Grain Suffering From Heat.

County Agent Henderson re-
ports that the excessive hot
weather is blighting the grow
ing grain somewhat, last Satur-
day being a particularly bad
day. He reports some rust in
the late grain. but on the bet-
ter fields more advanced he has
not been able to detect enough
to make the situation alarm
ing. This section of the state
has had no rain during the
last week and some moisture
at this time would be very
beneficial, if followed with
cool weather. While the con-
dition Of the crop is not as
favorable as il was q week ago,
there is no cause for immedi-
ate alarm.

has growqa to such 'propor
that it would seem almost nee
eessary to make a three or even
"a four days fair.
Charlie Chaplin was without
a question the rnostpopular in
dividuai of fair week. Manag-
er Blades, who had secured
this high class comedian for
the Grand, filled the house to
capacity at every performance.
Chief of Police Carlson is
entitled to great credit for the
orderly and~eystematic manner
in WHICH he handled the
enormous d o. w&n town
crowds. Without some traffic
regulations, rigidly enforced,
numerous accidents would
no doubt have occurred.
The accommodations of the
rest tent provided by the Votes
for Women club were highly
appreciated.
Fake attractions and ques-
tionable concessions were re-
ligiously barred from the
grounds and not a >.single com
plaint. was heard from the
thousands of visitors.
Westhope, our wide awake e
neighbor to the north, sent a
big delegation, headed by the
Westhope band, boosting for
the Market Day to be held in
that town August 9.
Dances at ~Ohmart' hall both
Tuesday and Wednesday nigh IS
helped to furnish evening"
amusement for youth and
beauty. ~
The ;platfor,n >-attractions
were of strictly high class and
highly enjoyed. ,Unfortunat--
ely, Ola account of the inn
mense crowds, there Were hum
dreds of visitors who were u1l-
eable to see these. The4sugges-
ton has been made that the
platform be raised a couple
feet higher. which would af-
ford a view Tor. many who can :
not secure seats in the grand
stand or ,bleachers.
Secretary WilsGn had the
.whole situation so well in hand
that the entire two davs
program went through without
hitch anywhere i'm the pro-
ceedings.
.Itwas the most orderly and
law-abiding crowd that coul d
ever .be congEegated and there
was NO occurrence to mar the
the pleasure of the visitors.
The hotel accom- mDdatiOns
OF the city proved entirely in
adequate and. while many pri-
xate homes were thrown open
to relieve the situation, some
were compelled to sleep in
their automobiles or where
ever they could improvise a
bed. -.
AZ usual, the naoto1ogc Gle
races proved one of the big
rawing cards of the fair.

summer meeting of the North
Dakota Pres 8 association,
which will be held at Lake
Metigoshe August 4, D and 6,
has just been completed by the
com mittees in charge.
AS is customary at the sum-
mer conventions of the assoCia-
ton, most of the time will be
given over to amusement and
recreation. Lake Netigoshe
offers particular opportunities
for a few DAYS outing and va
cation for the hard workin &
newspaper man and his family
and, with this in mind, the
local committee is exerting
every effort to make the meet
ing one of the most enjoyable
ever held.
Judging from the reserva
tons already made with the
local committee, it is apparent
that most of the visiting edit
ors will make the trip by auto
mobiles, and are planning to
make an extended stay at this
delightful summer resort.
The convention program will
open Friday morning at 10
o'clock with a business session.
An afternoon session will also
be held, thus doing away with
all the business affairs of the
association on the first day.
During the afternoon session
the visiting ladies will be III
charge of a ladies committee
on entertainment, a launch trip
of the lake including the after
Moons diversion. At the con.
clusiOn of the business session
the gentlemen will be given a
trip of the lake.
At seven o'clock an open air
band concert will be given by
the Bottineau Military Band at
the west side resort, followed
by dance in Burnett dance
hall.
Saturday forenoon will be
given over to boating, fishing
and bathing, while the after
noon will be taken up with a
program of minor sports.
"A number of valuable prizes
for the different events are
given by the various supply
houses. 1t is also probably
that ball game between the
association members and a
local team will be staged.
La the evening the editors
and their ladies will be the
guests of the Bottineau Com
1nercial Club at a banquet
VIII, h will be served ia mann
moth tent .35x7O. which has
been secured for the occasion.
An innovation is Sunday
program, which includes a
special song service in the
large assembly tent. Some ex-
ceptionally fine music has been
prepared for this occasion. In
the afternoon there will be a
sacred concert 10y the Bottineau
Military Band, including some
fine solo numbers.
Nothing is being left undone
by the Bottineau Commercial al
Club to make the 1916 summer
meeting of the N. ID. P. A. the
most enjoyable ever held. The
picturesque beauty of the Tnr-
tie Mountains, with the wood
ed hills and valleys, winding
roadways and numerous silvery
lakes makes it an ideal spot in
North Dakota for a gathering
of this kind.

BOT TlNEAU COUNTY
FAIR BIGGER THA> yER

The biggest and best fair
ever held in aBottineau county
came to a close yesterday after.
noon with stock parade be-
fore the grand stand. 4
Yesterdav,wss the big day of
the fair and it rs estinsa ted that
between z, 900 and 8,00O ,people
visited ,the SHOW during the.
day. The attendance on Tues
day WAS also very good, al
though mot up to the size of
yesterdays, s, crowd, due to,the
threatening aspect of the
weather during tte ,morning
hours.
Not only in attendance, but
also in attractions a,nd exhibits,
did the 1916 fair excel any fair
ever held in this section of the
state.
AS quite a number of the
stockmen in the county were
exhibiting ataGrand Forks, the
entries:in this department were
not as many as would other
wise have been the case, b.zt,
all in all, the showing was very
creditable.
The poultry exhibit stood es-t
as the spritne department of the
entire fair and many who visit
ed thissdepartfnent agreed. that
nothing finer of it's kilad had
ever been shown in the state.
The art department. was of a
particular rlv high class and 3g,
excellence was fully up to the
exhibits of the Fargo and
Grand Forks fairs.
The department Of agricul
tural products was also fas'
better than in former years.
there being splendid array
of entries in grains, ~grassea
: and vegetables.
From the amusement stand,
point nothing ,remaimed ito be-
wished for. Tuesday norning
Overly and Onlemee played an
exciting game of balf result
ing in a score of~@3 to 2 in favor
of Ornemee. "Wednesday fore
noon Bottineau defeated Souris
in what started out as a good
game by a a.score Of II to 4. up
to the eighth ,inning the score
stood 4 to 5 an favor of Botti-
neau, but in this frame the locals
landed on the Souris tmirler
unnercifully and totaled up
sixamore ruins. ;Lansford was
booked for the game here. but
failed to show up and Souris
consented to fill in with team
at the last moment. AS a re-
suit the visitors went into the!
game with a rather ,cosmopoli-
tan team, compesed. Of players.
from Souris. Carbsry and.
Omemee.
The horse races were of
high order and next week we
hope to DE able to give, ,ttae COM
plete score on the different
events.
The motorcycle races, as
usual, made hit with the
crowd. Ia Tuesdays race Gene
Secord of Grand Forks took
first money, A. S. Thorsen Sec
and Floyd Blades t h i r d.
On Wednesday Thorses1 turned
the tables or Secord, defeating
the Grand Forks rider by only
a few yards in a five mile race.
Floyd Blades also took third
money in this race.
The free attractions furnish
ed by the Mckinney Hunter
Racing Combinations were of
strictly high order and
pleased the crowds.
There were more than the
usual number of concessions.
but all. as far as we have
ascertaired were of strictly
moral and decent nature. A
place of a questionable nature
was closed up by the manage
ment the fret day and ordered
to move on.

DIVIDEND MAY BE
 DECLARED SOON
Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany May Resume Payment
 of Dividends

The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany may cut a $5OO0OO dividend melon next week.
 Dividends on the $l00OO,00O issued in common stock may be resumed after more than three years of suspension, when the directors of the company meet in New York next week. This would be in pursuance to the statement of Col. J.. c. Maben, president of the Sloss company.
 Colonel Maben stated that as soon as the floating debt of $6O0,000 was cleared, dividends would be resumed. He added that the Sloss company had sold enough pig iron to offset this debt and that it would be wiped away as soon as the rail- roads delivered the tonnage in the Br- mingham yards. These stores have been reduced to 80,000 tons and have been cut materially since Colonel Maben was 1n Birmingham.
 In view of these facts it is believed that the directors, when they meet next Thurs day in New York, will order per cent or per cent dividend on the common stock.
