* BECKHAM COUNTY FAIR *
* NEWS *
* *
****************
Entries are still coming in. There
are seventy-seven head oi cattle en-
tered up to today (Monday). Several
parties have made reservations for
pens lor t,heir chickens, in fact every
department seems to have its share
of interested patrons. Undoubtedly
this will be the greatest display oi
live stock, poultry and products that
has ever been witnessed at the
Beckham County Fair.
The old grand stand was wrecked
last week and no one shed a tear.^The
foundation was laid Monday and by
another week the new one will be
up. The live stock pavilion has been
completed and painted one coat. All
buildings will be painted white be-
fore the Fair.
People as far northwest as Strong
City are already talking of the Fair.
This year will witness one of the
largest crowds that has ever visited
Elk City, and as for that we are en-
titled to a large number of visitors,
a« there is no other Fair west of
Oklahoma City that can compare
with the Beckham County Fair. We
have the best of everything, and this
year will have buildings fit to house
the fine stock that comes to compete
for our premiums. The man who
holds a ribbon from the Beckham
County Fair for the year 1921 will
have something of which he may well
be proud.
Twenty-six hundred Fair cata-
logues have been mailed^ out by the
Secretary and if you did not get your
copy we have plenty left at the News-
Democrat office and at the Secre-
tary’s office.
Only six weeks more to prepare
and the books are now open. All
entries made before the 14th day of
September will assist the Association
as there is always a rush on that
day. You can make your entries any
time and bring your stock or pro-
ducts the 14th.
This year, the Association is giving
some free attractions. This^ has
never been done before and is an
added improvement to the entertain-
ment. The ticket plan on the grand
stand and center field has also been
changed, so that one ticket will pass
you to the center field or grand stand
either one. This is a direct saving to
the patrons of the Fair.
College, is to ba the poultry juJgc
at the Beckham Caunty Fair this
year. He will give a ecture, and
one afternoon and test o -i the best
laying hen. Mr. Smith is well in-
formed on the subject of poultry and
no farmer can afford tto miss his
lecture—
MAKE YOUR ENTRY EARLY.
CANUTE SCHOOL NEWS
Canute school commenced last
Monday, with a good enrollment, ana
aside from trouble getting books loi
the high school work, everything is
starting in fine order. Enthusiasm
of the right kind is to be noted on
every side. Teachers and pupils are
co-operating to reach a higher stan-
dard of efficiency, and to make this
the best consolidated school in tn.
state.
The people of the community are
behind with their hearts, souls and
pocketbooks, in'such a way as is t.
dom to be found. A staunch, pro-
gressive school spirit penetrates i
ci.Lire community. With such sur-
roundings, any kind but a good
school is impossible, and that is what
Canute has had for several years,
but this year promises a better school
still.
Another teacher has been added
this year, making a faculty of six
teachers. The faculty this year is
strongly masculine, of the six, only
three are girls. The teachers are:
T. E. Ellis, from Retrop, Okla., Mr.
Herbert Hall, from Edmond, Okla.,
Mr. Jerry Wilcox, of Canute, Miss
Carrie Renegar, from Cordell, Okla.,
Miss Eula Ellis, from Retrop, Okla.,
and Miss Nora Standifer, from Cor-
dell, Oklahoma.
Friday night we are to meetrfit the
school building. At that time we
will have as our principal speaker
of the occasion, Mr. A. H. Burris,
president of the Southwestern Teach-
ers College, at Weatherford, Okla.
Mr. Burris is one of the leading
educators of the state. He is inti-
mately acquainted with education in
Oklahoma, having taught in rural,
town mu city schools. He under-
stands the educational needs of the
different kinds tf conmumtics. as
but few can. We should like for
any and all teachers, students, pupils
patrons and school board, members
of this and surrounding communities
to hear him, for he has something
worth while to tell us.
Remember the time, Friday night,
August 5th, at eight o’clock—the
place, Canute School Building.

Uncle Jim Constable answered the
final call Thursday July 28th. He
had the misfortune to get his hip

was the cause of his death.

ing at the time of his death. \

Church of Christ. He leaves a wife

of grand children to mourn his loss.
The remains were taken to Enid for
interment, being accompanied by the
wife and a grand daughter.

Has really all the honor that he

We can be famous for our works of

A jeweled

And Croesus oft’s the poorest man
