over the Milwaukee and N. P. rail-
roads to Chicago on September 13.

cars an average price of 1875;
some few stays and small animals
brought $500

These steers were bought two

tempt to have steers issued to In.

also made big money by making
one big shipment to market instead
OF disposing OF their cattle to local
buyers

in cases where there are at least
one dissenting vote.
The order OF liability in which
the men put in Class One will be
drawn will not be known until af-
ter the drawing in Washington, but
this will in no way interfere with
the classification.
Only men placed in Glass One
will be called for physical examina-
and registrants so classified should
hold themselves in readiness to ap-
pear for examination promptly
when called.
The work of getting enough men
in Class One for the October call is
being rushed with all possible speed
and every man between the ages
above should lose no time in getting
his QUESTIONABLE filled and return
ed to the Local Board, so there may
be no delay. Sioux county wants
to be among one of the first in the
state to report its Class One men.
Out Of the first four Question
naires returned to the Local Board
only one man asks for deferred
classification. The other three
all farmers over 81 years of age
have waived their claim and will go
in Class One.
Anyone between 19 and 36 years
old who has not received his Ques-
tionaire should + notify the Local
Board Immediately.

Standing Rock Indian
Fair Closed Saturday
Seventh Annual Standing Rock Indian
Fair Held Last Week Very Sue.
csssful IN Many Ways

The Seventh Annual Standing
Rock Indian Fair for, North and
South Dakota held at Fort Yates
Thursday, Friday and Saturday,
last week, was in many respects one
of the most successful held in the
history Of the reservation.
While the attendance was not as
large as in former years, and the
attractions fewer, yet the program
OF amusement was pleasing both to
Indians and visitors and some new
and novel features were introduced.
Another feature worthy Of men
ton and for which the association
officers are e,ltitled to much credit
lin view Of prevailing wartime
economy was the entire absence
Of cheap shows, fake games Of skill
and chance, as we'll as grafters with
their. phony iewelry, etc.
Races, games and the merry-go-
round furhAhed amusement and
entertainment for the crowd DUR
ing the day while a moving pic
ture show and dancing were on the
program in the evening.
A ceremony in honor Of the
young Indians with the colors in
the cantonement camps and the ar
my abroad was also carried out,
land was one Of the most inspiring
and touching patriotic observances
ever held in the state. It was a
quaint Sioux ceremony that the
old time Indians performed in hon.
Or Of their warriors, and one which
but few whites Mve been permitted
ito witDess.,
The agricultural exhibits this
year were the best ever shown, and
1t Is pleasing to note that the Fair
takes on more pronounced agricul-
tural aspect each year. The live
stock shown also indicates that q
better type Of horses and cattle are
coming on the reservation.
As usual the vegetable exhibits
were many and varied. The schools
also had fine exhibits showing pen
manship, drawing and domestic
sewing. The exhibits Of Indian
handicraft were not as many as
formerly and shows that the maxi
ing Of bead and quill work. is pas.
sing with the older generation.
The association awarded 1897 .25
In prizes and premiums for exhibits
and after paying of all bills will
have surplus Of about 5000 left in
the treasury.
