DIRECTORS ARE ON JOB
STEARNS' COUNTY FAIR RANKS
WELL UP WITH THE BEST
IN STATE

Never before have the officers OF
the Stearns County fair received
such splendid cooperation from all
sections of the county as they are
receiving this year.
The general pageant committee
have already visited Melrose, Albany,
Freeport, st. Cloud and New Munich
and arranged with those towns to take
over certain sections of the Historic
Pageant which will be the big feature
of this years fair, on the evenings of
Sept. 81, % and %. 1t will require
about five hundred people to make the
Pageant the success that it should be-.
The sections taken over by the places
visited requires about $50 people.
Other sections are clamoring for
places in the Pageant and. they will
be visited within short time.
Howard and Harold Perkins, of
st. Paul, representatives of the Rog-
ers company who will have charge of
staging the Pageant arrived in Sank
Centre yesterday and active rehear-
sails will commence under the direc-
tors in short time. The people TAX
ing part in the towns outside of Sank
Centre will be drilled in their home
communities and assembled for the
big show when fair time arrives.
The fair officers and the Pageant
committee met with the St. Cloud
Commercial Club Thursday of last
week. They explained the outline Of
the Pageant, and the Granite City
without hesitation asked for section
which will require a goodly number
of people. They also promised to
send their Juvenile band consisting of
157 pieces to the Sank Centre Fair
on Tuesday, Sept. FL. On Wednes-
day, Sept. %, the Granite City Mum
icipal band will furnish the music.
Thursday Afternoon, Sept. %, the Mel
rose band have rendered their SER
vices. The only expense the fair as
did array of music will be to provide
the musicians luncheon during their
stay in the city.
Thursday of last week the Herald
editor attended the Fillmore County
Fair at Preston, Mimi. Preston is a
village of not more than 800 peo-
pie and there are not 10000 people in
the entire county, but the attendance
was fully twice as large as the largest
day ever enjoyed by the Stearns
County Fair.
AS an agricultural and live stock
exhibit the Fillmore county fair did
not compare with the Stearns coun-
ty fair. Several years ago Fillmore
county passed up harness racing. They
had several free attractions of aver
age merit, a red-hot base ball game
and the cash customers were greatly
pleased.
We had an opportunity while in the
southern part of the state to see the
program Of the Olmstead county fair
held this week at Rochester. Their
racing program required that the
horses should come from off the
farm.
The farm work will be we'll in
hand by fair time and the citizens of
Stearns county can attend their far
with profit and pleasure.
All children of school age will be
admitted free to the fair, Tuesday,
Sept. 81. The admission for adults
will be so cents. When the ticke. at
the gate is purchased a charge Of rs

tween and IL years old Wednesday
