The Ward County independent., 1921-10-20

The Ward county commissioner are
in session today and declare that they
are going to settle the county fair site
before the meeting adjourns, if in
deed they have not already done so.
At this writing, it looks very much
as tho the commissioners will select
the Brush McWilliams site of 80 acres,
just one-quarter mile east of River
side Park and joining Elbow Park
Manor. one of the finest wooded Sec
tions in the city. The land lies nice
and level and contains no trees. One
Of the commissioners stated that in
asmuch as the site adjOins the wooded
section of the city and lies close to the
park, no trees are necessary. The
land can be purchased at a figure
somewhere between 5000 and $3.50 per
acre. No definite price has been
given the county at this writing, tho
early last spring, the tract was Of
fered the county at $250.OO. This
is the site recommended by commit
tee from the Association of Commerce
some time ago.
A. S. Spicher and Alfred Haldi,
majority of the members Of the COM
missioners' committee had recon-
mended the Olaf A. Olson site west
Of the city. The site comprises 73
acres and had been offered at about
$4,000 an acre, but the commission
ers received a letter from Mr.. Olson
this week, stating that he had raised
the price to $4,000 per acre.
Peter Vandenoever, the third men,
Der of the committee, had favored the
Peter Ehr site of 67 acres at $14,-
295.00 in preference to either of the
other sites.

Major Person Returns from Dairy
Show
Major E. S. Person returned the
first Of the week from the Twin Cities
where he attended the National Dairy
Show.
The Ward County Guernsey breed
ers received great deal Of favorable
advertising, the Guernsey bull bred
and raised on the Person Stock Farm,
receiving second place in it's class in
the show. This bull had been sold
to breeder from Bellingham, WASH,
and while the Major knew it to be
splendid animal, it had been groom
ed scarcely at all and the Major was
greatly surprised when the animal
pulled down the prize. The owner has
already entered the bull in the Port
land Exposition, and is much pleased
with the acquisition to his herd.
There were 1850 cattle exhibited in
the National Dairy Show and the
crowd that attended was larger than
that attending any National Dairy
Show ever held in Chicago. The at
tendance was made up very largely
Of farmers, showing that farmers are
becoming more and more interested
in dairying. There were several
counties in Minnesota and Wisconsin
that sent five or six hundred farmers.

THE DIVIDING LINE.

Are good and evil so closely related that every
good may become a wrong when carried to excess,
and every evil changed to good by the divine al
chemy of good intention?
Take the case Of the woman. for years leader
gan prison for the killing of a babe.
Her life had been. seemingly. guided by the chart
OF the good opinion of her neghbors until she
shipped that opinion above the qualities upon which
it founded.
She had given her days and nights the building
Of reputation for unselfish devotion TO the wiping
out Of evil. had gained the respect and admiration
of her neghbors. had become leader in her com
munity.
Then came event, the straying Of her daugh-
ter the path Of conventionality and she saw
herself the target for gossip the subject Of idle
comment castigated perhaps by those who had for
merly been her staunch upholders
IN that hour she thought Of what people might
say, rather than Of their reasons for talking she
felt the barb Of scandal and sought. not to right
the wrong not to accept facts. but to stop the
tongues and TO keep the good opinion she had won
rather than TO continue 10 merit t.
She is guilty of murder, says jury, and she Will
spend her days in pentence and remorse behind the
bars Of prison
One of the great restraints upon human conduct

IN this case it drove a frenzied woman to a bar
barous act because she forgot that and beyond
the gaining Of confidence and respect is tho desev

POOR BUTTERFLY.

HNNJIN
A scientist has succeeded in ex'
tending the life Of a butterfly from
seven days to 25.
Time was. when from your chrysalis
You scared across the hills,
You found delight, and tasted bliss,
And knew ecstatic thrills.
The world was lovely 70 your gaze
As YOU went winging by.
For. though you lived but seven
days.
You were a butterfly.
For you no loves ingratitude
or benefits forgot
The morning honey-dew your food
The rose your fairy grot.
You fluttered round tbs rainbow S
rim
Amid the scents Of Spring,
And died before the dust grew dim
Upon your shining wing.
But now. alas. comes envious man
Most basely to Contrive
To lengthen your allotted span
OF days to twenty-five.
So YOU must linger on the stage
Till life, once free and fair,
Is turned by stern and chilling age
To sorrow and despair.
Three weeks! When one was quite
enough
To fit through sun and shade,
And feast upon the filmy stuff
OF which delight is made.
To wane. to droop, to fear the cold,
To view the world awry-
A beaten thing. infirm and old,
Alas, Poor butterfly
