After much work President J. B.
Schoenhoff of the Agricultural So
clety OF Stearns County, has complet-
ed his list of directors and superin.
tendents for the 1925 Stearns County
falr which will be held at Sank
Centre Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, Sept. 20, 80. and October
LIST.
Mr.. Schoenhoff has gathered about
him the largest board of directors
ever assembled for the County Fair
In former years the directors have
practically all been from Sank Cen
IRE and immediate adjacent territory.
MI. Schoenhoff has added very
largely to. the numbers of the direc-
torate and has covered practically
the entire county. Each man has
been named because of his peculiar
fitness to carry out the work which
Mr.. Schoenhoff will assign him. It
is hlsN purpose to drive home the fact
that the. fair is Stearns County in
stltution and as such is entitled to
the support of the citizens of the en-
tire county. In his contention Pres
ident Schoenhoff is eminently cor
rect.
The spelling contest to, be put on
h by the rural schools of the COUNTY
under the direction of County Super
intendent W. A. Boerger, will be
one OF the big attractions of the Fair.
Elsewhere in this issue of the Herald
will be found the rules governing the
elimination contest which will be held
in the various rural schools of the
county about April 18th. The thir-
ty-seven winners will hold the final
contest for the county championship
OF the rural schools at the Stearns
County Fair, at date to be selected
later At this time also Superintend-
ent Boerger has designated Sank Cen
tire as the place at which the annual
Teachers Institute of Stearns County
will be held and this event will bring
at least $50 teachers to Sank Centre.
There are number of agricultural
'actIvrtles>i the county which have
never been properly represented at,
the fair. 1t is not generally known
perhaps, but tobacco is being success
fully raised in increased acreage in
the southeastern Fart of the county.
The canning industry is growing;
there are many people who keep a
large number of swarms of bees and
produce honey in large quantities.
There are also a number of success
full poultry associations in the coun-
ty and there will be strong effort
made to get all Of these industries
and associations interested in the
Stearns County Fair to the end that
they will exhibit here in 1925.
There will be meeting of the di-
rectors of the association held in
the near future to formulate plans
along the lines suggested by Presi-
dent Schoenhoff.
More than likely during the COM
ing summer Sank Centre people who
are directly interested in, the success
of the fair will meet up with di-
rectors in the various parts of the
county at gatherings when the i'm
portance of the fair can be driven
home.
Mr.. Schoenhoff has succeeded in
lining. up strong heads for the var
ious departments of the fair. The

rectors, and department heads for
