,
Sank Centre and adjacent territory
for their splendid cooperation, in
making this years Brooten Commun-
ity fair, a splendid success, financial
ly and otherwise.
