PROSPECTS ARE GOOD
FOR EXCEPTIONALLY BIG
COUNTYFAIR THIS YEAR
Farmers' Club, Will Have E*.
hibits and Failnf Bureau
Will Be Represented
Judging from all present indica
tions the Beltrami: county fair to be
held on September ,15, 16 and 17 this
year will be one of the biggest and
best ever held in "this county. Ex
hibits will be entered by a number
of farmers' clubs and the Farm
Bureau will also be represented in
addition to the individual entries.
In Beltrami county there are at
present twenty-five farmers' clubs
and of this number nineteen are lo
cated in the southern part of the
county where they may easily enter
a display at this fair. At least ten
of these are planning to have a booth
and keen competition is assured.
Other farmers' c^bs which have not
yet made arrangements to put on a
club exhibit are t^rged to do so. The
display of farm products in this way
would not only encourage the raising
of better crops but it would also en
courage better co-operation among
the farmers as well.:
The Beltrami county Farm Bureau
will move its office to a booth in
the exhibition building at the fair
grounds during the entire three days
of the fair. It will also, under the
direction Of'County Agent JQvoraeek
put on a big exhibit.
A number of free attractions which
promise to be the best by far ever
engaged for the county fair here
have been secured. .These attractions
include Florinne, an accomplished
piano-accordionist the Burtinos, sen
sational wire cyclists and a fifteen
foot man, and the Johnstone's Com
edy circus, made up of three people,
two educated horses and Jasbo, the
bucking mule. The latter attraction
is advertised for jthose who wish to
laugh only, and ..promises to be very
entertaining.
Displays will undoubtedly be en
tered by members of the boys' and
girls' clubs throughout the county.
In this work it is, planned to hold
small local fairs about the time
school begins again and then the
winners at these small fairs will be
urged to exhibit their displays at the
county fair.

"GOD'S LOVE FOR THE

OF WEIGLE SERMON
left
Another fine-spirited meeting was
held in the big tent last night. 'Dr.
Weigle preached on God's love for
the backslider from the story of
Balaam. He said, that when a person
turns away from God and persists in.
asking God tp leave him alone
there*that
is nothing for God to do. bnit leave
him alone. But Wnen he turns from
his sin and is Willing to have God's
will done-, which is always for his
good, the plan of an infinite Heavenly
Father for His child, then Christ can
do His work. The impression left
by the meeting was that a man is
blinded and deceived who stays away
from God.

HARDING'S HOME TOWN
IN GALA APPEARANCE
Senator Lodge Will Officially
Notify Harding of the
Party's Selection
(By Raymond Clapper)
(United Press Correspondent)
Marion, Ohio, July 22.Thous-
ands of visitors are here today,to see
Senator Warren G. Harding' receive
official notice of hie nomination as
the Republican candidate for Presi
dent.
This is the biggest day in the his
tory of Marion and every effort is
being made to make the most of the
opportunity.
The notification ceremonies take
place in Garfield Park, a public re
creation ground not far from the
Harding home.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, as
'permanent chairman of the Chicago
convention which nominated Hard
ing, will "officially notify Harding v'
of the party's'selection. Harding
will reply*with his acceptance speech
in which he will outline the cam
paign issues and give his own inter
pretation of the Chicago platform.
Political leaders from all sections
of the United States will be here, ac
companied by hundreds of friends,
Harding boosters and visitors. The
official notification committee con
sists of one member chosen from each
state delegation at Chicago. .Na-
tional ^committeemen are also pre
sent.
Marlon put on her gala appearance
for the occasion. The streets are
lined- with, flags and hunting- Store,
'windows have fancifully framed pic
tures of Harding prominently dis
played. A Harding lithograph hangs
in nearly every home. Harding but
tons adorn coat lapels everywhere
and many are waving pennants bear
ing the nominee's name in large
white letters.
For the most enthusiastic, there
are blaring horns, screeching sirens,
clackers and other varieties of noise
making devices. Confetti is every
where.
Marion, Ohio. July 22.'Henry
Cabot Lorge, today in his speech no
tifying Warren C. Harding of his
nomination for President denounced
the league of nations covenant as
submitted by the President, as "an-
other name for the evil combination
which' was attempted a hundred years
ago by the ill-omened Holy alliance."
Lodge spoke at length on the lea
gue question and praised Harding
for his conspicuous part in the de
feat of the league as written.
"We have been and are quite ready
to join in agreement with other na
tions. Extension of the Hague'con
vention," he said,. "for the building
and codification of international law
and establishment of a world court
of justice for international confer
ences in regard to non-Justiceable
question's and for arrangements to
bfing about a general reduction of
armaments.
"But when we are called upon to
become an integral part of a, per
manent alliance of foreign powers
to engage ourselves in all the con
flicts and disputes of Europe where
we have no interests to put ourselves
in a position where the youths of a
country can be summoned by for
eign nations to fight and die in dis
putes not their own, we absolutely
decline the proposition.
"Such has been the policy of the
republican party as represented in
the senate and such its policy shall
remain. \Ve are certain that you
who have so largely helped us to
frame this policy, will, when the
executive authority comes to your
hands, carry it out in such a manner
we can fulfill out responsibilities
to the woriu without binding our
selves to a league such as was sub
mitted by the President/
RAILROADS TO ASK
HIGHER HAH RATES
Washington, July 2'2. Railroads
may ask the interstate commerce com
mission for higher rates on mail trans
portation to help raise the revenue to
meet the $600,000,000 wage increase
awarded employees by the railway
labor board, executives said today.
High postal charges probably would
result, postal authorities said.
WOMAN IN AUTO STEALS ROSES
A woman in Cleveland, Ohio, was
arrested with a limousine well filled
with rose bushes that had been, stol
en'from graves. Her only defense
wast "I love them and I can't buy
them." Stealing flowers from ceme
teries is quite a common thing.
