ANNUAL FARMERS PICNIC
STARTS MONDAY MORNING
EVERYTHING READY FOR OPENING EXHIBITS
CONTINUE TO POUR IN
RACES WILL BE BEST EVER HELD HERE
Big Purses Attract Many Horsemen Motorcycle Races
Daily. Many Free Amusement Features Ex-
hibits now being Arranged

Everything will be in readiness
when the gates of the Valley County
Fair swing open to the public at 9
o'clock Monday morning. The past
few weeks have been busy ones for
Secretary Moore and now with, the
fair but few days off, indications
are that it will be the best ever held
in the county. The first day of the
fair will probably be the biggest Of
the three, with many of the most ir :.
teresting features scheduled to hap
pen, and record breaking crowd is
expected, weather permitting.
The 1915 fair is to have a great
variety of features. In planning for
the fair the management has kept
in mind its purpose to make the fair,
first educational and instructive and
second entertaining. This does not
mean that the entertainment feature
has in any way been neglected. In
fact there are some excellent enter
tainment features each day. There
will be band concert in the down.
town district every morning and num-
erous other entertainment features at
the fair grounds. Comedy acrobats
with an act that is hard to surpass
will perform each afternoon in front
of the grandstand and should be a
big drawing card.
The biggest entertainment feature
of the fair will be the races. With
out doubt they will be the best ever
held here. Horses from all parts of
Montana and adjoining states have
been given their try-outs on the
track. Judging from the number of
horses here now, every race will be
filled and hotly contested, insuring
plenty of interest in each of the MANY
events.
A five mile motorcycle race daily
during the fair will be watched for
eagerly by those who remember the
races last year and the keen rivalry
that existed. This years races should
be as good if not better and all form
er records for this track will undoubt-
edly be smashed to smithereens. The
big purses offered to winners in these
events will spur the riders on even
more to outstrip anything that has
ever been seen here before.
The big ten mile automobile race
will be feature on Wednesday af-
ternoor. Automobile racing was a
much discussed subject last fall and
the races at the fair should attract ev-
cry racing enthusiast there for that
day.
The various exhibits, all in charge
of competent people, promise to be

HUNTING SEASON OPENS

The number of ducks and prairie
chickens in Valley County are consid-
erably fewer since the hunting season
opened Wednesday morning. Num-
erous parties from Glasgow set out
in quest of the feathered tribe and
brought home good bags. Several
auto loads went up to Lake Bowdoin
but they did very little shooting on
account of the disease that seems to
be prevalent among the ducks there
this season. :.

DROWNED IN BRUSH LAKE
H. c. Hansen and Wife Perish When
Boat Upsets.

H. c. Hansen and Wife Perish When
Boat Upsets.
II. c. Hansen and his wife, owners
OF the resort at Brush Lake, east of
Antelope in Sheridan county, were
drowned in the lake Saturday after
noon when row boat was upset in
the middle of the lake. Mrs. Han
sens body is still at the bottom of
the lake which is said to be very deep.
The accident which cost both the
man and woman their lives, occurred
within sight of their children on
shore. It is said that Hansen had
hired a new assistant at the resort
to operate the motor boat which was
kept for the use of picnic parties.
Saturday afternoon Hansen went out
on the lake with his assistant in the
boat to show him how it should be
operated.
When the boat was near the middle
of the lake the motor refused to 20,
and Hansen signalled his wife on
shore to come out in the skiff and
take them to shore.
When the small rowboat was along
side the motorboat Hansen stepped
into it and in doing so turned it
over. The man and woman were
both thrown into the water and soon
sank from view. Hansen's assistant
was unable to give any assistance.
The children who saw the drowning
of both their parents called help from
neighbor's and the lake was dragged
Saturday evening and Sunday Mrs
Hansen's body floated to the surface
and was recovered. The Hansens
formerly lived at Racine, Wis, COM
ing west more than a year ago and
filing on the land surrounding Brush
Lake for a homestead.

unusually interesting this year. Many
entries have already been received by
Secretary Moore and hundreds more
are expected. The grain, vegetable
and livestock exhibits all promise to
be large and unusually interesting,
the fair management striving to make
these exhibits tell the story of Valley
County's progress.
Several of the Glasgow merchants
will have displays at the fair grounds
which will be interesting and instruct
i've, and there will be the usual num-
ber of amusement features, the lem
onade stands, the sandwich stands and
all of the clean, legitimate amusements
usually found at the fair.
The $4,000 offered in premiums for
farm products, with a prize for ev-
erything grown on the farm will be
worth going after by every farmer
in the county; the $500 in racing
purses, with six fast races every day,
will be an inducement for the horse
men to put forth their best efforts to
be in the money; six free funny shows
each day will entertain the crowds,
affording amusement to both old and
young and the concerts by the Glas-
gov band will prove as popular as
FEVER.
Monday, September 9Th will be La
Dor Day, Tuesday, Children's Day,
when every boy and girl under 18
years of age will be admitted free.
Wednesday will be J. J. Hill and NAL
ia Day. A special train from Malta,
stopping at all points en- route to Glas-
gov will arrive in the city Wednesday
morning and the special inducement
of one and third fare should bring
many here from the west end.

PREPARING FOR
SCHOOL TERM
Vacation Days Almost Over for
School "Kids''
TERM BEGINS SEPT. 18th
List of Teachers and Subjects for the
Coming Year. Increase in Num-
of Pupils Expected.

Vacation days will soon be over for
the Glasgow school children. On Mon-
day, September 18th, the doors Of the
local institution of learning will again
swing open for the 1915-1916 term.
The date Of opening the schools was
placed after the county fair in order
to secure a full attendance at school
the first day. A big increase in at
tendance is looked for in the high
school, as the many advantages offer
ed will bring many students from
other counties here. The graded school
from present indications will also
have their full quota Of pupils.
The teachers employed for the Glas-
gov city schools and the departments
taught by each are as follows:
High School
D. S. Williams will teach Medieval
and Modern History, Civics and Mod
ern History.
Miss Bessie L. Dougherty, English
and Music.
Miss Johanna C. Lind, Latin and
Domestic Science.
Miss Harriet P. Switzer, Ancient
History and Commercial Subjects.
Mr.. J. C. Gould, Science and Mathe-
matics.
Mr.. A. w. Buckman, Mechanic Arts
and Athletics.
South Side Grammar School
Mr.. Roy Huber and Miss Eva Ham,
mond will teach all the eighth grade
and south side students in the seventh
and sixth grades under departmental
plan.
Miss Vera Hickok and Miss Nora
Ebersole will each have sections of
the fourth and fifth grades.
Miss Jessie Fair and Eleanor Har-
roun will teach sections of the second
and third grades.
Miss Madeline Parker will teach all
of the south side first grade pupils.
North Side Grammar School
Mr.. j. c. Lawton will teach the
sixth and seventh grades.
Miss Lucy Gaynor, fourth and fifth
grades.
Miss Lillian Harlin, second and
third grades.
Miss Minda johnson, first grade.
All students above the first grade
and below the seventh grade who are
conveyed in the school busses should
attend the school at the south side
building. Two sections have been
provided for the second and third
grades and also for the fourth and
fifth grades in the south side build
ing in order to obviate the crowded
conditions of these departments last
year. 1t may be necessary to make
some transfers from one side of the
city to the other, but it will be done
so as to work as little hardship as
possible on the students. It is quite
essential that all the students enroll
on the first day so that the transfer
can be attended to at once.
Promotions are made with the un-
derstanding that students enter the
first day of school the following year.
A complete program of classes will
be heard the first day, so no student
! can afford to delay entering. Stu
dents in all departments who have not
attended school in Glasgow should see
Mr.. Williams in his Office at the High
School building Thursday or Friday
previous to the opening of school so
that he may arrange for their classi-
fcation.

TRACE R0BbFR|ES
TO SMALL BOYS
Epidemic of Crime Traced t.
Three Youpthful Culprits
at Wahpeton.

W%ahpeton, N. D., Jan. 1S.-For some
weeks past the Lundquist Variety
store has been the victim of a series
Of robberies, hereby small u1n OF
money and various articles of msr
chandise were stolen. On two coca.
sions the thieves entered the store
through the rear, by breaking win.
dows. ETC., and riled the till, taking
several dollars in small change and
several articles Of stock. Efforts to
trace the culprits proved unavailing,
although it was easy to see that the
work was that of rank amateurs.
Pennies In Circulation.
Last Sunday night the store was
again entered, and this time over $12
in pennies, some other change and
several valuable articles were taken,
including a revolver in Mr.. Lund.
quist's desk.
Determined to catch the thieves at
n cost this time, the police were
called in and all stores were notified
to be on the watch for anyone eXhib-
iting. any large number of pennies
Before long the Wahpeton Hardware
company reported that a. young boy
was trying to purchase some shells
for a revolver and offered in payment
a handful Of pennies. Also the Wah-
peton Candy Kitchen reported several
sales of candy to small boys in great
er frequency than usual. who mad
each time paid for their purchases in
pennies.
Working on this clue, the officers
were soon able to round up the des,
perate trio which had been guilty OF
the depredations upon the treasury
Of the Variety store.
Prove Youthful Robbers.
They proved to be three young
boys of this city, the Oldest one about
IL and the other two about 7 Or 5
years. When Mr.. lLundquist found
out who the culprits We're he refused
to take any action in the matter,
leaving their punishment entirely ur
to their parents. The boys made g
frightened, fearful confession.
The major part Of the booty Sc
cured in the last Sunday night raid
was found in the possession of the
boys. It is believed that the two
younger boys were only the willine
followers Of the Oldest one in this
case.
The Oldest one of the same trio
has been implicated in several cases
Of similar nature during the past yea
or so. -

Cooperation Necessary.
At present there are sections Of the

ers' have been meeting in Fargo every
January and at, each cognition farm
ers from all parts Of the states Of
North Dakota, Minnesota and South
Dakota increase in number and next
week q record breaking crowd is ex-
pected,
1t has been the growth of THIS an
nual meeting that was the principai
reason for the erection of the splendid
new auditorium, which was so ap-
propriately dedicated on January 4,
S. and s, and for the first time in the
history there will be an ideal place
where the farmers can gather, lis
ten to the valuable addresses that
will be made and talk shop.
Large numbers Of farmers have
beeu looking forward to this owen
ton for a long time. They have been
planning and arranging their work so
that they could come here and spend
the four days in a way that has al
ways proven profitable to them. They
have always liked, to come to Fargo

portunity Of meeting in the finest
auditorium In the west--one that will
give them ample room.
Fine Convention.
The Grain Growers convention has
been one Of the factors in the agri-
cultural development of the north
west. Barring the agricultural col:
leges. Of the three states interested
there is probably not another i~nstitu-
ton that has done SO much genuine
good work in the betterment Of rural
conditions and has increased the pro-
Auctivity Of the farms Of the northwest
more than this annual convention.
~, !, Rorticuiturists to Meet.
One Of the features in connection
with the annual convention of the
Trtstate Grain Growers association,
will be the usual meeting of the North
Dakota horticultural society, which
fol. years has held its meetings at the
same time as the larger organization.
This year the program will be held
on Thursday forenoon in the new au-
ditorium. The Grain Growers have
given over this part of that day to
the society and a good program has
been arranged. As the Grain Grow
ers' will not have a meeting at the
same time, the farmers attending the
convention will be given an opportu-
nifty to take in this meeting, which is
one Of the most important Of the en-
tire week. &C.,.
