A well-attended meeting of the
directors of the Stearns County Ag-
ricuhural Society was held in the
Community Club rooms last week
Wednesday evening, at which
time preparations for the pro-
gram of the 1885 fair to be held
August 18th, 18th and 18th, were
made.
Miss Moan Anderson, County All
Club Leader, Of st. Cloud, outlined
the complete All program and was
voted SIS as expense money for the
Saturday entertainment. She re-
ported that the following three one
act plays will be held at the fair:
Elmer" by the st. Joseph Club
Sod by the Albany Club, Oscar
by the Cold Spring Club. Miss An
derson asked the assistance Of fair
officers for the purpose Of block
ing 4-H competition in booths. The
directors voted $50 for All booths
to be divided equally among the
exhibitor clubs. The only prizes to
be given will be ribbons to denote
the first, second and third place
winners. 1t Is expected that twelve
clubs will prepare booths for the
fair this year.
Supt. Garland Taylor, Of st.
Cloud, reported that the County
Board of Commissioners had APP
propriated SIPS to be used for the
school activities at the fair. He al
so stated that arrangements are be-
ing made to stage the District Boy
Scout Jamboree at the fair, at
which time almost 1000 Boy Scouts
will be present.
Letters for concessions were ta-
bled, and the directors refused to
vote on any Of them, as 1t is their
desire to book only clean and moral
concessions, hence strict scrut-
my will be maintained at all times
over these outfits and only the best
viii be allowed to set up on the
grounds.
The directors have decided to
build this years fair around the
youth of the county, and in view OF
that fact Supt. Garland Taylor has
arranged a sport program, which
is published In another column of
this weeks Herald.
J. A. Schoenhoff, s. G. Schwarz-
bauer, and M. ]. Fleming were APP
pointed as a committee to work
with the Community club in an at
tempt to procure merry-go-round
from the village of Kimball. The
vehicle was obtained by the viii
lage Of Kimball through default
ed circus and 1t is said to be in
very good shape.
The board Of directors unani-
mously decided to accept the offer
of the Community club to hold the
annual flower show in conjunction
with the fair this year and voted
to offer the administration building
as the place to hold the same. The
All, st. Cloud and school bull Nings
will be used for youth f9ve-
ments.
The question Of holding horse
show and a building for the horses
and the housing Of poultry resulted
in meeting Of the directors at the
fair grounds. This win probably
necessitate changes and repair
work. Secretary ]. A. Schoenhoff
was instructed to Investigate the
possibilities Of securing relief work
to repair the buildings.
1t was stated at the meeting that
the fear Of Bangs disease and its
effect on the fair is false alarm
and will have no bearing on the
exhibition Of animals.
A rising vote Of thanks was ex-
tended to both Miss Anderson and
Supt. Garland Taylor for the ex-
cellent work they are contributing
to the fair this year

fair have been made as follows:
