The program is all set and all that
is needed is for the weather man to
be kind to make the 1925 fair one OF
the greatest county fairs ever held In
Minnesota. ..-..
Inquiries for entry blanks in all de-
partments are pouring into the office
of Secretary Hillerud; the farmers
have their work we'll in hand; the
amusement program is ample and the
educational features are the strongest
ever.
Reports reaching Sank Centre in
dictate that the fair officers made a
ten-strike when they booked A,
Blackstone and Speed Holman with
their airplane for three days of the
fair. Blackstone is the originator OF
the Standing Loop with record OF
over 600 parachute jumps. He is
contender for both high and low al
titude records. Holman won first
prize for stunt flying, International
Air Derby, Dayton, O. These gentle
men incorporate everything that is
new and unique in aviation, and their
death-defying stunts fairly take ones
breath away. The stunt flying in.

walking, spirals, spins, looping the
loop, and parachute leap from the
clouds. These gentlemen will give
their entire program each Of the
three fair days.

be different than the ordinary run Of
free acts seen at fairs.

two aggregations. These games are
in charge of v. G.. Wedge. If there

to get into these games they are re-
quested to get in touch with Mr..
