At largely attended meeting of
the Community Club held last week
Thursday evening members voted
to hold a one-day Harvest Festival.
A date was not selected, however,

Der. Plans Jr program and ap-
pointment for committee work will
be made soon.
Another plan offered to the club

the plan has gained favor in most
communities. Secretary Gritzmach-
er was directed to write clubs Of
cities and villages in this area Of
fering plan for organization.
It was also unanimously decided
to close the store on Labor Day,
and the Community Club has had
signs printed to that effect. These
signs are given to every business
in the city and are to be postal in
conspicuous places.
In the matter Of roads, the Pres
ident appointed a committee con-
sisting Of George Fish, Roy Scott,
Ed Borgmann Fay Cooper, Mayor

All-Stars Lost
Game at Fair
Fairly Good Game Until
Ninth Frame When East
ems Run In 5 Scores
A LARGE ATTENDANCE
Winners Will Meet Melrose
All-Stars Sunday, Sept.
18th

Featuring a baseball game at the
fair, the st. Cloud All-Stars de-
feated the Kandiyohi AllStars by
the score of II to 4. During the
early innings, errors contributed to
the scoring, yet until the fifth inn
ing the game was on even terms.
The ninth inning proved to be bad
for the Kandiyohi aggregation, for
their opponents poled a bunch Of
hits to score five successive runs.
Neil Rengel st. Cloud, allowed
eight hits, well scattered, during
the nine innings, and he struck out
IL batters. Kampsen, who went to
the mound in the fourth frame,
struck out nine of the Eastern
Stearns All-Stars, including Fish
er, former big Lacquer.
George Fisher of Avon, former
Cardinal star playing second base,
ard center field, was high slugger
for the game with home run,
triple and single in five times at
bat. Kampsen and B. Larson were
high for the Kandiyohi aggregation
with two hits in three times up.
Wahlberg, st. Cloud fielder, also
made two in three chances, both
doubles, while Winter poled out a
triple and single in four visits to
the plate.
Interest was keen in this game
which was a forerunner to con-
test between the winners and the
Melrose All-Stars to be played on
the local diamond, under the aus
pices of the Fair association. Next
Sunday, September 9Th, the st.
Cloud team will play Elrosa at FL
rosa, Kampsen will be on the
mound, with his champion team
back of him, which will enable him
to give a much better account Of
himself than that which was pro-
vided Sunday. This should prove to

Attempted Truck Hold.
Up Fooled By Officers
Nash Finch Truck Driver Selected
As Victim-LOcal Officers
Provide Protection

An attempted holdup Of Nash
Finch truck caused considerable
excitement for law enforcement Of
ficers Of both Douglas and Stearns
Counties Monday night.
The first attempt to hold up the
truck driver occurred at Brandon,
when a hurley individual tried to
force passage on the trip to st.
Cloud. He was denied the right to
ride in the truck and became abus-
i've. Later, however he left and en-
tered car with two other men.
The driver then left for Alexan-
dria, and somewhere between the
two places they again attempted to
stop the truck. They were not sue
cessful, however. The driver then
went into Alexandria and notified
the Sheriff, who placed two depu-
ties in car to proceed the truck,
while he rode in the cab with the
driver.
About one-half mile east Of Osa-
kis the men again attempted to
stop the truck, but evidently saw
the driver had company and made
their getaway.
. The Douglas County officers ac-
companied the truck driver to this
city, where Patrolman AL Freder-
ickson and Deputy Sheriff George
Fish were notified. They accompan-
led the truck to st. Cloud. The driv-
err had made collections along the
route during the day and had a
considerable sum of money with
him. It is believed the men knew
this and were endeavoring to re-
lieve the driver Of the cash.
The drive from this city to st.
Cloud was made without molesta-
ton.

Stearns Fair
A Successful
Farm Show
Agricultural and Other Ex-
hibits Large and Of
Splendid Quality
LARGE CROWD SUNDAY
400 Alters Take Part In Club
Activities At The
Fair

Agricultural and department ex-
hibits at the Stearns County Fair
this year were greater and Of bet
ter quality than those of prior
years. Increased interest among
exhibitors made this one Of the
most successful fairs ever held in
the county.
Attendance records were not
broken Saturday, for the crowd
was very small but on Sunday the
attendance was estimated at 5000
adults and children.
Considering the drouth the agri-
cultural building was well filled
with excellent produce of the farm.
Entries in this department came
from all parts of the county. One
of the interesting features was the
farm display entered by Gust
Quade. This exhibit included all of
those things produced on the Quade
farm during the year. It was a
splendid exhibit.
Poultry and livestock divisions
had large entries and barns were
filled to capacity. For the first
time in several years special at
tention was given to the horse div
ision, with many splendid ami
mails entered for show.
. The flower show, under the sup
ervision of p. v. Michels and p. ].
Swenneby, drew hosts Of specta-
tors with splendid comment from
all. This was truly a wonder
full display. Mr.. Michels and Mr..
Swenneby labored hard to make it
a success. The rock garden and
waterfall was splendidly built and
proved to be a popular scene to
fair visitors.
The program opened Saturday
afternoon with platform attrac-
tions before the grandstand. Dur
ing Saturday evening the All pa
geant was added as a feature at
traction. This event took place i'm
mediately after the showing Of the
professional acts. The pageant,
1.-THE Spirit of American Music"
was cleverly depicted with slides
and period acts of both All boys
and girls and adult groups. The
pageant displayed the history of
music from the earliest American
periods. The successful presenta-
ton of this event was due to the
untiring efforts Of Miss Moan An
derson, Home Economics leader.
Sunday afternoons program in
cluded a baseball game announce
ment of which Is made in another
column. And on Sunday evening
the show eliminated with splendid
display Of costly fireworks.
We are unable to publish win
ners in the divisional departments
this week, owing to the fact that
the list has not been completed.
The winners in the livestock, poul-
try, farm, home and flower divis-
ions will be published next week.
Two thousand dollars in prem
iums will be distributed to those
who placed first, second and third
with entries in any of the divisions.
A trip through the various build
ings would have been worthwhile
to everyone-it would give them
somewhat of an idea of Stearns
county's farm magnitude.
