Jimmie Ward, Holder of the
Worlds Altitude Record.
Make Fine Flight.

The thrillers of the North Dakota
state fair at Fargo today we're the bal
loo ascension and the flying machine.
Jimmie Ward, the youngest aviator in
the world, made a flight in Shooting
Stars" a Curtiss biplane and the fly
ing was the best feature of the pro-
gram today. Ward holds the worlds
altitude record for a flying machine
at 10,700 feet. The bird man got a
fine start and flew in front of the
~grandstand and out over the residence
district of Fargo, and back into the
center of the half-mile track. Before
alighting Ward made a sensational
spiral dip in front of the grandstand.
He was up in the air about fifteen
minutes and this is the best fight ev-
er made at a state fair in Fargo. Ward
is only 20 years of age but he is a
world heater from the word go. His

WILL BEGIN STUDY
Of PROBLEMS
OF FARM
Boys Were a Tired but Hap
py Bunch When Taps
Sounded Last Night.
tBy a Staff Correspondence

Fargo, N. D.. July 23.-The dele
gates to the Better Farming associa-
TONS encampment for boys at the
state fair were a tired company of
youths last night and they were all
apparently willing to urn in when
taps was sounded at $3.50 o'clock. The
first day in camp had been a strenu-
u one and the boys first taste of
military life will probably be long re-
membered. If you think it is an easy
matter for youths right off the farm
to answer bugle calls. step lively at
the command of an officer and march
several blocks before meals. just come
down to Fargo and talk to the boys
who tried it for the first time in their
lives yesterday. While none of them
would pass up this military training
for anything in the world. they will
all admit thai it is a whole lot differ
ent than anything they have ever
taken part in before. Pitching bundles,
they aver, is a snap compared to hip,
hip, hipping over the fair grounds.
However, the delegates were all happy
when lights were put out last night
and they all swore that this encamp-
ment is the best outing they have
ever had.
Today the real work Of the educa-
tional department of the camp COM
menced with elias work at s o'clock in
the morning. The first subject taken
up was that of poultry and the class
was conducted by Investigator O. w.
Dynes of the agricultural college.
This elias was followed by one in
fruits and vegetables in charge of c.

cultural college. j. V. Bopp of the

charge of the class in North Dakota
soils. At $50 o'clock this afternoon
Professor Worst Of the agricultural
college is scheduled to give the boys
an address and he will be followed by
a talk on animal diseases by Dr.. L.
Van Els, veterinarian of the state ag-
ricultural college.
One Of the best things on yester-
days program, the boys say, was the
trip to the Fargo Y. NJ. c. A, where
experts put them through swimming
lessons. The half hour in the big
tank will be a feature of each after
Moons amusement schedule.
o.. D.. Center, expert of the Better
Farming association for Grand Forks
county, who is at the head Of the en-
campment, said last night that a
number of visitors to the fair said
n a they had made it a point to come
to the fair this year just to see how
such a camp is conducted. The visit
ors said that they had had doubts as
to whether a bunch of farm boys
would take ahold of such a venture
and stay by it. After they had seen
the boys at work in camp and had
been present at the opening assembly
they went back to town convinced
that such an encampment was what
the boys of the far mneeded. They
said they hoped that such a camr
would be held every year and thai
more North Dakota boys would come
in for the benefits such as are Of
fered the delegates to the first boys
encampment at this years fair.

Fair Today.
(By a STAFF CORRESPONDENCE

Fargo, N. D.. July 23.-Although
last night was listed among the hot
test of the season and thunder clouds
darkened h sky, the weather did not
tempt many to remain at home and
the state fair grounds were packed
with spectators who were well reward
eel for their trip with an excellent pro-
gram of fireworks and free acts staged
by the carnival companies that will be
seen next week at the county fair in
Grand Forks. The crowd of last
night swelled the opening days at
tendance to the record mark and the
state fair management feels hat the
success of the big show is now prac-
tlcally assured.
The features of today's amusement
card will be the aviation perform
ances of Jimmie Ward and George
Metasch. who flies the French mono
plane. These intrepid birdmen will
take to the air at 4 o'clock this after
noon provided h weather is favor
able. Aviator Ward Informed news
paper men last night that he was go
ing after an altitude record in North
Dakota. The Frenchman was in the
crowd at the time and heard what was
said. A few minutes later he remark
led that he would attempt anything
that Ward would and proposed to
make the American look sick. With
this rivalry aroused it would seem that
state fair patrons are in line for some
interesting flying. Metash will be seen
in his monoplane in Grand Forks next
week and Ward will probably visit this
city later. The harness events will al
SO be started today.
Many Of the leading exhibits at the
state fair will be taken to Grand
Forks for the county fair. The big
