BELTRAMI TO-BE REPRESENTED Keen Competition Expected in Corn Show Among Boys Who Were Camp Members in 1913—Is Permanent Girls and boys of the Northwest ‘will take a prominent part at the Minnesota State Fair, September: 7 to 12. Perhaps no fair was ever held where children will find so much to do. From Monday, the opening day, when all children accompanied by an adult will be admitted free, until Saturday evening, when the fair closes, thousands of children will have the time of their lives. Perhaps the greatest «children’s feature at the foir will be the Farm Boys' camp. Over 140 boys from the rural districts will belong to this camp. Last year there were 104 iboys in the camp. This year the camp will be the largest one ever held in America, and it is certain to attract national- attention. A per- manent building, called the Farm Boys' Camp Building, has been set aside for the boys on the crest of Machinery Hill. Beltrami Represented. Only four counties in Minnesota will be unrepresented in the Farm Boys’ Camp this year, and Harry Bowers of Eckles will go from Bel- trami. In addition to the 82 hboys selected in essay contests, there will he 26 boys selected “from the con- gressional districts as units, four boys sent to the fair from the West Central and Northwest Minnesota Developments associations, and 30 boys from the State Agricultural school at Morris. The boys from the congressional districts have ibeen members of previous camps. All but a few minor expenses will be paid by the fair. During the week the boys will spend part of their time ushering in the grandstand and livestock pavilion. Specialists will take them on tours about the grounds at other times, explaining various exhibitd. A Spelling Contest. Minister of* Foreign Af- fairs of Russian Empire. DISTRICT WARDENS MEET Deputies of Fourteen Counties Gather at Detroit for Conference With Commissioner Durkin, BEMIDJI MAN IS NAMED CHIEF Game protection in Minnesota has never been carried out with greater strength than now, and the plan of the game and fish commission in di- viding the state into five districts, placing a commissioner at the head is proving a great success. A meeting has just been held at Frazee, the home of D. L. Durkin, a member of the commission, and a number of wardens patroiling the fourteen counties under his jurisdie- tion, were present. Definite plang for the enforcement of the various game laws were discussed and the work will be carried on in a system- atic manner in the future.

Nearly forty counties have already sent in the names of their represen- tatives, two .children fbeing seat from each county. These children have been selected by elimination upelling contests held. in the coun- ties since last fall. There is cer- tain to be strenuous competition when these boys and girls meet to decide the spelling championship of the state. Given 100 Words. Beginning at 10 o'clock, Friday morning, Sept. 11, a written contest will be held in which each child will be given a list of 100 words selected by three disinterestel judges. In the afternoon the oral contest will be held. Easy words will be given first, although Mr. Howard ex- pects to end up in the dictionary, so much respect does he have for the ability of the contestants. Last year three books were used before the champion was picked. Corn Show. This year, in addition to the reg- ular corn show, which promises to be larger than last year, a boys’ corn show is to be held in which boys who took part in the 1913 acre-yield corn contest will compete. It is ex- pected that a large show of corn will result from this innovation. Many entries of corn have been made, and there will be keen competition be- tween the dicerent sections of the state to determine which is supreme in the world of corn. Liberal prizes are offered. The show will be a per- manent feature.
