Notice To The Public

There seems to be some mis-
understanding as to the meaning
of the exhibitors tickets as men,
toned in our premium lists. For
the information Of the public we
wish to make it distinctly under
stood that exhibitors tickets do
not apply in any way to the ex-
hibits in the ladies department.
In all other departments exhibit
tors are to take out a regular ex-
'hibitors ticket, which in other
words amounts to the same thing
as a season ticket. AS practical
ly all exhibitors will of necessity
attend the fair on at least two
days and probably all three this
results in a comparatively small
admission fee.
AS the success of the fair de-
pends very largely upon the
number and character ofexhibits
entered we earnestly urge the
people of Grant County to assist
in making it a success by enter
ing exhibits freely. The more
the better.
Sincerely yours,
Calistus Pew, President.
= E. J. Hublou, Secretary.

School Notes

The photographs of the varl-
Gus grades and classes of the
school have arrived and are the
source of considerable interest
and some amusement. The pic
lures are very clear and, for the
most part, better than the aver
age Of such work.
There has been a request to
the effect that the school child
rem be given a half holiday in
which to attend the fair to be
held in Milhank soon. This de-
mand upon our time is perfectly
legitimate in as much as the fair
is community enterprise and
worthy Of our support. Unless
bad weather interferes the
school children and tachers will
be given an opportunity to take
in the sights at the fair on the
afternoon of Tuesday, Sept. 25.
Parents are asked not to excuse
children on other days Of the
fair. as we want the routine
work Of the school interrupted
as little as possible. Whenever
the public interest seems to de-
mand and to warrant it, school
children and teachers will be
given opportunity to see and to
take part in community enter
prises. At all other times school
folks are expected to be in their
places ait school. Parents are
therefore urged to refrain from
excusing their children from
school for any light or trivial
reason. Illness of the child and
misfortune in the family are real
ly the only valid school excuse
for absence. In the case of
tardiness, it is difficult to find
any excuse at all for the reason
that punchuality is SO largely
matter of habit.
The lawn balls for the grade
children have arrived and will
add quite little to the play
ground activities. Every child in
the grades should play in the op-
en- air at recess. When winter
sets u, Miss King will at stated
periods open the gymnasium to
tho grade childran
Tuesday afternoon at four
o'clock is the hour set for the
Junior Glee Club rehearsal. This
is an organization Of seventh and
eighth grade boys and girls. We
shall look forward with pleasure
to their work of the year.

Odessa Barber Nabbed.

Ortonville Journal: Paul Kelley,

Tuesday Of this week as an alien
enemy Of the United States. Kel-
ley been in Odessa for more than

agent Of the United States hap

tere into q conversation with Kel-
ley. One subject led to another.
and Of course the present Europe
an conflict was brought up. Evil

Farmers Do Not Like It-Think II a
Dam Scheme.

A petition asking for the setting
apart of a drainage district to in
clude Big Stone, Melrose, and
parts of Alban, Melrose and Kill
born townships in this county and
certain parts of Roberts county,
came before Judge Bouck in cham.
bers last Tuesday afternoon. A
large number Of farmers in the
townships named opposed the in
Guiding of their townships in the
district, and their attorney, Geo.
S. Rix, presented their objection
to the court, and all Of the terri
tory excepting that Of Big Stone
township, which was not represent
ed in the objection, was granted
relief by the court and was taken
from the proposed drainage dis
trict. Attorney D. L. Leary Of
Browns Valley, F. L. Cliff Of Or
tonville, and F. L. Fuller Of this
city represented the petitioners.
We understand the purpose Of
parties who are pushing the drain
age enterprise, and who have Sc
cured joint action of authority
from the legislatures of the three
states of Minnesota, North and
South Dakota, is to prevent over
flow in the Minnesota valley and in
the Little Minnesota country at the
head of Big Stone lake. A portion
of the plan being to dam the Whet-
stone at Big Stone and possibly
further up the creek with the pur-
pose of securing a waterpower.
The Minnesota river project has
been ..moresor less talked about for
many years, and a preliminary sur
vey was made by government en-
gineers some years ago, but the re-
port was not Of very favorable
character, and the enterprise was
of such magnitude it seemed that
only the federal government could
undertake it. The farmers who
opposed the plan to include their
property in the drainage district,
very naturally feel that while they
could not possibly receive any di-
rect benefit from the scheme, even
if it was successfully carried out,
their lands would be subject to the
special tax necessary to finance the
| matter, and when the character OF
the enterprise is taken into consid-
! Grafton there is no telling where
this would be carried to, particu.
larly the probability Of having tc
pay for lands Aooded and damaged
by the proposed dams.

about half finished at present, so
we are in temporary barracks, near
ly all Of South Dakota boys togeth-
er. We were put in Co. A of the

divided later into companies A, B,
G, ID in our permanent barracks.
There are about nine hundred build
ings here at the present time.
with water works, electric lights,
and everything real modern, with
good shower baths and toilets. We
are under fine officers and instruc-
tors and the camp is surely situated
in nice place, down between hills
and near the Republic river. Gen.
Wood has nice little bungalo back
on the north hills over looking the
camp He is a good looking gen.
tleman. Every one Of the officers
speak we'll Of him and | believe
they do like him. Mess isn't bad
at all and we have good eats.
All suits and clothes are furn sh.
ed, altho we have not got our suits
yet, just overalls and jacket. Will
have suits soon too. We have hats
and shoes.
They keep telling us to drill
hard. and they are drilling US hard
for to get corporals or sergeants to
help train the others as early as
possible. There sure is a lot to
learn. but | believe South Dakota
has the finest looking men so far and
are all learning fast. We go On
hikes from six miles a day 81 far.
but they keep getting longer. 1t
would be hard to write everything,
and Of course you know lot about
training camp, alto they say every
thing is changed from former years
and orders are changed now about
once a week. Hours are 5:45 a.
m. to 9:45 p. m. We have from
p. m. to 9:45 to ourselves to
run about camp. 1t will surely be
fine to see US all drill later in
uniform. l can hardly wait for
them. Our trip was fine tho tire
some. Yours respectfully,
