Big Time At Rapid
City All Next Week

Monday morning, September
18th, at Rapid City, will see the
opening of the greatest aericul-
tural, mineral and domestic SCI.
ence exhibit that was ever given
west OF the Missouri river. Ii
Will correspond TO the State Fair
east OF the river and will fulfill
the same purpose in giving the
people west of the Missouri a
common ground to gather in and
display their produce. Rapid
City'S First Annual Alfalfa Palace
Fair and Exposition will open on
that date.
The mammoth building has
been erected, the electricians
have completed wiring it both
outside and in and the decorators
have completed their labors. BY
Saturday night of this week every
available foot of space inside to
be filled with exhibits and will be
so arranged as to give the best
possible display of the articles
shown therein.
The building will seat about
1000 people, in addition to caring
for all the exhibits. Practically
every county in the West of the
River Empire has engaged space
and will have display. Alfalfa
exhibits from the communities
which make speciality of raising
this great forage crop will be
shown. The state game depart.
ment will have an exhibit of fish
and game. The state library de.
partment has also reserved space
for an exhibit. Considerable at
tentlon will be paid to the art ex-
hlbit and many fine paintings and
other similar work has been en-
tered in the competition.
Governor Peter Norbeck will
be there Monday to open the first
Alfalfa Palace ever built in the
world and properly dedicated the
newest enterprise in South Oak
Ota. Monday will be one of the
biggest days, if not the biggest
OF the week. The carnival spirit
will prevail on that day and night
more than at any time during the
week. A midnight pageant, at
which time the Alfalfa Queen
will be crowned, will end the
days festivities. This will com
menCe at the midnight hour and
will be accompanied by display
OF fireworks, the like of which
has never been seen west of the
river.

ALI Previous Efforts ExCeIled in Displays
and Arrangement al Free Fair
Which Draws Great Crowds

The entrance of exhibits in all de
partments which rank easily superior
to any previous displays which have
ever been put on in Grady county bids
fair to make the 1917 county fair the
biggest snocess IN that line known "A
Chickasha. Although the various di
visions were not completed yesterday
and farm products are still arriving
for exhibition, practically all buildings
viii soon have their contents ready
for the judges inspection. Horses and
hogs in the live stock section are prob
ably the most interesting features.
Over thirty head Of horses, mares,
jacks and colts were entered yester-
day afternoon and Geo. Hurley, head
OF department A. expects even great
er competition in this respect.
Boys clubs of tho county have done
much toward making the hog display

Mysterious Hush Boats"
are Beating Submarines

val bases are extremely reticent about
the hush-boats. For weeks the news
papers have been limiting about some
thing they know but have crossed their
hearts not to tell-something about the
new and mysterious searowdies which
despise naval footwork but prefer to
rush in headlong and scrap it out with
the U-boat till one or the other goes
down.
The mystery ship ranks with the
tank as a feat Of invention and con
struction according to the jealous
guardians of the secret.
King George inspected two new
types Of vessels during his June visit
to the grand fleet. They were in a
class of their own and the class was
never mentioned to the public.
Sea monsters mystery-ships, hush
boats-they account for some Of the
