ship Wins First Prize in the
Spelling Contest.
Mile Lacs county was well repre-
sented at the state fair this year.
She had there 18 of her finest pro-
ducts, 18 boys and girls who will put
Mile Lacs county on the map. Six
teen of them were members of the
Boys and Girls club and two of them
were the champion spoilers Of the
county.
ROLAND Doughty Of district Is in
Hay1and township and Ruth Frykman
of Book represented US in the state
spelling contest conducted at the state
fair grounds on last Friday. Each
county was allowed to send two rep
resentatives and there were 70 con-.
testants present. ROLAND Doughty
won the oral contest, spelling down
all the other boys and girls from all
sections of the state and then after
standing a short bombardment from
the dictionary was released with
perfectly good record, not having mis-
spelled word. He also won third
place in the written contest but re-
linquished that as no boy or girl was
allowed to receive more than one
prize. This is the second time that
ROLAND has brought honor to Mile
Lacs county. Last year he won fourth
place in the oral contest. Ruth
Frykman of Book, who is only IL
years of age, made a good showing
for so young child and considering
that it was her first appearance at
such a contest. Ruth will probably
be heard from later.
Our county superintendent of
schools, Olaf Wasenius, is entitled to
much credit for the showing our rep
resentatives made. He is interested
in the work and does everything pos
sible to encourage the children.
Two of our boys won premiums in
the swine contest in the Boys and
Girls club work department. They
were Knute Johnson Of Foreston, who
drew fifth prize. on his purebred
Duroc jersey gilt, and Gordon Lund-
b1ad of Princeton, who won eighth
place among the large number of con-
testants that made entries in the
Poland China class. This was the :
first year Of club work for both the
boys and they did remarkably we'll
in displaying their animals. Edwin
Erickson of Foreston won second
prize on his grade Holstein calf and
Garret Dousma Of Pease drew the
third prize in this same class. Mile
Lacs county therefore made fairly
good showing in the grade Holstein
calf contest.
The dairy demonstration team, con-
sisting of Theodore Noeske, Lloyd
Bisso and Leo Bornholdt was an ex-
cellent working aggregation but was
unfortunately split up early in the
week, by the loss Of Leo who was
called home by the death Of his grand
father. The general livestock judg-
ing team consisted of Wilfred Johnson,
John Droogsma and Theodore Noeske.
The Girls Canning club from Cove,
consisting of Esther Brandt, Eliza
BETH Looney and Helen Woodward,
won ninth premium in competition
with 70 other clubs. That was
splendid record for the girls consider
ing how short time they have been
engaged in the club work and the
competition they were up against.
They exhibited "a pints of canned
products.
Waldo Hammargren, who made ar
rangements for taking the boys and
girls to the fair, must feel fully re-
paid for his labor. He has developed
the club work wonderfully during the
past 18 months.
Besides those mentioned above the
following received a free trip to the
fair: Marguerite Mattson and Edna
>Tollin of Milaca, Harvey Erickson of
Foreston, and Simon Jongejeugd Of
Milaca.
Lloyd Bisso and Theodore Noeske,
who entered an incomplete herd for
exhibit in the swine department, were
awarded the fourth prize.
Mention should be made of the ex-
hibits of some of our neighbors at. the
big state exposition. Isanti county
won ninth place in the rural school ex-
hibits and 23 counties entered the
contest. Swift county won first place.
Mrs. Minerva Hixson, the very able
superintendent in Isanti county, GER
tainly deserves much credit for the
showing made by her pupils.
In the county exhibits the state is
divided into three districts. In the
northern section Koochiching won first
place, Becker second and Lake third.
In the central section Pine was first,
Chisago second and Anoka third. In
the southern portion Martin was first,
Renville second and Olmstead third.
