BETTER and BIGGER"
co. FAIR OPENS sept. s

Less than two weeks remain be-
tore the big 4-day Grant County Fair
at Mllbank, which will open Sept. 5
and close the 9th.
More interest is; being expressed in
the fair and more@ime and money are
being expended to make it a success
than ever before. The fair commit
tee have been working together for
some time getting the premium list
made Up. free attractions hired the
concessions located and the numerous
ether sdetails arranged, all of which
VIM pake The fair bigger and bet
! ter than ever before
Thes Federated Flying Circus, Of
Minneapolis, consisting of 3 planss
and, men have been contracted to
appear on Wednesday the second day
OF the fair. The flying stunts include
all OF the known tricks of the aero
service, which will be combined with
sacrobatic stunts, walking the planes
while in flight, parachute drop and
other death-dcfying thrillcrs. The
company exhibited in Ortonville last
Sunday and Milbank people who saw
the exhibition say that it out-classess
anything they have ever seen. The
program provides for at least an hour
and half's entertainments and it will
probably be two hours before the
stunts are completed. All of this will
be free in addition to the entertain
ments already provided by the fair
association.
The list of attractions is larger
than ever before and we believe will
be better than the majority Of fairs
around this part of the country. The
flying circus alone will cost consid-
cradle amount of money, but it is an
attraction that will be worth coming
miles to see and will be a great draw
ing card for the fair.
The drawing for prizes each hour
will be new feature of the fair.
Each admission ticket will have q
stub, which will be numbered. The
tickets will be placed in a box as they
are taken at the gate; the person buy
ing the ticket carrys the stub. The
frs drawing will be at 2 o'clock, fol-
lowed by one at 3, A., and s o'clock in
the afternoon and. 8 and 8 in the even
ing. The first number drawn will re-
ce:ve- s., the second will receive So,
the third 81. The same person cannot
win more than once on one day bus
can win once on each Of the four days.
If you are planning to bring in
stock or grain to exhibit and have not
received premium book, telephone
Fred Rockwell, secretary, or if in the
city, step into the Farmers & Mer-
chants Bank, where you will be able
to secure one. The success of the
fair depends upon the amount Of en-
ergy and boosting the average citi-
zen Of Grant county pu.s into the pro-
position. A little help from all will
be worth far more than great a
mount from few and will accomplish
a great deal more.

south SHORE COUPLE
CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY

Mr.. and Mrs. John Sweeney, resi-
dents Of Codington and Grant coun
ties for the past 80 years, and now
living in South Shore, celebrated their
fftieth anniversary of their marriage
on Thursday. August 18th.
The elderly couple were married in
Rockford, ILL.,, on August Is, 1871.
They lived there for the next eight
years and then moved to a farm
four miles west of Troy where they
lived for "a years. Since that time
they have made their home in South
Shore
Both are in excellent health, being
hale and hearty and are looking for
ward to the coming anniversaries.
Eight children have been born and
are living and they now have eight
teen grandchildren and two great
grandchildren. During the many
years they have made their home in
the western part Of the county, they
have made many friends by their
kindly and helpful ways. They have
seen their children grow to maturity
and the grandchildren follow. They
have seen the country change from
wild and untamed prairie to 4
wealthy and prosperous farming COM
munity, and they will live to see more
changes in the future.
The children who are living are liv-
ing are, Mrs. Paul Emerson and Mrs,
Frank Martins, Of this city; Mrs. P.
w. Poor, of Summit; Paul who lives
on the home farm west of South
Shore; Lloyd, of Summit; Will, of
Watertown and Percy, who lives in
South Shore. One of the great grand
children is the little daughter recent
ly born to Mr.. and Mrs. Howard En-
erson, in Minneapolis.
The family planned for reunion
to celebrate the event, but due to the
fact that Mrs. Frank Martins was
taken suddenly Ill ard had to undergo
an operation. the reunion was post
poned until later in the fall.
The Herald-Advance joins with the
relatives and many friends in wish
ing the elderly couple added happi-
ness as they live thru the allotted span
of years, just as it has wished happi-
ness 20 many young couples who were
embarking on their fifty-year voyage.

 Dear Friends: I W nt to thank you and the managers of Riverside Park for the delightful time you gave us last Monday
 I have been looking every day for a letter from some child and since have seen none, I decided to thank you myself for the children of Chan dler especially, and of Maricopa county.
 I am II years old and have lived in Chandler three years.
 Gratefully yours.

 Tempe, Ariz., July 27, 1921. To the Editor of Republican:
 Please let me thank The Repuhli- can people for the nice time they showed me at the picnic. It certainly was kind of you people to show us the best time of the season. Ii makes me happy yet when I think oi the hundreds of children you made happy that day; so many of them have no mama or papa to give them a good time. But if there is such q thing as the dead knowing what is taking place on earth. sure you made a lot of loved ones hapr. that day. I believe that is the prettiest pic ture in my mind I have ever seen those little tots, heads bobbing UT out of the water and tiny hands reaching for cream, and the big smiles they gave as they took the lemonade. It was enough to make you happy always and I hope the many newspaper men in the whole state will follow suit.
 am not a letter writer, but al ways want to thank those who dc things for me and I hope some day te be able to give big crowd of kiddies a good time. But you never coult enjoy it like I did that day.

 that the facts on which it was based were accessible to his colleagues. He had not, he said. suggested the re- opening of the case.
 A heated colloquy between Mir. Vaughn and Commissioner Johnson ensued in which the latter stated with some bitterness of expression that MT. Vaughn had not learned how to treat his associates on the com mission.
 Manager H. D.

Later, NJ. s. Stanley of the tax commission appeared and Com missioner Betts suggested again that | he be examined by Commissioner Vaughn. The latter replied that he had no occasion to conduct such an
 examination-there were the figures | It was the contention of MT. MVey
 that the company had failed within
 
 earning eight per cent on it's invest

 earnings of the system in the seven states in which it operates, as shown I by the figures, were only 6.SS per cent, it's net earnings in Arizona for 1 the same period were 7.93 per cent comfortably close to 8 per cent. MT. M'Vey admitted the increase of earnings last year, but he said that the 7.93 per cent it was shown to have earned in Arizona was not based on the investment, but on the earnings. a fact that accounted foi i the difference reflected in it's state | ment to the corporation commission | and the figures Mir Vaughn had found in the tax commissions office A telegraphic protest was received l yesterday from the Warren District | Commercial club against the pro- 1 posed increase. saying: Owing to the prevailing financial depression 1 in this state we earnestly protest l against allowing the Mountain States Telegraph and Telephone company 1 to raise its rates at this time" It is recalled that when the pres ent rates were allowed there was 3 similar division in the commission concerning the application, Conmis-
