CLOSE.
Judge Flaherty Wins Stevens
County by Nearly 500 Major
ity and Leads Bothne in Every
County except Grant.

Tuesday was one of the quietest
primary election days ever held in
this county in spite of the fact that
state officers were nominated at that
time and there were many contests.
Hardly half of the voters took the
trouble to vote.
The news from the state at large
is that Eberhart has won the nomina-
tion, with Lee, Young. Gordon, Spoon
er and Falk trailing in the order
named. Manahsn has long lead for
congressman at large, but Eddy may
pass him on later returns. Burnquist
is nominated lieutenant governor, and
all the other present officers are
renominated.
In Stevens county, the following
are the unofficial returns of first
choice votes:

The county canvassing board began
c3nvassing the returns yesterday, but
there will be little change from these

several of the precincts the SECOND
choice votes were not properly entered
and for that reason they will have
to be disregarded. There is no way
to correct the error except by going
to the ballots, but these are sealeC

COUNTY FAIR
OPEN EVENINGS
AMUSEMENT FEATURES ON
THE GROUNDS.
E educational Features Provided
in the Many Exhibits and De-
monstratiOns and in Address
by Hon. D. w. Lewler.

The county fair will be held next
week Thursday. Friday and Saturday,
Sept. &c, 27 and %.
Many unusual entertainment fea-
lures will be provided in tent shows,
Ferris wheels and free attractions,
and if one wants to be entertained,
here will be the place.
The fair will also be open evenings,
and this is expected to greatly in
crease it's attractiveness and swell the
attendance.
Then there will be the exhibits of
farm products and every farmer is
urged to bring in something. The
state provides about 81. 600 for the
payment of premiums, and the money
can be used for nothing else. If
the money is not used for the pay
ment of premiums, then it goes back
to the state, so it is up to the farmers
to get this money if they want it.
An exhibit at the county fair is
often more educating to the exhibitor
than to the public, for being per-
sonally interested in certain sample,
he will see how the well posted judge
Will pick out the best, and learn why
certain sample is picked out as the
best.
A good display Of Holstein and
dairy cattle is also especially desired,
and every one who can should bring
their pure bred stock and high grade
dairy cows to the fair.
Plan to attend the fair next week,
and also to make an exhibit there.

Take Toothbrush Census.

In order to assist local school and
health authorities of the state to
watch the health of pupils in the
schools, the state board of health has
prepared a series of questions to be
answered by the pupil, from which
it can be quickly seen which pupils
may need medical attention.
The papers when answered will give
grading of the health of each pupil.
Among the questions are ones relating
to the use of tea and coffee by pupils,
the use of toothbrush. whether the
windows are open in bed rooms,
whether the pupil gets headache often
or whether the words on the black
board blur. -.

much to further the good health of all
the pupils and can be obtained q with

That, whereas the basis of valua-

SAVING SEED CORN.
Some Financial Phases of Seed
Corn Week.

Farmers who did not have seed
corn last spring paid from $500 to
SIS. 90 per bushel for it. They could
have saved it from their crop of the
fall before at cost of 40 cent per
bushel. figuring that man could
select only 5 bushels a day. Storing
and curing in an attic or unused bed
room would cost only few cents, and
testing is good pastime for the winter
and spring days.
All told, it should not cost the
farmer over 81. 90 bushel to grow.
save, cure and test his own seed
corn, from a good field of corn. Thus
from 81. 90 to 81. 90 per bushel might
have been saved by the men who had
tu buy seed corn last spring.
But the most important considera-
tion is not the cost of saving the SEED.
When good crop of corn has been
grown on farm there is no better
source from which to select seed corn
for that farm than from that crop.
The corn is adapted to the soil and
climate and is most likely to succeed
again. If it is kept pure and atten
tion is given to selecting the best tpye
of ears for seed, constant improve
ment can be made and the crop made
much more certain.
If while saving seed corn for him
self. the farmer can save two to FIVE
bushels per acre to sell at $500 or
more bushel to those who are not
so forehanded. he has put a nice
premium on his corn crop. A 40
bushel yield at Al cents. the average
price for corn during the past ten
years. would be worth SIG. 40 an acre
for feed. If 3 bushels were sold as
seed at So. so bushel and the balance
used for feed, it would bring $22. 67
an acre or $6.27 more. Twenty acres
of corn so handled would yield profit
enough to pay the expense of one of
the boys at the Agricultural School
for the winter. Or, divided among
the boys, it might help solve the
problem Of how to interest them in the
farm. Andrew Boss, Minnesota Col.
