Premium List Thoroughly
Overhauled, Clarified;
Brought Up to Date
ADD NEW DEPARTMENT
Practical Demonstration for
Proper Care and Feeding
of Dairy Cattle

At meeting of the directors of
the Stearns County Fair held at
the Community Club rooms Fri
day evening the final corrections
and additions to the premium list
of the 1927 Fair were made pre-
paratory to turning the book over
to the Herald for printing.
A new department, Horticulture,
will be added this year. Hereto
fore fruits and flowers have been
in the same department, and it has
worked out to some disadvantage.
In order to encourage the growers
of potted plants and flowers the
new department has been estab-
lished with Horticulture, Mrs. Os-
car Klonne is superintendent.
Green house owners and profess
sional florists will be invited to
exhibit in this department, but they
cannot enter into competition with
the private individual who raises
ported plants and flowers for the
purpose of identifying their homes
and grounds. ...
The Fair association has hung
up cash prizes of $1,000 and $500
for the best display made by green
houses.
In the past there has been some
misunderstanding among live stock
breeders, in the matter of comput-
ing ages CT live stock. To clarity
this condition in the 1927 Fair
book a bull listed as three years
old or ever must have been born
prior to July 1, 1924; two years
old or over, prior to July 1, 1925
one year old and over, prior to
July 1, 1926. Six months, prior
to January /, 1927. This rule for
defining ages will apply in all
departments of live stock.
M. IA. @Nye of the Blue.-Valley
Creamery appeared before the di-
rectors and suggested that his
company would be pleased to
make arrangements for Hugh Van
Pelt, formerly head of the dairy
department, University of Missouri
to speak on the proper care and
feeding of dairy cattle, and give a
practical demonstration before
the grandstand one afternoon of
the Fair.
The proposition of Mr.. Nye
was accepted and if satisfactory
arrangements can be made it will
take place Saturday afternoon,
July 2.
In discussing the amusements
program for this year j. j. Weis-
ner, superintendent of the horse
department said that it would not
be possible to have horse races at
this years Fair, so they will be
dispensed with. The amusements
committee will book at least one
more high-class free attraction,
and more than likely there will
be snappy ball games by two of
the fastest teams in this section,
Saturday afternoon, July 2. The
program for Sunday afternoon will
be educational and musical, includr
ing the spelling contest, and the
Male Chorus of Stearns county,
and other attractions, supervised
by County Superintendent of
Schools, VIM. A. Boerger.

was called to III. F. No. 466,

DRUNKEN DRIVERS
MAY BE PENALIZED
Important Highway Legisla-
ton Will Be Considered
This Week
YEARLY HEAD TAX
Drivers Between Fl and so
Years Would Contribute
About 100000

The entire highway program of
the state legislature running from
bills to split up the gasoline tax
to measures to stop drunken driv-
ing, will be put together for ac-
ton by the house of representa-
tlves this week in the first Especial
order" of the session.
A definite time will be fixed for
consideration of various highway
bills, when all other matters will be
set aside. This is the usual pro-
cedure on important matters, but
has not yet been resorted to i'm
either house.
Creation of a highway patrol.
enactment of highway regulatory
laws, and division of gasoline tax
revenues are items on the list for
action.
New teeth in the drunken driv-
ers' law are proposed, to clear up
all questions as to right to revoke
licenses and keep drivers out of
their vehicles.
The house highway committee at
a meeting yesterday took steps to
get special consideration of the
highway program, after prelimi-
nary consideration of uniform
traffic code which already has
passed the senate. This measure
comes from the state safety con-
ference which was conducted in
November.
The house committee is back
ing proposed constitutional
amendment to divert one-third of
the gasoline tax revenue for local
road use, and a companion bill
providing the machinery for dis
tributing the fund. The money,
under terms of the amendment,
would go into the road and bridge
fund, TO be given to counties.
City members are lined up against
the bill as 1t gives the cities moth
ing.
The committee also has approx
ed a bill authorizing the highway
commissioner to create a highway
patrol on motorcycles, to enforce
the road laws. With that is the

First Crime in 100
Years Hits Hamlet

Plainfeld, Ill, March 16.-
For 100 years this peaceful
hamlet has been free from
robbery or similar crime, but
its proud record has been
broken.
j. r. Birkett, member of
the town council, was pass
ing the village cemetery when
a masked man, armed with
pistol, forced him to elevate
his hands while the robber
stole $31, all the money the
city father had with him. In
tense excitement prevails over
this outrage.
Plainield is situated eight
miles east of Joliet, but has
always kept itself clean of
crime and criminals, although
but a short distance from the
penitentiary city. This was
prosperous community long
before Chicago began to rise
from the mud and sand.
