board paid about $500 to All
The All inn is operated on a CO.
operative basis with children
bringing fresh fruits, vegetables
and other things and the board
furnishing other food. Last year
the expense for this boys and girls
activity was $120.
Mrs. Byron Whittet and two as
sistants have charge of preparing
the food while the youngsters do
the serving, dish washing, prepar-
ing of vegetables and keep the inn
clean. They are required to at
tend assembly at z p. m. each day
and must be in the dormitory,
which business men here equipped
with hunks last year, at 10 p. m.
When they are not caring for an
imals, which a majority of them
show at the fair, they are expect
ed to attend the demonstrations
which take place during a great
part of the fair.
Demonstrations in girls pro-
;ects begin Tuesday at $3.50 a. m.
at the club recreation room and
will continue all day with Miss
Amy Vessel, state All club lead
er from the University farm, ST..
Paul, as judge. Silent bread dem
onstrations are to be given first,
followed by canning, bread teams,
room furnishing and cake.
All club livestock will be judg-
ed Tuesday afternoon with own
ers of animals showing them in
the ring. Harold L. Searles and
William E. Morris, both of Uni
versity Farm, are the judges.
Wednesday at 9 a. m livestock de-
monstrations will given south of
the All building and that after
noon All judging contests will be
held.
Most impressive feature of the
All program is the candlelight
ceremonial service which will be
held south of the All building
Tuesday evening, weather permit
ting. Parents and others are in
vited to attend.
Thursday afternoon All young
sters as we'll as other stock ex-
hibitors will parade their animals
before the grandstand. Many Of
the clubs also plan to have floats.
In the main exhibit building the
whole north side of the east wing
will be devoted to All booths, in
cluding an all-county booth and
one on weeds besides individual
booths by the Clements, Seaforth,
Wabasso and Belview clubs on
such topics as heath and conserva-
ton. The Paxton Farmers club
and perhaps other clubs will also
have booths.
Mr.. Searles also has been en-
gagged by the board to judge dairy
cattle and H. G. Zavoral and Mr..
Morris will judge hogs and beef
cattle. A. c. Smith is to select the
poultry prize winners while John
A. Evans is to place the ribbons
on field crops. All are from the
U farm. Mrs. R. E. McCullum will
judge fancy work, flowers and art
work while Mrs. Florence A. Jones
of st. Cloud will select winners in
the culinary department.
With practically every superin-
tendent in the fair association cry
ing for more space for exhibits in
their department, the need for
more building space is evident to
board members. Apparently every
available inch of display space
will be taken up.
Not to be outdone by rural and
household exhibitors, an unusually
large number of machinery, auto
mobile, refrigerator, radio, stove,
washing machine and other equip
ment dealers will have displays in
the main exhibit hall, in private
buildings, in tents and in the open.
Realizing the advertising oppor-
tunity afforded by the fair, several
dealers from outside Redwood
Falls are taking space this season
for the first time in several years.
Demands for concession space
have been heavy and large num-
ber of shows, eating places and
games will be on the grounds,
operating under strict regulations.
Most outstanding feature of mid
way probably will be Steer Mon
tana, a roam Polled Shorthorn,
who tips the scales at only 20
pounds short of two tons and
stands higher than a tall man. He
is owned by Jack Guth of Baker,
Montana, who shows him on a
strongly built platform and claims
he is the largest steer in the world.
With one new bicycle as chill
dren's prize each day and car
prizes Wednesday and Thursday,
the fair board expects to pack in
enormous crowds. Last year gate
and grandstand receipts amounted
to $3,713.3O but this figure should
be greatly exceeded this year. A
total of $6,650.26 was taken in at
the fair last year, other major
items being from concessions, ST.
O99.30 and from entry fees, $801.-
55.
Premiums awarded last year
totalled $1,949.10 while music and
attractions cost $1,595 and purses
ran to $1,597.49.
To provide ample fire protec-
ton, the board has built two large
cisterns at the east and west
ends of the grounds, holding near
ly $4,000 gallons of water each.
Building repairs have been made
and the grounds are in excellent
condition.
AS has been the policy for the
last three years, the gate admis-
sion charge will be 25 cents and
everyone will be required to pay
except school children who will re-
ceive tickets from their teachers.
Ten thousand tickets are sent each
