Brand New Shingles
Ready Fer Yeu Now
Now is the time to get at that leaky roof and put on
new shingles or if the building isn't worth a new shin
gle roof, get some of our roof paper. We have both
"Reliable" and "Certainteed" Roofings, either of which
will do the work and do it well at a very low cost.
A car of Star A Star Red Cedars are now here and
have just been unloaded. They are beauties. They
lay easily with very little waste and if you put them on
with galvanized iron nails, the roof will last for from
25 to 30 years. Better get at this roof work right now
before the Spring rains come.
.Have two cars of dry Maple Wood on hand now too.

Change Character of 8ide 8hows
In an endeavor to make the amuse
ment festival at the Minnesota State
Fair, held last year just north of the
Lagoon, of an educational as well as
a recreational value, the Board of
Fair Managers has arranged to put
on a special show, carrying out that
idea. The Board is determined to
make the big Gopher Exposition a
leader in the character of its amuse
ments, as it has made it a leader
in the exhibition of live stock, ma
chinery, county displays, and other
products of city and country, and so
the change will be made.
"The World at Home" the name of
the big educational festival which is
to be staged- all during Fair week,
Sept. 7-12. As usual, it will be put on
north of the Lagoon, although the
name of the place is to be changed
.to Wonderway, so that the public may
catch more easily the significance
of the fundamental change. As a re
sult, the terms "Pike" and "Midway"
will not be used any longer. Seven
shows will make up this educational
festival, all of them with uniform
fronts, giving the general appearance
of a Roman Collonade. So much
space will they cover, that the area
on Wonderway may have to be on
to accommodate th

to settle on a homestead near Van
dalia, Mont, not far from Glasgow.
His many friends regret to see him go
but wish him success and happiness.
Owing to the reason that he is to

where the "happy" part of the play
comes in, which he probably will ex
plain to us later.

Nearly everyone In this vicinity has
been subject to various kinds of dis
eases as pneumonia chicken pox and
mumps. Others again are complaining
of bad colds but Leonard Rustad sure
ly has had his share of sickness and
no doubt has had the best reason to
complain of all, while he probably
says the least. He had an attack of
pneumonia and chicken pox at one
time, from which he had scarcely re
covered when he had an attack of
mumps and owing to his weak condi
tion from the results of the former ill
ness, he has been quite a sick boy,
but we are glad to state that he is re
covering and we all wish him a speedy
recovery.
