To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Star of Saturday, the 9th in
slant, noticed an article from the
Strand asking for information regard
ing a freak of nature-or phenomenon of
Jack Frost-which calls to my mind a
similar one. Many years ago we had some
one-galon fiat milk crooks standing in
the open front of the milkhouse. They
were filled with water in the evening in
April. 1t turned cold in the night. Next
morning there was thick Ice on the wa
ter, and one of the crooks had three
icicles pointing in a slanting direction
upward. They were of different lengths,
from three to four inches. and about
three-eightas of an inch thick, very
much like real icicles that hang down.

AR IN FAIR
Rlohland County Fair More Than
. Self Supp portlns This YEAR
cIsars Over 81. 600. 90.

The Richalnd county fair OF
1913 has become a matter Of his
tory. This was the eighth an
nual fair, and it was under an
entirely new management who
were considerably handicapped
because they were not acquain-
ted with the people Of the county
outside Of the city of Wahpeton.
The exhibits in some lines were
smaller and in others were much
larger than in previous fairs.
The weather was ideal and the
attendance was good.
In spite of the fact that there
was no county aid available this
year there will be a surplus of
more than one thousand dollars.
This is an excellent showing as
compared with former years,
which have averaged more than
$4,000 per year of being self
sustaining. A surplus Of 81, 900
is $4,000 better than deficit of
$4,000.
We have been informed by the
management that complete H.
nancial statement, will be ready
for publication next week, which
is an innovation that will be ap-
preciated by~both the stockhold-
ers and the taxpayers.
