teacher at Sandstone, are co-operat-
ing with the management in handling
the boys and girls department.. No

There will also be large exhibit
in the school department. Jens P.
Miller, county superintendent of
schools. is in charge of this depart
ment and he will be assisted by Vic
Zfebarth, superintendent at Pine City.
Cattle Exhibits.
Cattle exhibits this year are apt
to be lighter, due to the fact that few
cattle have been T. B. tested. The
law states that no cattle can be ex-
hibited at any fair in the state I'M
less they have been tested for T. B.
within year. This has been the
law for many years. Due to the con-
troversy between the state sanitary
board and the county board over the
area test, most cattle owners in the
county did not test last fall, as they
were waiting to see If the area test
would be inaugurated. This will
also cut down the exhibits in the calf
club department. However, some
farmers have had their cattle tested
recently so they might be exhibited
at the fair.
A novel exhibit will be a colony
of beavers which will be loaned to
the fair by Sheridan Greig, game
warden of this district. The beavers
will be placed on exhibit through the
courtesy of the state game and fish
department.
