FOOT BALL GAME ATTRACTS

With the return Of Coach Van
Ward, the Science School grid
iron warriors are getting into
shape for the big football game
to be held in front of the grand
stand at the fair grounds on the
last day Of the fair, Friday, Oct.
8, with the U. s. Indian school
team.
The Indian team is also being
given a hard workout each day,
under the direction of their
coach. They promise TO spring
an assortment of trick plays on
their opponents which are CAL
culated TO bewilder them.
The football game is arous;E (
great interest among alumni of
both institutions. 1t will give
many an opportunity TO recall
their football days. They will be
in position to come at fair time
although they might not at a
later date.

NO HOGS TO De SHOWN

There will be no hogs exhibited
at the Richland county fair. This
is the ultimatum Of the nichland
county board Of health. through
its chairman, DR.. r. H. Devine
The action was taken with the
view Of preventing the spread OF
hog cholera, which is playing
havoc among herds of swine all
over the country.
AS a matter Of fact it is likely
that there would have been very
few, if any, hogs shown at the
fair, owing to the ravages Of the

Furthermore, the Richland. Goun.
II fair is held .at the time Of year
when it is possible 70 secure com-
plete displays of farm products.
The result u that the Rich
land county fair is q truly rep
resentative fair in all depart
ments. It Is not a county fair in
the sense in which the words are
usually understood. The term
county fair is q misnomer in
this case. Most of the exhibi-
tions classed as county fairs are
mere sideshows when compared
to the Richland county fair.
Therefore, the proposed change.
The name "Tri-State Fair" is
suggested because Wahpeton is
Just across the river from Min
nesota mad about 25 miles from
South Dakota. 1t would add pres
tige to the fair and would put it
in class with Huron, S. D. The
latter city is but 5000 population
which is less than the combined
population of Wahpeton and
Breckenridge.
Furthermore, by holding the
local fair the week following the
South Dakota fair, it would in
sure large list of entries in the
races.
The argument is made that to
hold the fair earlier in the year
would be bad policy, owing to the
fact that the farmers are busy
harvesting. The answer is: 9th
er fairs are held earlier and are a
success in spite Of this so-called
handicap. Most any farmer, no
matter how busy, can get away
to attend a fair one day out of
four.
Whether OF not the articles of
incorporation are to be amended
so as to permit a change of name
will very likely be decided at the
annual meeting Of the association
to be held next winter. Now is
the time to agitate the matter.
