ALBERTA TEAMS WIN
STATE FAIR PRIZES
Garment Team Is Grand Champion at
St. Paul-Teams Get Free Trip
to Sioux City Fair.

Alberta people are elated over the
extraordinary success of the demon
stration teams sent from the consoli-
dated school to the state fair at st.
Paul to enter into competition with
other teams of the state in demon
strating the making of garments, can
ming and baking. The garment team
received first prize over all and were
also declared the grand champion
team.
The canning team won first prize
in the State as Gamers, while Lucille
Larson won first prize as the best
demonstration in canning and thus gets
a free trip to the fair at Chicago.
The cake team won second prize in
the contest.
These two champion teams will
leave for Sioux City, next Saturday,
Sept. 16, to compete there in the In
terstate fair. If successful there,
they will go to the fair at Chicago
and again enter into competition. The
fair at Sioux City has entrees from the
three states Of South Dakota, Nekras-
ka and Iowa. Some keen contests
are ant to occur at the Iowa City, as
many of the girls are older than the
Alberta girls and possibly have had
more experience.

fair were made up Of:
Cake baking -Palma Norby,
Esther Peterson and Verna Larson.
Garment making team Mildred
GuIbranson and Mab1e Lee.
Canning team Lucille Larson and

Judges Stand Goes Over

An occurrence not on the program
of the county fair gave a Thousand or
more people several thrills Thursday
at the fair grounds when car, en-
engaged in the polo game, ran full
speed into a post supporting the
judges stand and caused that small
building to slowly but steadily fall
over. Eight worthy officials of the
fair were inside the stand while this
was going on and these men were
piled up in an undignifed heap on
the side that hit first.
All scrambled out without ceremony
and appraised damage to clothes,
bodies and stand, while the crowd
grew weak kneed through laughing.
Those on the inside were, Carl WolI-

PLAN NEW MEETING
NEXT MONDAY NIGHT
City Commissioners Ask People to
Talk Over Proposed City Build
ing Monday.

Evidently some misunderstanding
existed about the proposed meeting
of the ladies of the Civic League and
the City Commissioners, Monday
night, to talk over the plans for the
rest room in the proposed city build
ing, for only two ladies were present,
but as these were both officers Of
county health and Red Cross asso-
Citations, the meeting was produc-
tive of considerable good.
Next Monday night is the time set
is asked to come and discuss the sub
ject Of the proposed municipal build
ing on 9Th street and Oregon avenue.
The meeting will be held in the mu-
nicipaE court room unless it is neces-
sary to change to a larger place.
Every one is urged to come by the
Commissioners SO that the whole
matter can be gone over thoroughly
and any misunderstanding cleared
up.
In the meeting last Monday night,
A. w. Edison, county agent, suggest
ed the idea of a room in the second
story to house the county agent and
that lady take charge of both the
rest room and the Farm Bureau.
Mayor Devenney called upon both
Mrs. ]. C. Morrison, Chairman of the
Stevens County Public Health Asso-
citation, and Mrs. f. A. Hancock,
Chairman of the Stevens County Red
Cross, who spoke briefly in favor Of
the rest room and the proposed
building. ~
The building as suggested will
cost around $4,000. This, on a
taxable valuation of $1,500, ,000.,
would call for scarcely perceptible
increase in taxes, amounting to
some 40 or SO cents year on home
valued at $250O, sale price.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
ABOUT THE FAIR
Praise Given County Fair By Han
cock Record and ChokiO
Review.

The management of the Stevens
County Agricultural Society, under
whose auspices the County Fair is
being put on, is to be highly compli-
mented on the fair this year. With
out exception it is the biggest and
best fair ever attempted and is a
great success. The speed program,
exhibits, and free attractions have
been the subject for much comment
and everybody is we'll pleased as tes-
tilted " the number that has attend
ed each day, and the attendance has
grown larger adually.-Hancock
Record.
Chokio Review - The Stevens
County Fair at Morris was, to say the
least, a grand success. The exhibits
were plentiful, and of exceptional
quality. The only thing that marred
the occasion was an occasional
empty booth which should have been
occupied by exhibits as in previous
years.
The livestock was Of fine stand
ard, and Schuster Bros, of Chokio,
were well represented in the Blue
Ribbon class. The Ladies' Harmony
Club was also in a class by itself,
and speaks volumes of praise for the
patience and skill by the ladies that
ply the needle and thread. Chokio
school was also in the front rank by
its exhibit and the principal is to be
complemented for the turning out OF
such a fine display. Taken as a
whole the Fair was a success in ev-
cry detail, and one that could not be
beaten by any County Fair in the
State.
There were also the regular mid

Farmer Got 9c-Buyer Paid $1.25.

A letter from A. III. Bach who now
has a studio at Kennett, Missouri,
encloses a newspaper clipping telling
of local farmer cutting his name
and address on melon as he was
loading car for shipment north In
due time he received a letter from
e. H. Weber, cashier of the bank at
Frost, Mimi, stating that he had
purchased the melon at Blue Earth
and had paid $1.25 for it.
The farmer had loaded 1900 mel
ons in the car and had received an
average of 9 cents each for them.
The difference went for freight
and the profit of two or three men.

If you want proof of the value
of diversified farming, you can
find plenty of it in and around

Refuse War Risk Insurance.

Washington, April Ii Hundreds
of thousands OF dollars are accruing

eiiciaries to take insurance payments
It was learned today.
The parents of Thomas Speaks OF
Jennings, n. G., have refused to re-
ceive government insurance on their
son killed in France because of their
religious beliefs. They maintain that
to receive any money from the COY
ernment would make thenr an instru-
ment in his death.
Some parents have refused cash on
the ground that it would prove a. too
tragic reminder of their dead sons.
Many wealthy men also have failed
to fill out the, necessary papers be-
cause they thought it too much
trouble" and the funds are being ac-
cumulated by the government until
they can be satisfactorily dispensed.

NUMBER 20
WILSON AND REED CLASH
Interview in a St. LOU; Paper Leads
to Widen the Breach Between
Prominent Democrats.

The controversy between Former
President Wilson and Senator Jas. A.
Reed which was brought about by an
interview published in the St. Louis
Globe Democrat of April 18th is en-
gaging the attention OF politicians in
Washington and throughout this state
according to the metropolitan papers.
On the above date the GlobeDemo-
crAt published statement by Lee
Merriwcther, St. Louis lawyer and
friend of Senator Reed in which Mer-
lwether said that Senator Reed had
been warmly thanked by the former
president for the great service which
the Senator had rendered him (for-
MGR President Wilson) in perfecting
and passing the Federal Reserve bill.
Mr.. Wilson in letter to the Globe.
Democrat said that he had no reCol-
lection of ever having written any
such letter and said that on the con-
trary Senator Reed, as mmber Of
the committee on banking and cur
rcncy interposed every possible OBJ
jection to the completion and adop-
ton of the bill. Mr.. Wilson in his let
TEL. stated that Senator Reeds career
in Washington clearly showed that he
was incapable OF sustained allegiance
to any person or cause and that he
would never willingly consent to any
further association with him
Senator Reed sent the Globe-Dem-
ocrat a ac-simic OF letter that he
had received from Mr.. Wilson which
seemed to bear ont the statement Of
Mr.. Mcrriwcther, but attention was
called to the date Of the letter, which
was October 23 1913, or several
wee KS before the Federal Reserve bill
had finally passed the senate.

OUT TO CORNER" WHEAT7
Armour and Patton Mentioned Fol-
lowing Saturdays Scramble.

Chicago, April I6--A wild scram-
bic for wheat, which sent the May
price up 9 points yesterday and re-
suited in scenes rivaling the start of
the famous Letter corner and the
spectacular transactions of James A.
Patton, caused grain operators today
to await tomorrow's opening with
more than ordinary interest
Both MIR. Patten and J. Ogden
Armour, whose names have been men,
tioned in connection with yesterdays
sudden rise i'll prices, denied today
that they were in any way responsible
Tor the furry.
But, despite all denials, rumors per-
sisted that the furry which suddenly
turned the pit into seething mael-
strom of shouting, struggling brok-
els, breaking long period of COM
parativc calm, was caused by strug
gle between big financial interests
over the possession of millions Of
bushels of grain.
Reports of grain being rushed to
Chicago from Missouri River markets,
and of preparations to ship it in from
thc North, recalled how Armour in
tcrcsts had smashed the famous Jo-
scph Letter corner in wheat in 1893 by
chartering scores of lake vessels and
breaking way through Duluth har
Dor with ice breakers so they could
rush million bushels OF grain across
,hc frozcn lake to Chicago i'll time for
