DRY SPRING Is
FAVORABLE TO
VALLEY LANDS
Thousands of Acres In Up
per Reaches Sown to
Crop
MEANS GREATER
VALLEY ACREAGE
Flood Control Committee
Will Conduct Hearings
Soon

Thousands Of acres Of fertile land in
the upper reaches Of the famed Red
river valley, idle during the past two
or three years, will be seeded to crops
this year as a result Of the dry spring
season.
Throughout RichIand, Sargent, Ran
som, Trail and Cass counties in North
Dakota; in Clay and Wilkin county,
in Minnesota, and in Roberts county in
South Dakota, some Of the finest pro-
ducing land in the entire northwest
has not been under cultivation during
1915 and 1915 because of moisture.
Now, however, that land is being re-
claimed. and blowing operations still
are under way in much of the region,
the farmers seeding barley, corn and
potatoes.
AS a result of the fact that so much
land has been reclaimed to production
this year, the Red river valley may be
depended upon to come forward with
its share Of produce for the worlds
larder, provided weather conditions
from now on remain favorable.
Heavy losses were sustained by the
farmers of the district during the past
two years. but they were in good finan-
cial condition and ready to resume
their cultivation of the land this year
when the opportunity afforded.
Plans for the permanent reclamation
Of the lands in'question are being
worked out by the states of South Da-
kota, Minnesota and North Dakota
The work is being prosecuted unler
what is known as the tri-state flood
control program.
The North Dakota committee hand
~
ready actively engaged in the field. 1t
will conduct a series of hearings
throughout the valley within a few
weeks, and will, at that time, obtain
evidence that will make it possible
for the commission to determine just
how serious is the need for permanent
works Of flood control.

WAR Will NOT
HALT FARGO'S
Big EXPOSITION
Best Interests of State To
Stage Fair, Says
McRoberts
BUILDINGS NOW
BEING REPAIRED
To Make Grounds One Great
Educational
Center

Some question has been raised as to
whether or not the Interstate fair for
Fargo would be put on this year on
account of the war conditions.
Secretary McRoberts. however, states
that the fair management has given
this matter a great deal of thought
and has studied the situation from
every angle as we'll as corresponding
with other fair associations, covering
these points and has also considered
the published remarks of President
Wilson referring to activities OF this
nature, and has decided that 1t Is to
the best interests of the state to put
on a show this year.
1t Is the opinion OF all concerned
that the war is an added reason why
the exposition should be put on IL
possible, bigger and better than ever.
An Education Center.
A great many people consider the
fair as an amusement enterprise prim-
arily, but 1t is not. The fair itself is
an educational exhibit intended to
bring before the public a showing Of
the best herds of purebred stock, the
highest type Of horses, the finest ex-
hibit of poultry and the newest and
most up-to-date machinery mRnufac-
tured.
The amusement provided Is simply
to add to the enjoyment of those who
have visited the fair for the purpose OF
improving their knowledge and who
desire amusement and relaxation after
the round of the exhibits has been
made. The management has planned
various new features which will have
a direct bearing on the war and which
1t is hoped will materially aid the gov
eminent in the way of increased pro-
duction of livestock and grains.
Work Out New Ideas.
The breeders and machinery exhibits,
the agricultural exhibits and the Fine
Arts exhibits all bring out and empha-
size to the farmer new ideas which in
his return home he applies in his home
work, thus enhancing the output in
every line Of agricultural endeavor in
increased value in food growth and
food conservation. Assurances have
been received from the railroads that
or amusement will be handled with
dispatch unless some unforeseen ma
tional need would make 1t impossible.
Getting Buildings in Shape.
The grounds and buildings are rapid
ly being prepared for the big show,
July 1928, and all of the big educa-
tional and amusement features will be
on hand to provide instruction and
pleasure for the big crowds which will
attend.
Breeders Of all kinds of livestock are
urged not to let the scarcity Of feed
prevent their feeding their stock for
show at the big Interstate fair as the
prospects for an immense crop at a.
high price will mean the best market
the breeders have ever had at any
former fair.

Two hats that do not commit them
selves to any particular season or
cline, and one that announces it's de-
vOtiOn to winter, are shown in the
group of new millinery pictured here.
It would seem like beginning the win
ter all over again to invest in winter
millinery at this late date. So, if Oc-
casiOn demands something new in the
way of headWear, the ever-ready lady
betakes herself to some smart mil
linery establishment. There she views
the new things made in anticipation of
the spring for those who journey
south to meet it.
hats of silk, hats of combinations of
three fabrics with straw braids, and
hats of many other things. They are
not the hats of summertime, but will
not find themselves out of place under
sunny skies. Neither are they winter
hats, yet they are not too airy and
fragile to face snow f1urries. They are
hats of the demi-season, and you may
wear a fur scarf or no scarf at all with
them.
At the left a hat of natter blue
faille silk is shown, embellished with
black silk soutache braid and lovely
little handmade roses of silk. They
are in a soft rose color and are set
fiat against the hat. A lot of fine
handwork makes this an expensive bit
of luxurious headwear, but it's excuse
for extravaganza is it's loneliness.
At the center of the group is a hat of
black satin, simple narrow-brimmed
shape. Its claim to originality rests
upon the deep flounce of black lace
that falls from the top Of the crown. 1t
falls over collar of silver ribbon, and
terminates at each side of the front.
The collar is finished with the sim

For the Little One.

Encourage the child to wait on itself
and you will be saved much work and
will be giving the child an education
which it will never be able to value
until it has reached years of discre-
ton. There are so many little helps
that can be offered to make work at
tractive to children. For instance, a
successful way to teach child to put
it's soiled clothes out of sight is to
make for it's own use little laundry
bag of some cheerful color and on it
embroider the word Laundry" Hang
it on q peg low enough for the child
to reach and you will not have to re-
mind the child more than two or three
times Of it's duty.
If you cannot afford to have nursery
furniture for the child's room, you
should at least let the child share a
bureau or dressing table with someone
so that it can be taught quite young to
put hair ribbons, handkerchiefs, ETC.,
in certain place. Let it understand
that the space reserved is all Its very
own.

perched at the front Of the crown.
The owner of such a hat will bless the
milliner who created it, for it can be
worn almost anywhere.
A small, quiet little turban is draped
with soft satin and finished at the edge
with a band of fur. One little ostrich
plume has the temerity to curl and
nod squarely ut the front. This little
hat is meant for wintry weather, and
is modest in design and price, so that
it is not much of an extravaganza even
though it be the last of several prede-
cessOrs in the present season.
