MORE FAIR PRIZES

The boys and girls of Valley Coun-
ty are to receive more prizes in COM
parison than any other exhibitors at
the Valley County Fair. One of the
prizes offered for boys has been hung
up by the Valley County News and
consists of five dollars in cash as a
second premium for the boy under Is
years of age showing the best ten
ears of corn. The corn of this coun-
ty this year will not be as good as
last year, yet any boy bringing in
the best he has grown stands good
chance of winning this prize and there
should be very large exhibit from
all over the, county.
For the girl 16 years or under who
shows the best cooking exhibit the
Valley County News will give five
dollars in cash. Here is where the
girls can show how we'll they are pre-
pared to attend the household duties
and how cleverly they can mix the
ingredients which make up an appe-
tizing feast for mere man. Every
girl in the county without doubt is
a clever cook and this prize ought to
help in making a very big showing
at the fair this fall.

BUMPER CROPS UP NORTH
State Land Agents Marvel at Heavy
Stands of Grain

Stands of Grain
After making a trip of over 700
miles through the northern parts Of
Valley and Sheridan counties, State
Land Agent c. A. Whipple and Depu-
ty Register Of State Lands Joseph
Oker expressed themselves in an in
terview in the Helena Independent, as
being amazed at the bumper crop that
would be harvested this fall in this
part Of the state.
Mr.. Whipple and Mr.. Oker made
the trip to look over about 100000
acres of land lying in Valley and
Sheridan counties extending up to the
Canadian boundary, on which settlers
have made homes. They investigated
to see how many settlements ante
dated the withdrawal of the land for
the state two or three years ago. The
result of their findings will be includ-
ed in report to be prepared later.
"It is marvellous the way. that coun-
try has settled up," said Mr.. Whipple.
"There are huge tracts of wheat and
oats and flax all looking fine. Grain
is ripening now, but little harvesting
has been done. Everybody is busy
haying and; preparing for harvest"

been appointed Wiz make obser-
vations as they are doing their mar
keting and make their decision at the
end of the year.
Occasionally articles will be writ
ten on the subject and printed in the
local papers. Some of the things the
ladies will observe is the absence of
flies from fruit, meat, cooked articles,
etc. Some have suggested that q
screened display window or a screen
ed show case would be an excellent
thing. They will also observe whe-
ther or not pickle barrels and other
food receptacles are properly covered,
also different kinds of foods are pro-
perly handled.

COMMISSIONERS
FIX TAX LEVY
Levy for County Purposes Made
by Board Monday
HIGHER THAN LAST YEAR
Splitting of County and Decrease in
Assessed Valuation Makes High
er Levy Necessary.

The tax levy for 1915 was made
by the Board Of County Commission
ers on Monday, August 9th. Besides
making the levy the Board met to
hear any protests against the assess
ments that were raised but none came
before the Board.
For the County Commissioners fix
ed the tax levy at 231s mills on the
dollar. This levy is considerably high
er than last year, the raise being due
to several causes, the separation of
Phillips county and the decrease in
the assessed valuation being the chief
ones. The levy for county purposes
is divided as follows:

FIND OIL INDICATIONS

The big oil boom put on in Calgary
a couple Of years ago is apt to fade
into insignifcance when compared to
the oil boom that Glentana is liable
to experience any'of these fine autumn
mornings, says the Glentana Report
er. ~
Frank Pottenger, who has a big
homestead out in the Roanwood, thee
miles north of Glentana, has been
wading more or less in crude oil out
there for the past year. He has found
gobs of it in his water pail and in the
sands along his creek; in every rock
and crevice there is indication of oil
in paying quantities. So the first OF
the week Frank persuaded an oil ex-
pert who happened to be in Glentana
to go out and look over the prospects.
The expert spent day or so out
there and returned with glowing re-
ports of the field, also with several
samples of the oil which he has sent
to a chemist in Pittsburgh. The re-
port of the eastern chemist will be
awaited with much anxiety, and If
favorable, it is possible that real
oil boom will be in full swing in the
north country long before the yellow
cars on the oy-Opheim- Nashua elec-
trio line wend their hesitating way
along the water grade from the main
line town into this peerless region.

WILLISTON GETS TRIMMED

Local bail Team wins and lies with
Dakotans in Two Game Series.
The fast Williston team, claiming
the championship Of western North
Dakota, ran into snag Saturday and
Sunday when they encountered team
composed largely of players from
this seasons Glasgow team.
Two games were played, one on Sat-
urday and one Sunday afternoon. Sat-
urday's game was a sad affair for
the pride of the city of "opportunit-
ies," for with crippled lineup the
Glasgow team beat them by a score
Of to 3, and it might have been a
shut-out, but for fielding errors, as
only three hits were the Dakotans
able to get off Cadreau.
The Glasgow team lived up to it's
old reputation of hitting the ball on
the nose and found the two Williston
pitchers for ten safe blows, and a
total of seven runs. Hits, when hits
meant runs did much to win the game
for the local boys, the heavy clouts
of Joe Corrigan and Jerry Kelly all
coming at opportune times. The two
players just mentioned, Corrigan and
Kelly, both hit for double and a
triple.
At no time was Glasgow in danger
Of losing the game and Cadreau had
the Williston batters at his mercy,
retiring them at will.
The second game Of the series, a
seven inning affair was played SUM-
day afternoon with Handschu and Ca
dreau as the opposing pitchers. Al
Though he pitched the day before.
Cadreau did good work and deserved
to win his game, but ragged support
in the field let Williston have several
runs. Glasgow was the first to score,
getting two runs in the first inning,
one in the second, and one in the
third. Williston got three in the
third, and two later on in the game,
the score standing to 4 in favor of
Williston when Glasgow went to bat
in the seventh. Glasgow scored one
run in their half of the inning, tying
the score. The game was called i'm
mediately at the close of this inning
to allow the Glasgow team to catch
No. 8. The box score of Saturdays
game follows.

MAKES PLEA AGAINST WAR
Christler in New York Urges InAex-
ible Stand Against War

Rev. Leonard J. Christler of Havre.
Montana, delivered an interesting SER
mon on "The Child of the Church and
the Child of the State" at St. Johns
Episcopal Church. says the Auburn
IN. W Advertiser-Journal of August
End. On account of Mr.. Christler's
popularity the church was filled with
many people of other denominations.
Mr.. Christler' described an enorm-
GUS engine generating power to turn
hundreds of wheels and drive hum
dreds of, machines, to heat and light
and furnish motive power for hum
dreds to exc out living. He spoke
of the different parts of the engine
and said that in order for the machine
to run smoothly it was necessary for
every part to be perfect.
"As the cylinder, the fly wheel and
shaft form the. perfect organism of
the engine, so also it is with this
human body Of ours" Mr.. Christler
said. "The cylinder, the human mind,
the fly wheel the human soul. and the
sible, destroy human life, devastate
cut and carved from the mountain of
truth by Gods eternal law of right
adjustments maketh the man or the
woman capable of doing mighty work
in the, vast unmeasurable field of duty
and service around us. The perfec-
tion Of the parts produces, the per-
fection of the whole. If we choose we
can shirk our responsibility, but then
we can never reach perfection, and we
cannot, expect to touch. our careers
with the finger of right human pro-
gress.
Places Value on Worship
ITO be a child of the church is to
place a value upon worship, sacra-
ments and the, Bible, through which
God unseals his lips and speaks to
our immortal souls. If it were pos
sible to keep the child of the church
and the child of the state one, then
we would have more of the grand
qualities of both, qualities of love,
enlarged life, intensified ambitions
which would tend to relieve the hung
ering, thirsting humanity and pro-
mote Christian civilization.
on these SOLDERING days to be a
child of the state is to lay stress on
the sacredness of American Citizen
ship, but as long. as we keep praying
for peace with eyes upturned TO the
shes while. our h:.n1s are behind us

lery and guns tha. make warfare pos
siLle, destroy human life. de, ,stats
homes and bring terrible cost in years
Of sorrow and suffering and poverty;
we shall find our inconsistencies him
dering our progress in working out
the functions Of our government, the
principles of pure democracy and all
things. for which America realty
stands.
"As children of the state our op-
position to war must become final
and inf1exible. America would be
glad to prohibit the cannon. Without
the cannon there could be no war;"

Shuts Out Giants for the
Superbas, Who Move
Into Fifth Place.
LOWERING CLOUDS
AID MASTER TWIRLERS
Big Six FaIters in the Eighth
and Brooklyn Bunches Hits
for Extra Runs.

Jack Coombs and Matty the Master
renewed hostilities on the diamond
after lapse of four years at Ebbets
Field yesterday afternoon. The fate
of no worlds series swung in the bal
ance, and Coombs, a member of the
Philadelphia Athletics when he last
met Matty, wore the livery of the
BROOKLYN Superbas. Coombs, who won
series of 1911 By a score of 8 to 2,
triumphed again yesterday and by a
score of to 0.
It was the third consecutive victory
of the Superbas over the Giants, and
as a result they moved into fifth place,
sharing their new quarters with the
Boston Braves. Charles II. Ebbets IS
already devising ways and means Of
handling the crowd which he believes
will storm Ebbets Field to watch the
worlds series. The Giants, betime,
are sojourning in seventh place.
Matty and Coombs fought as If
something more lasting than the result
Of a baseball game depended. Until
the eighth inning there was little TO
choose, although the Superbas got a
run in the first frame, and that loomed
large as the game progressed. Finally
Matty faltered under the gruelling
pace, and in the eighth inning the Su-
perbas punched three hits for two runs,
which settled the issue once and for
all
1t was day for bitter fight. Dark
and lowering the rain clouds hung low
on the horizon, threatening TO break
at any time and deluge the field. In
deed, toward the end of the game u
did rain, and few seconds after Dau-
bert felded Lobert's drive for the tnal
out the food gates opened. Both
pitchers cut loose fast one after fast
one. Once the ball had been hit few
times and become blackened up the
fans could scarcely follow its fight
from pitcher to plate. The hitting was
light. New York got four hits OIL
Coombs the Superbas touched Matty
for seven.
There is scarcely a cat too old to
play with straws, and no ball player IS
100 experienced not to fall into the
simplest tricks of the game. SO 1t
would seem, at any rate, for even
Matty was SHARED in trap that ne
and Roger Bresnahan caught many
Dlaver in wears ago. 1t happened in
the third inning. Matty coaXed q base
on halls away from Coombs and ran to
second on a passed ball. He took 'hird
on Dovle's hit to left. Doyle broke
out to steal second and Miller drew
hack as if to shoot the throw. He
made perfect bluff, and Matty blum
dered off third. Like fash Miller
made real throw to Getz, and Matty
was soon run down.
That was not the only unusual feat
ure Of the afternoon. In the fourth
inning Cutshaw got on first base,
thanks to a boot by Doyle, and made
il evident that he wanted TO get TO
second. Stengel came up with orders
