1T is understood that this year
the fair paid all of its current in

and is the first time in the history
of the association that this has
been the case. But it is only nat

Next year the association should
have a big fair and make some
money on the venture. And while

MEAHER C0UNTYFA
PASSES INTO HISTORY
The Most Successful Fair in the His.
tory Of the Meagher County
Organization


The Fourth Annual Meagher
County Fair has passed into his
tory. IL was the best fair, from
every point Of view, that the as
sociation has ever held. There
were some things about the fair
that might have been better but
as a demonstration Of the resources
Of Meagher county and also the
resourcefulness Of it's people in
staging a good show, this was a
record breaking event. The wealth
or was delightful throughout the
three days Of the celebration and
the crowd was a most good natur-
ed one, applauding the various
stunts, thus showing their appre
citation.
Wild Bill Reynolds, under whose
direction tho Stampede events
were put on, did every thing in his
power to make his part Of the pro.
gram success and that he sue
ceeded, was plainly evident from
the liberal applause he received.
One feature Of the fair that crea-
ted probably more interest than
any other was the Better Babies"
contest. There were all kinds of
babies entered for this contest.
The result Of the examination each
received was an eyeopener to many
mothers. The babies we're weigh
ed, measured for height, and each
member Of the body measured,
their Commemorative power guaged,
and numerous other tests made,
each test counting for so many
points for or against the child's
general average. As result of
the contest it has been decided,
that, in comparison with the re-
suit Of contests in other sections
Of the country, there. are no better
babies than those Of Meagher coun-
ty.
While the attendance at each
day Of the fair was good, and larg-
en- than last year, the biggest at
tendance was probably on Thurs
day. The best program was given
on the last day of the fair.
Every evening the association
provided dancing at the opera
house and this amusement was in.
dulged in by a large crowd each
evening. The music was furnish.
ed by the HarloWton orchestra
and the Christianson- Dott orches-
ira of Shawmut. Both orchestras
furnished delightful music.
]. 1t is surprising what large va
riety Of curios an occasion of this
kind will bring to light. There
were some relics and curios on dis
NAV IN the Women's hall that are
probably priceless. There was 9
snare drum that was carried
through the civil war, and as ont
stood before it the thoughts were
carried to the many scenes Of car
mage and bloodshed that it had
possibly been a part of. How Of

sociation held its first Better Ba-
bies Contest from 900 to 11:3O a.
m. each day Of the fair.
Forty-nine babies were examin-
ed and forty.six we're entered in
the contest.
The Better Babies Contest was
given under the direction of The
Womans Home Companion which
furnished all directions, score. cards
physicians wall charts, certificates
and medals.
The directions were followed
out to the letter by examiners and
sscore.keepers who gave their time
and skill free Of charge for the
benefit of the babies.
The purpose of a Better Babies
Contest is to have tho babies OK
amined for any defect, in order
that the child's health may be
improved and not for the purpose
of securing a prize. If your baby
has any defects that can be rene
died consult your family physician
and have the fault corrected.
Careful diet, hygenic habits and
simple medical care are within the
reach of every one here, and will
make your baby better baby.
The score-cards used in this con
test were formulated for the Wo.
mans Home Companion, precisely
as those used at a stock show, by
some Of the most eminent physi-
clans in tho United States who
make speciality of children's dis
eases. =-.-
If any one has any suggestion to
make whereby this contest would
be improved please send them TO
the Woman's Home Companion.
Children making a score of 90
per cent. are excellent.
Children making a score of 80
per cent. are good.
Children making score 70 per
cent are low.
Children making a score of 60
per cent are deficient.
| A Better Babies Contest will be
held in Helena at the State Fair
September 22nd-27th. Every child
making a score of 80 per cent. o.
over should be entered there be
fore September 14th. We wonlc

LIKED THE FAIR

People who attended the county
fair at Harlow the past few days
report a fine fair and very enjoy
able time. The farming exhibits
while in measure local to the up.
per Musselsbell valley, we're of the
finest quality, and some of the
grains were exceptionally good.
Most of these exhibits will be
placed with the Meagher County
exhibit at the State Fair. The
attractions at the county fair were
good, the Wild West Show, put on
by local people under the direction
of wild Bill Reynolds, being by
far the most interesting, with
bucking, bare. back riding, roping
and fancy riding, with several
startling wild west features. The
baseball games between Harlow
ton and the visiting teams were
well played, and Harlowton has
probably the best amateur team
!, in the state. About fifteen people
from the Springs attended the fair
the last day, and all brought back
favorable report. Meagher Coun.
