Low Wages to Miners

The situation of coal miners is
about as serious as that of the
farmers.
( The industry is over-capitaiized
and over-manned. There is a mar
ket for only about one-half the coal
which the available mines and min
ers can produce.
This has led to a cut in wages in
several sections and to idleness in
others.
The average income of coal min
ers is probably not more than that
of farmers-$853 year.

Sheridan County Fair
P|entywo0d Oct. 26-7-8


Fair to be held at Pleniywood next
month, Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday, October 18th, 9th and
28th, has been worked out and
completed.
Z. 6. Ferguson, agricultural ex-
tension agent for the state, has
been here for some time assisting
County Agent Ostby IN planning
the program and clas ssfying the ex-
hibis.
This County Fair will be held
under the supervision of the North.
ern Montana Corn and Pure Seed
Show, and one of the largest of its
kind in the State.
This Fair or Corn Show is open to
seven of the Northern Counties of
the State, namely: Hill, Blaine,
Phillips, Valley, Roosevelt, DAN
iels and Sheridan.
The Sheridan County Commits
sicners have appropriated $500 as
prize money for this show, and it
is expected other money will be
available for the same purpose
Lists of prizes will be published in
The Herald at an early date.
Grain entries in this show are
open only to Registered and Ap.
proved seed growers of the above
named counties, while corn and
poultry are open to all growers in
the seven counties.
The county premium list has
been revised and several additions
have been made. This year prizes
will Re paid for both beef and dairy
stock, best draft team in harness
and best saddle horse. One of the
features of the fair will be live
stcck parade on some afternoon of
the fair.
/ Another department that will
draw considerable interest from the
younger generation is the H Club
department. The prizes for this
division are LARGER than they have
been heretofore and it is expected
that there will be many entries
made in the All club classes There
will be All club corn judging con-
test open to team from each Of
the seven counties in this district.
In the womens department there
are several changes that have been
made that will enable the cooks
and seamstresses of the county to
display their ability to much
better advantage than heretofore
Those who plan to exhibit grains
and grasses at the fair this year
must be very careful to have their
exhibits in the very best possible
condition as to cleanliness. Many
exhibits that were sent In to TIE
county agents Office for the state
fair at Helena were in such a con-
dition that they were not given a
q second consideration by the
Judges. This may De very easily
overcome be spending a little time
in the proper preparation.
The premium list will 60 to press
10 the near future and will be ready
for distribution about October 1st.
However, all exhibitors should be
planning and preparing their ex-
hibits as soon as possible. This will
be the best opportunity that the
producers of Sheridan County has
ever had to enter into competition
with the producers from other coun-
ties, so it is necessary that a great
deal of consideration be given to
the quality of products exhibited.
