BEACH Interstate FAIR
WAS A HUMMER

The Beach fair was a revelation to a
good many people in this locality, of
what enterprise and a progressive spirit
can accomplish.
Six weeks before the 21st of Septem-
Der; the opening date, the idea of hold
ing an Interstate fair first occurred to
the projectors. When the day arrived
the fair managers had purchased 100
acres of land for fair purposes, had
fenced the grounds, made a fine half
mile race track, built a good grand
stand, SO stalls for stock, 16 box stalls
for race horses and had everything
completed that was necessary for the
opening of the fair.
A choice collection of the finest
grains and corn that could not be ex-
celled anywhere in the United States.
was shown, besides a profusion of
every kind of vegetable that can be
grown. The domestic departments
were not neglected and the enterprising
women of Beach and vicinity furnished
an exhibition of choice cookery, ~jellies,
jams. canned fruit, fancy work, patch
work, quilts, (these last dear to every
masculine heart for old sake,s SAX e)
that would shame many an older in
stitution.
The effect of the fair was to arouse
enthusiasm, emulation. People who
came and saw. went away saying.
"AlI these things, and even greater
than these. l will accomplish and
thus the fair was a great object lesson,
arousing in each spectator a desire to
excel.
That Dickinson, the oldest city in
this section, and with it's unparalleled
opportunities and facilities, does not
give a great annual exhibit OF it's re-
sources. is a matter of wonderment
and regret to its warmest friends. A
city of this size and position should
not allow these younger towns alone to
do so much toward advertising and ex-
| plotting this section.

Washington, D. c., March 4.-Im-
following the administra-
tion of the oath of office by Chief
Justice Fuller, President Taft, in fine
voice, began the delivery of his in
augural address, which is given below
in full:
Ny Fellow Citizens:
Any one who takes the oath have
Just taken must feel a heavy weighI
of responsibility. If not, he has no
conception of the powers and duties
of the office upon which he is about
to enter, or he is lacking in a proper
sense of the obligation which the
oath imposes.
The office of an inaugural address
is TO give a summary outline of the
main policies of the new administra-
tion, so far as they can be anticipat-
ed. l have had the honor to be one
of the advisers of my distinguished
predecessor, and, as such, to hold up
his hands in the reforms he has initi-
ated. l should be untrue to myself,
to my promises and to the declarations
of the party platform upon which
was elected to office, if did not make
the mainteance and enforcement of
those reforms a most important fea-
ture of my administration. They
were directed to the suppression of
the lawlessness and abuses of power
of the great combinations of capital
invested in railroads and in industrial
enterprises carrying on interstate

the swearing i'm of the President and
Vice President 1t is as much private
business concern as a strret-car line
or a department store. The Chairman
of the National Committee, of which,
ever party happens to be in control
applnts the Chairman Of the Inaugur-
a! Committee, usually selecting a we'll
known business man of the Capitol.
The latter thereupon names his sub
committees, who in turn hustle around
collect the money from the business
firms and Individuals of the city, and

Taft Takes the Oath.
After all had been seated in the
senate chamber a hush fell upon
the crowd. Chief Justice Fuller
left his chair and advanced to-
ward the places occupied by President
Roosevelt and President-elect Taft.
Mr.. Taft promptly rose to his feet and
met the white-haired Justice at the
center of the stage. James II. Nc
Kenney. Clerk OF the Supreme Court
advanced with a massive copy of the
Bible, and almost before the vast gath
ering of people knew what was trans
piring. Mr. Taft had taken oath of Of

distinstly after the Chief Justice;
"I do solemnly swear that | Will
faithfully execute the office of Presi-
dent of the United States, and will, to
the best of my ability, preserve, protect
and defend the Constitution of the
United States"

That the crop for the coming sea-
son will he one of the most produc-
tive in the history of the country is
indicated by the glowing reports of
farmers from all parts of the counN.
Weather conditions the past week
have been ideal for the growing
crops. particularly the wheat, and the
rainfall encouraging. owing to the
abnormally short supply of moisture
during the last crop season, a great
er amount of precipitation will be
necessary for this seasons crop if it
comes up to the average of the last
ten years. As has been stated before
by observers of the weather conditi-
ons. a rainy or rough February and
March are usually followed by a COM
paratively mild and rainless April and
May. and almost certain good showers
in June and even as late as July.
However, should the warm weather
be too continuous through the day
without the offsetting effects of cool
nights the result might be somewhat
discouraging to early fruit and
shrubbery, as was the case three years
ago.
some farmers have practically fin
ishcd seeding spring wheat on sum-
mer fallow left over winter for that
purpose. While there has been some
spring barley sown, probably the bulk
