FAIR DIRECTORS
ARE ELECTED
HERMAN THIEL, MENNICK FOS-
SUM AND j A. CAMERON
NEW BOARD MEMBERS

The annual meeting Of the Bottin-
eau County Agricultural Society was
held in the city Tuesday afternoon at
two o'clock, President Brainard pre-
siding. ,, - T..
The meeting was opened with a re-
port by Secretary Wilson in which it
was shown that the fair receipts
this last year were 100000, larger
than ever before and plainly shows
that our fair is constantly growing.
Following the Secretary's report Mr..
A. H. White Of Kramer opened discus
sion ofthe feasibility of changing the
name Of the fair association SO as to
leave the word county out and then
try and get an appropriation from the
Legislature at Bismarck and also
make it possible to accept entries from
other counties. Considerable discussion
was held on this subject and several
names suggested, among them one by
Secretary Wilson that the Fair be
called The Northwestern Nonpartisan
Fair This suggestion came from the
Secretary because three Nonpartisan
League members were elected to the
Board and there is already one on giy1
ing them majority. However this
suggestion was only laughed at but
from Mr.. Whites explanation and
view it would seem that the fair could
be considerably enlarged if the name
was changed to include more than just
Bottineau County.
T. Tuesdays annual meeting of the
Fair showed an attendance of nearly
$50 voters an compared with around
20 who used To- attend the annual
meeting in the past The reason that
the meetings heretofore were not
attended by larger number is attri-
buted to the fact that the annual meet
ing day.. prior to, this year, has been
held in January, when it was impos-
sible for anyone to get in except
by train. 49,
Thes three directors above named
were elected with ma ajorities of about
to o~er@ their opponents.

THE GRAssHOPPER SITUATION
BY C. B. Aamodt..

-
The grasshopper outlook for: next
year is not very encouraging. A sur
vey of the county was made last week
in company with Mr.. Stewart Lock
wood, Grasshopper expert from the
Extension Dept. and altho there was
not as many eggs found this fall as
last, still they were found in such
numbers that unless extraordinary
weather conditions prevail next spring
they are again likely to become a men
ace to the county. se.ess g.
The northern part of the county
seems to be worse. infested than the
southern part. The greatest number Of
eggs were found around Roth, West
hope. south of Antler and in-the hills
northeast Of Bottineau,s The eggs
were found in great numbers in the
waste places along fencelines and road
sides. Where strip Of prairie had
been left between the fields and the
road bitches, headlands and in other
idle land they were exceptionally bad
Eggs were also found in stubble fields
and but very few in summer fallow.
From observations made on this
survey it seems that the best way to
handle the hopper situation is to plow
every furrow that can be plowed, and
where plowing cannot be done double
disc. OF course double discing is not as
good as blowing but it will destroy .
lot Of eggs. The waste strips along the
roadsides should be plowed, also all
old headlands. By doing this the eggs
will be segregated to fence-lines, pas.
lures and meadows. and it will great

mittee, consisting Of three members,

WHEREAS, During the last few

illegal and high-handed attempt made

Scandinavian American bank of Far
go,as well as other banks and institu-
tions maintained by the farmers of
this state in an effort to hinder and
halt the Farmers Nonpartisan League
in its program for better economic
conditions, and
WHEREAS, We believe that this
base betrayal Of the people Of this

such officials to do the bidding Of the

posed to the best interests Of the peo-
pie Of this state, ,.
THEREFORE, Be It Resolved, That
we, the Stockholders of the Bottineau

N. Hagan and other state officials who
have so faithfully used their influence
and authority to uphold the laws and

variably the best way, 1t is said. If a

with the situation, the local condi-

Amherst will have memorial build
ing to be built by the Alumni associa-
tion of the Massachusetts agricultural
college in the college grounds and
then formally presented to the col
lege, to be used TO forward all sorts of
community interests. The president
of the university is very friendly to
the movement. The erection of this
building is looked upon as new de-
parture, in the direction of the univer
sity extension. The site chosen in the
college grounds Is very beautiful
one. 80
How Money Is Raised
In some communities the financing
of the memorial building is being han
died throughSa bond issue, but it is
considered preferable to make it a
spontaneous community achievement,
an expression of community spirit. In
some cases part is raised by voluntary
subscription and part by bonds.
When local municipal interests are
Incorporated, as in community using
the memorial bidding as q town hall,
municipal funds are used, but the
community memorial building, meet
ing place and social center, is first
and foremost for the returned soldiers
and sailors Of the community.
"In this connection" It is pointed
out by the bureau of memorial build
ings, "it should provide for the pres
ervation of relics and records of the
war, especially those having local sig
nificance. We have already empha
sized as a primary necessity the trib
ute to those who have fallen. Tro
phies, flags and souvenirs must bt
exhibited. and kept safe. Documents
manuscripts, maps, books, and othe
memorabilia and historical records
should be properly housed in ever.
community not provided with fire
proof library. Some communities will
be able to afford a war museum ant
war library"
The bureau of memorial building
also emphasizes lthe work done b,
many classes of our highly compile.
society. The memorial building 4
looked to to furnish q meeting plac
for all these various associations. Th
Red Cross, the Boy Scouts, the Cir
Scouts, the local board Of trade o
chamber of commerce, the grange, tn
