FOURTH ANNUAL SHOW
Howard County Poultry Association
---Armory, Cresco, Next Week.

The members of the Howard Count,
Poultry Association are sparing neithe,
time nor money to make this show the
largest and best ever held in Cresco.
Already many entries have been re.
ceived and many inquiries for entry
blanks from all over the country. Mr..
ALT. Zeiner, of Waltham, Mimi, breed
er of Buff varieties Of every descrip-
ton, has entered 100 head. This is a
very rare occurrence in exhibits and
one that speaks words of highest praise
for the Association. Our shows are
not held for profit, but in the interests
OF the Poultry Industry, that we may
meet and exchange ideas and exhibit
our products. We know this will prove
interesting and profitable to every
fancy breeder Of poultry, aswell as to
those who take only passing interest
in the great industry. Don't think the
Poultry industry small matter, as the
statistics prove the value of poultry
products to be more than the combined
value of wheat and corn grown; and in
money, more than all the gold and
silver mines of the world produce in a
year.
You will admire, you will learn, you
will profit by this grand display of
poultry and pet stock. Let everybody
fall in line and help the good cause
along, Come one dayl Come every
day! Bring your wife and children to
the most instructive exhibit of domestic
fowls and pet stock ever held in this
section!
