TO COLLECT
EXHIBITS
Arrangements Being Made For
Some One to Represent Coun'
ty Fair Association in Ev-
cry Town in County.

land County Fair Association
is arranging with some one in
each town in the county with
whom exhibits may be left for
shipment to the fair. 1t is
much easier for a farmer to
take his exhibits of grains,
grasses, vegetables and fruit to
some one in his home town
than to ship them to Wahpeton
or take them in himself and
this arrangement will doubt
less aid IN securing a large ex-
hibit for this years fair. The
management wishes to make
the exhibit in all departments
ever 80 much larger this year
than in any year previous, for
several reasons; first, this is a
big year for crops and the ex-
hibits should be the best in the
history of the association as by
that means the county can best
be advertized. Second, from
the exhibits at the fair an ex.
hibit will be made up to send
to the Omaha Corn Exposition
in December and the same ex-
hibit will be sent to the State
Fair at Fargo next July. In
order to best advertise the
county's resources the finest
exhibit possible is wanted.
Every farmer in the county
should take interest enough to
send something in the way of
an exhibit to the fair as the
better the county is advertised
the greater the value of his
own land. If you have not re-
ceived a premium list write at
once to r. J. Hughes, Secretary
Wahpeton, N. D., and get one.
The following persons have
consented to collect exhibits in
their vicinity and ship them to
the fair.

GIRLS WON,MENLOST
 AT BASKET BALL
TWISTED GIRLS MET DEFEAT
Twas an Awful Shock Wouldn't At- tend Dance - Winsted-W Waterbury Mill River Mems Team Victorious. in Overtime Game.


 Last Thursday evening the girls bas- ket ball team, representing the Gilbert School, of Winsted, came to Canaan and met the Canaan girls basket ball team. They also met surprise. Furthermore, they met their Waterloo. Last year they easily defeated the Canaan girls and they expected to repeat the per formance Thursday evening. The Ca- naan girls have been practicing faith. fully, however, and have wonderfully improved in their playing, so much so that they defeated the confident ones by score of 10 tos
 The Canaan team was composed of Mrs. Brewer and the Misses Nelson, Finegan, Margaret Collins and Mary Collins. All played well, the basket throwing of Miss Nelson being promi- nent feature.
 The Winsted girls were greatly dis hearthened by their defeat and we hear that they resorted to tears to relieve their emotions. The score of 10to remained, however.
 But, come to think of it, it was con. siderable of jolt, after winning from fast teams in other parts of the state. to come to Canaan and meet defeat. It was just simply horrid of the Canaan girls to beat them, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves, so, there
 The Winsted girls claim that they were defeated by the fouls which were called on them. And the score shows that only seven fouls were called on that team while Il were called on Ca- naan.
 The visitors were invited to remain and eLjoy the dancing which followed the game but they just wouldn t and left the hall without asking the Canaan girls to drop in and see them the next time they visit Winsted.
 The Mems Game
 On Saturday evening, Waterbury. Winstej. Mill River. etc., under the guise of Mill River team came to town to do hsttle with the Canaan mems team. The Canaan boys offered no ob- jections to the ringers" however, and the struggle began. It was the most hotly contested game of basket ball ever seen in Canaan, fast and furious from start to finish and rather rough at times. The. visitors expected an easy victory but, although they won, it required their utmost exertions.
 At the end of the first half the score was to in favor of Canaan and the second half ended in a tie l5 to 15, shortly afterward one of the so-called Mill River team threw basket and the game was won by score of IF to 15.
 The Canaan team was composed of |. Scott. A. Scott. McCabe. Stanton, Wigglesworth and Dempsey, the latter succeeding Wigglesworth whose knee vas injured by fall in the first half.

Interstate Commerce Commission,
In Annual Report, Suggests
Methods of Coping With Grasp
ing Corporations.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 81.
In enumerating certain amend
ments to existing laws which II
deems desirable, the interstate
commerce commission in its an
nual report, made public today,
places foremost the urgent need
of a physical valuation of the in
terstate railways of the country.
The report says that il rates es-
tablished by the commission are
to be successfully defended wheA
attacked by the carriers, some
means must be furnished b.
which, within reasonable limits, a
value can sbe established which
shall be binding upon the courts
and the commission.
The report also urges that some
method be provided by which rail-
roads can be prevented from ad-
vancing their rates or changing
their regulations and practices to
the disadvantage of the shipper
pending an investigation into the
reasonableness of the proposed
changes.
Referring to the adoption by
the National Association of Rati-
way Commissioners of a uniform
code of car demurrage rules, the
report says that 1t is estimated
that the general enforcement of
these rules will be equivalent t.
the adoption of 100000 cars to
the country's available car supply.
The sum of S304,233 has been
collected during the year in fines
for violations of law by carriers
and shippers. These fines fol
lowed indictments for Relating.

universe, and swinging in behind
the stranger, will dart straight for
the sun.
But unlike the case of the COM
ct we all will be shot like a
giants cannon ball into the mott
en- mass, and perhaps clear
through it. If the latter, we will
come out on the other side, black
and dead, like the other ghosts of
worlds that once teemed with life
and now threaten us.
This. in brief, is Prof. Lowell's
theory on the end of life. He is
not yellow" astronomer, and he
has science to back him in this
new and startling view.
We cannot tell the time of our
planets end, he declares, but we
have an idea of what will happen
1, just before the earth hurtles into
the sun. 1t will come, as the BIZ
BILE foretells, Gin a moment; in
the twinkling of an eye."
But If our planet-ghost, which
finally entices us to our death, is
as large as the ghosts which make
other planets tremble, men like
Lowell will be able to see it 81
YEARS AWAY!
Twenty-seven years of terror
will ensue between its discovery
and the end of time. Children
will be born into the maddened
world who will be grown men and
women with the day of their fate
sealed to the hour, the minute,
and almost to the second! Divine
promise will be mankinds only
consolation. Wealth, piled up,
will be worthless.
There will be reign of fear
and terror the like of which never
has come before, nor could it be
imagined now.
4 This end may not come in this
cycle, or in 100000 years from
now, but it's coming some time.
Prof. Lowell and many other star
students are sure of this.
Death will be painless, though.
There will be a sight in the sky
like that of hundred suns at
midnight. The moon will fade
away, and this great light, the
treacherous, burning ghost-planet,
will lead the earth on, by mean of
gravity, into the sun with it.
So far there is no direct dis
turbance in the realm of space to
cause men like Prof. Lowell to be-
lieve our end is coming soon, but
the knowledge of how it is going
to come will prove an unusual
and picturesque revelation.
