SIX SPECIAL TRAINS
ON G. N. RAILWAY
Secretary Of Fair Hopes Also to
Secure Two More for Home
Corners Day, Sept. 80.

There will be six-instead of
five-special trains, and possibly
eight specials, on the Great Nor
thern Railway during the four
days of the Richland County Fair.
In letter to Secretary Geo. w.
Woods, Howard Noble, general
passenger agent, writes:
1--WE will arrange for special
round trip train service to Wah-
peton for the Richland County
Fair, as follows:
From Lidgerwood Oct. 4 and 3.
From Rutland Oct. 9.
From Kindred Oct. and 8.

make the exhibition and race meet
an unqualified success"
Mr.. Woods made arrangements
for these train when he was in st.
Paul recently. Since then it has
been decided to hold Home
Coming celebration co-incident
with the fair and Mr.. Woods has
written Mr.. Noble with reference
to securing two additional trains
for Home Coming Day, Sept. 80.
Negotiations are also pending
with the Northern Pacific and the
Milwaukee roads for special train
service on their lines during the
fair.
Although the Great Northern
has not yet announced complete
time and rate schedules for the
specials, it is understood that they
will be practically the same as
last year.

FOOT BALL GAME At FAIR

The foot ball game between the
Science School and Indian School
teams, which will be staged in
front of the grandstand one af-
ternoon of the Richland County
Fair, ought to prove an interest
ing feature for those who have
never seen two first-class tea us
in action. The novelty Of the
contest will appeal to many who
have yet to witness their first
foot ball game. 1t will be an awak-
ening to many who are inclined
to the belief that a foot ball game
is nothing but a tumble of flying
arms and legs, with every player
trying to get on top of the pile.
Scientific foot ball is just as diff
ferent from corner lot foot ball
as one o. cat is from a real base
ball game.

ADVICE TO CONTESTANTS IN

The contestants of the School
Boys Corn Growing Contest
should pay careful attention now
to the cultivation of their plot Of
corn for various reasons. Soon
the corn will be out in tassel.
These tassels will hold millions
of pollen grains, which, waited
by the wind about the fide and
blown upon the silks which are
ready for fertilization, attach
themselves to them and perform
the function of fertilization. Each

prise will be when they return
this year and view the magnifl-
cent $4,000 court house, the
Way Of Light, and the many new
business blocks and residences
which have been built in the past
few years, and which are now
in course of construction.

foreign pollen grain unitingprop-
erly with silk produces grain

In order for the plants to have
strong pollen and produce we'll

thoroughly worked. A hand pillow
or hoe with an energetic person
behind it would we'll answer this
purpose. This cultivation would
eradicate the weeds and conserve
the soil moisture and a good yield

Even with an abundance Of fresh
air and wholesome food, the health of
a country family Is largely dependent
on the purity of it's drinking water.
Since the principal source of farm wa
