Jackson County Fair
A Great Success

The Twelfth Annual Jackson
County Fair was held in kadoka
on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday of last week, and will be
remembered by everyone attend
ing as one of the most successful
Fairs ever held in this county.
Better weather could not have
been asked for and the attend
ance each day was larger than
expected by the Fair manage
ment. Everyone of the nei9hbor-
ing towns sent large delegations
each day and the farmers of the
county and their families were
out in full force.
The programs were good and
appreciated bv all. The races
and minor sports were all closely
contested and exciting. The
special attractions were all that
had been claimed for them and
furnished something interesting
all the time. The Third South
Dakota Home Guard Band was
present and furnished music all
the time and many compliments
were expressed for them. The
Scotch Kilties Band was probably
one of the most appreciated nov
elites at the Fair tor several years.
This band is composed OF three
piperS and three drummerS, and
constitute a regular vaudeville
company. Their music as a band
was good and created much com
ment on account of the artistic
and novelty work of the bass
drummer, while the dancing by
the lady snare drumners was
exceptionally graceful and fine
exhibitions of toe dancing. An
other special by this company
was the Indian club swinging eX,
hibitlon which was exceptionally
good. Altogether the perform
ance by the kilties proved a de

The Fourth Liberty
Loan

The campaign for the Fourth
Liberty Loan begins September
28 and closes October l9. While
the amount has not yet been an
nOunced, It is generally conceded
it will be for a larger amount
than any of the proceeding loans.
The American people, therefore,
are called upon to raise a larger
sum of money in a shorter length
of time than ever before. There
is need, therefore, for prompt ac-
ton prompt and efficient work
and prompt and liberal SubsCrip-
tiGnS.
We have a great inspiration for
a great effort. The news from
the battle front inspires every
American heart, not only with
pride and patriotism but with a
great incentive to do his or her

A dispatch from Buenos Aires says
the minister of war has recalled Ar
gentina's military attaches from Ber-
lin and Vienna. In political circles
this action is regarded as significant
and connected with the sinking of the
Argentine steamer Ministro Irriendon,
January &c.
The. situation in Argentina is tense
and the authorities are maintaining
more than their usual silence ona the
situation, but several events at the
government house lead to the belief
that the government is at last prepar-
ing to take an important step.
Abandonment of the heatless Mon
day program was predicted at the
close of prolonged conference be-

Director General McAdoo. A final de-

every indication that both officials,

sought can be accomplished from now
on by continuance of preferential coal
transportation and distribution and by
railroad embargoes now in force.

Diary of Brazil, but this is the first
that the Brazilian feet
would cooperate in European waters
with the warships of the allies.
Senator Hughes of New Jersey died
after a long illness. Word of his
death was received at the white house.
He was born in Ireland April 3, 1872,
and had a meteoric rise to political

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee in the Spanish
American war. He was an avowed
sympathizer with labor, and the Pat

to the national house of representa-
tives, then-sto the senate.

Question Of Universal Trans
: fers on Street Railways
Is Postponed.
MANY COMPANIES FAIL

Decision on the application of the
local traction companies for author
ity to charge a straight scent fare is
expected to be made by the Public
Utilities Commission within a week.
Cross-examination of officials of the
companies was resumed before the
commission this morning. 1t appeared
probable the public proceedings would
be completed today.
Many citizens associations and other
bodies were represented at the hear
ing today and participated in the

Protest against any increase in fare
being authorized unless better service
is guaranteed and universal transfers
are furnished was filed with the COM
mission by the Washington committee
III the National Womcn's Trade Union
League.
The commission. realizing that the
application of the companies is an
emergency one, will render it's deci-
sion with the least possible delay.
TRANSFER Issue Postponed.
1t may be stated upon authority
that universal transfers will not be
ordered at this time The transfer
question, however, will be inyesti-
gated later and as separate issue.
The commission will not confuse it
with the present issue. which purely
is one of whether relief shall be given
the companies to enable them to op-
crate under the increased costs i'm
posed by war conditions.
Statements made to the commission
by p. H. Gadsden of the war board of
the American Electric Railway Asso-
citation. indicating that the street rail-
way industry of the country is on
the verge of bankruptcy. are being
borne out by reports reaching the
board, which were shown to the COM
today.
These reveal the fact that the COM

1t is realized that whatever action is
taken by the. District commission may
serve more or less as q precedent Tor
other commissions which have similar
relief applications from street rail-
way companies under considera ton.

people with their goods, who have

from Lille, Turcoing and other places

In addition, he declares, there are all

whom the Germans are likewise re-
moving. Excessive misery exists
everywhere, he reports.
The headquarters of Crown Prince

II was noticeable though that the

there were many largo subscriptions
which helped handsomely in swelling
the citys total.
The local committee learned that the

an intense canvass of the business

With success. Since last Friday the
efforts of this special committee have
resulted in subscriptions from bust

The subcommittee on churches is
likewise active. and reports that the
members of the various congregations
in the city are responding in most
liberal and patriotic manner. This
committee has resorted to a campaign
of personal solicitation in order to
round up the subscriptions of the
church members.
Many pastors and church officers are
