Hargis School and Community Fair
Held October "a.

Nearly everybody in Grant parish has
heard of this little village, so noted for
the thrift and hospitality of its citizens.
Our people are farmers and some are
beginning to dream about the possibili-
ties of farm life in the hills of Grant.
Since the boil weevil made his advent,
they, with other farmers, have been
thinking and diversifying crops to some
extent, and have found, as others did,
that diversification makes far better
returns than the old lone crop" system.
Last year we had kind of impromp-
"a fair and we were so well pleased
that we made more systematic effort
this year, and are greatly pleased with
the results. The following are few
of the exhibits:
CHICKEN CLUB.
Bessie Bazar-best Rhode Island reds.
Edna Self-best Plymouth Rocks.
(Out of club.)
Mrs. R. S. Garrett--best Plymouth
Rock.
Miss Lucy Garrett--best Orphingtons
FRUITS.
Mrs. ]. F. Drewett.
TOMATO CLUB.
Lou Adams largest quantity.
Cora Killingsworth-best quality.
Miss Adams produced on one-tenth
of an acre 2576 pounds splendid raw to-
matoes, and put up 1876 cans. Had her
entire crop been canned, she would have
put up about 1900 cans. This shows
the possibilities of tomatoes in Grant
parish.
Best needle work Mrs. J. F. Drew
EFT.
CORN CLUB.
Willie Moore, Jesse Bryant, Owen
Fletcher, Herbert Bice, Dennie Shaw,
all did good club work, but some failed
to measure their corn properly. Willie
Moore has probably won on quantity
and quality. He also kept record ac-
cording to directions.
Splendid exhibits of cane were made
by several farmers showing the posi-
bilites of cane culture.
PIG CLUB.
Ernest Bazar-first prize.
There were several splendid colts or
exhibit, as well as cows and brood sows.
Prof. E. s.. Richardson delivered 9
splendid address at 1:30p. M, after the
teachers and good number of pupils
fof the Verda school came over The
fboys played two games of basket ball.
| We think country fairs, to encourage
agriculture, should be given in all parts
kof the State, and that teachers can dc
much good along this line. As teachers
I'VE should educate the boys and girls to
know something of the riches of mother
earth all around them.
Respectfully, H. F. KlLLEN.

BANKS ABLE TO
HANDLE CROPS
A. I. Hunter Does Not Be-
lieve Demand on Govern
ment Will be Necessary
IS
Institutions in Splendid Con-
ditions and North Dako-
ia Need Not Worry.

No outside aid will be required by
the banks Of Grand Forks in the A.
nancing Of the moving of the crops
Of this district during the coming sea-
son according to A. 1. Hunter. Of the
First National bank, president of the
local clearing house.
The Grand Forks banks are in I'M
usually good condition for this time
Of the year." said Mr.. Hunter today.
THE reports that have been made
lately indicate that we have plenty of
money right here in town to do our
share Of the crop moving.
IF outside assistance should be re-
CURED. however, 1t can be easily OBJ
tanned from the reserve banks in Min
neapolis. The government is to dis
tribute $50, 0e0,0 900 among the reserve
banks Of the country. and a large
part Of that sum will go to the banks
of the northwest.
If we need more money than we
can supply locally We can borrow a
portion Of this fund, but personally 1
do not believe that it will he neces-
sary."
1t is expected that the crop will be-
gin to move by September 1. The
local railroad officials report that they
have plenty Of cars and that there is
no probability of a shortage while the
crop is in motion.
1t is believed that, If the present
conditions continue. 1t will be posi-
bic to move the grain as fast as It is
brought in by the farmers.

ANOTHER TOUR Of
COUNTY PLANNED
Second Inspection in Nash
Farm Contest Will Be
Made Before Sept. l.

Farms Of Grand Forks county that
are entered in the Nash prize contest
will be given a second inspection by
the committee of judges before Sep
ember 1, according to O. d. Center,
chairman of the committee.
1t is felt that this inspection should
be made before the threshing season
for spring wheat begins, in order that
the amount Of care and cultivation
which has been bestowed by the va
rious farmers on their crops may be
correctly judged.
A third inspection will be made in
October after the threshing Is we'll
along, and the four prizes will be
awarded November 1.
The general appearance Of the crops
at the present time will be a consid-
cradle factor in the awarding of the
prizes according to Mr.. Center. It is
probable therefore that the inspection
trip will be made early next week II
the committee can be gotten together
at that time.
The judges are o. D. Center, Andrew
Veitch and NJ. A. Brannon, dean Of
the department Of liberal arts at the
state university. The four prizes
range from 500 to $25.
Five elements are to be taken into
consideration in making the award.
These are, the farm buildings, the
farm itself, THE crop grown his year,
the farm equipment, and the i'm
provements made during the present
wear.

purchaser of a sc package'o Of Peerless
Long Cut tobacco. a 14-karat gold

limited supply Of the pins is going
fast and advise their patrons to act
promptly in order to secure ne.
The manufacturers Of Peerless To-
bacco seem quite willing to make wide
distribution of gifts as valuable as
these pins to secure the wide trial
they desire for this brand. They say
that once called to a smokers atten-
ton. the use Of Peerless is continued
because of its extraordinary quality
and full weight OF tobacco. 1t is made
of. the highest quality tobacco. which

is said by experienced smokers to be
unequalled for the satisfaction it gives
either way.

SHOW CIRCUIT Plans, GIVEN
IMPETUS BY GRAND FORKS hackers.
WILL Be DISCUSSED At SAINT PAUL

With a circuit in working order we
would undoubtedly make the east
hustle.
To properly take up this matter it
will be necessary for representatives
o fthe Kennel clubs in these cities
to get together and form a circuit Or
g~anization. 1t has been suggested that
the Minnesota state fair week would
be a good time for such a meeting.
Acting upon this suggestion I am TAX
ing the liberty Of calling the meeting
for Saturday, September s. at IL
o'clock noon, at the A. o. U. w. build
ing on the fair grounds.
You are invited to be present and
most earnestly requested to bring with
you a delegation of representatives
from your city. You should see to 1t
that every kennel show enthusiast In
your city has notice of the meeting
I suggest having your local papers give
notice Of the purpose, time n place
Of the same.
The circuit schedule would probably
run as follows:
Chicago, last week in March.
Lacrosse, Milwaukee, st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Fargo and Grand Forks in
April.
Bismarck, Winnipeg and Duluth in
! May.

I. N. Swiggum Has Been
With Workers All Dav in
Effort to Raise the Body
FUTILE SEARCH FOR
DROWNING VICTIM
Accident at 2 O'clock Thurs
day Not Reported by Play
mates Till 5 O'clock.

Efforts to recover the, body of Ar
dell Swiggum. aged 8 drowned in the
Red river near Lincoln park Thurs
day afternoon, have so far proved
fruitless.
T. A. Swiggum of 702 Walnut street,
father Of the drowned boy, has been
at the scene Of the tragedy all day
aiding in the search for. his sons
body. but all his efforts have proved
%unavailing.
The tragedy is felt all the more
poigantly by the bereaved parents of
the unfortunate boy on account Of the
fact that this is the second child that
they have lost suddenly.
/; A number of years ago while the
I family was living in Grafton. their
only. daughter fell from a high chair
and died as the result.
The river at the point the accident
happened is full of deep holes as the
result of the work of the government
dredge ut that point, and it is believed
that the body of the drowned boy
has become lodged in of these.
Flaymates. Panic Stricken.
The accident occurred, it appears,
at about 3 o'clock Thursday after
noon. Young Swiggum who could
only swim a few strokes. suddenly
found himself beyond his depth while
swimming with a number of play
mates and became panic stricken.
Frank Toussaint. son of Z. Tous-
saint, near whose place the boys were
swimming, went to his assistance and
made a desperate effort to save his
life.
Swiggum chung to his would-be res
cuer and pulled him beneath the. wa
ter. Toussaint's. strength began to
fail and he had hard work reaching
the shore himself after his desper-
ate efforts to loose the drowning boys
grasp.
Report Drowning Three Hours Later.
The boys were afraid to tell Of the
drowning, it appears, and made no
mention of it until almost 5 o'clock
in the afternoon when they had re-
turned to town.
They then met the younger brother
OF their drowned companion, who
asked where his brother was. The
The search party was Immediately
organized which fastened to the
scene of the drowning inc began the
long search for the body.
According to the story of Mrs
Toussaint. mother Of Frank. Arde;l
SWiggum and a number of his friends
had been playing around the place
with her son all day.
They had gathered plums during
the morning, and went swimming at
1880 o'clock in the afternoon.
The boys returned to the Toussaint
house after the accident but made no
mention Of the affair. Mrs. Toussaint
did not learn the truth until several
hours later, When her sol sobbed out
the story.

Of school. In this way then usual
delays will be eliminated.
At the end Of the year the pupils
may turn in their books and receive
a fair price for them from the board.
The books will then be resold the
following year to other children need
ing them.
In this way the pupils will only
have to pay what is practically a e n
tai for the books each year.
The plan is approved of by the book
dealers, who do not find 1t profitable
to handle school books. The board
Is able to make much more advan-
tageous arrangements with the book
companies than can the individual
dealers.
The saving this year will amount to
at least $4,000 and later. when the
second hand books begin to come in,
will be much greater.

be discussed.
The Grand Forks Kennel club will
be represented at the conference. the
plans for which are outlined in the
following letter from John F. Selb Of
st. Paul:
Dear sir:-since the closing of the
st. Paul show held last April, I have
had frequent requests to take up the
initial work of forming a regular dog
show circuit. The cities suggested
are Lacrosse, st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Fargo, Grand Forks, Bismarck, Du-
luth. Winnipeg and Milwaukee. all
Of which cities are reputed to be good
show prospects.
st. Paul and Minneapolis sentiment
Is, I believe, for a spring show, to
follow the usual March Chicago show.
There will be more than enough points
in these shows to insure champion
ships and dog owners would most like
ly follow through the circuit. Last
spring st. Paul showed the same dates
with Baltimore and our show received
the same rating and in the hunting
breeds had it on the Baltimore show.
