Fair
Has New Feature
A Poultry Exhibit Is Added
With Liberal Offering of
Premiums Given

A poultry show has been added as
a new attraction to the Mid Winter
Fair this year. The executive COM
mittee feels that the Importance OF
the poultry industry has been neg.
lected in the past and intends to give
it due consideration from this time
on. A very suitable room for this
has been located in the basement of
the Auditorium and poultry pens will
soon be under construction 1t is
planned to make these pens some
what permanent, as it is felt that
this department of the fair will
prove to be very popular and de-
sirabIe one in the future. However,
it has been found necessary to limit
the exhibits to geese, ducks, turkeys
and chickens for this year.
Perhaps never before in the his.
tory of the county has the impor-
tance of the poultry industry been so
strikingly emphasized as during the
past year. To many family they
have given sorely needed income.
Besides having a regular speaker
the committee will attempt to arrange
for practical discussion of the sub
jact by people who have made real
dollar und cents success of it. The
secrets of flock culling, mating, feed
ing, egg laying and other importan,
features of poultry raising will be
thoroughly discussed.
Very few people know who are
the pure bred poultry raisers of this
county. At time of the year when
all poultry men are considering 6
change of birds this ought to prove {
splendid opportunity for advertising
at profit by our home breeders. At
tractive premiums will be offered
Competition will be lively. Get il
touch with the Mid Winter Fair com
mittee and make your pen reserya
tions early, Poultry rules and pre-
miums will appear in the next Issue

MIR. G. Hog Saw His Shadow

Yesterday had place on the CAL
endar as Ground Hog Day and the
weather conditions proving to be
such that he was enabled to see his
his shadow. foretelling according to
the generally accepted idea that
there's still six weeks Of winter
weather before the coming of spring.
This is pretty safe bet here in
northern North Dakota, where the
snow remains on the ground from
November 1st to April LIST, but has
this year the additional backing of
of an early Easter. MIR. G. Hog is
little out of his cloudy weather
zone when he fills his North Dakota
dates and would no doubt get canned
if he happened to miss seeing his
shadow and the joke would be on him

COMMUNICATION.
Editor Farmers Press :

At last the people of North Dakota
have had placed before them the au :
dit of the Bank of North Dakota and
Home Building Association an a par
TALLY completed audit tof the Drake
mill, The report of this official au-
dit is such that nothing more could be
asked to completely vindicate the
administration of affairs in this state
by the farmers Of the non partisan
league. The report shows that the
bank has been run both honestly and
that the bank has been the means of
saving hundreds of homes to the peo-
pie of our state, and if the {. Y. A..
had not been successful in their at
tempt to stop the sale of the bonds
the bank would have been able to do
much greater amount of business
and have saved the banks aud other
financial interests of the state from
the effect of the money panic we
are now experiencing. The
Home Building association shows up
good in all essentials, and while the
report shows that the business could
not be pushed as fast as would have
been desired, it shows the plan on
the whole as good and practical
1t would appear that the management
of the Drake mill has played a. joke
on the andit committee as they had
them chasing the records between
the mill and Bismarck and Fargo,
to the extent that the audit COM
mittee claims that it did not have
the time to make complete audit
of the affairs Of the mill. But the
people of the state know that even
if the Drake mill didn't make much
money, as they were only running on
small margin, the mill did large
amount of good 1t paid from Is to
20, cents more for bushel of wheat
than any of the neighboring markets
and still sold -four lower than the
the Minneapolis mills. We bought
soine Of the -four when we came
to Langdon last fall The joke is
on the l. V. A. press as they have
been insisting that there was some
thing wrong with the bank and the
other branches of the public work
Of course Papa Herald will insist
that the audit company forgot to
look under the bed or in the
crown of Cathero's hat or in the
thumb of his mitten, and that is
why they did not find anything wrong
and all the little pickannies, the
weeklies of the.I v. A. press will
pipe the same tune, but what do we
care, Cathero aud the rest of them
have shown that in the face of all
kinds of difiiculties they can run the
bank and the other branches Of
