FAIR CROWD WILD WITH
ENTHUSIASM OVER PROGRAM
lFrom ThursdayIs Dnilvl

" 'NAh hhNAHAAAs iFtAiN
An immense crowd thronged the
Fair grounds today. The grand stand
was filled to capacity and scores of
autos We're parked around the race
course.
The baseball contest was between
Durango and Monte Vista, teams ap-
parently closely matched. In the
first inning each side scored one, the
runs being made by Walters and j..
McIntosch respectively.
In the second inning neither team
made n score. The feature of this
inning was fly catch made by Railey
when Dougherty made one of his
long left drives.
Not score was made on either
Semi-weekly herald., 1916-10-09

side in the third, fourth and fifth in
nings. In the sixth inning Monte
Vista scored one, Sieber making
home run.
Durango scored in the seventh
inning, Monte Vista nothing.
In the eighth inning Monte Vista
scored and Durango nothing.
In the ninth inning neither side
scored The final score being 8 to
in favor of the visiting team.
The game was characterized by
the excellent pitching of O'Connell
for Durango and Anderson for
Monte Vista and spledid outfielding
and hard hitting.
Terror won the half mile running
race. Hope was second and Prince
Young, third.
In the half mile Indian race, Will
Panowa, Navajo, won first and
Bucksllin Charlie, Ute, second.
In the Colorado New Mexico Fair
derby race Paul Backinger's Dick
b. B. easily won first, making rapid
gains in the last quarter oqf a mile.
Barny Dryfus was second and Ra-
dium Sd.
The Indian relay race was the
most exciting event of the track pro-
gram during the afternoon. In this
VIII Panowa's string won first and
Andy Frost's second.
While the ball game and the races
attracted unusual attention at the
fair grounds perhaps the most inter
esting event of the program yester-
day was the big balloon ascension by
Prof. Rice.
Connected with the ascension was
the novel feature of advertising the
National Biscuit Co. When the aer-
onaut reached high elevation, one
by one, packages were turned loose
by him. As they descended to the
earth the boys on the grounds, by
the hundreds, raced to the place
WHY tll' PetehoSto ldll.
dozen packages were turned loose
and the boys had great time
scrambling for them.
Bill, Wilson the National Biscuit
Co. man, was on the ground. He
has been with this company for 16
years and during all that time never
saw, according to his statement, Zu
Zu gingersnaps as high as they were
yesterday evening about five o'clock
when Prof. Rice at an elevation of
some 1000 feet scattered the pack
ages to the winds. 1t was the gem
eral comment that the balloon ascen-
sion and attractions connected with
it, was perhaps the most exciting
event of the second day of the Colo
radoNew Mexico fair.
The balloon and parachute was
carried by southeast breeze to the
northwest where in sight of the
spectators the aeronaut and his big
balloon descended to the top of the
mountain back of Animas City.

players know what it means to have
the mind at ease in a ball game. 1t
means steady nerves and, everything
else being equal it means success.
1t is to the credit of all the ball
teams taking part in the fair tourna-
ment games that they play ball and
are not spending much time trying
to work the umpires."
The general comment is that the
baseball feature of the fair is one of
the chief features and draws the big
gest crowds. This is as it should be.
1t is the best of all American sports

Pointing to the fact that the con-

ly more prevalent during the school
months, that they subside promptly
with the closing Of schools for vaca-
ton periods and as promptly resume
prevalence with the reassembling of
classes, the state board of health yes
terday issued special bulletin setting
forth recommendations for the i'm
provement of school room conditions
and among other things declares that
the time honored practice Of fumiga-
ton of schools is useless, and should
be abandoned.
DR.. C. st. Clair Drake, the executive
officer of the board, declares that the
Illinois state board Of health, in ad-
vocating the abandonment Of fumiga-
ton gaseous disinfection) of school
rooms, is acting in accord with the
best of modern thought on the subject
of disinfection. 1t is his belief that
the new rules of the board for the
publication of infected school rooms
will prove much more efficient than
the old.

In lieu of fumigation with Tornado

recommends that the infected schools
shall hereafter be treated as follows
Careful removal Of dust from walls

Within three years time the Heald-
ton field has made place for itself
in the great oil producing area known
as the Mid Continent district
Deeper sands are being found, the
field is being extended and this one
field alone viii give up in wealth a
sum appropriatng five hundred mil
lion dollars.
The oil men of the state and nation
were careful in making investments
at Healdton. They were ultra con-
seryative. The Arbuckle field at
Madill had not done much and the
Santa Fe field in Carter county was
a poor pay field and oil men felt
that southern Oklahoma was the
Nazareth of the state, that no good
thing could come from this country.
But today the situation is changed.
Healdton has made comfortable
place for itself Producing leases
are in demand. Every lease in the
field is producing its maximum
capacity. The production that is not
going to the pipe lines is going to
storage. The small companies are
gradually selling out at big profits
and the field is passing into the
hands of the larger operators.
II looks now like the next big
fortunes would be made at Fox ia
this section of the state. That dis.
trict is still an unknown quantity.
The development work has been very
slow but sufficient progress has been
made to give the prospective field
the earmarks of big producing
area and the chances are good that
local people will make as many for
tunes at Fox as they made at Heald-
ton
In the development in Marshall
county Ardmore oil men have taken
the lead in investments. II is very
likely that a great oil field viii be
found in that county within year
from now and when it is found Ard |
more people will again be in on the
ground floor and will make many |
more oil fortunes.
The one chance that Ardmore has |
Of being an oil town is for its own |
people to reach out and take the
cream Of the oil areas and bring that |
wealth in here and centralize it and |
that wealth will find way to build |
