HOOkWORM CAMPAIGN.
Final Report Shows Small Infection in
This County. Or. Howard Pleas.
ed with Courteous Treatment.

In making final report of the hook
worm campaign in Grenada county, DR..
H. H. Howard states that there has
been something over 220 examinations
made, with the following findings
'Hookworm disease, "a cases; ascaris
lumbricoides, 62 cases; dwarf tape, 10
cases. This shows a very small infec
ton of hookworm in the county Qess
than two per cent? and also a very
small number of other more common
intestinal parasites.
The Doctor states that it is probable
that it will never be necessary to in
stitute q campaign of like nature in
the state where hookworm disease is
very prevalent, and from which sec
tions it could be brought into this terri
tory again, are being visited and the
eradication of the disease is only a
matter of time.
Dr. Howard and his assistant, l.. H.
Howard, both desire to thank the
county officials and school teachers fol
their hearty cooperation in this work
and especially to express their gratitude
to Mr.. V. r. james, county superinten
dent of education, and to the board O.
supervisors, collectively and as individ
uals, for their effective help and supper
of the work. They say: THE unfail
ing courtesy and cordiality shown to u
by the citizens of Grenada and of Gre
NADIA county will long be remembered.
The Sentinel desires to bear testi
mony to the faithful work DR.. Howar,
did in this county. He is an able ma
and is destined to labor in larger an
more important fields. He and his as
sistant both made fine impression i

FAIR PROSPECTS BRIGHT.
Fair this Fall Promises % be Biggest
and Best Ever Held. Attractive
Premiums Are Offered.

The officers of the Fair Association
have been busy for the past ten days
preparing the premium lists for the
Fair this fall. They have delayed the
preparation of the premium lists await
ing the action of the board of super
visors as to whether or not they would
make a donation to the fair.
An examination of this years premi-
um list shows that the Association is
offering the most attractive premiums
ever before given.
The Ladies' Department, which was
such a success last year, under the
able management of Mrs. S. A. Morri-
son and Mrs. H. j. Ray, bids fair to
surpass even its last years record.
THE WOMAN'S HOME COMPAN-
ION BETTER BABIES SHOW will be
feature this year, under the manage
ment of Mrs. Jas. Talbert.
Messrs. B. j. Moore and ]. w. Willis
of the Government Agricultural De-
partment have been prevailed upon to
take charge of the Livestock and agri-
cultural departments of the Fair. They
have prepared most attractive pre-
MUM list in those departments. There
is prize of $40 for the best agricultu-
raj exhibit from each district of the
county and a grand prize of s25 for the
best agricultural exhibit at the fair.
These prizes should bring out some
good exhibits. The prizes for each
separate article have also been in
creased.
Last year the Association had fights
by a monoplane flying machine. They
are now negotiating with aviators for
flights by biplane, which everyone,
who has seen both types of machine,
pronounce the most beautiful machine.
The racing program is very attractive
and already requests for stalls are be-
ing received from the racing men.
The dates of the Fair are little
earlier than last year. Oct. l4-17
Altogether the prospects for the
Fair this fall are the brightest in the
history of the Association.
