NGRIGULTURAL ASSOCIATION'S SEVENTEENTH ANNUAL FAIR The Best and Largest Exhibit Ever Gathered in Itasca County will Be Shown at the County Fair Grounds Friday and Saturday. The seventeenth anual fair of the Itasca County Agricultural association will be held the last three days of this week and will prove one of the biggest and best in the his- tory of the county. Every effort is being made to have everything in first class shape at the grounds and while the racing feature may have to be omitted it is believed by the management that the exhibits will be so complete that the absence of that feature will not detract from the success of the fair. Upward of one thousand dollars will be distributed in prizes and every farmer and gardener in the county should have something to display. The large premium list should be a live incentitive to exhibitors and as every department is fully covered we believe the exhibits will far exceed those of past years, We publish the premium list in full and call the attention of our readers to the com- pleteness of each department.

The returns from yesterday’s pri- mary election are coming in very slow to tell with any certainty just who the candidates are who will win out. * As there is no contest among the Democraite candidates the entire ticket won and from the light vote cast one ¢annot help but believe many of the Democrats voted the Republi- can ticket. In the Ist, 2nd and 4th commissioner districts Messrs. King, O’Brien. and Mullins will be the leading candidates while Trebilcock in the third and McWilliams in the 5th have no op- position. Our next board of county commissioners will be the best ever. County Auditor Spang, Register of Deeds McGowan and Clerk of Court Rassmussen were nomineted without opposition. Advice received from Duluth and elsewhere throughout this Congres- sional district points to the defeat of Congressman Bede and the nomina- tion of @. B. Miller by an overwhelm- ing majority. Mr. Miller shows a good increase over Bede in every precinct so far heard from in Itasca county. The returns so far received are given below and may safely be taken as an index of the final result.

What other organization is there that works for nothing all year, when the glory. of a successful cul- mination of all its plans is evidenced best by a lot of happy people. What other means could so well accom- plished the pleasant and profitable task of gathering together multitudes of our best citizenship in our city, where merchant and producer may become better known to each other. Let us all get togather and make the year’s fair the best ever held in Itasca county. It-is to the personal interest of every resident of the county to attend a day or two of good fellow- ship will make life much more pleas- ant in the living, GRAND RAPIDS SCHOOLS OPEN \ ‘4 With-Largest Enrollment in History of Schools. The Grand Rapids public schools opened with a most satisfactore at- tendance in both the grades and high school. The enrollment for each building is as follows: High school 126, Central school 296, Forest Lake school 135. This makesa total of 557, the largest ‘enrollment for the opening week in view. SOCIETY. = Two Dollars a Year. the history of the local schools. A very significant fact connected with this enrollment is the excellent attendance in the grammar grades and high school, and it should be ! particularly gratifying to tlre patrons of the school to know that with two exceptions the entire membership of the seventh and eight grades of last year have returned for work. This is especia!ly commendable, for several of these pupils were not promoted and are now doing the work of their respective grades over again. The parents of this community are to be congratuiated on the interest they have manifested in the welfare of their boys and girls at this vital stage of their school life, as it is no uncom- mon occurance for the boys aad girls to drop out of school in considerable numbers in these grades. While the desirable condition mentioned above is largely due to parental interest, the local authorities are in no small way responsible, for without making the schools attractive and the work inviting the efforts of the parents in. many cases would fail, or at least become of a very strenuous character. During the past four years the high school enrollment for the opening week has grown from 41 in 1904 to 84 in 1908, the combined enrollment ia the eighth grade and high school from 65 in 1904 to 126 in 1908. It is a satisfaction to note that of the total number enrolled in the high school there are 39 boys, an increase of 25 over 1904 when the enrollment was 14 boys. Thereis no doubt but that the manual training and business courses maintained are largely re- ponsible for holding our boys in school, and there is no’ question but that these same courses now offered in the public schouls will be equally as responsible for the future success of these boys when they go ont into active life. The domestic science work has proven equally as inviting to the girls and this with the com- mercial branches offered is doing much to attract the girls and will be the means of developing the highest type of useful youe women. No man knowing the value of this practical work can feel that the money put into these departments of the school is money wasted. It is yielding and Will continue to yield large returns to this community and to its boys and girls. The senior class numbers twelve, nine boys and three girls.
