Do you want to be represented at the State Fair? If so, let us wake up and shovr the rest of t he state that we still exist. Now friend, do not depend on your neighbor, do something yourself. We have a good crop this year and there is no reason why we should not have as nice an exhibit as there is on the grounds. Sheman county is one of the best agricultural counties in the state. Let us keep it so. This reminds me of a little story i heard the other day. A young man who was matrimonially inclined called up a young lady by telephone and said, “Hello; I own 80 acres of Sherman county land, will you marry me?” The answer immediately came back: “Yes, who is this talking?” Now friend, if you have any tine or special varieties of corn that you would like to have on exhibit, cultivate it extra and mulch it good. Ik> not pull it until a couple of days before your nearest exhibit leaves: bring it in roots and all. You will probably be able to find some of your wheat, oats, rye or barley along the edges of the field. Bring it with roots. All sheaf grains should be iu sheafs about 6 inches in diameter and tied at the top. Do not bring iu any perishable goods either vegetables or fruit until the. last day before your exhibit leaves. The follow ing is a list of articles needed: Corn on ear and on stalk. Wheat threshed and on st raw. (>ats threshed and on straw. Rye threshed and on straw. Barley threshed and on straw, and any other variety of grain, wild or native grasses, tame grasses as tim othy, clover, alfalfa, brome grass, millet, etc: Garden vegetables: potatoes, onions, cabbage, beets, squashes, melons and pumpkins. Miscellaneous, embracing varieties of soil and other farm pro ducts not otherwise named in this schedule.

The St. P»uf formal f’pllege has had caflsTrom several County Super intendents'asking for teachers itcould recommend. Salaries have advanced from five to teii dollars per month.

Piul Norma) is an approved school, and makes a specialty of pre paring teachers for the profession in tiie shortest time possible. We shall want more than one hun dred teachers for next year. We can qualify any good eighth grade student for a second grade teacher’s certificate in one year, and give them the neces sary normal training. This is a great opportunity for young men and women to enter a good paying profession by devoting a short time to preparation. if jo# nir? fUtojr mopey, probably we pap |ie}D yoy.
