The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1921-05-12

The proposition OF securing compe-
tent Judges to place events in all de-
partments is under consideration at
this time. This is matter Of great
importance to exhibitors. So many
fairs fail. because of indifference to
this part Of their program, for the
nisplacing Of awards destroys the ed
ucational feature Of the whole show.
Meritorious awarding Of prizes will
build up the fair and stimulate its
fundamental object.
In letter from the Livestock Edit
or Of Dakota Farmer, DR.. John T.
Dinwoody, he has the following to say:
Both the Dakota Farmer and myself
have taken intense interest in your
I Fair for the very reason that it ap-
peared to be successful institution
under very adverse circumstances. The
people of Bottineau County should be
congratulated in the excellent spirit
that they have shown in the conduct
! ing and continuance Of the Fair. In
reality it is one Of the most construct
i've county fairs in the Northwest and
this fact is especially true when one
considers the many adverse years that
have characterized Bottineau County's
principal comeagriculture." Right
you are John, come again. We hope
the Dakota Farmer will see fit to
delegate DR.. John Z. to attend our
Fair again this year.
It looks as though the base ball
fans are lining up for big things and
that we can look forward to some
good games at the Fair. Brandon will
be here again this year and the local
fans will begin to sharpen up prepar-
atory to taking them on for at least
9one game. We have a letter from the
Omemee team manager in which he
asks to be considered for game.
6Omemee usually has a good lineup
and if they are up to standard again
will be consideNed for game. The
ball diamond is receiving some atten-
ton these days and after some more
repairs in the way Of graveling and
working out with special roller de-
vices, ETC., should be in good shape
soon.
Corn seeding time is at hand: Farm
ers, when selecting your seed don't
forget to save ten ears Of your best
for the Fair. You may draw down one
Of those nice corn specials.
Women: The canning season viii
not arrive until after the Fair this
year, so look over your supply Of last
seasons canned fruits and select few
cans to exhibit. Incidently, when can
ming season rolls around label some
Of your best for next years Fair.
Look up Glass and geta line on just
what you have in the cellar that vii
add to the exhibit and perchance lane
blue card.
$3.50 first prize for Bronze Turkey
gobbler, and special prize of $5.O(
for the best pair of Bronze turkeys
should induce few 40 to so Founders
Of course, if the grasshoppers arr
plentiful again perhaps it would be toe
bad to lay the old turks off duty Ions
enough to take in the Fair. Anyhow
all things considered, look the turke.
turkeys over anyway.
The Board Of Directors will meet
in the City Of Bottineau next Satur
day. There are many things to con
slider at this meeting and the Secre
taw hopes that a good representation
will be here.
sTis said that delegation OF Bottl
mean business men will present 2 prop
osition to the Board that will bt
worth considering in the way Of an ad
vertising stunt. This is proper. Il yos
have anything to offer that will stim
ulate interest IN the Bottineau County
Fair just project it along for the con
sideration Of the Fair management.
