80 Years Old But
Makes Forty-Eighth 200
Mile Walk In England

London, July 24.-E. N Radford,
although more than so, years old. has
just completed for the 48th time. his
annual walk from Bristol to London,
with the object, he says, 81 teaching
the people Of England common sense
in regard to meat and drink" At the
conclusion Of the long walk, every
year, he delivers a lecture in Hyde
Park, finding for his text a passage
from the first chapter of Daniel:
Let them give us pulse to eat and
water to drink. And their countenance
,waxed fairer and fatter in flesh than
all the children which did eat the
portion of the Kings meat. And in
all matters of wisdom and understand
ing that the King inquired Of them,
he found them ten times better than
all the magtcians and astroloGers that
were in all his realm" Is
Mr.. Radford is a veteran Of the
Crimean war, and in his speech he al
ways recalls the march Of his old regi-
ment from Portsmouth to London to
attend the funeral Of the Iron Duke in
1852. y
81 was then, as I am now, a teeto-
taller and ~non-smoker," he says.
'~"Therefore.I am able to walk and talk,
and tell people how to be happy with
out drinks and medicine. My annual
walk Of 200 miles is just a pleasure
5aunt. After it is over. I always take
another walk up into Wiltshire and
spend the next four months working
on a farm"

Rice Must Not Be

Honolulu, July e.-(By Mai1)-
Rice imported from Japan must not

Japan is short Of rice but is willing
to accept the shortage to supply it for

work a hardship on the Caucasian

FIRST DAY OF A
FORKS FAIR


The opening Of the Grand, Forks
Fair yesterday took place under ia
vorable circumstances even though
the crowds of the first day were no
quite as large as had been expected.
The opening found every entry and
exhibit in place yesterday morning,
and for this reason IT. was possible to
begin tbe.judging early in the day.
AS for the sports and amusement
features Of the Fair, they were said to
be. in nearly all instances. far better
even than usual. A conspicuous fea-
tnre Of the program was the thrilling
HankinsonNa auto polo which will be re-
peated at 8:15 tonight. The g. A.
Workman Midway shows sustained!
their reputation. as capital entertain
ers, and the various grand stand Of
ferings were all that could be desired.
The race program undoubtedly is
the best offered here, in years. The
800 pace and the $3.50 trot yesterday
were keenly contested. The 1922 pace
and the 2:14 pace r scheduled, for
this afternoon. There is a field of
four starters in the former and one Of
nine in the latter.
1.-Two Stock Show Interesting
Despite the fact that the entries are
lot so large as last year, the live stock
show Is N of the finest ever seen in
the state. So far as quality is cons
cerned, it surpasses any other show
ton of, several large herds at the last
hour made the show bigger than was
anticipated. The sheep and hog ex-
hibits are much better than formerly,
while the horse show Is unusually
good. The poultry show is up to the
usual high standard.

just at present, it is the great thing in
farming. The automobile show is
larger than it ever has been, prac-
tically every dealer in the city having
an exhibit. There are, several out-of-
town exhibitors present.
Red Cross is Active.
The Liberal Arts building was
thronged throughout the afternoon
and early evening. The Red Cross ex-

In the first period OF the game,
neither team scored. This Is by no
mean because the teams did not play
we'll enough, but because Of the ex-
cellent guarding done by each team.
The seemingly impossible. twists and
by the drivers. kept the audience ION
their toes". all through the game.
Thrice during this period cars were
turned over, without injury to the
occupants, and two new cars had to
b1 substituted. The second period
was even more thrilling than the first.
In this the English won the first score
of the game, when they passed a neat
one through the lines. swfrving and
polo ball, which was broken several
times, until. the judge called time,
leaving the English team with "a one
point advantage. Speed was the call
at the third and last period. Many
times the cars crashed through the
slender rail, at the center of the field,
or rammed the base of the vaudeville
platform, until tn end Of the game 1t
was unacceptable. At one time the

was hurt. Again one Of the cars tip
ped over so suddenly that both Of the
occupants were thrown from it,
sprawling all over each other. In a
second, however, the game raj or
and in full force again.
During all the excitement the
American team nudged the ball close
to the English lines. and by hitting
the goal pole, scored, tieing the Eng
lish team. After getting the two
cars mixed so that one had to be tip
ped over to get them apart, the game
was again on. and in the last few
minutes of play the Americans scor-
ed again on a long hit. >
The daring driving, the close es-
capes and thrills, all tended to hold
the audience as no other game could
possibly have done.
Acts Coming from Everywhere.
In order to get all the attractions
for the Grand Forks fair here that
were booked, long jumps had to be
made by all Of the vaudeville acts
now appearing in front of the grand
stand. Ardell, the high pole man
came directly from Lakeside Park
Waterbury, Conn, where his exhibi-
ton WAS enthusiastically received
"Daly's Tangled Army" came direct
from New York city, where they
played on the Keith circuit. The Nc
Phersons arrived from Mason City
Iowa. The Three Latonia Sisters
came from Topeka, Kansas, and after
their engagement here. will jump tc
Bedford Iowa.. The Six Moors came
in from Winnipeg. Every one of the
acts have appeared on time, for. the
opening day in spite Of railroad con
gestion and these long jumps. W

Grand Stand Program.
The management has brought a
high class and varied vaudeville pro-
gram to the Grand Forks Fair in coz
nection with the grand stand enter
,tainment each afternoon and evening.
The feature act is Hankinson's auto
polo team, and though 1t has been
seen here before, 1t. has lost mono OF
its popularity. They specialize in
wrecks and smash-ups. =
However, when n machine goes
of. on three wheels. Or breaks down
completely, they have another one
ready and the game goes merrily on.
There is a British and an American
team, and they play a regular thirty
minute contest.
Acts Best O~btainable.
The vaudeville is Of d high stand
ard. coming from the best circuitsfin
the country. Ardell does q high pole
act that is a thriller. = Climbing hand
v hand up a ninety-foot pole, he
balances himself on a bar at the top,
which the hickory staff, but two
inches thick at the top, sways in the
wind. After many "p%recarious stunts"
he hangs by n o o and waves an
American flag.
The three Latonia sisters have a
balancing act that has been playing
big time all eason They use two
large balls, and while standing on
them, they juggle and pose in a way
that would do Justice to performers
who had a 1rmer footing. One Of
the young ladies climbs an incline
while standing on the ball. This is
lone Of the best staged, acts seen here
for some time.
Days Tangled Army is an acrobatic
burlesque. with much comedy and
ground tumbling. They have a
house which Is all doors and win
dows, and dive in and out OF them in
an unexpected and ludicrous way.
Later they double IN an act called
the five bounding P%ierrots." Here
they have a spring net, ON which they
tumble. The burlesque on a prize
fight is a scream. y
Novel Scotch Number. :
The McPhersons consists of six
comely young, women who dance
highland filings, sailors hornpipes, and
Spanish. They have several changes
Of custume, and vary their revue with
bagpipe music. The Spanish dance
was particularly graceful, and, like all
the other acts. pleased the stands
greatly.
The final number of the vaudeville
proper was the Six Wild Acrobatic
Moors. They specialize in pyramid
ing, rapid are-tumbling, and balanc-
ing. Only years of practice and a ma
tural adaptability would allow Of the
speed attained in their work. Their
bright costumes. blend into one color
as they turn airsprings down the
stage.
Nothing Like Auto Polo.
For excitement, those who attended
the fair yesterday will have to &C.
knowledge that there is nothing like
auto polo. Hankinson's English and
American polo teams appeared at the
fair last night and in a h%ard-fought
game the Americans won by a score
Of 2 to /. After the game the spec.
tators pronounced the rival teams
much better than those who played
here before.
John johnson, driver for the Eng
fish team, and Eddie Buchanan, his
mallet man., pulled some h~air-raisine
stunts and CAV the Americans, Cap
tain Paul Henderson, and his mallet
man, Ivan Hill, a close fight up ia
the last drop Of the flag.

Miss Durack to Swim
At Brighton Beach

New York June 29-The recon
structed Winter Pool at Brighton
Beach will begin it's swimming season
July 4.
Simultaneous with the announce
ment that the pool will be reopened
comes the news that among the first
of notable galaxy of swimming
stars to appear at Brighton Beach
this summer will be Miss Fannie
Durack, the Australian worlds cham
pion and Olympic swimmer who holds
every woman's swimming record
from 100 metres up.
Miss Durack is now il San Francis
co, where she had been entangled in
a disagreement with Pacific Coast
promoter who sought to secure her
services, along with those of her sis
ter and Miss Nina Wylie, breast stroke
champion of Australia, in a tour of
the United States. Frederick w.
Ruben, secretary of the Amateur
Athletic Union, at present has the
data relating to this ENHANCEMENT
under advisement and the indications
are that Miss Durack will come to
New York to get into Immediate
touch with the, A. A. U. and adjust
the present difficulties.
| In this event she has promised to
make her first appearance at Brigh-
ton Beach, which during the past
| two years has been the training
| ground of some of the more notable
| Of woman metropolitan champions
among them Charlotte Boyle of Sea
Gate, who recently won the nationa
| 100 yard title.

Frank Shea to
Join Aviation Corps

New York, June 29.---When Frank
Shea, the wonder runner Of the Uni
versity Of Pittsburgh, laid aside his
spiked shoes to don the uniform of
Uncle Sam, the track and field world
loaned one of its greatest stars to the
bigger and more glorious game. No
glory that the mighty Panther could
possibly win on the cinder path could
equal that which became his when he
signed his enlistment papers.
Shea is in the Aviation Corps, a
branch that has attracted many of
the other stars of the track and field,
including Shea's greatest rival, the
great Ted Meredith. The Pittsburgh
star is especially fitted for this branch
of service. He is a telegrapher, and
will be available for scout duty, and
directing artillery fire.
Those who know Shea best are sure
that he will win fame as a fighting
flyer too. None who saw him race
can doubt the superlative courage Of
the Pittsburgh boy. No odds were
ever too great for him. No race was
ever over until the tape was broken.
Shea is just another example of how
readily the American sportsmen re-
spond to the call to arms.

Football Safe In
Western Conference

Efforts by President Bryan of IN
diana to induce the Western Confer
ence to cancel the football schedule
for next autumn, and to call a halt
in that sport until after the war, are
doomed to failure. None of the heads
of other universities in the confer
ence are supporting the Indiana pres
ident. President Burton of Minnesota
replied to DR.. Bryan's letter as fol-
lows:
Minnesota has made it's plans to
go forward with football next fall and
I see no reason for giving up the
game at this time. I believe athletics
should be kept on as even a keel as
possible during the war. We should
profit from the experiences of Eng
land and France, both of which are
encouraging sports.
Football didn't draw as well last
season as in other years, but this was
due to the fact our schedule was not
as attractive as it might have been,
with only one big game. Our schedule
for next autumn, and to call halt
Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, one
Of the heaviest cards in years, should
result in greater and larger receipts.
Athletics at Minnesota showed a def
cit last year, but in 1918 and 1919 we
expect to show a profit, which will be
turned over to the Red Cross"
