PRESENT COUNTY FAIR
BEST EVER HELD HERE
Great Crowd Attends on Opening Day.
Governor Hanna Here--Great Flow
er Exhibit.

Yesterday was the opening day Of
the Williams County Fair and it
opened the best one the county has
ever held with an attendance as large
or larger than any previous day at
any fair here. The Williston Concert
band furnished the music and we
heard many compliments for the ex-
cellent MUSIC and their continued play
ing.
Governor L. B. Hanna was present
and delivered a short address compll-
menting upon the excellent fair. The
Governor said he was surprised how
ever to learn that the county did not
give anything toward the fair. That
It was one of the best things county
had and needed support. He men,
toned the fact that Cass county gave
several thousand dollars toward their
fair every year.
Mr.. Shaw, the farm expert for the
Great Northern was also present and
gave short talk on farming, giving
most of his time to corn.
The exhibits at the fair this year
are eye openers to everyone, calling
our attention as never before to the
wonderful resources of this county:
The floral exhibit is one of the best if
not the best ever seen in the state and
manv who saw the exhibit at the
Grand Forks fair say ours is much
better.
There were three races yesterday
besides the auto race.
The first race was a quarter mile
running race, best two out of three
heats. Joe D. won in two straight
heats. Cloudy Dan second and Lizzie
Brooks third.

WHY THE WEEDS

Just why do we spend our energies
having a Cleanup week in the spring,
and then let the weeds on the vacant
lots grow so tall through the summer
that they almost shut out the view ct
the lawns and gardens that are Kept

In the harness race there were put
three horses entered and each one
took a heat. AS the race was best
two in three Florence Edith was de-
clared winner with one first and two
seconds. Maybud second with one first
and two thirds.
The auto race was a very interest
ing one for the first half, every car
but the Ford running well. The Ford
was not in proper shape when 1t went
on and therefore did not make the
showing it could have and should have
made. DR.. Weiderholt started hrst
with the red car, Bob Kebosky second
with the Maxwell, Bob Bruegger third
with the Hollier Eight, and the Ford
fourth. The red car held the head for
several rounds but had trouble and
then fell back, the Maxwell taking the
lead. Bob Bruegger later won the
lead and held it for several rounds but
he had trouble and was in turn passed
bv the Maxwell. The Maxwell won
the race which was ten miles, the
time being ID minutes 26 Ia seconds.
The Hollier Eight got second money,
the Red Car third and the Ford
fourth.
There will be another race tomor-
row afternoon between at least three
of those entered in yesterdays race.
A bowery dance was given on the
Metzger corner under the manage
ment of the Fair Association and
every one there enjoyed it very much.
The bowery is being enlarged and the
dancers tonight and tomorrow night
will be given a chance to have even a
better dance than the one Wednesday

nominated for the third term that he
denounced in such vigorous language
twelve years ago. when he was try

have scorned a nomination secured
by money and whiskey. Is 1t pos

Lives THREATENED
BY DEMOCRATIC DELAY
Construction Of tuberculosis
Hospitals Had To Go
Over.
~ 11vs

Washington, Sept. t5.-proper
protection against tuberculosis and
trach0ma, dread diseases that threat
ened the lives and health not only Of
American Indians but American cftj-
zens in their vicinity, was delayed
an entire year by the Democratic
Congress.
Failure of the Democrats in the
first session of the present Congress
to pass the Indian appropriation bill
until late in the summer prevented
the Indian Bureau from letting con-
tracts for tuberculosis and trachoma
hospitals promptly, and their con-
structiOn had to go over to the fol-
lowing season.
In urging the immediate necessity
for these hospitals officials from the
Indian Bureau testified to members
OF Congress that entire Indian tribes
might be wiped out If the ravages of
disease among them were not check
ed. 1t was also claimed that the lack
of adequate facilities for quarantine
was menace to thousands of citi-
zens in communities near various
reservations.
In spite of these alarming warn
ings, the passage of the bill was de-
layed week after week. The money
was still unappropriated at the close
of the fiscal year, and twice for per-
iods of two weeks temporary appro-
priations were passed. Under neith-
er of these, however, could anything
be done toward providing the hospi-
tails.
BY the time the bill was finally
passed, it was too late to secure bids
and let contracts for the proposed
isolation and sanitary hospitals, and
they were not built until next year.
This is but one instance of the
many disastrous effects caused by
Democratic methods in
Indian appropriations. Not
only hospitals but dormitories, school
buildings, agency quarters and other
similar structures were set back a
year in construction.
Furthermore, the Democrats failed
to pass this years Indian bill at all.
A re-enactment of last years appro-
priation became necessary, forcing
the Indian Bureau to conduct its af-
fairs on plans nearly two years old.
and thus putting an untold check up
on its efficiency.

FARM sheep COSTS
DISCUSSED IN Detail
Marketing Of Lambs is Profit
able-Gains From Feeding
Forage and Grain.

During the last few years a grea
many cOrn-belt farmers have estab
lished herds of breeding cows to pro.
duce' steers for market. Increased
market values have given promise OF
profit in this line. The lessened vol
ume and added cost of western sup
plies are less serious than formerly
as a handicap upon the development
of farm beef-raising industry.
The same changed economic con-
ditions that are bringing the center
of beef production farther east have
equal force in relation to the produc-
tion of mutton and lambs, although
the return to production on farms
has been less general in the case of
sheep than with beef cattle. Con-
tinued good prices for sheep and diff
ficulties in securing labor. however,
have caused a marked revival of in
terest in the marketing of lambs
from eastern farms. 1t is becoming
more generally understood that the
marketing flambs at around IS per
head at the time they are ready to
wean is a practical proposition. Dur
ing nearly all of such a lambs stay
upon the farm its mother harvests
all the feed needed for both, and dur
ing the rest of the year subsists large
ly upon feed which she gathers her
self and which would otherwise not
be utilized at all.
The Illinois Experiment Station
has recently published the results of
experiments conducted to show the
most economical methods of raising
lambs and maintaining breeding
ewes. Sixty lambs dropped in March
1915, when weighed July 16 averag-
ed 67.6 pounds per head. On the ba-
sis of current market values on July
3. this lot of lambs was worth $780,
30. These 60 lambs were raised by
As ewes. The average cost per eve
and her lambs for feed and pasture
from March % to July 16 was $225.
The same ewes were fed for the en-
tire period of pregnancy GAS days.
preceding the birth of their 1914
lambs at an average cost of 76 cents
per head. This gives the cost of
eve and her lamb as 1928 for 225
days, during which time the lamb is
made ready for market. The value
Of the ewes fleece would more than
offset the cost of her pasturage dur
ing the remaining 110 days from
July 16 to November 3.
Another interesting and valuable
suggestion from this experiment is
found in the fact that 20 lambs rails
ed with their mothers upon forage
crops weighed pounds per head
more than those raised upon blue
grass pasture (grain was fed in each
case) and were sold at higher price
per pound, bringing $1.55 per head
more than the bluegrass lambs. The
difference in cost of raising was
slightly in favor of the forage lot.
while the ewes from that lot had
market value, when the lambs were
weaned, of $3.50 per head more than I
hose kept on blue grass. I
