OFFICERS DUE CREDIT
President Gilbreath and Secretary
Woods Have Been Untiring In
Their Efforts to Make Big
Success Of the Fair.

The 1919 Richland county fair
opened last Tuesday morning
with the largest and best display
of exhibits ever displayed at any
Richland county fair.
Monday was the day of entries
and the whole grounds was a
place Of busy activities. Booths
were being prepared for exhibits,
tents raised,and exhibits received,
marked and classified.
The ruling of the health de-
partment preventing the exhibit
Of any swine makes the empty
pens very noticeable. The poul-
try exhibit is small but in every
other department the fair has
shown a wonderful growth.
Much credit is due President
Gilbreath and Secretary Woods
for their untiring efforts in an
attempt to make this years fair
the best ever and to say that they
have succeeded would be putting
it mildly. These two gentlema.
have been constantly on the job
for the past three months figuring
means to get a record attend
ance at the annual fair and their
efforts have shown wonderful re-
suits. Mr.. Woods has shown that
he was the right man for the place
as far as publicity work was con-
cerned and the crowd that is in
attendance. at the fair this week
shows that he knows his business
when it comes to publicity work.
There were over forty entries
in the races and it is claimed that
this is the largest racing program
ever held in the state, barring
none. The track has been kept
in excellent shape all summer and
those who have horses here say it
is the fastest track in the north
west. ~
The woman's building, under
the management Of Mrs. Soaring
as president and Mrs. Olson secre
tary is a very busy place and one
Of the most interesting places on
the grounds.
In the woman's department the
premiums were awarded in all Of
the baked goods, candies, jellies,

A wealthy Minnesota farmer

State board OF health. While
members Of his family have died,

recently issued, but when hog
cholera threatened the man was

BY the use Of serum. DR.. Brack-
en- used this case as a warning in

The home, recently investigated
IS not identified by name or ad-

family consists of father, a
mother and fourteen children.
The farmers first wife died of
tuberculosis, a daughter Of the
second wife also died of the dis
case, and a son of the first wife,
10 years old, had tuberculosis
two years.
No precautions have been TAX

made immune from cholera by the
serum treatment, and he is a
breeder Of fine horses and hogs.
The farmer owns 32O acres of
good land.
- Apparently" DR.. Bracken said

Right Aae for Msrriaue.

A lively little controversy is going it's rounds Of newspaper discussion rel. ative to the right age at which Q man should take the matrimonial plunge. A professor in the Boston university precipitated the controversy by scof. f1ng at the assertion that young man at twenty was prepared for the re. responsibilities of marriage. declaring with much truth that matrimony al that tender age was generally a ghast- ly and expensive joke on the fatherin. law. Marriage at the best, is an ex. pertinent that should never be rashly undertaken. Love at first sight" is the surest road to the divorce court Its victims need the immediate service of a physician much more than that of a parson. The right time to marry is when the right young man meets the right young girl, but up to date the wisdom of humanity has devised no accurate test for that happy con junetioa-

G0L0EST CITY ON THE GLOBE
Verkhoyansek, in Northeastern si- herIs, Has That Distinction, But
 Many Dwell There In Comfort.
THE ENl

Verkhoyansek, 8 good-sized city in northeastern Siberia, boasts the dis tinction of being the coldest inhabited city on the globe. It is in north lati- tude 67 degrees on the arctic plane and scarcely more than hundred and fifty feet above the sea level. It annual temperature is three above zero and in winter the maximum is S5 below zero. The Russian government owns the town and is interested in having an administrative center where clever and industrious Yokuts, fur trading Jews of Siberia, carry on their operations.
 All the inhabitants of VerkhcyaHsek with the exception of a few officials and Russian traders, are Yokuts The Yokuts are such ambitious and aggres- sive people that they do not seem to mind the fect that the rivers freeze to the bottom and that small trees have been known to snap and split tron the biting force of the cold
 Still many Russians even seem to prefer it to warmer posts. Its atmos- phere is always clear and the air still md there are no blizzards or snow storms. Then the Siberian dress adds considerably to the enjoyment of this arctic city. It consists of two suits of fur. an outer and an inner. and a huge hood to pull over the face so thst there IS just enough space to see end breathe through.
 The summer is hotter than might be reasonably expected. the average tenn perature being 5e above zero in July. The earth Is green and vegetation .hrives, but the surface of the ground Is scarcely thawed
