Inquiries should be mailed to
the county agent’s office in Bur
well. Anyone interested is invited

Wiggins Carnival
Coming to Midway
Wiggins Shows, which head
quarter and winter each year
at Canton, S. D., will dominate
the midway.
They will feature a Ferris
wheel (no midway complete with
out a sky-stretching wheel),
merry-go-round, kiddies rides and
an assortment of side shows.
“We have been assured this is
a high-type carnival,” declared
Fair President Uoyd Gleed of
Chambers.
Rodeo Haods Have
Their Own Language
Lap, Tap, Gravy Run,
Dink Are Terms
"With this doggin lap and tap,
draw that one buford and you've
got a gravy run. Otherwise with
that poor-scoring dink of yours,
you'll draw dead from the rank
ones and go out of the average.”
Rodeo hands, like bop musicians
or nuclear physicists, communi
cate in their own technical terms.
For example, the twister speak
ing above is obviously a steer
wrestler, sizing up his buddy's
chances to win. He allows the
second man has hope in this con
test, in which the steer is given
no head start on the wrestler, only
if he happens to thaw the one
particularly tractable steer in the
bunch. Otherwise, the second
man s slow starting and gener
ally unsatisfactory steer wrestling
horse will prove an insurmount
able handicap, since the other
steers are tough and fast, which
will prevent him from sharing in
the final prize maney.
Rodeo terms, like other words!
in the language, change with j
time. So no matter how long
you've been a fan, you'll probably

AVERAGE — Contestants in

ner of that event at that rodeo.
