Brooten Community Fair
Will Be Held Next Week
Very Elaborate Amusement Pro-
gram Arranged for Sept.
"a, rs and 26

The program for the Brooten
Community Fair, which will be held
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
Sept. "a, 25 and 26, is practically
complete and full details will be
ready for publication in the next
issue of The Review.
This year the plan is to make
the fair an occasion for the reunion
of old settlers and former residents
of this community who have NOV
ed to other sections of the state or
nation, and a special invitation is
being extended to all such folks to
come and Lleet old friends and
acquaintance here, and at the
same time enjoy the entertainment
that will be offered.
The fair board has spared no
trouble or expense in their efforts
to make the fair a success, and in
providing for the comfort and con-
venience of visitors and exhibitors
alike. This summer two new build
ings have been added to the group
of structures on the grounds
and the association is in better
shape than ever to properly dis
play and care for exhibits. There
are now four display buildings in
addition to the big auditorium: a
woman's building, which also hous-
es the agricultural and school dis
plays; a poultry building, a live
stock barn, and a building for sheep
and swine. This means that all
livestock, agricultural products or
exhibits of any kind will be safe
from rain or bad weather, should
such occur. The same idea of COM
fort was in mind for fair visitors
when the auditorium was built last
year. This building will hold a
number of people and those attend
ing the fair can rest assured that
the entertainment will go on, rain
or shine, and that they may enjoy
it in comparative comfort.
The first day of the fair, We'd
nesday, Sept. "a, is devoted to the
entry of exhibits and preparation
of same, and there is no program
on this day. 1t is hoped that as
many as possible will bring some
thing for exhibition in either live
stock, poultry, swine, sheep, agri-
cultural or woman's divisions, or in
all of them. The fair board de-
sires large display. Liberal cash
premiums are offered, as may be
seen by premium lists which will be
distributed the first of the week.
A lively and interesting lineup OF
entertainment will be offered, with
sufficient variety to please all. A
change Of program will be made
each afternoon and evening
Among the numbers will be vaude-
vile acts, including vocal and in
strumental music, acrobates, tumbl-
ers, balancers, dancers, contortion-
ist, band music, etc.

Segregate Game, Domestic
Fowl; Checks Disease
Wild Game Is Very Susceptible to
Malady Affecting Barn Yard
Fowls Scientists Claim

Wild game birds are very sus-
ceptible to the diseases of domes-
tic poultry, and scientists insist
that barnyard fowls and game spe-
cies must be carefully segregated.
according to Carlos Avery, presi-
dent of the American Game Pro-
tective Association.
with the artificial raising of
wild game spreading at a rapid rate
to all parts of the United States, it
is of the utmost Importance that
everyone having anything to do
with domestic poultry or game birds
should keep the two varieties as
much apart as possible. If the
poultry raisers and game breeders
will join hands with the scientists
who are struggling in the field to
control and eliminate poultry di-
seases game breeding will be more
successful" Mr.. Avery said. "-
According to DR.. A. A. Allen, of
Cornell University, an authority on
wild-life ailments, the ruffed grouse
and other game birds succumb very
quickly to the diseases of poultry.
Keep them off the ground contain
mated by chickens" Mr.. Allen
warns.
A leaflet just issued by the Mich
igan Conservation Commission call
ed winter Feeding of Birds,
warns farmers, sportsmen and the
public as follows: "Do not feed
game birds with domestic poultry.
Food should be placed in shelters
regularly so that the birds will
make it a habit to frequent the
feeding places. Quail feeding sta
tions should be close togethed-one
feeding station to each forty-acre
tract.

OLSON DELIVERS
INTERESTING TALK
Discusses Chain Stores, Cen
tralized Banking, in This
City Friday Evening
FAIR SIZED AUDIENCE
Is Farmer-LabOr Candidate
for Governor of Minnesota
introduced by Mayor

Floyd Olson, Farmer-Labor can
didate for governor addressed the
citizens of Sauk Centre and COM
munity Friday evening under the
auspices of the Community First
Association, of this city.
At $50 about 40 business men of
this city and nearby towns had
lunch at the Palmer House at
which Mr.. Olson was the guest of
honor.
The Boys Band played a few
pieces on the street and marched
to the Auditorium of the Junior
High building where the meeting
was held. When Mayor Sigurd
Holme introduced Mr.. Olson as the
next Governor of Minnesota there
were between 100 and 200 men,
women and children present. Per-
haps 35 of the group were farmers.
Mr.. Olson has a pleasing ap-
pearance and a good delivery. He
complimented the citizens of Sauk
Centre on the fine community spir-
it displayed. He said the country
was gradually getting away from
the community idea and reaching
an age of centralization, both in
government and business.
In discussing public Officials the
speaker said there was not nearly
as much corruption in public Of
flee as people were sometimes lead
to believe.
He discussed the centralized
power of the Minnesota Railroad
and Warehouse Commission and
the State Tax Commission at some
length. The concentration Of
power in the hands of these boards
were sharply criticised although
he made it plain he was not i'm.
punging the integrity of the Of
ficials.
In discussing the Chain Store
problem Mr.. Olson said that the
surplus of all kinds of merchan-
disc at the close of the World War
made it possible for the Chain
stores to get a real foothold which
had become a menace to the well
fare of the country as a whole. He
predicted that unless there was a
sharp halting of this plan of mer-
chandising that within a 20-year-
period every line of mercantile en-
deavor will be controlled from the
offices of monster corporations in
the East and that the Independent
merchant will be forced out of bus
mess.
He discussed chain banking
quite at length and claimed there
was a very close relation between
the Chain Store and Chain Banks
that in many cases the director
ates were interlocking.
Mr.. Olson said that as time went
on the Chain Stores would eat up
each other until eventually one
large chain would control all of the
retail merchandising Of the coun-
try. Probably owned by the house
of Morgan.
He painted a picture showing
how the Independent merchant
would be at the mercy of the chain
banks when he wanted to borrow
funds to carry on his business as
he would be compelled to ask a
member of the Chain Store group
for the loan.
Altogether Mr.. Olson painted q
very dark picture of the future for
the little man in business.
Mr.. Olson was listened to atten-
lively and given a fine round OF

SOME FINE CORN

Jonas Eckberg, one of Kandota
townships staunch farmers brought
corn to the Herald office Saturday
a couple of ears of very fine dent
evening. Each ear was about
IL inches long. The kernels were
checked on one of them, the total
amounting to over 700. That is a
good ear of corn in any season in
the real corn belt. AS the season
develops it is quite apparent that
Stearns and Todd counties will
harvest at least an average corn
crop this year.

Nasty Situation Sunday
Willard and Fergus Falls Kitten
Ball Teams Stage a Near
Roman Holiday

About two weeks ago Willard
made a little journey to Fergus
Falls where they defeated the
crack team of that city in kitten
ball game by a 20 score.
Sunday was set for the return
game. The visitors had some
trouble locating the little hamlet.
The team had loaded up bit, and
some of the rooters accompanying
them were a trifle more so.
Play was finally sarted about 400
o'clock. The boys from the big
town were apparently smarting un-
der the defeat administered them
a week before and began kicking
with almost every decision made
by the Jumps" of which there were
three-big League stuff.
The game soon had all the ear
marks of a Roman holiday. One
of the Fergus Falls rooters, a
sizable chap, was longing for
worlds to conquer in a fistic way.
Eventually he bumped into an ex-
Cob on the Willard team. The
fight was short and snappy and the
Navy soon had won decisive vic
tory.
The Fergus third baseman, not
overly large, was particularly OBJ
noxious in his kicking and occas-
ionally made passes at the Willard
players. Two exceptionally close
plays at third on the same base
runner started the making of
trouble. This fellow had taken a
couple of rear view wallops at the
Cob at earlier periods of the game.
The sailor was coaching on first
and seeing the trouble at the third
section he fastened over arriving
before any of his team mates could
stop him. He landed a hard one
and the third baseman went down
for considerably longer count
than that given Gene Tunney in
Chicago. E2s
This was in the last of the sew
enth inning and there was no
more ball game. A few minutes
later, the second basemen Of Fer
gus, weighing about 200 undertook
to physically chastise an ex-army
captain on the Willard team weigh
ing perhaps $50. After the boys
had rolled over pretty much of the
Western front the Army had the
situation well in hand.
After the barrage had cleared
away one of the female members of
the Fergus roofing section some
what disfigured the facial beauty
of one of the non-combatant Viii
lard players with. her finger nails.
From the results achieved the lady
apparently hadn't visited mani
cure for several days.
Just before one of the last of
the Fergus Falls cars left town
it was stopped in front of the
garage, fellow jumped out, walk
ed up to the Cob and took a heal
thy poke at him. The Army CO.
ordinated again and landed a half
dozen quite satisfactory wallops
while the enemy was hastily beat
ing a retreat to his waiting auto
mobile.
It isn't often that these "Wide
Spots in the Road" pull Roman
Holiday stunt, butnthey make it
good when they do. "&....
