School Notes
Contributed. J

After a weeks vacation, when the
principal and corps Of teachers at
tended the session Of the institute at
Pendleton for the first three days,
spending the last three in Thanksgiv-
ing vacation, school activities have
begun with renewed interest.
The High school took the Standard

leon Kretzer, center; Claud Snider
and Dorvan Phillips, guards.

rived with her parents from Metolius,
Oregon, is a new student in the High
| school.

port at the institute last week, Asa

With the enrolment Of Geneva
Stages in the third grade this week,
the enrolment Of the third and
fourth grade room reaches AS.
Great interest in the better health
movement is being taken by the pu-
pills Of the lower grades. Captains
Of divisions are appointed in the diff
ferent rooms, and it is the office Of
these captains to maintain strict OBJ
servance of health and cleanliness
rules. 1t is gratifying to note the
earnestness with which the leaders
enforce the rules, and the improve
ment in personal appearance Of the
little folks. The move is the direct
result of the recent visit Of the coun-
ty health nurse to the schools, and
will doubtless bear good results.
With the enrolment Of Glen Barton
into the first grade this week, the
enrolment Of the primary room has |
been raised to 80.
Leonore Reeder and Beryl Taylor
were operated on last week for the !
removal Of adenoids and tonsils, but |

1CHATEAU THIERRY" IN
FIREWORKS AT THE
STATE FAIR

This will be. a realistic reproduc-
ton Of n Of the most historical
achievements Of the European con-
flict, whore our own United States
Marines distinguished themselves.
From the hour that General Per-
shing said to Marshal Foch, Let me
lead my men to an aggressive and
decisive part; we are ready" the
fortunes of war and the face of his
tory changed. It was the beginning
Of the end.
Chateau Thierry was the first bat
tie in which the indomitable vigor Of
those American boys was felt. From
that day the Germans " won a
battle. The battle scene as depicted
at the State Fair will be under the
direction of trained military men. It
will be q page from history told in
lines Of fire and tones Of thunder.
The special effects will be startling
the cen indescribable and never
to be forgotten.
This will take you at the South
Dakota State Fair, Sept. 8-13, the
same way the American Soldier took
Chateau Thierry-by storm. 1t will
be - true to HE as the ingenuity of
the skilled pyrotechnist and scenic
artist q make It.

new FEATURES AT THE
SOUTH DAKOTA FAIR.

A comparison with previous years
will show that the premiums in the
cattle department of the State Fair
have been very materially Increased
for the 1919 show, September 8-13.
Excellent special premiums are Of
fered by all the leading Cattle
Breeders Associations, and a new
class, that for Milking Shorthorns,
has been added.
In the Swine Department two new
Futurities have been added, namely,
Poland China Junior Yearling, and
Chester White Futurities, in which
a great many nominations have been
made. A class has been provided for
the Spotted Poland China hogs, and
It is expected that a substantial
showing will be made. Many Of the
Swine Breeders Associations and
others interested in this industry
have offered very attractive special
premiums.
Premiums are offered for eleven
different breeds Of sheep. This is a
branch of diversified farming that
should receive greater attention, and
the State Fair gives South Dakota
breeders an opportunity to show what
can be done along this line.

HORSE SHOW.

1t has been a well known fact for
several years that the Great War has
broken down the live stock industry
of the Old World, but it is Just re-
Gently learned that conditions are
much more serious than was sup
posed when the war ended. Statistics
show that the shortage is approx
mately 200 100000 animals. Horses
in tremendous numbers were Or ssed
into army service, some of the most
famous stables in history completely
wiped out, and it will take MANY
years for the industry to be built I'm.
This condition affords a wonderful
opportunity to American horse breed
ers who are not slow to grasp the
situation. Many Of the most promin-
ent will be at the South Dakota State
Fair, Sept. S-13, with some of the.
best stock in America. The State
Fair is offering some mighty attrac-
tive premiums, considerably In ex-
cess of former years. Percheron
breeders will be interested to know
that the premiums offered are great
er than ever before and considerable
interest has been created in the At
tendants' Glass where the roc or
caretakers Of the horses will compete.
The Percheron Society Of America
specials are new, and breeders every-
where are immensely pleased over
them. The special premiums offered
by the American and British Shire
Horse Societies and the Belgian As
ISOLATION are also well worthy OF
mention. All breeders OF pure hRod
horses in the state should havGN&h
exhibit at the Fair.
