BIG AGRICULTURAL SHOW

G. N. McIlvane, secretary of the
state board of agricultural. is strong
in the belief that the prospects for a
successful fair were never better; APP
plications for space in the machinery
department are three times greater
than any previous year; there will be
a great blowing contest involving
over forty different types of traction
engines that will be the greatest
event of any western fair. We have
an aeroplane contract that calls for
thirty six flights flights each day
three machines, one Curtiss, one
Wright, and one French monoplane.
This latter machine has never before
been seen in the west. 1t is a most
beautiful sight to see these machines
operate, all in the air at the same
time, and you can depend upon the
South Dakota State Fair giving its
patrons the very finest attractions.

ment of the constitutional amend

TO give them their desire for taking 81
part in the elections of the state.
Their first preliminary move in this
direction is the call for q state mass
convention to be held at Huron, on
the oath and 25th Of this month,
which has for its purpose the franz
ing up of campaign to that end
and the selection of an official staff
for carrying on the work on their

carried on by men in their political
contests. and will soon be busy.

RAINS BOOST CROPS

The rains several days last week
for the western half of the state have
changed the whole outlook for many
sections. While wheat, which was
not we'll put in, and some which was
damaged by the hot, dry weather of
the week previous, the corn. flax,
potato and hay crop was not in any
danger. and with the rainfall which
has ranged close about two inches
for the whole of the western half of
the state, the outlook for continued
good conditions means nothing more
than normal precipitation for the rest
of the year, and the ground has been
80 thoroughly soaked that most sec
tions could pull through even if the
rainfall should fall below normal for
the rest of the growing season. But
it was just the kind of rain needed,
and it has assured thousands OF dol
lars to the farmers.

INDEPENDENT REPUBLICANS
Flandreau Herald: The charges
made against the present administra-
ton in the recent primary campaign
are as true now as they were at the
time they were made. The people
have been getting the worst of it by
the machine politicians. They are
now and will continue to get the
worst of it. II old Larry Byrne's
son 10 elected governor he will retain
the same old gang in office and high
lakes will continue. Promo the
state comes the word that thousands
of the Egan voters will bolt Byrne
and vote for Johnson. They can not
be blamed, for the Byrne men threat
ened to bolt Egan if he was nominal
ed. The Egan followers are the indie
pendent republicans of the state, the
men who do not fear the politicians
and who have higher regard for the
peoples welfare than that of the
party. If they go to Johnson in a
body as they now threaten to do they
will elect him.
