The crowd on the grounds early today gave promise of establishing new records for attendance at the fair before it closes Thursday evening. Visitors who filled the grandstand yesterday afternoon got thrills out of the harness and running races and the riding of cowboys from the res- ervation. The fireworks display giv- en last night is one of the distinctly new features of the night program. Entertainment tonight includes In- dian dances: and the fireworks dis- play in front of the grandstand, box- ing match in the stock pavilion, bow- ery dance on the fair grounds and the carnival features. The same pro- gram is offered for Wednesday even- ing, the fair closing Thursday after- noon. 18-Year-Old Girl Drives. The crowd cheered an 18-year-old girl, Margaret Robacher of Sprague, Wash., for her driving during the harness races yesterday. Though she failed to win she made a hard drive behind Diamond Norte in the 2:18 mixed special race. Miss Robacher's father is: an old-time horseman an she learned the art of driving fast horses while “traveling around at| fairs with him. She ie at the fair) with the Robacher string and was expected to be entered today. The onlookers also got a thrill when an Indian boy was loosed from the paddock in the center of the race competitive conditions.” . H This is the opinion of James A.’ Patten, multi-millionaire wheat king of Chicago, given in an interview with NEA Service in which he dis- cussed the fact that the farmer's collar has shrunk to 71 per cent of , its former value. The drop is due: to the decreased price of farm com- | modities as compared to what he! buys. Patten for years has been a keen student of agricultural conditions, and ‘his views are accepted as al thoritative by students of the sub- ject. , “I am asked where the farmer is headed for and what solution there is for his present situation,” Patten - said, “In reply I answer, the farm- er is not headed anywhere—he has | already arrived. His trouble is fun- | damental and it cannot be cured by; local applications. ' Wages Reduced | “Crops represent the wages of the ; farmer. He gets so many bushels of | wheat for his year’s labor.

MURPHY Future Course of Scrap for Board of Administration Appointment Undecided Jamestown, N? D., Aug. 29.—R. B. Murphy of Grafton, and not J. L Cahill of Leith, is a member ofthe State Board of Administration, ac- cording to an informal decision handed down here today by Judge J. A. Coffey of the Fourth District court. The decision is in the suit of the state to determine the right of Murphy or Cahill to the office. | The case was heard before Judge Coffey ten days ago in Bismarck and both sides submitted briefs. The state was represented by Attorney General Johnson and the defense by C. L. Crum of Mandan and Wm, Lan- ger of Bismarck. Judge Coffey, in his decision de- clared that Cahill did not qualify for the office. “I am satisfied that no oath was administered,” says the de- | cision, “that the defendant did not qualify at the time specified.” In the course of his opinion, Judge Coffey amplified his opinion that Ca- hill was not at any time during the recent appointment qualified to hold the office for which he drew salary until the 27th day. of February when Governor R. A. Nestos filed a letter with the Secretary of State announ- cing the withdrawal of the appoint- ment. The final statement of the what the farmer has to buy is de- termined by the wages paid in its j judge is that “he is satisfied that the oath of office was not filed with production, and these wages are not | re fixed in free competition, but are ar-| 1 qj tificially established. | N) | SQUARE DEAL, “The farmer, therefore, is the chief victim of a situation in which one class of labor is subsidized by wages | maintained at an artificial level, and! another class which has its wage de-| termined by free competition. “In the end, ‘economic law will; force a correction by luring men out | of the low-paid occupations into gub- | Declares U.
