One BIG DAY AT
THE COUNTY FAIR

The wet weather made it neces-
sary to crowd practically all of the
events of the county and Indian fair
into the last day, Saturday, but one
day was enough to show that it was
mighty big fair with garden and
field exhibits that would make any
part of the country envious. The
corn and vegetables shown were
simply grand and proved what the
soil and cultivation will do.
The exhibits of work of wide
variety done by the pupils of the
Indian schools, especially the Indus
trial school at Oldtown, were of re-
markable merit and of great credit
to the children and their instructors.
A list of the prizes taken by the ex-
hibits at this school is given at the
end of this story.
Prize Herd
The prize herd of shorthorns of
Lowe and Powers that won so many
ribbons at the State Fair were shown
and were certainly as fine as can be
found anywhere.

EDITORS ON A SPREE

The Herald man visited the coun-
ty fair Saturday afternoon and
thoroughly enjoyed it. In the even
ing Editor Butler of the Froid Trib-
une, was discovered working on a
chunk of beef about the size of a
half ham, at the barbecue and he
consented to come to Wolf Point on
No. and stay the two hours and a
half until No. A.
When the future county seat was
reached the S. 0. S. for help was
sounded and brought in Bert Switzer,
0. T. Stennes, Harry Mason and
others to help entertain the Froid
man and show him that he was in a
real town.

CulDeftSOn De1ng Ihe only town IN
the county to show a loss since 1910
when they were credited with 528
people. The Culbertson Searchlight
claimed that the figures for that
town were an error and it appears
that Mayor Geo. K. Dick asked the
Department of Commerce to inves-
tigate, with the result that a reply
was received stating that the figures
given for Culbertson were the result
of clerical error and instead of 347
it should be SAT.
The Herald is glad to give this
publicity and set Culbertson right be-
fore the people of this end of the
county. We are glad that the fig
ures proved to be an error as it was
a poor advertisement for the county
for one of its towns to show loss,
and it is pleasing to know that Cul-
beltson can show a gain OF 19 in
stead of loss of ISL.

Santa Claus Not
Myth But Real
Christmas Idol
BY LOUISE ALLEMAN.

One proof of the fact-if it need
ed proof-that Santa Claus is as
much loved and believed in as ever,
and that the Christmas spirit which
he radiates from his round, jovial
person is still reigning in the hearts
Of humble folk and great, is that
the advertisers have been compelled
10 restore him TO their favor.
There was time recently when
the advertising world was thorough
ly weary of Santa Claus. Yuletide
and all the other distinctive Christ
mas symbols. They said Santa Claus
had been done 70 DEATH" nobody
believed in him, anyhow, not even
the children. His picture hid be-

and anything which is not effective

But the advertisers were beaten.
They have had to come back TO
Santa Claus and this year he is
more prominently displayed than he
ever was before his Punishment.
Firms whose advertising slogans
have become household words, and
whose trademarks are recognized by
old and young. have made way Tor
the sleigh. the eight tiny reindeers
and the jolly old saint himself in
the most prominent part OF their
ads.
There have been some pessimistic
souls who have felt that the spirit
OF Christmas was worn threadbare
by this time and who have been In
clined to Danish that arch Christ

hearts. Perhaps the surrender OF
the advertisers simply forecasts the
surrender Of these unhappy mOrtals.
They will probably admit in a week
or two that they can't outlaw Christ
