FAIR NOTES.
BRIEF ITEMS ABOUT MINOT'S MID-WINTER FAIR

large numbers in this territory as all
other kinds combined, and no COM
plant has ever been made regarding
one of them. A couple Of years ago
an improved separator was put on the
market, which is oiled automatically
from the inside, doing away with all
exterior oil holes. One of these ma
chimes run by motor is on display
at the booth.
We have done good deal of bust
ness with "Billie" Brugman, proprie-
tor of the Circle Double B ranch at
Tagus and have had the most pleas
ant relations with him, but for the
life Of us, we have never been able to
meet him personally. He's in the city
all right, with five of the finest Hol-
stein mich cows we have yet seen. A
number of these animals, we under
stand, have just been shipped in from
the east. A number of Poland China
hogs from the ranch, without a pim-
pie, were brot here by Mr.. Brugman.
Two young grade sows, worth no less
that $50, were donated to the winners
in the boys acre corn contest by Mr..
Brugman. He's one Of our best boost
ers and if he is making success Of
his business, there's reason.
]. A. Roell, the hardware dealer, is
some advertiser. He's original and
modern in his methods. His booth
could hardly be improved. An i'm
mense crowd may be seen about it
continually. Roell seems to have miss
ed his calling; however, for he should
be running laundry. He has White
Lily washing machine in the booth
and all day long he washes clothes,
wrings them out, rinses them and
wrings them out again, dries them
and then irons them with the patent
wringer. Our farmer women say they
are going to get few good books
'out of the library next summer, invest
in power washer, and improve their
intellects at the same time they wash
the buds. Roell has nice display of
sprouted corn, 100 per cent gern1ina-
ton, grown in Ward county, and test
ed under. glass. Three varieties, MINI.
10, N. w. Dent and White Flint. The
Minot Flour Mill and Stone Ordean
Wells Co. occupy a portion Of this
booth. Mrs. Corey, who has no peer
in the culinary art, has charge Of
Roell's guaranteed five year range
and bakes the finest biscuits you ever
saw, the kind that fairly melt in ones
mouth, from the well known Snow
White -four. The fuel in the range
is nothing less than the briquettes
from the new plant recently installed
by the Northern Briquetting Co. En-
press coffee is furnished by the Stone
Ordean Wells Co., which concern also
hauled up whole dray load of canned
fruits of the Nakomis and Hiawatha
brands. A good way to advertise.
]. ]. Brand, who raised about three
hundred bushels of onions which he
sold in Minot during the fall, saved
few as sample which are shown at
the fair.

brisk business.
Mr.. and Mrs. H. G. Detlaff are in
from north of the city today attending
the fair. They are among our most
prosperous farmers.
There is lot of nice poultry of the
various breeds. There is enough good
poultry in Ward county to hold an ex-
elusive poultry show.
John REM and wife brot down just
twenty-six exhibits. John, who is q
little modest, says he's sorry that he
oould have not been of more assist
aAce this year.
A representative of the Independent
visited the basement where the poultry
and stock is kept. We found few of
the owners there but managed to
learn where the various animals had
come from.

Erb, three Shorthorns; J. B. Taylor,
Jersey cows; Erik Hustad, Jersey

Miller, Holstein COW.
Major Murphy delivered two excel
leat addresses before the farmers. at
the opera house, one Tuesday after
aoon and one this afternoon. The
Major spoke on immigration and farm
ing, two of his favorite subjects, and
with which he is very familiar.
E. H. You'll and wife arrived from
Burlington today and will leave to-
night for Minnesota. Mr.. You'll, who
is a baseball artist of no mean ability,
has signed up with Winnipeg for this
year and will report at Rochester,
Mimi, March 16, for training. He
played in the Central League at Terre
Haute, Ind, last year.
The Champlin Implement Co. al
waysa has IN interesting display at
our fairs. This year they haveta fine
showing of P. & O. goods, a washing
machine run with either motor or gas
engine; Superior feed mill and Key
stone discs with wooden boxes, inter-
changeable; the, light draft Kentucky

For and Against the Race.

While Democratic leaders and the
gubernatorial candidate of that party
in Maine are preaching the need of
open rum business and the revenue
from the traffic with which to educate
our children, a convention of scien-
fists in Chicago has been urging the
states to act against the liquor traffic.
These alienists and neurologists de-
clare that alcohol in any degree, II
taken into the system, acts as defin-
lite poison to the brain and other It's
sues, and the constant tendency is
downward and backward where alco-
hol prevails. They brand it as directly
responsible for a large proportion of
the insane, epileptic, feeble-m minded
and all other forms of mental, moral
and physical degeneracy.
And Candidate Curtis says we need
booze, have got to have booze, and we
should educate our children on booze
revenue.
Curtis is interested in the booze
traffic for political purpose. His par
ty leaders in this State are allied with
the traffic. His is wholly selfish pur-
pose.
The scientists at Chicago are giving
their services, making their investiga-
tons and sounding their alarms to hu-
mainly from a wholly unselhsh pur-
pose. Their aim is the betterment of
the race.

1.-THE Deadly Parallel" 1894 1914.

There is a deadly parallel between
conditions of the country today and
those of 20 years ago, declares Dr.
Simeon D. Fess, representative in
Congress of the Sixth Ohio district.
Dr. Tess is a close student of political
conditions, being the author of the
History of Political and Party Organi-
cation in the United States.
Democrats can not ignore the dead
ly parallel of 90 years ago." he says,
when they superseded a protective
tariff system by their revenue system
under the name of the Wilson, bill
Imports increased, exports decreased
the balance of trade was turned
against us gold was exported, capital
could not invest, labor lost employ
ment In a word, business was
paralyzed.
In the face of such distress, the
Democratic party sought a new issue
and a new leader and it found the is
sue in 10 to /" and the leader in Will
liam Jennings Bryan. We were told
the tariff had nothing to do with it
and that the depression was world
wide. Now, Wilson says it is merely
psychological"
Now, note the deadly parallel: For
the first time in 90 years imports have
outrun our exports. In the single
month of April. 1914, the change
against us from the month of April a
year ago, was s64,O00,000. This ten
dency was continued in May. a direct
result Of the Underwood tariff act, the
second Wilson bill Capital is hesitat-
ing, labor is unemployed. gold is leav-
ing the country in frightful proper

ton is facing an issue of bonds, and a
season of depression similar TO that of

cratic administration of revenue sys-

A Historic and Emphatic "No.'

Secretary Bryan, in view of the ap-
preaching Chautauqua season, asked
Congress for an appropriation for
Special Assistant Secretary of State"
to be appointed by himself. The pre-
sumption was he desired a man who
would be responsible to him and not
TO the President, the Senate or the
country The salary of the special
assistant which Mr.. Bryan desired to
leave on the job was to have been
$500 a year.
Bryans proposition was up before
the House. The arguments had been
heard and the roll had been called
The vote was PIT against the premiers

Clark.

The Speakers vote came like an ex-
plosion. II was a short word. but its
mingled ,growl and roar voiced revenge
for treason at Baltimore and all the
pent up hate of two years reflection.
When the House heard the Speakers
vote and recalled the events of the last
two years there went up round of
applause seldom equalled in that body.

Fearful. nUMOR
COVERED FACE
RESIn0l. CURED

Paterson, Y. j., Dec. 0, 1918: about
year ago my face began to crack and
get sealy in blotches. 1t soon got
worse and my face was all spotted and
rough, and it itched me very much at
night, and caused me no end of discom-
fort. After month or SO, pimples and
blackheads began to show, first in small
numbers and then gradually covering
my entire face. 1t was awful. The
pimples were core and the rash was
itchy and my face had a most un-
slightly appearance. | could get no
relief. Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint-
ment caused me instant relief. By the
time another jar of Res;nol Ointment
and cake of Resinol Soap were gone,
l can truthfully say that it was COM
plete cure. My face had assumed its
former color and looks, due to Resinol

tenn of tariff. When we remind our
Democratic friends of our warnings
last year when we discussed the I'm
derwood bill in which some of us
we are indicted as calamity howlers.
Wilson declares it is simply a state of
mind.
1T is an interesting study to note
the parallel, the similarity of the pres
ent Democratic regime with that of 20
years ago. l can not believe that the
people will fail to connect results with
causes"

Cheap Talk Refuted.

Every day brings to Democracy a
boomerang. Now the pretense that
Governor Haine is sort of an annex to
the Maine Central by the way of the
mileage book veto. is laid bare by the
decision of the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
II will be remembered that Cover
nor Haines appeared for the shippers,
and now that the shippers have won
and the railroad is ordered to continue
for not less than two years the rates
in force, places the matter in another
light.
And this, too. after the Democratic
been made ridiculous by simply show
ing that the bill did not mention rates
at all.
The following letter from C. H. Tiff
fanny. secretary and traffic manager of
the New England Paper & Pulp Traffic
Association, Boston, to Governor
Haines. in appreciation of his SER
vices in maintaining old rates, is self
explanatory:
July II, 1914.
Hon. William T. Haines,
Governor,
Augusta, Maine.

official copy of decision of the In
terstate Commerce Commission in

The Highway Law.

The new Maine highway law passed
the last Legislature is non-partisan
measure The law provides for
perfected highway system of the most
approved and satisfactory kind, and
was painstakingly drafted after con-
sultation with the best engineers in
America, representatives of the auto
mobile associations, representatives of
the patrons of husbandry, and all 9TH
ers vitality interested The plan is es-
sentially that of old Rome, whose road
system has never been surpassed nor
even equalled, and follows closely the
adopted systems of modern Germany
planned and contracted for in all the
counties in Maine is being carried on
under the provisions of this law, the
law of the people which was approved
by the Legislature and passed as a
partisan measure. The system is
complicated and it is not possible TO
understand it without careful study
and for that reason Democrats I'M
friendly to the administration are at
tempting to arouse jealousies through
this law and its operations. Remem-
Der the law is one of the best laws of
your State. one of your laws. When
you hear a man knocking the law, ask
him who his authority is and you will
find he knows nothing about it.

The President, the Fourth, Politics.

The President, the Fourth, Politics.
President Wilson's act in making
political speech on the Fourth of July,
in independence Square. under the
very shadow of independence Hall, has
caused wide speculation as to whether
the old time Fourth of July GRAFTON is
to be supplanted by factional political
debate. For more than a century,
statesmen, lawyers and divines, on the
Fourth of July, have recalled our
colonial difficulties, the colonists' de-
fiant Declare ton of independence, their
suffering and valor in the camp and
field and their final triumph, then the
organization of our government, its
defense, perpetuat:on, its growth and
standing among nations.
This year. however, at independence
Square. Philadelphia. where the Cont
mental Congress declared that the sea-
board our own and not Great Britain's,
President Wilson defended his act in
giving to Great Britain equal rights
with Americans in the Panama Canal,
the prize of the western continent, and
which cost more than the value of all
the colonies in 1875. and made a politi
cal speech defending his policies.

There is a persistent rumor about
the county that United States revenue
officers are at the present time ana
have been for some weeks engaged in
an investigation of the alleged manu-
factue and sale of "moanshine
whiskey in the Willimantic region.
Though it is understood that an inves
tigation is on no arrests have been
made as yet though it is intimateu
that something along the line of
prosecution may happen at any mo-
ment. Beginning years ago and con-
unulng to recent years the manufac-
ture of Willimantic smoke" has
furnished an occupation for some of
the residents of Wilimantic and adj
lacent territory. While the greater
part of the liquor has been manufac-
tured for home consumption it is said
that oftentimes anyone knowing the
ropes and possessed of a small amount
of money could purchase a pint or a
quart of the home made whiskey
which, to the eye, resembles milk and
water and which had burn that
would take the skin from the throat
of those drinking it unless it was
generously diluted with water. Reve-
nue. officers have been known to visit
the Sebec lake and Willimantic region
in the past and eight or nine years
ago they made a raid on the home of a
farmer which resulted in his arrest
and the seizure of a well-equipped still
and all its accessories.
