BY Oliver {. Remey, Secretary.

Madison, Aug. This year, for
the first time since Wisconsin took
rank with other leading states in the
matter of an annual state exposition
Wisconsin will present a truly Wis.,
cOnsin fair.
Because of prevalence during carly
months of the year Of the foot and
mouth disease, horse, cattle, swine,
sheep and poultry classifications were
closed to all except Wisconsin exhibl-
tors. Not all of these classif1cations
come under the dreaded disease, but
It was thought best to make sweep,
ing order and ascertain just how the
Wisconsin idea works out.
State Fair officials have received
every assurance from exhibitors con-
cerned that unusual efforts tor
strong exposition of Wisconsin re-
sources will be made.
Therefore, with the best attractions
ever presented at the Wisconsin state
Fair, with the best music and great
est number of bands ever gathered
on the fair grounds, and with Talr
proper strongly augmented IN all I'M
pCrtant departments, patrons OF Ihe
fair this year will be more tnan
pleased.

lives of 256 passengers and crew of
the French liner, La Touraine, was

Philadelphia, March 9-With a
view of raising the domestic relations
and juvenile branches of the munic-
ipal court to the highest point of ef-
ficiency, an investigation of the court
has been begun by the Bureau of Mu-
nicipal Court Judges. The aid of the
Research bureau was enlisted through
the efforts of Judge Brown, president
of the municipal court, who believes
that scientific study of the courts
records at the present period of it's
development is highly desirable. Di-
rector Ralph Bowman of the Re-
search bureau, stated the investiga-
ton is to analyze the accumulated
facts in the court records and to pro-
vide for such continuous analysis in
the future view of interpreting
causes and effects so as to make for
constructive and preventive social
work.

PLAY FOR DISTRICT TITLE
Bemidji to Meet Little Falls in That
City Next Thursday Evening
Locals Are Picked To Win.
RoYALToN COMING SATURDAY

With the, championship of the
sixth congressional district at stake,
the Bemidji and Little Falls high
school basketball teams will play in
that city Thursday evening of this
week. Should Bemidji win the con-
test it will give the team of this city
a right to represent the district at
the state high school tournament
which is to be played on the Carleton
college floor at Mortified on March
IS, 10 and 20.
In case Bemidji should loose at
Little Falls a return game will be
played here Saturday night, the five
having the highest total score in the
two games to be declared the district
champion.
Bemidji's record is much better
than that of Little Falls, nine games
having been won and none lost. The
Bemidji team has scored total of
455 points to their opponents 70, an
average of 81 to 9 per game. Little
Falls has lost three contests, having
been defeated by Wadena, Royalton
and Aitkin. Next to Bemidji, Little
Falls has established a better record
than any other quint in the district
and as the two teams have not met
the deciding game is necessary. 60
These are the Bemidji scores to
