One of the new features of the fair is an industrial contest between the five schools of Willmar, Atwatex, New London, Raymond and Svea. Pre liminary contests are being held in these places this week and all the prize winning stuff in each of these contests will come to the county fair. As there are seventy-two prizes of fered in each of these preliminary contests, there will be 360 entries in this industrial exhibit at the Exposi tion Hall, which will be entirely apart from the regular exhibits. Satur day will be Industrial Day, when the schools of the county will be at the fair and many special features will be provided. Prof. George H. How ard of the State University will ad dress the girls and boys that day. The 1912 poultry exhibit promises to become the most extensive of any yet held in the county. A much larg er tent has been provided than was used last year. Prizes are offered both for fowls and chicks of each variety, and pet stock has been add ed. Mons Flesland of New London will be the Superintendent of this de partment. The tent will be erected on the hill back of the exposition hall and overlooking th* flats where the stock exhibits will be placed. It has always been the practice that all entries for prizes be made on the first day of the fair, which will also be done this year. However, any exhibitor who wishes to do so may fill out his entries on the blank pro vided on the last page of the premium book and mail to the Secretary before the fair. The entries will then be made and the tags be ready when the exhibitor brings his exhibits on the first day of the Fair. This will pre vent any long wait while the entries are being made. The stock entries must be made by the date mentioned in the book, to make sure that room be provided. Supt. Burns of the horse exhibit reports that a number of entries have already been made in his department, insuring a fine showing of fine bred horses. They will be housed in' a large tent. Two large tents have been provid ed for the cattle exhibit, and thirty pens will be constructed for the hogthe and sheep exhibit. These pens will be covered with a long canvas roof. The fair management provides straw and hay, but owners of stock must furnish other feed. It is to be hoped that the county fair idea will receive such an impetus this year that per manent stock barns and pens will be provided for the future. An annual show of the best stock in the county will be of immense benefit to the far mers of the county. The amusements of the fair will be very attractive, and the park will give them a fine setting. The free acts will take place on a platform near the band-stand every afternoon and evening. A fine display of fire works will be given each evening. The Willmar Military Band has been engaged for every day of the fair, the Sunburg Band will be there one day, and it is expected that the Pen nock Band will be there one day. The State Fair booth has been shipped back and will be re-erected in the exposition hail in the same shape as it appeared at the State Fair grounds, so that all the people of the county may see what it looked like. Space has been reserved in the ex position hall for two demonstration booths by the Industrial Department of the Willmar schools. A class of boys will work there in manual train ing and a class of girls in sewing. Every manufacturer and business man in the county ought to be repre sented on the grounds. The rental of booths or space is very nominail, and such exhibits will not only be the most valuable kind of advertising to the exhibitor, but are needed to pro perly show up the resources of the county. The Kandiyohi County Fair will be the index to the resources of the county, and if you have anything worth showing you should not miss the opportunity. Space will be provided in the ex position hall for township exhibits. Enterprising citizens of each town ship should club together and see how nicely they can show up the advan- tages of their locality,, There is not a township in the county that could not make a creditable showing and only needs the assistance of some of its boosting citizens to bring in and arrange an exhibit. Application for space should be made to the Secre tary as early as possible. Home manufacturers of ice cream, candy, bakery goods, cigars, etc., are assisting in paying for the fair by liberal subscriptions. It is not more than fair that those having conces sions on the grounds or elsewhere during the fair patronize the home in dustries as far as they possibly can, and sell home-made goods. The County Fair Is not expected to be a money-making institution, but the management expects to get suf ficient revenue to pa the actual costs of the fair. The small entrance fee to the grounds will help pay the ex penses. There may be a few close fisted individuals who will not pay a cent towards any public enterprise, but the larger share of the people will be glad to help pay their share. No big fair is ever held or built up without admission money. At the State Fair admission money is re quired of everybody, but no one thinks of objecting to pay that. More than eight hundred people attended the State Fair from this county, and paid 50c for admission each time they entered the grounds, and extra money for seats in the grand stand. No one in the county should begrudge the county fair the little fee that is required. HON. WM. E .LEE Favorite Progressive Candidate at Kandiyohi County Primaries next Tuesday. "Everybody's Leaning Lee-ward now." Anti-Tuberculosis Society. The Anti-Tuberculosis society held their regular meeting Sept. 3rd at the Commercial Club rooms. Bills to amount of $46.60 were allowed.

Further interest in the local work will be shown at the county Fair next week. Glanders Near Kerkhoven. Mr. Lyon, of the State Live Stock Sanitary Department, was in the city today.

Harry is popular with his comrades, and he has the profound sympathy of many friends in his niisfo'rtune. The State Fair Exhibit. Kandiyohi County's Booth in the Agricultural building at the State Fair grounds served admirably to advertise the county which was thegrove. main purpose for making the effort. It attracted a crowd all the time, day and evening, and the clever miniature farm caused it to be talked about more than any other county booth. For that very reason, likely, the judges absolutely ignored the booth in judging for beauty and attractive ness. They were there to please the greater number and they evidently did not wish to encourage an effort which might tend to discourage oth ers. John Alstrom 'and assistants, were kept busy all the time meeting the crowds attracted to the booth and handed out many thousand pieces of literature advertising the county. The following is the scoro of the products shown: Classes S Grain Sheaf Grain Corn Native Grasses Tame Grasses Forage Potatoes Stock Vegetables Culinary Veg.

On Tuesday, Sept 3, Vermont had its state election. This is a rock ribbed Republican state where the Democratic party has practically no organization. There were five can-, didates for governor whom received votes as follows: Fletcher, Republican, 26,259. Howe, Democrat, 20,350. Metzger, Progressive (bull moose) 15,800. Smith, Prohibition, 1,443. Suiter, Socialist, 1,181. All three leading parties make out that they are satisfied with the result. Taft probably got as much comfort out of it as anybody. Last Monday the state of Maine elected a Republican governor by a small majority: Haines, Republican, 70,880. Plaisted, Democrat, 67,848. At the suggestion of Col. Roosevelt the split of the republican party was postponed until after the state elec tion. With the Republican vote divi ded between Taft and Roosevelt it looks like a sure thing for Wilson in Maine in November, TBTTUARV" CHARLES SMITH.

Governor A. O. Eberhart made a swing around the circle in Kandiyohi county last Sunday. He arrived on the late train Saturday night in company with State Superintendent C. G., Schultz. In the morning they went aboard the touring car of J. F. Millard, who drove the car him self. The county superintendent of schools, W. D. Frederickson, accom panied the party. The first trip was made to the northwest corner of the county, where a stop was made at the young people's picnic in Glesne's The Synod and United Luth- eran churches were giving this fes tival for the benefit of their voung people's societies. The Governor's party arrived there about eleven o' clock. At the close of the sermon by Rev. T. 0. Tolo, the Governor was introduced by Hon. P. A. Gandrud of Sunburg, and made a speech to the GOV. A. O. EBERHART young people along the lines of Rev. Tolo's address, Trom this picnic the gubernatorial party left for Lake Andrew where they had lunch at the residence of Lars H. Larson. About three o'clock dedicatory exercises of the new school house in District 25 took place. There were violin solos by Prof. Swalin, piano solo by Miss Nelson and duet by Mesdames Nelson and Nordgren. State Superintendent Schultz was introduced by Superin tendent Frederickson and made a speech pertaining to school matters. He complimented the district by say ing that this was the finest one-room school house he had yet seen in the state of Minnesota. The Governor then spoke, giving an address along educational lines. An historical sketch of school district number 25, written by Ole Newman, was read by J. S. Christenson. The dedicatory address by the county superintendent gave the district credit for its enter prise and progressiveness in provid ing such a fine edifice for the educa tion of its children. The cost of the building and improvements will be close to $3,000. The gubernatorial party left the school house for New London where a meeting had been announced to take place at 4:30 o'clock at the pionic ground or park of that beautiful lit tle city. The Governor was intro duced by Dr. Oppegaard Mayor of New London. Quite a large crowd had gathered and the Governor made a talk along the same lines as he had at the other two stops. From New London the return trip was made to Willmar, where the war ty was entertained, at dinner at the J. F. Millard home. In the early eve ning the Governor spoke at the Pres byterian church and later at the Swedish-Baptist church. All in all, the chief executive of Minnesota put in a strenuous day and travelled about seventy-five miles by auto and made five speeches. There were quite a few Willmar people who attended the meeting at Lake Andrew—Peter Bonde, Chas. Wallin, H. J. Ramsett,'Ed. Sander son, O. A. Sandven, Sivert Benson, O. A. Jacohson, with their respective ladies. Some of these people also attended the picnic at Glesne's grove. The following extracts from Gov. Eberhart's speeches at Minneapolis Monday »are characteristic of his ut terances "We believe in publicity for the State. It has recived such publicity and it has resulted in an increase of a million dollars in the trust funds. It seems to pay. "Some of my opponents say they will sit in the Governor's office 10 hours a day for 365 days a year, including Snudays, and shake hands with the politicians.

"I believe in an employers' liability law and even if a man is guilty of contributory negligence, his wife and children should not be made to pay the penalty for it. "Less money for punishment and more money for prevention and train ing would be money well spent. "I am intensely interested in the work I have begun and shall devote the rest of my life to the task of try ing to better conditions of human life, "My opponents dwell so strongly on the subject of expense that they multiply the truth by two. Yet I have never heard one of them dwell on the fact that the equation of a human soul is greater by far than the equation of a dollar. "The Anti-Pass Law was enacted during my service in the Legislature. I believed in it then and I believe in it now. It was aimed at the influence of the corporation in politics, and* will never again be adopted. "The welfare and health of the mother and of the child is of far greater importance than the great est economic problem of' the day. The latter involves economic condi tions, the former involves human life and human souls and they are the measure of all value."
