Let's Go!
The dates of the big Phillips County Fair at Dodson have been set up for October 4, 5 and 6. It will be the first fair for our new county and there will be something doing every day. Our Dodson friends were very kind in patronizing our Chautauqua, so let us all plan weeks ahead on spending at least one whole day at the fair. Already there is talk of going up some day with cars in a body and as there will also be special rates on the Great Northern it is hoped a large bunch of Malta people will go.

Unruly steer forces Junior Miss switch
In what is apparently an unfortunate first, Phillips County Junior Miss Jesica Henderson won't compete in this week's Montana Junior Miss pageant in Cut Bank Saturday night.
But runner-up Kelli Kolczak will be there in her place.
The reason for the switch might also very possibly be a first in local Junior Miss pageant history.
Henderson won't be going thanks to the steer she had planned to show at last week's Phillips County Fair.
Seems she was working with the steer last Monday when she injured her elbow.
"I was working with him (Monday before the fair) and he started to get away from me so I tried to duck out of the way and I fell backward, hyperextending my elbow and shattering the radius," she said. The injury required surgery and the placement of five pins and a plate.
