1900 BIRDS ARE EXPECTED
Big Poultry Exhibit at 1915 South pa.
kota State Fair.

The poultry department of the South
Dakota State Fair is prepared to take
care of 1,500 birds at the 1916 exposi-
ton, according to Superintendent r.
H. Borrey OF Sioux Falls. Eighty new
steel wire coops have been added,
which with the coping system al
ready installed enables this depart
ment to give plenty of room for all
birds.
There were 1000 poultry entries at
last years fair and 500 birds on act
ual exhibition. The quality was above
the average generally seen at state
fairs.
The excellent premiums, totaling
$1,000, should be an incentive for poul-
try raisers in South Dakotes to make
heavy entries. Mr.. Borrey T~,ges, that
all entries should be sent In early and
that birds should be on The fair
grounds on or before Monday noon,
Sept. II, in. order that the Judging,
which starts Monday, may be com
pleted by Tuesday evening. The early
completion will permit exhibitors to
display their stock and confer with
prospective buyers during the best
days of the fair. Entries close Sept. 6

Twenty ENTRIES
FOR COUNTY PRIZE
Big Scrap for First Place at
1916 State Fair.

About twenty counties are expected
to send in entries for competitive eX-
hibits at the 1916 South Dakota State
Fair, practically all of the counties
competing last year having signified
a desire to re-enter.
Jerauld county, winner of first prize
last year i'll competition with sixteen
counties, is ineligible to compete for
prize money this season, according to
the ruling adopted a year ago hyS.he
board. Her enterp1ising citizens will
doubtless see to it that a display is
sent to the state fair as an advertis-
ing feature-and they can we'll afford
to do it.
The winners of the first six places
in the 1915 state fair were, in order:
Jerauld. Hand, Sully, Minnehaha, Per-
kins and Pennington counties.

One of the notable features of the
1916 South Dakota State Fair and Ex-
position is the large assortment of spe-
cial premiums and prizes in the vari-
GUS live stock departments. In the
horse department, in addition to more
than $4,000 in premiums, special
awards will be made by the Percheron
Society of America, and By the Shire
Horse Society of Great Britain.
In the cattle department, which is
again open to the world, besides regu-
lar premiums amounting to 1926,
specials are offered by the ten lead
ing cattle breeding associations COW
ering all classes. In the sheep de-
partment, Shropshire premiums are

Most of the institutions of higher

from all of them at this writing, it is
understood that the university, the

Agriculture and Mechanic Arts and
perhaps some OF the normal schools

The exhibits of these institutions
are becoming mere practical year by

AucTloNING OFF A WIFE.
Last Case Of a Once Rather Common
Custom. In Enqland.

Custom In England.
It was long n popular belief among
the ignorant in England that II a man
sold his wife u, public auction such
q sale had all the legality Of Il regu-
lar divorce. The latest case of the
kind on record occurred in 1882.
John Thompson, a farmer, had been
married for three years, and he and
his wife agreed to separate. Illomp-
son brought his wife into the town OF
Carlisle, and by the bellman announc.
ed he was about to sell her.
At midday Thompson placed his
wife on a large oak chair with a rope
or halter Of straw about ner neck. He
then made this announcement: Gen
my wife, Mary Anne Thompson, 9TH
erwise Williams, whom l mean to sell
to the highest and fairest bidder. 1t
Is her wish as well as mine to part
forever.
"She has been to me only a born
serpent. 1 took her for my comfort,
the good of my home. But she became
my tormentor, a domestic curse. a
night invasion and u daily devil.
II speak truth from my heart when
l say: May God deliver us from trou.

.ROUMANlA WILL SUPPLY WHEAT
 TO ENGLAND

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Afufil 13.- cOpponants of the BratianH government here hold the view that the contract for the sale of S0,000 carloads of wheat made between the Rumanian central commission and the British purchas- ing bureau in this city, will give rise to much trouble before the transac- tiOus covered by it will have been terminated.
 The quantity of wheat sold is S09, GOO tons. Rumania can store in rail- road sheds and harbor storages only BOG, ,00O tons, leaving of the British purchase alone 5OO,000 tons to be housed in some other manner. At present this wheat is still in the granaries and silos Of the producers, but the room taken by it will shortly be needed by the new crop of about 2.440 900 tons of wheat alone, not counting large quantities of legumes, barley. rye and oats.
 If the British were able to export the wheat bought, the storage prob lem would not exist, but there is at this time no opportunity of doing this. The Russian railroads offer the only route to export and these, owing to the military situation, are not avail able.
 The contract made by the British bureau calls for the removal of the wheat within six months of the mak- ing of peace. Bratianu's opponents argue that this means storing the

WILSON DECIDES TO REMAIN AT
 H|S POST

WASHINGTON, April 13. - Presi- dent Wilson announced today that he would have to cancel all his engage ments, including addresses and other matters until further notice. The pre- sident has abandonei his plans to go to New York tomorrow night He was booked to speak before the Young Mems Democratic Club in that city on Saturday. The approaching crisis with Germany over the submarine controversy, and the startling develop ments of today in the Mexican situa- tier necessitate his remaining in the White House, keeping his hand on the affairs of the nation. The next few days are fraught with possibilities of trouble for the country, and Wilson believes his place is at his post of duty.
