SWHY SHOULD I USE
CUTICURA SOAP?

There Is nothing the matter with
my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, 1t
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than q generation it's delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered 1t the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1t all the
advantages of the best Of toilet soaps.
It is also invaluable In keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
danGruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that Of ordinary toilet
soaps, It is prepared with such care
and Of such materials, that It wears
to a wafer, often o~utlasting several
cakes Of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth Of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cuticura,'

WASHINGTON.-Recently there has
W been a distinct revival here Of in

z. The organization in New York

turnips and rutabagas, carrots
several head of cabbages, par
ships, and several other products
including a sample Of sand vetch
which The Tribune is more fully

Mr.. Skinner won seven first
premiums on his load and two
second premiums.
The only township occupying a
booth Of it's own and making ex-
hibits in same entirely from it's
own fertile lands was North Star
township, and the exhibit was
most certainly a credit both to
the fair and to those who were
responsible for their township
being so we'll represented. About
every farm product that could be
raised here was in the booth and
a good many of the exhibits drew
premiums.

a wreath of flowers made out of

was enclosed in a glass frame.
This was exhibited as a novelty
and was not contesting for any
Of the premiums. It was forty

schools and faculty and many

exhibit of school work that would
be hard to be equalled anywhere
in the state. The parents are
always very much interested in
What the children are doing in
school, and the booth in which
the school exhibits were placed
was crowded during both days.
Much credit is also due to Mrs.
C. E. Pierson of this city, instruc-
tor in water color painting, who
together with her pupils made a
splendid exhibit. In addition to
some real good work she had
pictures painted by her pupils
during their first term, second
term, third, fourth and fifth and
by looking at same one could
readily see the marked improve
ment made by the beginners
from the start. This exhibit at
tracted a great deal of attention.
Mrs. Costello had about a
dozen of her oil paintings on ex-
hibition, and they were master
pieces in their line, creating a
great deal Of interest. It is
needless to say they won the
first premium on the collection
and several others premiums.
Miss Hattie Movius also had
several oil paintings on exhibition
which were unusually good and
drew two first premiums and

Burke Cs First Annual Fair Thursday and Friday Grand Success Success

The Bowbells band furnished
the music. The Kenmare band
had been hired for the occasion
but on account of the inclement
weather the fore part Of the
week the engagement was can
celled. The Bowbells band was
organized Friday morning, and
came out into the street to play
after rehearsing only a short
time at the Lyons opera house.
But the music it furnished could
not be excelled anywhere: It
was a credit both to itself and to
the fair.
The program at the fair
grounds was concluded with the
races, and the crowd then re-
paired back to the city from
which place some went home
and others attended the moving
picture show, wrestling match
and dance at the Lyons opera
house. The moving pictures
were the best procurable and
thoroughly appreciated, but the
wrestling match between A. B.
Corey Of Bowbells and S. A.
Stefonowicz, champion wrestler
Of South Dakota, in which Stef-
onowicz threw his opponent af-
ter IS minutes of hard tussling,
was the feature of the evening.
The dance drew a large crowd
and was we'll enjoyed.
The success of Burke county's
first annual fair is due much to
the work done by the farmers
throughout the county. AL
though the officers Of the fair
worked night and day for a week
or more before the event, .it:was
really the farmers who are en-
titled to credit for the big show
ing made. It could be noticed
that practically every head of
The Bowbells tribune. [volume] (Bowbells, Ward Co., N.D.) 1899-1969, 1911-10-13

livestock that came in was
hauled in wagons, the roads be-
ing too muddy to drive them.
Some farmers who had a nice
bunch of cattle and promised to
bring in five or six head, rather
than dissapoint the crowd loaded
two or three head on their wag-
ons and hauled them in from a
distance of all the way from 10
to % miles. Many others who
were unable to come in them
selves on account Of the large
amount of work at home, sent in
their exhibits with some member
Of their family or with some
neighbor, but we have yet to
hear of a single farmer who did
not do his best to make the fair
the biggest success possible.
The exhibits did not come in
from the territory adjacent to
Bowbells alone, but from every
corner of the county. Several
good exhibits which drew first
premiums came from the New
port country across the lake, ot-
hers from near Columbus, and a
great many from the hills as far
out almost as Powers Lake. The
premiums did not amount to a
great deal and it was not the
money to be made out of the
the prizes that induced the farm
ers to bring in their product.
It was their enthusiasm and
great desire to make Burke
county's first fair a success. No
one depended on the other fellow
to bring in the produce, but
everybody loaded the best he had
in his wagon and brought tin.
Not only did the farmers do
much hard work and undergo
many inconveniences to make
the fair success, but the untir-

oiAu anu CWo SpeCldI pIclIlIuIlIS.
-Four of the first premiums were
won on cattle, and his exhibit
was especially worthy of note.
He has made a specially of breed
ing blooded Jersey cattle and has
the finest herd of dairy cattle in
the county.
J. E. Emerson of North Star
was another heavy exhibitor
and also won a number of first
and second premiums. Mr.. En-
erson did not specialize in any
particular class Of products, but
dove into everything. His prem
iums were won on practically all
farm products. He won all the
first premiums on hogs except
one, won several on cattle, one
on early potatoes, one on beets,
had the best assortment of cut
flowers and had exhibits in sev-
eral other departments.
Mrs. VIM. Glaspy of Carter
township showed her ability in
canning fruit and won all the
premiums with the exception of
one in the canned goods and
pickles department. She has the
reputation of being the most tal-
ented lady in this part of the
state in this line, and her win
nings at the fair were no sur
prise to the people who know
her.
Herman Endreson of this city
took all the premiums for hand
made harnesses. He had sever
al sets on exhibition and it
would take an expert to tell
them from the machine made
goods.
Mrs. F. J. Kroman took the
bulk of the premiums in the
department of flowers. She has
one Of the prettiest flower gar
dens in the city, and has beds in
bloom in north Bowbells, from
early spring until late in the fall.
Her exhibits were beautiful, and
she is entitled to much credit for
her work in raising them.
There were Z entries for the
premium and special premium
on white bread and it was with
great difficulty that the judges
were able to decide which was
the best. Mrs. Dave Lands
won the first premium while Eli
zabeth Nelson won the second.
Mrs. W. H. Powers won several
premiums on cakes, and Mrs.
George Burke took first premium
on raised biscuits and cocoanut
cake.
J. Uglum had a number of
products on exhibition, which in
cluded cattle, garden truck, and
several things in the bread and
cake line, and won several priz-
es.
There were sixteen contest
ants for the premium and special
premium for the best jar of but
ter. The special premium was
offered by the First State Bank
and consisted of a $500 gold
piece. Mrs. D. M. Skinner was
awarded the first premium in
this instance and George Clark
second. !
The exhibits in the grain line
were not so heavy, probably on
account of SO many farmers in
the. county not having yet
threshed. Hans Anderson of
this city won the first premium
on wheat and John L. Finke sec
ond; John Siverling won the
first on oats and J. A. Burke Sec
ond; W. D. Owings won first on I.
white corn and J. E. Emerson
second; and John L. Finke won
first on yellow corn.
Mrs. J. A. Ormiston brought .
IN a nice bunch of exhibits for
the vegetable department. and
she won only two first
