THOUSANDS PLEASED
WITH ATTRACTIONS
AT MIDLAND FAIR

The 1927 Midland Empire fair
opened Tuesday with a program of
unusual attractions and the mammoth
exposition swung wide its gates to
greet the thousands that arrived on
Governors day. Governor John E.
Erickson and U. S. Senator Kendrick
Of Wyoming were among the distin-
guished visitors and honor guests.
With the weather ideal the fair start
ed under the most favorable auspices
for the best year in its history Thous-
ands made their way to the grounds
to view the products of the empires
/ farms and TO enjoy the highly elabor-
ate and varied amusement program.
Hundreds of persons unable to attend
the afternoon program were on the
grounds Tuesday evening and despite
the slight drizzle in the early part of
the evening the gorgeous fireworks
display and the accompanying band
concert entertained thousands. The
fireworks display by the Hit Fire
works company offers many specta-
cular features many of them graphi-
cally portraying events in American
history.
Wednesday, which was designated
as Montana and Wyoming day in
honor of the two states which are
partially included in the Midland EN-
pire, found the gala event in full
swing with a program which proved
even better and more highly enter
tanning than on the opening day. The
trotting and pacing races were speed
ier and snappier than on the day pre-
vious. The rodeo events of unusual
high type were marked with some
special events.
The fireworks display in the eve
ming was entirely a novelty display
which showed ten big features which
delighted and charmed the throngs of
people. Each feature seemed more
magnificent than the one preceding,
What Price Glory" and the landing
of the marines probably winning the
most comment. The fireworks were
accompanied by appropriate selections
played by the Billings municipal
band.
The agricultural exhibits are COM
plete in every detail, many of them
unusually artistic and enlarged over
former years and including special
exhibits. Every livestock department
including horses, cattle, sheep, hogs
and poultry boast of larger and bet
ter exhibits. The auditorium with its
artistic and colorful note of decoration
is a place Of beauty at night with the
lighting effected through Japanese
lanterns.
Thursdays program bids fair to be
even more pleasing than the two fore
going days with special features add
ed to crowded program of running
races, Indian and relay races that will
keep interest at fever heat. The
program Of the main events is inter-
mingled with the amusement pro-
gram.

MILLION DOLLARS
DERIVED FROM u. S.
NATURALIZATION

Westinghouse total revenue of
approximately $1,000,000 was derived
from naturalization sources in the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1927, it
was stated orally on September by
Raymond T. Crist This is the larg-
est revenue ever received in one year
since the naturalization act became
effective in June, 1906, Mr.. Crist
stated, and is approximately 100000
more than the revenues for the pre-
ceding fiscal year.
During the fiscal year just ended" +"

rived from all sources on account of
naturalization and matters incidental
thereto approximated $1,00O,000. The
nearest estimate that can be made to-
day is $997 7318.60. This is the largest
amount of revenue received in any
one fiscal year since the naturaliza-
tion act of June 20, 1906, became eff
fective. 1t is approximately 100000
in excess of the revenue for the pre-
ceding year.
"Offsetting this revenue Of $997,-
1850 for the fiscal year 1927, the
expenditures for salaries, travel,
printing and other items incidental to
naturalization totalled $745, ,544.71,
leaving a surplus at the end Of the
year Of $250,773.89 which is nearly
equal to the net surplus resulting from
the preceding 20 years. operation of
the naturalization act of June 20,
1906, which amounted to $397, 7,747.02.
The net surplus for the Fl years from
1907 to 1927 inclusive, amounts to

LAW REQUIRESTHAT
SCHOOL CENSUS Be
TAKEN This MONTH

The school census for the 1929
term will start this year on Septem-
ber Is and conclude not later than
October Is, under the provisions of
the law as amended and approved by
the governor on March 8, 1927.
In former years it has been the
custom to place the census work in
the hands of some one designated by
the board of trustees. Under the
statute as now in force this duty is
imposed on the school clerk with pen
alties for failure to perform it.
The statute reads: The clerk of
the school district shall make annu-
ally, between the fifteenth day Of
September and the fifteenth day of
October of each year, an exact census
Of all children and youths between
the ages of and 21 years residing in
the district"
The law as amended devotes much
space to defining the term residing
as applied to children, for the reason,
it is stated, that the number of chill
dren of school age residing in dis
trict determines the amount of state
school funds to be apportioned to
such district.
To be included in the census a child
must have become a resident of his
district previous to the first of Oc-
tober. Under the law previous to
amendment, no date was fixed. The
census included every child in the
district at the time the census was
taken.
The clerk must make two copies OF
his report. One of these must be filed
with the county superintendent OF
schools and the other with the school
trustees. 1t is the duty of the county
superintendent to check the report.
The clerk shall be paid 10 cents per
name, says the law. If he wrong
fully includes the name of any child
he may be fined not less than the Sic
nor more than $50. Failure of the
clerk to take the census makes him
personally liable for any loss the dis
trict may incur through his neglect

men to come down stairs-on the pre-
text of searching for liquor. The
tenth did the job.
Early next morning when the news
got out 40 gunner might have been
killed by enfuriated young miners,
had union officials not restrained
them. The incident had the effect of
intensifying the strike, which lasted
more than a year till the sabotage Of
the international officials Of the Unit
ed Mine Workers finally broke the
walkout.
Old Open Shopper.
Old Man Berwind had fought the
U. NJ. W. Of A. since 1894. At times,
as in the strikes of 1906 and 1929
armed forces were used. The rest of
the time the friendly neutrality of
international presidents was useful.
John L. Lewis has always refused
to encourage a strike against the
Berwind- White Co. In 1922 the strike
was led by District President John
Brophy. Lewis refused aid, even in
publicity. Readers Of the U. NJ. W. of
A Journal would not have known that
Somerset county was shut down, and
Berwind's company and Rockefeller's
Consolidation Coal Co. were being eff
fectively attacked.
Repeated His Tales.
In early 1923 the Journal made a
violent attack on the Somerset men.
Lying charges were made that "reds"
were dynamiting coal properties. In
this Ellis Searles, Lewis editor, was
merely parroting the accusations Of
the Berwind- Rockefeller-Hill gang
themselves.
Berwind has again had another
brush with the workers. Early last
month a strike hit two Of his Somer-
set county mines for several days.
The workers forced the management
to reinstate some Of the strike lead
ers and the battle ended.
