MANY IMPROVEMENTS FOR
THE COUNTY FAIR OF 1917
Will Erect New Building On Fair
Grounds and Add New Glasses
in Cattle and Horses

A meeting was held on Friday af.
ternoon last week at the Office of the
secretary, of the officers and directors
of the Cavalier County Fair Associa-
tion at which quite number of de.
tails were disposed Of relative to the
three days county fair which will be
held here in Langdon on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, July 25th, 26th
and 9th.
Those who were here to attend the
meeting included all Of the members
of the associations board of directors
as we'll as the officers and comprised
the following: Messrs. A. Sillers, Of
Calvin; ~Ullyott, of Hannah; Louis
Schneider, of Mt. Carmel; S. G.
Erickson, of Elkwood; John Baldson,
of Osnabrock; John Reid, of Olga and
Messrs. Meiklejohn, Stewart, and Nc
Donald, of Langdon; also Treasurer
D. MCLAUGHLIN and Secretary B. E.
Groom.
A visit to the fair grounds was in.
cluded in the routine program of the
meeting and resulted in the decision
being reached to add to the property
on the fair grounds with the erection
of one new building which will be
built south of the woman's building
and used for the arts and educational
exhibit, which up to the present time
has been displayed in the woman's
building, resulting in all of the ex
hibits being crowded for space. The
new building will be 28x6O in size
and in style and general plan similar
to the building in which the combined
exhibit of the departments of art and
education have heretofore been dis .
played.
The visit to the grounds also result.
ed in the finding of great need for
more room for the horse exhibit and
that the box stalls along the western
side of the grounds on the fence
have for some years past outlived
their usefulness being both unfit and
dangerous for occupancy by horses and
live stock exhibited at the fair. This,
however, will have to be an improve.
ment to have first consideration next
year, the matter being laid over until
that time.
Next the premium list was given
consideration and in the horse depart
ment special class has been added
with the same arrangements as to
prizes. ETC., as applies to pure breds.
The new class is for high grade draft
horses. open to breeders of Percher.
ons. Belgians and Clydes. The con-
dition is that the sire must be reg.
istered horse, the dam also to be sired
by registered horse of the same
breed. In this case the pedigree Of
: the entry In the new class is required
to have what 10 known by breeders -
two top crosses Of the same breed.

Develop the Community Spirit

Develop the community spirit.
That spirit which builds and i'm

Look around you for the many
needed improvements in your neigh

You and your nelghbor-your

improve the section in which you

community spirit.
This community spirit is conta-

soon will develop into the Abilene

TO FIX OLD TRAILS ROAD
Petitions Signed for Construction OF
Concrete Road in Dickinson

Petitions for the hard surfacins
of the Old Santa Fe Trail in Dick
irson county have been signed by a
majority of the property owners
around Herington and the four and
4 half miles in this county will be
built. Petitions for twelve miles OF
concrete road just over the line in
Norris county have been signed and
this will also be built 1T looks like
200 miles of concrete road for CEN
trail Kansas said County Engineer
Karl Riddle this afternoon.
The cost of the road is divided
between the property owner the
township, and the county, the own
er paying twenty-five PEI cent. the
township twenty-five and the county
fifty per cent. Federal aid, which
is to be received after a certain
amount has been spent by the eoun-
ty. is expected to cut down the cost
about twenty-five per cent.
Under the old system when the
district paid all the expense a
gravel road cost as much as a con-
crete or asphalt road will cost land
owners under the new law, when
the government, county and town
ships help pay the bill. The approx
innate cost to the property owners
now will be about $500 mile for
a concrete road, which would only
ray for a gravel road heretofore
and most farmers are eager for the
benefit.
The Kansas Good Roads associa-
ton is behind the move for better
roads and will start campaign to
raise $4,000 a year for five years
ITO be used in this capacity.
There are at least fifty counties
in Kansas where the sentiment is
strong for improved roads. Under
the new improved road law just
enacted each of these counties
should petition for at least ten to
thirty miles each or vote bonds for
a complete county system before the
end of the first year. After the first
ten miles is built in any county the
demand for more of the same kind
will become general. To promote
these improved roads the Good
Roads association will conduct a
general publicity campaign through
the newspapers, hold public meet
ings, assist in organizing benefit
districts under the new road law,
Nelp carry county elections, assist in
preparing maps and petitions and in
every way aid in promoting and
building 365-day roads,

RATES ON FREIGHT
ON OCEAN LINES
TO Be REDUCED
Governments of Allied Nations
Negotiate to Meet De-
mandS Of Wilson.

WASHINGTON, July Rcgula-
tion OF ocean steamship ratcs between
the United States and allied nations
has been agreed upon in principle by
tho American and British Govern
ments
Negotiations are now proceeding be-
tween Chairman Dcnman OF the Ship
ping Board ana Counselor Polk Of the
state Department. designated by
President Wilson TO represent the
Government, and British Admiralty
officials, to devise n programme to
make the regulation effective and
bring down present prohhtivc rates.
President Wilson's deep interest in
the negotiations was reflected In his
appeal July II to the business inter
csts Of the country to give their aid
freely and unsclnshly toward win
ming the war. In his statement the
President said;
Let me turn for moment to the
ship owners OF the United states and
the other ocean carriers whose cx-
ample they have followed and ask
them II they realize what obstacles,
what almost insupcrahlc obstacles,
they have been putting in the way
OF successful prosecution Of the war
by the ocean freight rates they are
now eNacting.
They are doing everything that
high freight cndrS,s cav do to make
tho war n failure, to make IT impos-
sible, | do not say that they realize
this or intend It. The fact is that
those who have hXcd war freight
rates have taken the most effective
means in their power b. defcat the
armies engaged against Germany
when they realize this we may, take
It for granted, count upon them to
reconsider the whole matter. 1t is
high time. Their extra hazards ara
covered by war risk insurance"

HEAVIER BATTING
AND MORE RUNS,
HAUGHTON'S AIM
Braves President Advances SIX
Ideas to Strengthen Attack
in Baseball

Boston, Jan. 2.-Suggestions for re-
storing the balance in baseball, which
he contends has become lost through
the advantages enjoyed by the defen'
sive eide OF the game, were advanced
to-day by President Percy d. Haugh-
ton of the Boston National League
Club. Haughton brought up the sub
ject at the recent meeting Of the Ma
tional League. which voted to have a
rules committee meet with a similar
body from the American League 20
consider revision.
THE natural ingenuity Of the Amer
lean sportsman is forever destroying
the balance between defence and at
tack in games, said Haughton. I'm
baseball the defenders have had the
upper hand for years. It is harder 20
make runs now. Batting averages are
dropping, indicating there is something
radically wrong with the balance IN
baseball. What changes, not revolu-
tionary, will increase the probability
Of the base hit and the earned run?
"Here are six ideas ! have heard
advanced, each of which has merit:
Move first and third bases about
four or five feet nearer home plate,
not disturbing the position of second.
eliminate the spitball delivery.
"Let the batter walk on three balls.
Have only one foul strike.
"Have a much more drastic balk IN
depreciation.
Reduce the width Of the plate by a
few inches"

MACKAY, FORMER
PITCHING STAR,
WINS AT SQUASH

Donald Mackay, once star Eli
pitcher, advanced into the final round
by defeating j. Ford Johnson, after
two games, in the semi-fnal match Of
the handicap squash tennis tournament
at the Yale Club yesterday. Both men
played from scratch, and the rather
easy manner in which MackAy tri-
umphed over his higher rated rival was
a surprise.
The opening game was decided in
quick fashion, Mackay forcing the
issue and counting rapidly on g round
the-court attack and kills" TO the
front wall. Johnson frequently drove
out Of bounds, and before he corrected
this fault his opponent had earned a
big advantage, which enabled him 70
take the first game by score OF 10
TO 2.
The second game was a nip-snd-tuck
affair. Mackay was pressing his ad-
vantage, but Johnson was on his
mettle. Less than two points separated
the players at any time. The contest
went to set at lS-sll, but Mackay,
playing at the height Of his game, won
the next three aces, while Johnson vas
held scoreless. The final count vas
