IF Minnesota is asked to raise its
regiments to full war strength it
means big task in store for u.s." Ad-
jutant General Fred B. Wood says.
81 have not received any intimation
thus far that we will be asked to re-
cruit to war strength. Minnesota's
three regiments will need about 1000
men to be recruited to full war
strength. The infantry regiments
now number about 1,150. War
strength means increasing this number
to more than 1900. Artillery will not
cause any great worry"

Salaries of members of the Univer.

the attorney general decides the board
of regents has the power to do so.
This announcement was made by the
regents, nine of whom visited six sub
stations of the department of agricul-
ture. In connection with the trip a
business meeting was held. A Fed

SKACIT and LOCAL
FAIR DATESCONFLICT

A conflict in dates between The
1916 Whatcom County and Skagil
county fairs is now troubling The
local directors. Both fairs have
been scheduled for the week be-
ginning Oct. ..
The Whatcom County Fair dates
were selected after The directors
the Burlington exhibition wouid
include the last week in September
as last year. A new board of di-
rectors was named for the Skagii
County Fair, however, and The
dates were shifted TO those wtich
Whatcom County has had for sew
eral years past.
Because of the concessionaires
who travel from one fair TO the 9th
er and from whom considerable
revenue is derived, 1t is desrea bic
that the fair da.es be kept spar
ate.
The matter is now being .aken
M with the SkaGit board, and the
dates of one of the fairs will De
changed.
That the Skagit people are aux
iors for change is evident from
the following comment in the Bur
lii gton Journal:
The dates of the Lynden and the
Skagit County fairs have both Deep
set for the week beginning Octobe'
2 This is unfortunate. as large
crowds from either county desire TO
attend both fairs. Last year hund-
reds from Whatcom county attend
ed the Skagit county fair, and b
week later when the Lynden far
was held big crowds from this
county attended the fair there.
A conference of The officials ot
the fairs will be held at Lynden TO
see If the dates cannot be changed,
SO that they will not conflict.
There is strong friendship snd
Interest existing among the citizens
of either county, and every oppor-
tunity to subserve these relations
should be taken advantage of. So
change the dates if possible.
