Large Attendance
AT Annual Fair
Fred Petrick Wins Grand Prize of
$4,000 In Drawing

Last Friday and Saturday was
County Fair Days at circle, and al
though the weather could have been
warmer, the fair as whole was pull
led off in fine shape.
The attendance on Friday was
light, but on Saturday there was an
unusually large turnout considering
the cool weather and busy season,
making it hard for many TO get away
at all. All parts of the county was
represented, many attending the Nc
Cone County Fair for the first time.
Exhibits in the agricultural de-
partment this year was lighter than
usual. Owing to so many hail storms
which has visited the county this
season, many gardens were ruined,
and others thought somebody else
would be sure to have something
better, and did not bring in any
thing, but wished after viewing the
exhibits that they had brought some
of their products and captured the
prizes. What was on display was
fine showing of what can be raised
here in McCone. AS was to be ex-
pected the corn display was not what
has been shown every year hereto
fore, but considering the backward
season, a very creditable showing
was made. 1t is not only in McCone
that the corn crop is late, and not
what we have been accustomed to
raising. 1t has been an off year even
in Iowa and Illinois. Mr.. Osmundson
of Sullivan creek, having just re-
Fair stated to the Reporter, that the
showing of corn at the fair here, was
better than any he seen at the big
Minnesota fair. So that the showing
for McCone was not so bad after ALL
In the school department there was
a larger showing then ever,and show
ed some keen competition between
the schools. There was many worthy
exhibits, and showed that many of
the school children are hard workers.
In. the ladies department were
many wonderful exhibits of fancy
work and in the culinary department
one could not help admitting that
the McCone county cooks" are
among the best IN sAo land
Fred Petrick was the lucky one to
win the Grand Prize of $4,000 cash
in the drawing. A number was given
out for every three exhibits entered
and at the close drawing was held.
No. AZ was the lucky number, and
this it was learned yesterday, is held
by Fred Petrick, farmer of McCune |
creek southeast of Circle The
money for this grand prize was do
mated by Senator George McCone OF
Dawson county, after whom this |
county was named. Senator McCone |
has always taken a keen interest in
our fairs, and in letter to Secretary
Kendig, of the Fair Assn. expressed |
his regret at not being able to attend |
the fair.
1t has not been decided yet just
what school district gets the special
$500 prize.
H. R. Reinemer picked out the best
exhibits and shipped them to the
State Fair at Helena. At this writ
ing no word has been received as to
what prizes have been won.
The sports events were excep-
tionally good this year, and all
events pulled off in fine shape. The |
Indian Band of Poplar was engaged |
for the two days do ings and helped |
liven things up, with their snappy
music, and was greatly appreciated. |

High School Girls to Organize

High School Girls to Organize
Tuesda evening a meeting was
held of all high school girls to deter
mine the type of organization they
desired this year. A very great deal
of interest was shown and discus
sion was held regarding the needs of
the girls. The girls favored a hiking
club but definite decision will not
be made until Miss Hannah returns
from Helena. The girls seemed in
terested in this idea not only for the
idea OF pleasure and recreation but
as a vital factor for forming closer
friendships between the girls and as
a means Of clearer understanding Of
the problems and interests of girls
all over the country.
The Vocational Essays written by
the Juniors and Seniors last year in
English were exhibited at the fair
Friday and Saturday. These essays
represented the results of semes-

tory will repeat itself that 9 split in 1 the republican party will again swing the independent voters to the demo cratic standard bearer, as in 1912. Naturally, the contest over the selec- ton of a convention city furnished the principal business of the demo cratic national committee meeting but back of the conference of democrats there was the greater battle of the respective candidates.
 Significant in the development o1 the contest thus far is the surprising strength of William Gibbs McAdoo, former secretary of the treasury. It is unusual for a candidate to have such an aggressive organization and with so many states committed to him thus early in the game. The opposi- tion to McAdoo is developing also.
 The anti-McAdoo forces for the time being are presenting the favor ite son plan of attack. Thus far Ohio James M. Cox will be the choice of the delegation. In New York ana ID New Jersey the stock of Al Smith runs high. Some of the Southern states are pledged to Oscar Under wood

BRYAN SAYS PRESIDENTIAL ERAC WILL BE THE LlVELl-

WASHINGTON, Mar. 3.-"It is going to be the greatest campaign since '96 i" said William Jennings Bryan as he gosiped with his friends in the lobby of the hotel where the democratic national committe was meeting yesterday. And the atmos- phere of expectancy which envelopes the gathering of the democrats cer- tainly does give the impression of a real fight ahead. The dissensions within the party are intense-the pre- sidential nomination seems ever so much more desirable to the groups fighting for it. The confidence that the next president of the United Stat es will be democrat reigns supreme. This is not merely a reflection of par tisan sentiment nor a wish that is father to the thought. In their priv ate talks, the committee men make the most plausible arguments about the future. "
 Men like William Jennings Bryan, for instance, view with satisfaction the coalition of the insurgent republi- cans, and the democrats and say his

FIGHT OUR OWN FIRES
State Owned Lands To Have
Own Fighters When Fire
Season Opens.

Protection of our forests from
fires will do more than any single
plan for demonstration in the
opinion of Elmer S. Hall, chair
man of the state conservation
commission, who has been investi-
eating the state holdings in nor
thern Wisconsin recently. Big
steel towers have been erected by
the state and from these a watch
is kept during dry weather states
the Milwaukee Journal.
The towers are connected by
telephone lines and a compass ar
rangement which makes it pos
sible for two towers to locate a
fire with mathematical certainty.
The extent of the states land
holding in northern Wisconsin is
not generally understood.
These state forest lands lie
chiefly in Villas, Oneida and Iron
counties, where they are fairly
we'll blocked, Facilitating their
protection and administration. In
Villas county % per cent of the
land area belongs to the state.
The supreme court decision in
the forestry case has limited the
work on these lands mainly to fire
protection. To prevent forest fires,
an effort has been made to edu-
cate the public and notices are
posted over the region cautioning
campers, hunters and fishermen to
be careful with fire, Reduction of
fires set by locomotives is secured
by inspection of spark arresting
devices on locomotives, a man be-
ing detailed to this work. He is
authorized to require needed re-
! pairs, or even to order a locomo-
tive out of service if necessary.
Sighting fire, a lookout tele-
phones it in, with his estimate of
the location with reference to
some lake or other landmark. Per-
haps it has already been reported
from another tower. If not, the
man N charge at headquarters
i telephones the ether towers from
which it should be visible. With
numbers from two towers he can
by means of his map on the wall
locate the fire by intersection
Then the nearest ranger is notified
to take charge of the fire.
