Fair Secretary Says Fair
. Not To Be Abandoned

In writing to this paper under date
OF Sept. End, John F. White, Secretary
of the South Dakota State Fair, makes
the following statement relative to
this years Fair: Reports reaching
this office indicate that the belief is
prevalent in some sections that the
State Fair for 1922 has been abandon
ed on account of the Railroad situa-
ton. There is no foundation whatever
for such a belief as the management
has not altered its plans in any man
ner. With an overflow of exhibits in
all departments assured, only favor
able weather is needed to make this
years Fair the most successful yet
held in South Dakota. This Office has
been fairly buried under an overflow
of entries during the past two weeks,
and it Is being found necessary to
remodel some of the buildings and to
construct others at the last hour to
house the overflow. We have receiv-
ed positive assurance from the heads
of the railroads that operate in South
Dakota that all exhibits Intended for
the State Fair will be given prefer
ence and will be moved as satisfactory
as in normal times. Special trains
with exhibits will be moved to Huron
from the Minnesota and Nebraska
State Fairs"

l42 ENROLL IN
CITY HIGH SCHOOL
School Opens Monday With Largest
Enrolment In Three Years

High school enrolment at present
fourteen higher than In any previous
year. At present high school enroll
ment IN one hundred forty-two. There
will probably be five more added with
in next two weeks. Enrolment should
reach one hundred fifty before end of
year. Enrolment last year was one
hundred twenty-eight, and year before
last It was one hundred twenty-six.
This is not due to an extra large
Freshman class. It is due to the stu
dents in Sophomore, Junior and Senior
classes returning. Our Freshman
class is the same size as 1t has been
the last two years. The Senior class
is twice as large as at any time since
Mr.. Cooper has been in Miller. There
are twenty-six in the Senior Class,
thirty-two in Junior Class, thirty-six
in Sophomore Class, and forty-eight In
Freshman Class.
There is only one recitation room in
high school large enough to hold the
classes without putting two in a seat.
Two sections of Home Economies l,
History I, and English III have had to
be formed in order that the large at
tendance can be taken are of. The
first year Manual Training class is too
large to take care Of efficiently.
School work started on Tuesday In
first class shape. School was in SEES
sion on Monday and organization took
place. All classes are being held at
present and pupils are taking hold OF
the work in good shape. The exces-
sive heat has made it somewhat hard
for the best OF work, but nevertheless
all are working in first class shape.

Free Camping Grounds AT
State Fair This Year

Huron, S. D., Aug. STA long felt
want at South Dakota's state fair is
to be filed this year., with the inaus-
uration of a camp on the fair grounds.
The fair board has ordered the con-
~struction of a modern camping
grounds on the southwest corner OF
the fair grounds to be used by state
fair visitors who wish to attend the
exposition, and combine the event with
an outing. Arrangements have been
made with an awning and camping
company to furnish campers supplies,
available on the grounds. Tents, stow
es, and In fact all camping equipment
will be supplied at a nominal cost.
A canvas wall will be erected TO
completely enclose the camp grounds,
and police protection especially for
the campers will be furnished.
A comfort station has been built in
the camp ground district and will be
open to the campers and tourists
This feature, according to the secre-
tary is a great improvement and also
a real inducement to many people
who nave avoided the fair in the past,
through the uncertainty of securing
rooming Accommodations, during their
stay in Huron, the city being handi-
capped to a great extent in furnishing
Accommodations to such a large number
Of people during an entire week.

Wild Fowl Found Dead
On Shores White Lake

Plankinton, Sept. 5.-Mystery sur
rounds the deaths of large numbers of
wild ducks which had been making
their home at White lake, a fine body
of water some miles from here.
Persons who visited the lake report
finding 316 dead ducks in a space of
half a mile on the south shore of the
lake.
A strange feature is that no dead
ducks have been found along the
shores of the main part of the lake.
Mud hens and some other water fowl
also were found dead.
One theory is that the south side of
the lake may have some sort of poison
GUS vegetation and that the ducks and
other fowl had been eating this.
Many other wild ducks were found
sitting stupidity OIL the shores of the
lake, and when thrown into the water
seemed to revive and were able to
swim away.
This gives support to the theory that
they may have partaken of some pois-
onous vegetation growing in the lake.
