Second Annual Fair
Successful Event

WH0u IL comes 10 preparing gOO0
things to eat.
In fine Arts such as hand painted
china and oil paintings were some
real fine work.
In fruits the crap apples from the
H. L. Miller ranch was certainly a
treat to see, and big attraction.
In the school department was many
exhibits and interesting things to see
of what is being done by the younger
folks. Many of the schools throughout
the county had exhibits of the work
of their pupils and it was indeed a
very creditable showing.
d. w. Mendenhall of Glendive and
Mr.. Lewis of Terry, agricultural
agents of Dawson and Prairie county
were present both days of the fair to
assist in Judging and award the priz-
es. Carl Gaumnitz of st. Paul who
happened to be in town and who has
had considerable experience judging
farm products also assisted in judg-
ing.
One of the interesting places at the
fair was the baby clinic in the Kali
berg building where Dr.. j. Sippy of
the State Board of Health assisted by
Miss Regan, county Da1rSe from
over in Dawson, conducted examina-
tions for babies. About 40 babies we're
examined They also both gave inter-
esting talks on public health and Miss
anti-tuberculosis society.
In the entertainment line the big
attraction was the big 3-passenger
Curtis plane which performed here
during the two days Of the fair. The
big plane arrived hereat 2:3e Mon
day afternoon flying mere from Beach,
N. OAK, making the trip in an hour
and thirty minutes, and was driven by
Lieut.. N. d. Ely accompanied by his
mechanic Bill Dahlheimer both of
Bismarck, N. OAK. After having their
dinner the boys cranked up the big
bird and went for an exhibition flight
and we dare say it was a sight worth
while to see the performance. They
pulled off ali the acrobat1c stuhts
known in. the aviation games and
some of them wereC Cthrillers. The ex-
hibition flight on Tuesday was the
best. The boys then pulled off some
real good ones and after looping the
loop, and giving the rolls and spins,
they swpoped down over town and
at height of not over 500 feet Mr..
Dahlheimer, the dare devil wing walk
er of the Northwest walked out on
the planes left wing and waved to the
crowd This is one of the boldest
stunts known in the aviation game,
and the kind that made Locklear fa-
nous.
The boys also done nice business
carrying passengers and to Mrs. E. e.
Lewis and Mrs. r. o. Merry of Spring
Creek goes the honor of taking the
first ride, and reported it the ride of
their lives. Others that went up for
ride were: Messers. Reitz and Franey
Of Terry, Adolph Anderson and Dave
James, Florence w. Stephens and
daughter Marie, Mr.. and Mrs. D. L.
Eastburn, Chester Anderson and Chas.
Jacobs and even the Banner editor
ard his wife took trip up among the
clouds. All report 1t mighty fine
trip.
Personally we can say that it was
the greatest sport and although the
first ride can hardly be classed as
real Joy ride it is sensational and
trip. It. certainly was a won
derful sight to view the city of Cir
Gle and surrounding country and to
see for miles the winding streams of
Redwater and Horse Creek from
above. We both enjoyed the trip inn
and it was a lot of fun to To-
cate the neighboring farms and man
aged to recognize all of them. After
reaching O. height of better than 1000
'eet the pilot gave as spiral nose
live and we'll tell the world that's
when we went some"-the Ford was
1T in it for speed. Most of the pas
,engers were given the loop the loop
md that is the big thrill of the trip.
Lieut.. Ely the pilot, is mighty
inc fellow to meet, and one who GER
ainly knows his business when 1t
comes to plotting the big Curtis plane
Ind pulling off some of the dare devil |
tunts. The airplane was the first ev-
II seen in operation by many folks

ions were thoroughly enjoyed. Tues
