COUNTY FAIR
ONE OF BEST IN STATE
Editor Nyc of Fryburg Pioneer Is En-.
thusiasdc Over Outlook for THIS
Year.

Gerald P. Nye, publisher Of the
Fryburg Pioneer and secretary Of the
Billings County Fair, wishes it strictly
that although Billings was
famous in the old days as a COW coun-
try. and while, it vas the western
stamping ground Of Colonel Roosevelt
and Marquis de Mores, there is Moth
ing wild western about the Billings
county fair, which the Fryburg pub
Usher insists is n of the best typ
ically agricultural expositions on the
Slope. Last fall, following an al
complete crop failure, there was
held an exposition which was a reve-
lation to everyone. The attendance
several times exceeded the total pop
ulation Of Billings county, and there
was a genuine enthusiasm exhibited
for the educational features Of the
fair. This year the association hopes
to make the show bigger and better
ever. and with good prospects
for an excellent crop, Secretary Nye is
confident his associates will succeed.

~ sssWer.
Valley City, N. D., March s.-some
time ago c. E. Gordon, who acted for
a time as an organizer for the Con-
sumers' United Stores company, made
public a letter which he had written
to ]. w. Brinton, manager of the
United Stores concern, stating that
he had withdrawn from hat organi-
zation work because he was convinc-
ed that 1t was not in the interest of
he farmers whose subscriptions were
being solicited. In this letter Mr..
Gordon also stated that farmers
whose subscriptions he had solicited
had since written him asking for the
return of their payments. In order
that there might be a thorough airing
of all matters in connection with. the
affair, he challenged Mr.. Brinton to a
series Of joint debates in which the
advantages and disadvantages Of the
stores plan should be discussed. Mr..
Gordon has recently received a COM
munication from Mr.. Brinton in
which the latter asks that the appli-
cations Of these farmers be forwarded
to him, but he ignores entirely the
challenge TO debate. 1t is assumed
from this that MFR. Brinton does not
care to debate this subject with a
man who is familiar with its inside
history. f
