PlLLSBURY HOLDS
COMMUNITY FAIR

The Community Fair and Potato
Show was held at Pillsbury last Sat-
urday. T. X. Calnan, county agent,
reports big crowd, estimated at
about 200 persons, including men and
women, present. Agricultural pro-
ducts, including potatoes and other
commodities were on exhibition.
Prizes were given for the best speci-
mems of each product displayed. 9th
er exhibits included poultry, some very
fine specimens being exhibited by
farmers in the vicinity. "A fine pro-
gram was carried out during the day.
Miss Larson, County Club Leader,
spoke to the women about things
which would prove interesting. to
them, while the program for the men
was in charge of County Agent Cal
nan, assisted by H. l.. Bolley, Of the
Agricultural College at Fargo, who
spoke on potato diseases and their
remedies. The ladies had some very
fine displays of needlework at the fair.
They also had displays of butter and
other farm products. Mr.. Ca}nan was
very much pleased with the way the
program of the day was carried out,
as well as the products which the
farmers had on display.
In speaking with Mr.. Calnan yester-
day, we are told that the farmers
throughout the county as rule are
adhering very closely to their policy
of holding wheat until they get price
which will give them fair profit.
Financial difficulties are the only
things which will force any Of them
to sell, and for this reason the Ma
tional Wheat Growers Association
has been organized. J It is hoped plan
will be formulated and worked out
that will enable the farmer to hold
his wheat until the price reaches a
plane where he will be enabled to sell
it and gain fair profit. The present
price being paid for No. northern
wheat is below the production cost.
Very little, if any of the wheat raised
in Barnes county this year viii grade
No. 1.

Examination Of the Bank Of North
Dakota was demanded by the people
of North Dakota by majority of
approximately 1900, according to
almos: complete returns on the first
OF tie ssgroup Of I. five initiated laws,
carried in last Tuesdays election.
In 2017 precincts, the majority for
the law providing for the examination
.of 4he Bank Of North Dakota by the
state board Of auditors is s18, ,721. In
scluded in the group Of "a missing pre-
,cincts are 56 in Mclean county, which
win reduce the margin about 100,
while II missing precincts in Sioux
county and two in Dickey will about
offset six precincts not reported in
.M0untrail, two in Bottineau, one in
Renville and six in Burke counties.
Other initiated laws hold majorities
of from 10, 900 upwards, with the prob
ability that the final range of majori-
ties will be from 10000 to 10000.
The majority accorded Warren G.
Harding Republican presidential can
.dilate, was lie, ,942 today in the 1886
precincts reported, with the probable
ity that the majority will be more
than 10000 when the missing 1O5
presmets are reported.
As the tabulation Of the state vote
nears completion, earlier estimates Of
the Eajorities accorded Miss Minnie
j. Nelson for superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and A. NJ. Christian
son for justice Of the supreme court,
are borne out. Miss Nelson's final
majority will be around 10000, and
that Of Mr.. Christianson will be
about 5000.
The race made by Carl Kositzky
for state auditor looms up as one OF
the most remarkable Of the election.
He viii be defeated by the league
capaidate, running on the republican
ti1let, by a majority Of about 5000,
tie majority against him being much
smaller than against other candidates
on the independent ticket except Mr.,
tO'gspnor for governor.

The total assessment against prop
erty that according to the committee

is based on sliding scale, that is by
thousand pounds per condensation.
The rate charged for the first $4,000
pounds is 85c, and so much per each
additional thousand pounds used. The

School officials at Grand Forks last
night, Coach Fagin Of the High Schoo

ship in the southeast district, winning
out over the other two contenders
Fargo and Lisbon. According to the
word received, considerable arguing
was indufged in, but after careful con.
sideration, the committee agreed that
Valley City was fully entitled to the
championship in this district.
Arrangements were at once made
for game with Grafton, the cham.
pions of the northeast district. The
team will leave here tonight and stay
over in Fargo until tomorrow morn.
ing, when they will leave for that
place, going through Grand Forks and
picking up the Valley City High
School officials. The game will be
played Saturday. Those composing
the team, in addition to Coach Fagin
will be-: Kernkamp, le; Root, 1t; Wag-
ner, lg; Larson, c; Ployhar, rg; Wer-
tin, IT; Curren, re; Seymour, III; Mul-
hair, fb; McFadgen, rh; Leussen, qb
Substitutes who will accompany the
team will be: Bohnhof, Meinhardt
Hanna and Briggs. "a. ..5 s. !.
Briggs is out of the game, due to a
wrenched ankle, but it is some better,
and it is hoped that he will be able to
play in at least part of the game,
Seymour is playing in his place.
This action on the part of the COM
mission at Grand Forks yesterday
settles the championship question in
this district at last. Many have con-
tended that Valley City was entitled
to the championship, having lost the
smallest percentage Of games, but
Fargo came back with the argument
that Valley City was defeated by Lis
bon, and they defeated Lisbon. Valley
City argued that they had defeated
Fargo, and so it was an endless round
Of discussion, but Valley City was evi-
IDENTIFY granted the championship be-
cause Of the fact that she had played
more games than either Of the other
teams and lost the smallest per cent Of
the number played.
The team winning the Valley City
Grafton game will then play Williston
the champions Of the west half of the
state, who gained that honor on Ar
mistice Day by defeating the Mandan
team by an overwhelming score on the
Williston field. Many had it doped
out that Mandan would be defeated
Williston having been playing a much
better game Of ball all season, and
having more experienced and season
ed players on their team.
As soon as the Grafton game is set
tied, arrangements will at once be
made for the final game to decide the
championship of The state between
Williston and the winner Of the Graf
ton game. The boys are going to
Grafton tonight, full Of high hopes
and although they know they are go
ing up against a bunch of huskies
they intend to fight to the finish for
the championship Of the east district.

Only scattered returns have been
received on the referred law relating
to the removal of county seats in
counties where the court house is
worth less than $4,000. These indi-
cate, however, that the law has been
rejected by the people. There are only
a few counties which have given their
approval Of the measure, and in those
instances the majorities are very
slight. This law was passed by the
legislature in 1919. It was sponsored
by group of legislators who seem to
make easier the removal of county
seats in certain counties.

Pardon me-" I said indignantly, 'but those belong to me"
 Benches ain't for bundles" crooked an evil voice beside me.
 Recovering my flowers, I turned to find seated beside me a rat-eyed young fellow, cheaply dressed. eycing me with an insolent stare. As l looked at him he began crowding over toward me. Plainly 1t was his intention to oust me from the bench.
 There's plenty of room on those other benches over there" I suggested resentful1y.
 Beat it yourself if you don't like 1t here" he retorted, blowing the smoke from cheap cigarette in my face. 'I got date here, and I'm going to stay, seef'
 I answered with an angry retort and hot words followed. We had almost come to blows when the bushes op- posite us suddenly parted. I caught sight for just q second of a vi1lainous face, that of man about forty, an unforgettable face with q red scar across the left cheek He raised one finger in an imperative gesture, signal ing to my unweleome companion on the bench. With a profane exclama- tion of dismay, the rat-eyed fellow sprang up and walked hastily away along the park path. Wondering what it w&s all about, I watched him out of sight around turning of the asphalt and then glanced toward the apartment house where in few min utes I was to be a guest.
 As I looked young girl came out of the house and walked slowly to- ward the park. At the corner she hesitated. She seemed to be debating whether to continue on down the ave- nue or to turn into the park. Appar- ently the lure of the greenery won her, for she came on slowly toward where was sitting As she drew nearer I observed her with interest. for she was one of the prettiest girls I ever had seen. Her slim figure her dainty ankles, her carriage, everything about her suggested the patrician. Her face, rosy and youthful, was set off by a jaunty feathered toque, from under which pair of soft, black, roguish eyes, shaded by long lashes, looked out above a dainty nose, Just bit tip tilted. on either side of which a fugitive dimple played.
 To my great amazement she walked right up to me and stopped short
