President, as chief executive of bus

President Steward declared that
civilian federal employees are alive to
their obligation to remain faithful to
their appointed tasks, depending
upon reason and argument to obtain

Departments, Boys and Girls Contests, Big Free
Acts Night Show and Spectacular Fireworks
To Be Features

Practically everything is arranged

big annual show being the biggest
and best ever held in the long history
of the Butler County Agricultural
Society. While the guiding hand of J.
A. Slade, who for forty years served
as a member of the board and was
for many years it's president, and
whose counsel and advice was much
valued, will be missed, yet the present
members Of the board are determined
to make this years show the biggest
ever, and they have worked hard and
faithful for many months to that end.

CIVIL WAR HURT TRADE

New York, Business is grumbl-
ing that civil wars throughout the
world is hurting trade. The ruction in
China has brought exports to that
country at standstill, except in sill
yer. Large shipments of that metal is
forwarded to the Orient by American
mine owners, and is used to pay the
soldiers in both Chinese armies. 1t
is stated they would desert if paid in
paper that might prove valueless. The
American tobacco trust is hit hard by
conditions in China
Upheavals in Honduras and Brazil,
and disorders in Ecuador and Chile
are also interfering with American
shipments.

week before the fair, nor have they
been of so high class.
Every mail brings more and more
entries. Especially is this true in the
fine arts and dairy and pantry de-
partments. The local people seem to
be taking more interest in making
entries and competing for the gen.
erous premiums this year than ever
before. The outside and professional
exhibitors who have always had easy
sailing in coping the big premiums
are going to find that they are up
against the real article this year in
the way of competition being offered
by the home people.
The swine, sheep and cattle entries
are exceptionally large and the board
is finding itself at its wits ends to
care for all coming in. Even with
the many pens and stalls afforded by
the new buildings erected the past
! two years the board finds they will
| have to put up large tent to care
| for the overflow.
The boys and girls contests in
baking, sewing, canning and stock
raising and judging is going to fur
nish one of the biggest shows of the
kind yet seen in Butler county. A
special department has been set aside
for the boys and girls displays. Lib
eral prizes will be awarded in this
department.
The racing card this year will be
the best ever, and of the highest
class. A total purse of $4S65OO for
the races is offered by the fair board
This big sum is attracting the atten-
tion of the owners Of some of the
speediest PAGERS and trotters in the
country so that some of the fastest
races ever seen on the local track
may be looked for during next weeks

The Associations membership has
been trebled. The stimulated public
interest in aeronautics has borne
fruit in the opening of new aviation
fields, the conducting Of air meets,

vancement of the science.
Thousands Of people have been
awakened to a realization of the COM
mercial value Of aircraft as well to
their Importance to the national de-
fense, and public enthusiasm and
support have been aroused for the air

world, and other worthy aeronautical
undertakings.

Wagner Would Have Them
Saved For Corn Show

"Pick samples now for the corn
show to be held in Bismarck this
fall" urges Paul c. c. Wagner, dis
trict extension agent. "Burleigh
county ranks high in corn produc-
ton in the state, and there is no rea-
son why a big showing cannot be
made.
"Flint corn is mature enough at
the present time so that it will make
good seed if it is properly dried and
cured. Last year this factor was not
important, as most of the corn cured
on the stalk. The corn should be
picked Immediately and placed in
drying racks, wire nettings, or strung
up in dry place where there is
plenty of ventilation and safety from
rodents. Don't wait until the time
of the show to pick the corn.
'Last year Burleigh was one of the
six counties in the state in which
more bushels of corn were produced
than wheat. The other five counties
were in the southeastern corner of
the state. This year Burleigh coun-
ty corn is ahead Of the corn in the
eastern section, and the farmers here
have a wonderful opportunity to
make reputation for the county if
a good corn show is held"

is not success, to buy a lot in the

While it has not been customary
for the state department to maintain
the roads in the winter, there has
been rumor to the affect that an
attempt would be made to keep them
open this winter.
"Buses and other commercial We
hicles are about the only ones that
use the roads in the winter" said

to use the money paid in by 100 per
cent of the vehicles owners to keep
the roads open during the snow
months for these few vehicles"

Hog Premiums
May Be Secured
In Foster County

Darlington, N. d., Sept. 25-Fos-
ter county hog producers will proba-
bly, be eligible in few weeks for
a premium of ten cents per hundred
on all hogs shipped to the terminal
markets during the next three years
as result Of the tuberculosis era
dication campaign put on by County
Agent G. c. Lake in cooperation with
the North Dakota livestock sanitary
board, the bureau of animal husban-
dry and the farmers of the county.
Formal application to the United
States department of agriculture for
the county to be placed on the "mod-
flied accredited list" was made a
short time ago by the county agent,
and as the county has complied with
all the requirements, it is anticipat-
ed that the application will be grant
ed in a short time. Foster is the
first county in North Dakota to be-
come eligible, and there are only
two or three other counties in the
state in which complete area tests
have been made.
To be eligible for this list, all cat
tie in the county must be tested for
tuberculosis, and then the herds in
which reactors were found must be
tested second time. When the per-
centage of infection has been reduc-
ed to not more than five-tenths of
one percent, the county is eligible In
Foster county the last test showed
only AZ reactors out of 1874 head,
or three tenths of one percent, which
is we'll below the minimum figure
set.
Most of the tuberculosis infection
in hogs comes from cattle who have
the disease according to authorities.
Nearly Is percent of the hogs slaugh-
tered in the country show tubercu-
losis infection. The packers find very
little tuberculosis in hogs shipped
from areas in which the disease has
been eliminated from cattle, and it
is for that reason that the packers
are willing to pay the ten-cent pre-
MUM.
