me program arranged for the
Stearns county fair to be held in
this city July I, 2, and 4, is so
vastly different from the ordinary
county fair entertainment that it
should have an appeal to people of
all ages, tastes and conditions.
The grounds have been thorough
ly overhauled, the fences have been
moved in; tbs west gates have been
permanently closed, and the build
ings put in first class condition for
a real worth while exposition.
Saturday July 1, will be entry
day. In former years no admis-
sion has been charged at the gate
on entry day. In past years many
people have viewed the fair at
length on entry day and have not
returned.
Under the plan this year all
adults entering the grounds except
those actually taking part on the
program must pay admission at the
gate. The Fair Association has
placed season ticket on sale for
the price of $1.00 for one person all
four days of the fair, or three per-
sons one day. Ut is understood that
the old time ticket system will be
dispensed with. On paying en-
trance fee the adult will be stamp
ed on the wrist showing the date
for which they pay. The color of
the ink will be changed each day.
Nominal charges will be made for
the grand stand and auto parking
inside the gate. Free parking space
is provided in the space gained by
moving in the fence.
All Riddles will be admitted free
all days.

tertainers extraordinary, will furn-
ish the platform free acts.
