DEER RIVER FARMER ASSAULTS NEIGHBOR Lars Wahlstrom Attacks C. F. For- ney With Rifle--Bound Over to District Court. Lars Wahlstrom, a farmer living about seven miles north of Deer Riv- er, was brought before Judge Bailey Tuesday afternoon, charged with as- saulting C, F. Forney with a deadly weapon. Forney and Wahilstrom, both live in the same neighborhood, and For- ney claims that he wes walking along the road when Wahistrom fired at him with a rifle, taking eight or nine shots before Forney got to cover. Forney was accompanied by a pack of dogs and was yelling at them, and Wahlstrom took offense in some man ner, making his displeasure known in emphatic fashion. Both men had been very friendly up to the shooting episode, and Wahlstrom’s action is a mystery to those acquainted with the parties. Wahlstrom was bound over to the October term of distmict court in the sum of $5.00. County Attorney, H. M. Stark for Wahlstrom- 2,900 bushels of oats from 27 acres.

Medical inspection of the schoois of Grand Rapids was begun, yester- day, and will be a feature of the schools hereafter. The four practicing physicians of the village are visiting the schools in pairs, so that each child will have the advamtage of the opinion of two physicians, and where a case is in doubt, the physicians will consult, Adenoids, defective eyesight and the minor complaints with which children are so frequently troubled and which interfere in many cases McOuat appeared for the state and very seriously with their school work, will be given careful attention. In addition to this inspection at the beginning of the school year, the teacher will be expected to call in a physician when she believes that a child shows symptoms of infectious disease. A ruling of the board provides that the findings of the physicians will not be made known to the child.

To many who saw for the firs time the agricultural products of the county the fair was a revelation, og the possibilities that the logged-off lands of the north country hold, whil to these who have been frequent vis- itors to the annual exhibits of Itasca county products the present year’s fair showed plainly the forward strides that have been taken—even in the twelve months just passed, The erection of the new townt ship building this se¢son gave ade- quate space to display the exhibits to advantage, a condition that was materially aided by the shelving of the main building so that good dis- space than in former years. Thursday was given to entering exhibits, while Friday forenoon was devoted to judging and awarding premiums. Among the township ex- hibits the first priae went to thed is- play made by the Cloverland Farm club. of Deer River, which scored 603 points out of a possible 650. Ardenhurst would have been a close second, put for the loss of the grain exhibit in transit. This reduced the Ardenhurst score to 533. The Deer River exhibit also won first place for beauty of design, a special feature being a umique display of the different soils peculiar to the county and the proportions in which each are found. The Deer River township exhibit was in charge of Henry Treumpler, while the Arden- hurst display was exhibited by C. E. and Mrs. Saunders. Both town" ships had comprehensive collections of vegetables, and fruits, the size colorimg and texture of the crabap- ples, berries and plums shown com- paring favorably with anything that the southern part of the state has produced: The vegetable display com prised mammoth squashes, field and pie pumpkins, cabbages, sugar beets, mangles, carrots, parsnips, celery, cauliflowers, beans and a fime collec- tion of the famous Itacsa county pot toes, while the display of grains) and grasses in the Deer River section comprised all the different vari- eties that flourish in northern Min- nesota. In the individual exhibits, which were housed in the township build- ing, U. C. Gravelle took first place, scoring 420 points out of a possible 450. C. E. Sisler took second place with 390, and J. C. Hendricks of Bal- sam third, with 200. Mr. Hendricks’ display was a center of attraction for a great many visitors, as, while ‘his display was much smaller than the fact that he was striking proof of what can be accomplished in a very short time by north country farmers. A special feature of the Balsam man’s exhibit was the name “Balsam” designed in TELLS OF AGRICULTURAL PROGRESS |Handsome Exhibits Tell Story of Development That is Taking Place im All Sections of County—Vegetable and Fruit Display Com- mended by All Visitors at Fair Grounds.

Mr. Heingardner had on ex- hibition six of his herd of Guermm- seys. His herd numbers ten cows and from these he estimates that each cow brings in $100 a year—a nice sum total whem the low} cost of keeping dairy cows in this district is taken into consideration. Other exhibitors of live stock whe were awarded premiums were M. Ponti, James Hewis, L. Courtemache, LeRoy Wheaton, U. C. Gravelle and James Bickley, who each had fine specimens of stock on exhibition. One facotr that would assist material- ly in making the display of live stock larger would be better housing faci ities, @s the stables at the grounda are not in such ccndition or capac- ious enough to house a display that would give an adequate idea of what the county is doing in these lines. The poultry exhibit was one of the features that attracted considerable attention, White Leghorns, Buff and White Orpingtons, Mimorcas, Wyan- dottes, Rhode Island Reds and An~ conas being shown in a representa- tive display by a large number of the men who are demonstrating the prof- itaple returns that accrue from pouk try raising in th’s county. Household Arts Exhibit Beautiful. In the main building much atten” tention centered about the house- hold arts exhibist, some beautiful specimers of fine needlework ing the attention of the ladies. Ex hibits in this department came from Deer River, Blackberry, Cohasset, Coleraine, Taconite, Grand Rapids and the country districts, and the display was larger tham in any prev- ious years. Chief among the handsome pieces of needlework shown were some fine specimens of point lace. A set of doilies made by Mrs. Framk Price attracted much attention, one lady formerly a buyer for a large east erm house remarking that she had never seen more beautiful needle work- The designs of the six doil- ies were all original and each de sign different. In the china paint ing section a much-admired piece was a vese of black tustre work, Jap~ anese scroll design, the work of Mrs. H. W. Stark. Experts pronounced the piece perfect in detail, A unique set of woven rugs was an unusual feature that attraked much favorable comment, while a display of knitted socks, the work of Mrs. John John- son of Blackberry, was another dis- play of interest. Mrs. Johnson card- ed and spun the wool from which the socks were knit. The embroidery exhibit in this department was es- pecially good and was larger than in any previous year. Second Crop of Strawberries. In the fruit display an exhibit of second crop strawberries, picked the opening day of the fair on the farm of H. A. Wardell, was shown, and red and black respberries from the farm of B, S. Booth were another second crop exhibit made. The fruit exhibits made by P. P. E) liot amd John, Hepfel were especially fine, grapes, plums, aples andcrab- 24 yarieties of wood which grow in county and specimens of which were taken from Mr. Hen- dricks’ farm. The Gravelle and Sis- ler exhibits were striking evidence of the variety which can be pro- duced here, fruits, flowers, canned vegetables and lence which would be hard Stock Display Wins Silver Cup.

Jesse Heingardner received the sil- apples being shown that would equal in color and flavor anything that the high-priced lands of the east produce. The girls of the tomato club had some beautiful specimens of their summer’s work to show, Ethel Bick- ley winning first place with a bushel of tomatoes, and securing the rock- ing chair offered by George Kremer. Gladys Sisler scored 30 poinis out of 30 for green tomato pickles, can- ned tomatoes and tomato preserves, winning the pair of shoes given by B. E. Lieberman.
