BIG ATTRACTION FOR FAIR.
Two Flights Will Be Made Each Day
in Airship.

One of the stellar attractions at the
state fair in Fargo next July will be a
real airship-an airship that flies.
The executive board of the North
Dakota State Fair association met at
Fargo in Secretary Wilson'S office and
discussed terms with w. F. Lester,
manager for Charles J. Strobel Of To-
ledo, Ohio. owner and inventor Of the
airship. Mr.. Lester wanted an ex-
tremely high price for his attraction,
but the board was convinced that it
will be a splendid feature of the fair,
and they finally closed the contract.
The airship will be on exhibition
during the entire week of the fair and
will make two flights each day at the
fair grounds. 1t will also make flights
over the surrounding country. Mr..
Strobe has repeatedly proved that he
has navigable airship and has made
flights in all the largest cities in the
United States.
His airship consists of huge conf.
cal-shaped gas bag to which is attach
ed, by wires, a light framework, bear
ing gasoline motor and large fan
shaped propeller and rudder. The air.
ship can run against strong wind,
and the inventor has perfect control
over it.
The airship will undoubtedly be the
best amusement feature of the fair.
1t will be educational as well.

INSTITUTES IN DEMAND.
Supt. Hoverstad Has to Turn Down
Many Calls Of Farmers.

The farmers institute corps report
that never in the history of institute
work in this state has general inter-
est in the work been so marked, or the
institutes so successful, as this win
ter. Many calls for institutes have
had to be refused, owing to lack of
time in which to cover all the points
desiring them.
Supt. T. NJ. Hoverstad. formerly of
Minnesota. is enthusiastic over the re-
suit of the winters work up to date.
A large proportion OF the Institutes
are held in the northeastern half of
the state. This is partly due to the
fact that that section of the state is
more thickly settled than the south
western portion, and due also in part
to the fact that in that section, partic-
ularly the Red river valley, the farm
ers are beginning to appreciate the
serious condition of their land owing
to loss of humus through constant
wheat cropping, and the introduction
Of noxious weeds. particularly the
Canada thistle.

garding lndeterminate Sentence Law

On Feb. 1. in an open letter to
Warden Hellstrom of the state peni.
Tertiary, Attorney General McCue
stated that in his opinion the indeter.
inmate sentence law, passed by the
last legislature of North Dakota, was
invalid, and that all prisoners sen.
fenced under it must serve out their
maximum sentence.
Attorney General McCue stated the
law was invalid for the reason that
it provided for no board with the al.
thority to determine how long prison
ers sentenced Unfortunately should
serve.
Judge Charles A. Pollock takes is.
Sue with the attorney general on this
point. He thinks the law is explicit
concerning the powers of the pardon

serving indeterminate sentences. and
that the intent of the legislature is
clear.
'Mr. McCue's opinion nor my opin>
ion does not alter the law" said
Judge Pollock. "The supreme court
must determine whether the law is
sound. But I think am right. and
l will keep on sentencing prisoners to
indeterminate terms until the gu.
