DAREDEVILS TO
THRILL STATE
FAIR VISITORS
Famous Drivers Will Compete for
Tempting Prizes Offered In
Auto Meet.

Heretofore there has been only one
lay of automobile racing at the State
Fair of Louisiana, but at the 1920 Fair
there will be two days Of this kind OF
racing. October 81 and November z.
With the prize money the largest
amount on record, and entries more
numerous, the greatest field of motor
races ever witnessed at the State Fair
of Louisiana is promised. More than
q dozen of the foremost drivers in
motordom are scheduled to take part
in these contests. They are speed
demons who do not know the meaning
Of fear. They will whirl their cars
around the mile circuit at maniacal
speed, and those who enjoy sure
enough thrilling entertainment will get
more than their MONEYS worth.
In seeking the purses hung up for
these races, the dare-devfls will use
some of the most noted motor cars
ever constructed. These machines
were built especially for speeding, not
the ordinary kind of speeding but the
kind that makes ones hair stand up
with excitement.
There have been some wonderful
records made on the State Fair track.
It would appear almost impossible for
some of these to be surpassed, but
there are drivers due to race In the
two days meet this year who will try
to smash 'em.
As heretofore, J. Alex Sloan OF Chi
cago, will direct the motor races. Thai
means that the meet will be in charge
of one Of the worlds foremost auto
mobile race officials.

rection OF Prof. H. F. Bretthauer, secre-
tary of the Community Y. M. C. A. Of

properly. Professor Bretthauer will
be on the job constantly.
The Encampment School will be con-
Quoted for the particular purpose of
giving instruction and entertainment
to Louisiana boys belonging to indus
trial and agricultural schools All
such boys are eligible to attendance.
For their accommodation a large tent
will be located on the fair Grounds

the agricultural faculty Of the Louis

two short sessions of instruction daily,
and systematic visits will be made to
different exhibits, with ample time,
however, allowed for recreation and
Sightseeing.

\ Memory of Carol Evans Gentry.
The death angel visited the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. B.
Gentry, September 26, 1920, and
took their darling boy, little Carol
Evans Gentry, aged A years and
4 months. Little Carol was such
. sweet child that he was loved
by all who knew him.
It was so hard to give him up,
but God knew best. Everything
was done that loving ones could
do to save him, but all failed, and
his earthly remains were laid to
rest in Bethel cemetery in the
presence of many loving rela-
&yes and friends. Brother Ben
nett conducted the funeral SER
vices.
We will long remember the
many kind friends that helped us
90 faithfully in our trouble. May
Gods richest blessings rest upon
them forever. We cannot under
stand now why our darling was
taken. Today we may not under
stand Gods way, but in His
sweet tomorrow he will say:
Because you trusted where you
could not see, now as your need
just SO your strength shall be-"
and then we'll understand twill
be all clear. His way is best and
We will have no fear.
His loving grandmother,
IDA CoRBETT.

 it is known that the territory has been flooded with telegrams and let tcrs from the Seattle crowd, trying to whip Alaskans into line for the fram- ed up ticket in Seattle, the so-called Fifth Division of Alaska.
 Nome is the only section which has so far responded to the whip of the ring. Republicans throughout the ter ritory are indignant at this outside in- terfarence and there is already a re- vulsion of sentiment against the Her on combin1tion.
 According to the dispatch from Seattle, even Herron's boosters now admit defeat for their man.

BIG SHOW ON
 TOMORROW

Tickets are on sale at the Seward Drug Co.,, and are also being sold by pubic spirited citizens today for the theatrical production to be given to- morrow night at the A. B. Hall by the Anchorage Theatrical Club. The mem bers of the theatrical company will arrive in Seward on the train tonight and be entirely rested up to give good performance of "The Gutta Per cha Girl" tomorrow night.
 The coming of the Anchorage az gregation of theatrical stars means new departure in what should be a better feeling between the two rail road towns. The Anchorage thespians are coming to Seward on their own merits, trusting that Seward amuse- ment lovers will patronize their enter tainment and be pleased with the farra comedy offering.
 "The Gutta Percha Girl" was pre- sented at the Liberty theatre in An chorage last Friday night and made a big hit. The play was written for laughing purposes and should make hit in Seward, as it did in Anchorage. Following the show tomorrow night, the floor will be cleared and dancing will be enjoyed, just so that the An chorage people will learn how we do the jazz, fox trot etc. in Seward with our own peerless orchestra.
 The fo',owinr is the cast of char actors of "The Gutta Percha Girl"

WAGERS ALREADY BEING LAID ON BREAKUP
 OF THE YUKON RIVER

Dawson residents already are lay ing wagers on the exact time of the annual spring breakup of ice in the Yukon river. considered by all the most important date in the calendar in this section of the sub-Arctic.
 May has already been the month of the b~eak-up. Every year since the old days of '9S dollars have changed hands in pools organized by Dawson people, who back with money their yuesses as to the exact minute of the hour they think the ice will move.
 Usually the pools are made up of sixty entries, each placing his money on the minute of the hour. The man holding the winning minute" takes the sixty. Sometimes rallies are hinged on the break-up. Once man won house and lot in such a raffle.
 All Dawson stands on the river bank there when the break is expected. Weeks before, a stake is set in the ice in the river and a cable attached to the stake is connected with clock and steam whistle in the power plant on shore. When the ice moves the stake the cable blows the whistle and stops the clock. One year the ca b!e broke and bets were declared off.
 Usually all the other whistles and all the bells in town take up the echo of the power plant whistle tied to the stake. Up and down the big valley the echoes are carried, for once the ice is broken, Dawson knows that the long winter is owe" and that soon steamboats will be coming down the Yukon from Whitehorse with fresh supplies and mail from the far away outside world.
