SPECTATORS

Washington, July 10.-Into the
growing controversy over govern
ment wheat policies, President
Hoover tonight hurled a vigorous
condemnation of short sales by
spectators.
Such activities, he said, have but
one purpose, and that is to depress
prices. In addition they rob the
farmer of his rightful income, the
President added, and tend to des-
troy returning public confidence.
His denunciation was addressed
to a limited number of specula-
lors" and not intended to refer to
legitimate hedging operations.
Prices on the Chicago market
have dipped close to the 50-cent
mark, influenced by heavy move
ments of the new crop and lack

NO COUNTY FAIR 1881
All EXHIBIT in SEPT.

At a joint meeting of the Roose-
welt County Fair board and Coun-
ty Commissioners, held at Wolf
Point July Sth, it as decided to
cancel all plans for a County Fair
in 1881. This action seemed ad-
visable in the face of a short crop
coupled with the present economic
situation, even though some ex-
pense has been incurred in pre-
paration for the usual exhibit.
While a full-sized County Fair
seemed out of line this year, the
Fair Board favored having a fair
for All club members some time
during the fall, the time depend
ing upon the settlement of exist
ing contracts. This would be held
at the fair grounds and would be
free as no expensive program will
be attempted. Such an exhibit
would include exhibits from the
800 All club members and would
a | include winning exhibits
shown at the school fair held in
May.
The Board of commissioners ap-
pointed Fred Rathert of Wolf
Point as a member of the Fair
Board to fill the uneXpired term of
Frank Bannister who recently
moved from the county.

The voluntary comment OF many
visitors, which sounded much
praise and virtually no complaint,
establishes beyond question the
success as a rodeo show OF the
18th annual Wolf Point Stampede.
1t is entirely conservative to say
that the show concluded Saturday
evening was the best of the eleven
that have been put on by the local
association. 1t proved the value
of experience and continued and
sustained effort over a long period
of years, and doubly proved, con-
sidering the times, the value of an
established and ADVERTISED

The officers and managers of
the Stampede and their lieuten-
ants are entitled to great credit
for achieving such a feat under
adverse conditions. The business

few exceptions, contributed liber-
