FAIR DATES CHANGED.
On Account of Epidemic County Fair

(Ry the Press Agent)
(By the Press Agent)

Thy the Press Agent)
On account of quarantine against
Spanish influenza, the managers of
the county fair have decided to hold
the fair November 5th to 9Th. This
will in no way effect the fair or the
premium list that is already out, as
the premiums will be given as they
are in the list dated for the fair Oc-
tober 18th to 18TH This will give
those interested more time to get
their exhibits in shape and the mana
gers will have more time to arrange
matters that will interest the public.
Let no one think because the fair has
been put off until November that thew
will miss anything, but to the con-
trary we will be able to have a bigger
and better fair.
The managers do not expect to
lose any time from now on as they
have already started the machinery
to moving, and everything indicates
that we will have a real fair this
tlWe, better than ever before.
| Already there have been applica-
tions for space that will just about
fill all our room. However, we are
! pe%NAN
something for you to see. We have
several applications for improved
farm machinery that will be help tc

cry will interest everybody.

AMAZING PERFORMANCE

American Headquarters in France,
Sunday, Oct 6-Americans fight
ing under the command of General
Gouraud are credited with an amaz-
ing performance in the fighting Of Fri
day in the Champagne sector. A de-
tachment assisted by French volun-
t. ers, under an American captain, at
tackled a very strong machine gun
nest in the slopes Of Blanc Mont
which had long held up the allied ad-
vance.
With the utmost skill, the nest was
enveloped and charged and the en-
tire garrison of four officers and 26e
men were made prisoners. Seventy
five machine guns, many trench NOR
tars and several tractors were taken
The Americans did not suffer a singl,
casualty. The enemy is throwing
some of his divisions into the line op.
posite the American front. One Of
these is made up of Badenese troops
and has been resting in Alsace for thu
past month. This division is a favor

He knew she was famed as q hunt

and when at length she excused her

watching with regret, at the parting,
the trim lines of her figure as she
dashed away on the desert trail, seated
as If a part Of her spirited horse, he

COOLING CREAM

A rea cooling tank between the
windmill and watering tank will put
so cents more value into every can OF
cream, according to the instructor in
dairy manufacture at State College.
He says that under present butter
market conditions the spread between
extras and "irsts" is about one and
three-fourths cents, which means at
least two cents per pound of butter
fat. In order to get this additional
two cents per pound of fat, a ear
cry must make extras" and in order
to make extras it must get good
cream Good cream requires thorough
cooling and frequent delivery. The
creamery which makes extras" can
pay more for fat than the one which
does not. This is why the Brookings
Creamery always pays top prices.

extremely blunt. and in the parting

ground.

As the horses of the w men
emerged from the canyon they saw a
slender horsewoman riding in toward
the barn from the Music Mountain
trail. She stopped in front of Meal

noted from Sleepy Cat by the new

roam pony. but. aside from that, a
glance at the figure of the rider, as
she a with her back TO him, was
enough to assure him OF Nan Morgan.
He spurred ahead fast enough to over
hear a request she was making Of Nc
Alpin TO mail a letter for her. She
also asked MeAlpin. just as De Spain
drew up. whether the down stage had

She looked at him In some surprise,
and then glanced toward Lefever, who
now rode up. De Spain was holding
out his hand for the letter. His eyes
met Mans. and each felt the moment
was a sort Of challenge. DE Spain. a
little self-censcious under her inspec-
