Friday morning of next week the
gates will swing open for the an
nual Stearns County Fair which
will be held in this city Aug. 10, 20.
and 81. ~
Friday will be entry day, and all
entries must be in place-by Friday
evening. Indications are that every
department will be well filed with
exhibits of merit.
The premium list for this years
fair was thoroughly revised, and
in some instances the premiums
were reduced. For years the asso-
citation has been compelled to pay
out several hundred dollars more
from premiums than is returned by
the state. The law provides that
no county fair in the state can be
reimbursed more than $1,700 each
year.
Probably no county fair in the
state will have more complete Al
Club exhibits than will the Stearns
county exhibition. More than 500
boys and girls of the county have
completed their projects this year
and most of them will be exhibited
in this city next week.
Realizing the existing conditions
the fair officers have cut the ad-
mission prices to very low level.
All children of IL years and under
will be admitted to the grounds
free every day and evening Of the
fair. In former years there has
been a charge of so cents for adults
afternoons with additional charge
for the evening. This year the
price will be SO cents for afternoon
and evening, with grandstand ad-
mission of 10 cents. A charge of
rs cents will be made for parking
cars. 4
Season tickets for $1.00 are now
on sale. This ticket will admit one
person to the fair both days pro-
vide for free admission to the
grandstand, afternoon and evening,
and free parking. for automobiles,
This ticket can be used by two per-
sons one day If desired.
The amusement section will be
unusual and should please. Care
has been used in purchasing the
free acts. Harness horse racing
has been placed back on the pro-
gram this year. The races. two

of the master entertainers of his
kind in the country today.
