The Oskaloosa herald., 1909-12-16

time 10 PICK their specimens LOT en-
try. The greatest factor which inter-
fered with the entry list is that of
the corn which is still in the field.
Secretary F. F. Everett in remarhng
upon the subject stated that in his
neighborhood he and one other man
were the only ones who had finished
getting their corn out. This compels
tho men to stay at home for few
days and necessarily detracts from
the attendance and number of entries
at the Short Course. AS a whole the
exhibits are of excellent quality and
when the arrangements with the Short
| Course are made little more conven-
lent another year and the patrons be-.
come better acquainted with the plan
the entry list will grow accordingly.

(From Wednesdays Daily.l
There is in progress in OsRaloosa
this week the most successful snort
Course" ever conducted by the extern
sion department of the Iowa State col
lege at Ames. Prof. P. G. Holden, OF
worldwide fame, is personally IN
charge of the work and Prof. Bliss, an
expert in the stock juLs nC depart
ment, is conduc..., 49, class work in
the live stock department. Miss
Knowles is creating deep interest in
the domestic science department and
the attendance at her classes is crowd
ing the work. The basement rooms
under tie Christian church, while well
fitted for the demonstrations, are not
large enough to accommodate the hun
dred and twenty-five or fifty ladies
who regularly attend the daily lectures
and demonstrations. The exhibits are
also attracting much attention. The
corn exhibit at the Schee auto garage
| is the largest ever seen at a Mahaska
county show, and the other displays
are OF much merit. All departments
of the enterprise are working together
in great unison and the success is
qualification to all.
Night Attractions.
The Iowa Brigade Band, under the
| leadership of c. l.. Farmhouse, will
give a grand concert in the opera
house this evening as the first evening
attraction on the Short Course. The
proceeds will be donated to the Oska-
loosa Hospital. The band have in
preparation a splendid program and
the concert will be of such a quality
as TO pleasantly surprise all who are
not familiar with the high quality of
the local talented organization.
d. w. King, the distinguished in
ventor OF the road drag which bears
his name, will SPEAK tomorrow after
noon at 2:30 o'clock on the subject OF
good roads His talk will be OF a
strictly practical nature and the gen.
tleman will no doubt be greeted by a
very large audience.
