The Fifth annual fair under
the auspices of the Richland
County Fair association will be
held September "a, %, 20 and
30, 1910. If the present plans
OF the management are carried
out it will be the biggest and
best fair yet held by the associ-

on which day a large number
of former citizens of Wahpeton
and Richland county are ex
pected to be present. 1t is also

tits very doubtful if the peo
pie of Richland County realize
how much of an institution
they have in their midst, and
how much might be used for
their benefit.
The State School of Science
is now seven years of age, it
has five buildings, and offers
courses of study that are adap-
ted to almost every need of
children of the county or state.
The aim of the institution is to
offer courses for the boys and
girls living in the country who
have been unable to attend
school regularly. A girl can
come in here and take course
that will fit her to carry on any
of the work required in a home.
She can take cooking, dress
making, millinery, sewing, en-
broidering, or almost any other
phase of the work done in any
we'll regulated home. Or she
can take the preparatory work
of which she may have been
deprived while living OH the
farm where school terms where
short and roads bad, and the
preparatory course is run
where such is needed.
The same is true with a boy.
He eau get almost anything
that he needs upon the farm,
blacksmithing, carp entering,
woodwork, traction engine en-
gineering, or preparatory work
in case he has been deprived of
the privileges of school, and
both the boys aud girls get
this practically free, as their
board and room only costs So 80
per week. which is nearly as
little as were they at home.
Tuition is free, except in the
commercial department, and
there it is only from five to
eight dollars per term.
Every Citizen of Richland
County should visit this insti-
tuition, become familiar with it
and use it for his boys and
girls, because it belongs to him
as much as belongs to Wahpe
ton. 1t is a State Institution,
endowed with 10000 acres of
land and supported by the
State f2r the benefit of the chill
.dren of the state.
Phe personal and attain nent
of the membere of the faculty
of the State Science School is
bound to bring the school to
the place where it belongs, in
the front ranks of the Educa-
tional Institutions of the state
When President Smith was
superintendent of the Fargo
and Wahpeton City Schools
they held the highest rank
among the High Schools of the
State and under his guidance
the Science School will become
a leader i'm educational circles.

strangle hold on the head, the
other head took hold of Mr..
Spencer's thumb, and then for
the first time he realized that
the reptile had two mouths.
The extra head is near the re-

is about two inches long. The
extra head appears blind, but
rudimentary eyes can be seen

TY COBB. DETRoIr's GREAT PLAYER, ABOUT
TO SEND ONE OVER.
ing in mind the fact that his career is
still young, he has a right to expect
that his batting record will compare
favorably with anything in history.
He is commonly accorded the palm
when 1t comes to play in the outfield.
Solely in versatility and ability to play
other positions than the one which be
has occupied in the Detroit outfield
ever since his big league service be-
gan is he unquestionaby second to
the great Hans Wagner Of the Pirates
who while playing shortstop has
shown himself amply able to handle
to every ones perfect satisfaction any
position in either outfeld or infield. as
we'll as being able to do a night able
turn in the box when it is neces-
sary.
The average baseball player would
be content to secure and retain such
distinctions as have fallen to Cobb's
LOT. but not the Georgia peach" Sec
ond place in anything is always irk-
some to him. He is one Of the few
professional baseball players who
play more for the fun and the glory
than they do for the dollars they re-
ceive in their semimonthly envelopes.
1t is the ability Of Wagner to play any
position with equal facility that has
caused the baseball world to turn over
to him the big crown. and that crown
is obviously the one on which Tyrus
has his eye right now.
The Detroit public and. in fact. every
other American league city is familiar
with the fact that Cobb employs every
possible opportunity to practice at odd
times in other positions than the one
which he regularly occupies. Especial
" has he been giving attention to first
and second base and the pitching de-
partment
Nearly every morning during prac-
tice one can see Ty with catcher's
mitt practicing on first or second base.
and the stunts the southern wonder
pulls Off are little short Of what the
average major league does
In the warming up OF the Detroit
team Cobb Invariably takes a place
with the pitchers and practices all
sorts Of curves. including several va
rieties Of splitter and Eddie sum
mers' "knuckle bali.v His speed is ter
rife. though his control is usually the
butt Of tests from the real twirlers
who are there with him on the firing
line
Cobb suggested several times during
the last season that he be given op-
portuniiies at either first or second
base IN order 70 plug up some hoie on

Recently Cobb switched 10 center

new position gives Cobb much better
