major is about 40 years Of age. and is'
only Is inches tall, weighing some
what less than 80 pounds. Most,
curiosities of this class, although UNI
deniably small, display this quality
of size, not only in form, but also In
intellect and general aptitude. Major
Gantz is different from the general
run In this respect, for he Is very
we'll educated person and can talk
iluently in several different languages.
besides being we'll informed in all the
topics of the day. He wears number
z hat and smokes ten-cent cigar.
He has been at the show business for
over ten years, starting out from Fair
field, Iowa, where he graduated from
the high school.
Turkey Pete with the Pelissiers Wild
West show had narrow escape yes
terday afternoon at the afternoon en-
tertainment He was riding the buck
ing broncho, and smiling with con-
tentment, when suddenly the horse
headed for the ropes surrounding the
arena and crashed head foremost into
them, almost iethroning Pete from his
perch on the saddle. Had the ropes
given way, people on the outside
strolling on the grounds would have
been treated to fine sight.
T. White, manager of the Cash
Carnival company, Is another of the
busy men on the grounds. Mr.. White
personally looks after each exhibit
and attraction, and 1t keeps him very
busy all the time.
After the finish of the second heat
of the 1925 pace and 1920 trot at the
races yesterday afternoon at the fair,
starter Eaton, in behalf of the host
of friends of Larry Downey, owner of
the popular horse Della D0wney,.
presented him with a new jockeycap.
Needless to say, Mr.. Downey felt very
pulled up over the gift and through
the Evening Times wishes to thank
his friends for the gift.
The balloon ascension and para
chute jump made by Hugh Henry Of
the carnival company, came off at
schedule time. The balloon reached a ,
height of about 1000 feet before the.
parachute was cut loose. The wind
was blowing from the southeast, and
the drop was made in the vicinity of
the English coulee on the Bacon farm.
Secretary A. L. Woods is unioubted-
ly the busiest man on the grounds.
for although he has large corps of
assistants, there are numerous in
quiries made regarding affairs which
the secretary alone can satisfy. Not
withstanding all this, Mr.. Woods seems.
to be getting along first rate, and still
wears his customary smile of salts
faction. Mr.. Woods says that the pro-
gram will be pulled of just as
scheduled, and II any changes are.
necessary, they will be announced in
time.
DR.. Orr Sanders of Grand Forks, is:
exhibiting a prize-blooded mare and
colt in the horse barn B. Work con-
nected with the care and handling Of
his stock is greater than he had
imagined. Men are hired to care for
them, but there seems to be too many
other things more interesting than
carrying water and hay, consequently
everything must be personally looked
after.
Many of the free performances in

from the tiny ones few months old
which are no longer than house dogs
to the ones able to draw small car
riage with ease. Two notable animals
are the two beautiful stations which
are beautiful and graceful as a ga
zelle and as gentle as pet lamb Mr..
White informed the Evening Times
that they are the most profitable ami
mails on his vast farm, as they require
no close housing in winter and but
little food, while he finds ready sale
for them at about the same price real
lied for horses.
He is probably the largest breeder
of Angora goats in the state, and has
fine flock on exhibition which will
be metioned in detail before the clos
ing of the fair, as will also his magni-
ficent Norman horses.
Lilac Hedge Herd.
The Lilac Hedge herd of Red-Polled
was mentioned in yesterdays Evening
Times, but no effort should be spared
to get the people Of the state interest
ed in the raising of fine cattle, espec-
tally in the Red River Valley. The
herd which is ON exhibition includes
% head, and the quantity of milk pro-
duced and the splendid development
of the beef elements prove that where
dual purpose herd is desired they are
among the leaders. The herd includes
number of calves which are magni-
f1cent specimens of what is the much
talked Of baby beef" Bacon G. Nc
Intyre, the owners of the herd, have
made some splendid proofs of their
ability to grow this coming grade of
beef and beef consumers as we'll as
farmers who are interested in this line
of stock raising should spend some
time looking over the herd at the fair
grounds.
South Dakota Herefords.
1t almost makes the mouth water to
look at the magnificent herd of Here
ford cattle which are being exhibited
by Frank Crank of the Wild Rose
Stock farm of Tulare, South Dakota
He has II animals in the lot and they
are spledid examples of the methods
of growing beef in modern times. In
fact after look at this herd, one is
compelled to wonder where all the
tough beef sold in the markets comes
from. AS mixers they are low grade
but the development Is along the lines
of big, rich beef stakes and roasts.
They are heavy, we'll formed and fat.
Streeter's HerefOrds.
1t must not be thought however that
North Dakota cannot raise HerfOrds
for the reverse is proved by the exhib-
it of ]. B. Streeter of Larimore who has
herd of nine at the fair, from his Lii
lac Hedge Stock Farm. 1t is useless
to say that these cattle are among the
greatest money makers for the farm

Mention has already been made in
these columns of the exhibit of Short
Horns made by David Clark & Son of
BOttineau, but 1t could be mentioned
many times without fully describing
its merits. They are among the fore
most breeders of the northwest and
have a herd of pure breeds which in
dicate in striking manner the success
they have made. In the herd of four
teen there are four bulls, one aged
and the others being one and two years
old, while the fourth is calf. All
these are valuable animals and COM
mand the very highest prices in the
market as breeders. The herd was
increased on the road to this city by
calf which was born, raising the
number to fourteen.

we'll, of which L. H. White is proprjs-
tor. is certainly wonder so far as the
growing Of fine stock is concerned. Mr..
White owns thousand acres of land
and has probably a larger variety of
fine stock than any other man in the
northwest. At the fair he has 100 en-
tries which include Angus cattle, Nor
man horses, Shetland ponies, Angora
goats, Duroc Jersey, Hampshire and
Belted hogs. peacocks, guinea pigs, pig
cons. rabbits, squirrels, foxes, wolves,
chickens, geese, ducks, and a number
of others. Some idea of the enormous
size of his exhibit may be gathered
from the fact that at the state fair at
Fargo he had every exhibit in the
poultry department except twelve. He
is not so lucky here, and because of
the large number of other exhibitors
compelled him to double up many of
his coops. He has herd of IS Alb
erdeen Angus cattle-those dual ami
mails that furnish abundance of milk
as we'll as beef. Mr.. White has brought
his herd up to the very best point of
perfection and he has a number of an
iamls which would stand among the
competitors at such a gathering as the
Chicago stock show.
In the swine department he has some
splendid specimens of one of the great
money makers of North Dakota. the
Hampshire hogs are certainly among
the best of this class and the others
are not any behind. The ten pens
which contain his exhibit in this de-
partment show the possibilities of
money making competitor of wheat
even.
One of the novel and at the same
time interesting exhibits is made by
the same exhibitor and consists of for

The management wishes it particu-
larly understood and emphasized that
the price of admission after supper
is Is cents-a fact that a great many
people seem to have misunderstood.
One of the greatest freaks on ex-
hibition on the midway is c. Connor
the man with the arms and hands of
a woman, and the wishbone of q
turkey. He has both the ordinary
knee, and another sharply-pointed one
little lower on his lower extremities
that resembles second edition. Mr..
Conner is we'll read and intelligent
man, and is interesting to meet and
converse with.
The Cash Carnival shows are far
above the average run Of this class of
entertainments, and the fair manage
ment was indeed lucky in securing its
attractions. When the original con-
tracts were entered into, it was
planned to place some of the shows on
the streets of East Crank Forks, but
a change was made and the entire
array Of freaks and curiosities are now
on the midway.
Colonel Pelissiers Wild West show
is attracting considerable attention
on the grounds. This show occupies
large site and as Colonel Pelissier
was reared among the bad men of the
bad lands, he has picked up the best
talent available and gives a show
worthy of attention.
Some Of the freaks and sideshows
of the Cash Carnival company are of
high class for this sort of an enter
tainment, and among those worthy of
special mention. are the small man and
the man with the breast of turkey"
The little man, Mr.. Charles Gantz, is
advertised as the smallest, funniest
and most cutest man on earth. The

TOILERS OUTCLASSED AUBURN sCRUBs EASILY DEFEAT zn WE'rUMPkA ELEVEN. Tech Boys Rain Up and Down and All Around Agricultural School
 Team at Athletic
 Park.

The Auburn scrubs ran up and down the football field at Athletic Park yes- terday afternoon, while 100 or more spectators and the football represent atives of the Agricultural Scnoot at Wetumpka looked on.
 The score was 42 to 0. It could have been more if Auburn had so desired. In the second half, the men or Lne .a Aiao been used for. two months as puncn- Ing bag for the Varsity eleven, mere iy toyed with the sturdy tillers of the fH Eimore County Court House.
 There was no comparison in the suuads Weight was a little In the ta- vor of the Wetumpka bunch. but that was ali. In scientific football, the We tumpka boys were ignorant. They played high. they tackled high. when they tackled at all, and were utterly perplexed when the Auburn squad pull ed off 8 fooling formation.
 In the first three or four minutes of play 1t seemed as if Wetumpka really had the best of it. They received the perior weight and the ability of Howell to buck a line they carried the ball to Auburn's twenty-yard line, only to lose it on downs.

 There were two ugly features of the game. Brewer, right tackle on Au-. burn, slugged a Wetumpka player, while Stevens, Wetumpkas quarter back, chose to trip Lacey when he could not have missed a clean tackle.
 The Auburn squad showed some clev- erness but not enough weight to make many of the men have possibilities for Varsity material next year. The We- tumpka bunch showed great need of comretent coaching.
 The lineups were as follows:
 Wetumpka-Gill right end; Thrash CT. right tackle; Walkley and Martin, right guard; Thornhill, centre; Strock, left guard; Cain, left tackle; Pittman, left end; Stevens, quarterback; Howell and Thrasher, fullback: Thornhill, right half; D. Howell, left half.
