COUNTY FAIR NOTES

A two days fair is. just about the right
size.
Memo Liebeler, whose Belgian stallion
was awarded the first prize and sweep
st AXE in its class, is proud of the re-
cognltlon the stallion was given by the
judges.
G.. A, Olson and j.. w. Pratten, two
prominent breeders of fancy stock at
Milton. were here with exhibits and
said the fair was far beyond their
expectations.
Louis Rose, a representative farmer
of Elgin township, had a display of red
top clover timothy and alfalfa that went
a long way toward settling the tame hay
question in the minds of many visiting
farmers.
The political advance agent of Prof.
college at Fargo, was here with postal
card souvenirs for the professors re-
publican g~ubernatorial aspirations next
year. He is a reformer, but seemed
prog ressive in the idea of canvasslng
county fairs.
Thos. Prior, a prominent Linden town
ship old pioneer, who since retiring from
farming, has acquired large real estate
and banking interests at Hannah, came
down to see the fair and took off his
coat and helped Secretary Groom
through the rush Of business on more
than one occasion.
Next year the fair management think
that Il fifty cent admission will save all
the trouble making change. On
Wedne sday Co. Com'r. Gjevre had to
make two auto trips, one to Osnabrock
and the other to Nekoma to get silver
currency for the fair management
Don't you think the fair was worth fifty
cents anyway?
M. L.. Sullivan, who had fine herds OF
P~olled-Angus and Herefords on the
fair grounds from his stock farm south
OF town, is able to foot up a long list OF
- awards. Mr.. Sullivan was accorded
the title of "Cyclone Mike" at the state
fair at Grand Forks and the way he
went after the blue ribbons here would
indicate that he is something of a
cyclone at county fairs too.
President Robert Meiklejohn and
Secretary B. E. Groom-and they are
both republicans, died -wool-de
serve something more than a leather
medal for the way in which both have
taken the business detail Of the fair in
hand from it's %incipiency until at least
forty-eight hours after the gates closed
on the departing crowd. Both stayed
in the game until the last chip had been
played and a shake hands on being
"dead game sports"

placed. If this cannot be conv1ently
done with the battleship as base
special craft. designed flor the single
purpose of affording a starting plane
for the machine and housind it at sea,
is easily within conception, and can
unquestionably be provided. Indeed, IN
the light of what has been done with
these flying machines" in this country
and Europe. it is futile to set any
limits to their military and vaval adap-
tation in contemplating the war-mak-
ing equipment of the future. The main
question at present is with reference to
the promptness with which the United
States takes Advantage of the inventive
genius of the period and places itself
in the front rank of the powers in re-
spect to this important detail of mill
tary preparedness.

WALLA WALLA DAY.

Just one month from today, Septem-
Der %, is Walla Walla day at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition. 1t is
high time that some real move is
made concerning the excursion that
is to go from here on that day. There
is an excursion going is there not
You know the answer. You have to
decide the matter 1t is up to you.
Whether or not Walla Walla is to
have creditable showing at the eX-
position is up to the people of the
city. Will there be enough public
spirited men in Walla Walla who will
give up one day and perhaps SIS, to
help Walla Walla along with the best
cured? We believe that there will be,
but their names should be signed on
paper so that the Commercial club
could know just exactly where the
thing stands
WaIla Walla did not celebrate the
Fourth of July because the money
was to be saved for an effort towards
the Walla Walla day at the fair The
Commercial club did not feel like
asking the business houses to dig up
twice. SO the exposition was chosen
The time for action has come. Talk
has been going on long enough now
although there is room for plenty
more along the same line Too much
enthusiasm cannot be stirred up. For

dress:
What in hell does this bowling
Wall street amount to? The country
doesn't care what happens to the
damned spectators. Everything is all
right out west around Danville."
Fowler then accused Cannon of con-
spring with Senator Aldrlch against
the house tariff bill. He said:

bare your contemplate false pretenses,
to expose your duplicity, treachery
and perfidy to the legislative body over

He concluded the excOriation with
the statement that if the republican

election it will be upon the grave Of

A WOMAN AS SCHOOL SUPER
lNTENDENT.

Out of sixty one hundred teachers
in the Chicago public schools, fifty six
hundred are women. Sixty per cent of
all the pupils are below the fifth grade
that is, generally speaking, under
eleven years of age-While ninety five
per cent are in the various elementary
grades.
The figures simply illustrate how
largely an affair of women and young
children the public schools are In
view of them the school boards recent
step-unprecedented, we believe in any
city of the metropolitan class-of put
ting a woman at the head of the public
school system seems rather reasonable.
No doubt boys of high-school age are.
on the whole, better managed by men;
but as high-schOol boys constitute less
than three per cent of the total school
attendance that fact does not enter into
this case. In public schools generally

lively to the sixty per cent of six-to-
ten-year-olds, which their relative i'm
portance hardly warrants.
Not that Mrs. Young is likely to di-
minish the consideration given to the
high school Probably she will be as
as women almost always
are. Her appointment, though unpre-
cedented, is we'll received. We sup
pose a good many thousand Chicago
men are entirely satisfied to see the
city's chief interest intrusted to her
hands but would consider the country
in peril if she were permitted to vote
along with men, who are capable 81

their capacity for politics by support

NAVAL AEROPLANES.
Are you going :

Despite the decision to postpone ac-
ton on the proposal to supply the navy
with aeroplanes of a special design. it
is not to be doubted that in season
these machines will be provided. Aerial
navigation is no longer an experiment
tai. though it is in its infancy No one
who reads can doubt that the day of
the aeroplane as we'll as of the dirigi-
bic has come. The army has formal
~ adopted the heavier than-air ma
chine for scouting and accommodating
purposes, having the best available de-
vice already in its possession as a be-
ginning. While the problem of adapt
ing this machine to naval uses presents
some difficult problems. it is virtually
certain that they will be solved. 1t
