News, Libby
Weather conditions the past week
have been very good i'll this immedi-
ate vicinity While the chinook winds
did not continue to blow long enough
to take off all the snow, but there is
enough grass uncovered to give the
stock good feed. The country around
the east butte is reported clear Of
snow, except drifts, and Big Sage
creek is running. In the Marias river
country the conditions are not SO good
the chinook seems not to have had
much effect on the deep snow and the
cattle are inbad shape.-Chester Sig
nal.
The weather in this part OF the
country is great. Since Wednesday
a week ago the snow has been going
off the ground at good pace. AL
though we have had no chinook winds
in the valley but south of this city
in the Little Rockies the snow is re-
ported all gone The big range count
ry NORTH of town is also getting quite
bare but that section has not receiv-
ed any warm winds, the melting of
the snow is accredited to the balmy
spring weather which is at present
revailing.--Harlem News.
Harry Cosner is back from a trip
to the Missouri river country in the
vicinity of Rocky Point. He estim-
ates that there will be almost a total
| loss among unprotected range stock
| in that section. The snow is so deep
that it is almost impossible to move a
team it is over two months since
| the mail has got into Leedy. In the
| immediate vicinity Of Zortman the chi
hooks have taken off most of the snow
but after you get ten miles from that
place, it is up to your neck. Old

The Lord Hsgh Constable,

The lord high constable of England

Of Buckingham, it was forfeited in 1921
for high treason, and has never been

MINNESOTA NEWS
The State Fair.

st. Paul--1mpOrtant action of much
interest to the farmers Of Minnesota
was taken by the Minnesota State Fair
management recently, when it was de-
cided to materially increase the
amount of premium money offered te
county exhibits and to- individual ex-
: hibits of farm products.
Z The total of $4,000 heretofore offered
for county exhibits has been increased
to $4,000, and the state has been di-
vided into two divisions SO that here
after the newer northern counties will
not have to compete with the old
southern communities. The counties
of Chisaso, Anoka, Wright, Meeker,
Kandiyohi, Chippewa and Lac qui
Parle, and the counties north Of them.
will constitute the Northern Division,
and the counties south Of this row.
excepting Hennepin and Ramsey,
which are barred from competition,
will be the Southern Division.
Further the money will be divided
after a new plan. The sum of $3.50
is set aside for each division, and this
will be divided into five premiums:'
5000 for first; 1878, second; $3.50, third:
1925, fourth and 5000, fifth. Two more
most beautiful display and the best
arranged exhibit; the entire ten ex-
hihits being considered in this compe-
tition.
A somewhat similar plan has been
adopted in the distribution Of premium
money for several sweepstakes and col
lections classes in the farm and grain
divisions of the permium list. In the
collection of threshed grains" the
best exhibit of small grains,' the
! collection of corn husked and in
; stalk" and the farm exhibits instead
OF offering $100 to be divided pro rata,
; each exhibitor whose display scores
! IS points or more Will receive $40.
! while the four highest Will receive IS,
SC, 81 and 81, respectively.
! The object of this change is to en-
courage numerous exhibits. Under
the pro rata division of 500 it has
! been found that when many exhibitors
! are present the amount received by
each is so small as to discourage fur
Their exhibition. Under the new plan
! each exhibitor Who makes a really
good exhibit will receive $40, while the
best four will be given additional
money as Well as the ribbons
In corn the premiums have been
nearly doubled. Instead of first, Sec
ond and third of SO, s. and 81, there
are four premiums for each lots
SO, 81 and 81. Other minor changes
throughout the division OF agriculture
have been made with d view to better
nlent.
These changes are due to the recon-
me ndations and arguments brought
forward by J. NJ. Underwood, Of Lake
City, superintendent of the division,
who is earnestly DESTROYS of improv-
ing the farm displays at the state fair
Mr.. Underwood desires to make Still
more radical improvements as soon as

tural displays.
