new RACING
CIRCUIT
Is Organized at WdtertOWn
Meeting
BETTER HORSES WILL Be SECURED
State and BroOkings County
Fair Dates Incorporated

F. j. Carlisle, z. c. Olson, M. G.
Carlisle, +. l.. Squirting and A. e.
Chamberlain were at Watertown
Thursday, where they met with dele
gates from Redfi Id, Clark, Clear Lake
and Huron s. d., and Candy and Mar
SHALL Minn., and formed the South
Dakota and Minnesota Racing circuit.
All or the above towns, together with
Brookings, are the seats of county
fairs, with the exception of Huron,
which has the state fair and the OBJ
Ject OF forming the circuit was to Sc.
cure a better grade of races for the
different fairs.
The following dates for the circuit
were agreed upon: Redfield, Septem-
ber /, and 3; Clark, September 6,
Z and s; Clear Lake, September 9,
10 and IL; Huron. state fair, Septem-
ber 10, II, Is, 16 and II; Brookings,
September 21, %, % and "a; Mar
shall September 20, 80 and October /;
Candy, October 6, and s.
The above series Of race meets
should be very attractive to horsemen,
as it will extend over six weeks, with
short railroad jumps and it should
draw some of the best horses in the
Northwest. Other attractions, such
as carnival companies, could be Sc
cured to play the entire circuit at a
greatly reduced cost and in this way
the fair associations will be able to-
give their patrons more amusement
and of better grade.
1t was originally planned to have
the Brookings county fair one week
earlier than the above dates, but it
was discovered that the Minnesota fair
will be one week later, the second
week in September, next year and this
would also make the South Dakota
state fair a week later, bringing 1t
into conflict with the BroOkings fair.
The Brookings fair will begin on Tues.
day, the same as this year, and close
on Friday.
The racing association just formed
will consist of the president and sec
retary of the local fair associations
with the secretary of the state fail
as secretary with power to call meet
ings. M. G. Carlisle was chairman O
the Watertown meeting, but at thai
time no officers were elected.

WILL ERECT TABERNACLE.

Work will be started next week on
the tabernacle which will be used for
the Lowry evangelistiC meetings. As
we mentioned some time ago, the
building will be just across the street
from the Register office, Oh .he old
Nj. r. church corner, and will be con-
structed in order to make it warm
and comfortable in cold weather.
Rev Lowry is now holding series
of meetings in Watertown, where he
is meeting with great success. We
quote from the Public Opinion of Mon
day:
The largest audience ever gathered
in the tabernacle assembled last night.
The services all day were well at
tended and deep interest was taken
in them. A special effort to raise the
expense account met with success.
The second meeting for men only,
was held yesterday afternoon. Fully
POO men were there and at the close
of powerful appeal by Mr.. Lowry
nine men accepted Christ.
In the evening twenty-four more
took stand for Christ after hearing
a wonderful sermon on, The Second
Coming of Christ"
The house was filled at the meeting
for women at the Nj. L. church. con-
Quoted by Mrs. Moody. 1t was help
full and many were inspired to a
greater life of service for God and the
home.
The music all day was splendid, the
chorus being large and at their best.
Mr.. Moody's solos and the duet by
Miss Harris and Mr.. Moody were es-
pecially fine. Mr.. Hagman and Mrs.
Wood rendered duet very sweetly at
the womans meetings.
Many have been the words of ap-
prOval for the helpful talks given by
Rev. Mr.. Lowry on Saturday after
noon. Tonight the subject will be,
pleasures of Sin for Season" or,
The Gospel Side of the Amusement
Question
Tomorrow will be a day of fasting
and prayer. Cottage prayer meetings
will be held in the homes, after which
at as nearly 10 o'clock as possible, a
meeting will be held i'm the tabernacle

THE OPEN AIR POULTRY HOUSE

The open air poultry house has be-
come a fixture in modern poultry hus-
bandry. We formely thought that we
had to keep our hens warm to get
the best results which required houses
to be artificially heated. The modern
poultry house is single boarded and
tight with practically an open front
containing both cloth and glass, and
instead of costing from four to seven
dollars per hen, need not cost, even
with the present high prices Of lum-
ber, to exceed two dollars per hen,
and in many instances even a less
amount.
There may be some questions of
doubt in the minds of certain poultry
men as to the advisability of using
cloth over some of the window open
ings in place of glass, particularly
from the fear than the hens will suf-
fer from the cold. 1t is a surprising
fact which we have demonstrated in
our experiments covering three years
where have been comparing houses
otherwise similar, one containing
glass. another cloth, and still others
with both cloth and glass, and one
without either, that we found or an
average during the winter, the tenn
perature of the house with the cloth
windows was only about one and one
half degrees colder than thu house
with glass windows. The cloth win
dow house was dryer and contained
purer air. The hens have been, as
rule, healthier and have given us
our best general results as compared
| to the house with glass windows. In
other words, we have found That al
though comfort is important and that,
that, other things being equal, the
very cold house would be less desir-
able, nevertheless, hens will do far
better in cold, pure air than they will
in warm, impure air; that fresh air
is OF more Importance than warmth
if we cannot have both. Inasmuch
as glass lets in about three times
as much sunlight as cloth, IL is de-
sirable to have both cloth and glass
in front of the house. Without pure
air in a poultry house. a poultryman
cannot stay long in the business un.
less he has a large bank account to
foot the bills. Low vitality In the
breeding stock which will result in
infertile eggs and weak chickens will
soon put the poultryman out Of bust
ness.-Prof. James e. Rice, Poultry
Husbandry. Cornell Agricultural col
lege.

Nearly HOPELESS

insane asylum, slapped him on the back
and said: swell, old man, you're all
right. You can run along and write
your folks that you'll be home in two
weeks as good as new"
The patient went off gaily to write his
letter. He had it finished and sealed,
but when he was licking the stamp it
slipped through his fingers to the floor,
lighted on the back of a cockroach that
was passing, and stuck. The patient
hadn't seen the cockroach-what he did
see was his escaped postage stamp zig
tagging aimlessly across the floor to the
Dashboard, wavering up over the base
board, and following crooked track up
the wall and across the ceiling. In de-
