PAGE EIGHT ~ 1,500 INDIANS JOIN IN FAIR AT FT. YATES Annual Indian Fair to be ‘illed with Pageantry of History FINE DISPLAYS About 1,500 Indians on the ing Rock 1 r twelfth annual fair at Fort Yates, Aug. 29, 30, 31 the finest | and biggest in their history. From year to year the Indians proudly make collections and prepare for their fair of the next year. This interest in the success of the affair may be due to the fact that about half of the Indians take part in the races, broncho busting, pageantry, and dances that are’ important fea- tures of the occasion. The old In- dians direct the pageantry and dan cing, for in it is portrayed the his tory of the tribes and individuals while the younger generation pre- Lares the displays of grain and other m preducts which they raise from to year. © fair grounds this year are de- signated by the huge circle of tents | which surround the buildings con- taming the individual displays, In centrally located places ure the old styles Indian tents bear- ing pictures of the history of the tribes. This gives the fair a conspicu- ous distinctive character that only an Indian fair possesses. | Horse and pony races will be im- portant features of the celebration; the awarding of prizes for grain and | live stock will occupy an important | place, but to the person who loves to see a nation unfold its past, the | Indian dances, four different ones h evening, in which’ the best dan- given prizes and the old In- dian games, will probably hold forth the greatest invitation. In the dancer individuals dance separately — ach portraying his own history, his own deed, and sypbolizing the nificance of the nathe which he bears. There is much individuality in the for no two are alike and yet ve the characteristic Indian style. Supplying music for the dance will be the tom-tom players who must be experts to really produce music on their drum-like instruments, There will be singing of old Indian songs and the playing of Indian game shinney, moccasin, and others—con- tests, and feats of strength. The bead work and the porcupine work done by the women and the sewing of the school girls are all un- usually fine. Many people come long distances to see the bead work, for st is rapidly becoming one of the lost arts with the younger generation. Much of the value of the old dances and Singin gis due to the fact that it is the old Indians who direct it as they remember it from their own parents and themselves took part in it during the early days. Only a few of the Indians who were with Sitting Bull at the Custer Massacre are now alive. Thomas Frosted is president of the Fair association, and Ben White, sec- retary, with a large staff of assist- ants. Charges At Minot j Tourist Camp May Be Eliminated Minot, Aug. 21—Action to elimin- ate charges at the Minot tourist camp, now levied if visitors remain in the camp for more than 24 hours, probably will be taken at a meeting of the Minot park board. The opinion was freely expressed at the meeting yesterday that camping charges should be removed, at least for the remainder of this season, in-| asmuch as the camp has been widely advertised as a “free tourists’ camp.” No charge is made at present for tourists who remain in the camp for only one night, but the charge sys tem was adopted when it was dis- covered that many persons were tak- ing advantage of the camp and its numerous facilities, while working or canvassing the city for. individual purposes. The present price schedule in the camp applies only to automobiles and not to the number of persons in each machine. It follows; First 24 hours, free. Each 24 hours after the first, 50 cents for each car. Reports Show City Babies Have Best Chance} = Chicago, Aug. 21—Some urban communities, in spite of the crowds, are healthier places for babies, than many rural districts, according to the: Infant Welfare Society of Chi- cago. A study \of the mortality charts for cities and for the country shows that babies born in crowded cities have a better start in life than children in the country, the society reports. “This of course is not be- » but in spite of them,” says the réport, “and is a jon made possible through the \education of the mothers even be- fore the babies arej born. “It is owing to the fact that we find organizations such as the Infant Welfare Society fighting a battle against ignorance, which has cost a heavy toll in infant lives in cities Such as Chicago, and that we find health departments carrying on the work of instruction, that in spite of | tenements, crowds and hot wave: through education, lives < being’ saved each year.

Prospects For Large Enrollment “At Normal School Valley City, Aug. 21—The pros- pects for a large énrollment for the coming year at the Normal -school are very good.” All. dormitory rooms have been reserved. for the Fall Quarter and the inquiries that are coming in for catalogs and information of the College point to a large attendance. One year ago the requirements for admission were four high school units but this year one must have ten high school units or the equivalent in order to be admitted. Another plan which will be started this fall quarter is that of extending the scope of the Training Schock. Last year the Training School con- sisted of kindergarten, six elemen- tary grades, and a junior high school the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. With the opening of the quarter on September 25 a tenth grade will be added and it is the plan to add an eleventh grade one year from now, and in the fall of 1926 it is planned to have a complete high school. oe SUNS aes AGED MAN ALMOST BEATEN TO DEATH Carpio, Aug. 21.—A, 0. Hayden, a Prosperous farmer, age 75, was near- ly beaten to death by two masked men who visited his home a week ago Friday, and demanded that he tell them where he had secreted his money, which was said to be hidden in large sums about the house. After beating him to uncon- Sciousness, the men searched the house, but found only u small sum, hidden in a stove. The aged man was found the fol- lowing day by a neighbor woman who summoned assistance, and Mr. Hay- den was taken to a Minot hospital, where it is believed he will recover.

They had hiked to Yellowstone park, and | Were on their return to their homes.

They explained however, that this was Probably due to the fact that pla- cards are posted at intervals along the Montana highways, warning au- toists against picking up people on the roads on account of the numer- ous hold-ups.

Mr. | Heller traveled through thousands of miles of country inhabited by sav- age and hostile tribes in hin search |for strange specimens for the muse- um. "The two new prizes, according to | scientists, are the dinomys, which he | brought back alive and presented to {the Lincoln Park zoo, and the capy- dora. The dinomys is a rodent some- | thing like a woodchuck, which since jits capture has-become so domesti- cated that he follows his master jabout like a dog, according to Mr. | SPECIMEN TO | Heller. The species is said to be near-, #8 being ly extinet, because it moves so slow- | ® jly that its more powerful enemies can’ overtake it. It lives in commun- ities, and its principal protection, Mr. Heller believes, is in that it gen- erally travels with members of its clan, { The capydors, a large rodent, is somewhat like the beaver, but larger. This animal is almost as rare as the dinomys, he’ said, and even the native see them but seldom. There are still many animals in the jungles of South | America that neyer have been seen by | | scientists. He brought back with him 1,800 specimens to be mounted by the Museum, including jaguars, tapirs, armadillos, anteaters and 16 kinds of | monkeys. Along the route of travel through the ,jungle, the scientist said, , are } many savage tribes or fugitivesfrom justice in more civilized lands who live without law in a semi-starved and half-sick condition. Virtually all these primitive peoples have some ailment, and they plead with the white man for quinine and other medicines. Medical missionaries“ and schools are unknown, he said.
