The fifth National Dairy Show will
be held in the Chicago Coliseum,
Oct. 90 to 80, instead of in Milwau-
kee, as previously announced.
The show held in Milwaukee last
year was financial success, and this
fact alone caused majority of the
board of directors to favor that city
for this years show, in spite of objec-
lions which have been discovered to
be more serious than was contemplate
ed when the vote on location was first
taken.
The Milwaukee people were notified
that their city had been selected for
this years show, and the Auditorium
officials were asked to submit the
contract. This they have not done
after more than six weeks. No inter-
est or enthusiasm has been evidenced
by the Milwaukee business men. This
fact alone is sufficient reason for not
holding another show In Milwaukee,
as it is absolutely impossible to make
it success where the hearty co-opera-
tion of the business interests of the
city is not Forthcoming. In addition
to this, the Auitorium at Milwaukee
is not a thoroughly satisfactory build
ing in which to hold the show. This
is particularly true of the basement
where the cattle we're housed. Many
complaints have come from exhibitors
on this score. Serious complaints
have also been made regarding hotel
Accommodations afforded visitors last
year, and the rates charged. A large
number of exhibitors have also said
that their interests we're better served
at the preceding shows in Chicago
than at one held the last year in Mil
Waukee. 1t is safe to say that Chi
cago has always been regarded by
majority of those interested 8 the
best location, and the reason the show
was taken elsewhere was the hereto
fore lack of interest taken in the
show by the different business mems
organizations in Chicago. 1t was
always apparent that without their
cooperation the show could not pros
per. What the show has heretofore

arrested for creating disturbance

Something Of . record was estah-

was placed in the hands of officer

LEFT MORE THAN THE ASH
Consumer Who Was Wise Found Out

Two barrels of sugar had arrived at

and they were standing in the kitchen

lowing his custom of testing edibles
before they are cooked he submitted
some of the sugar to a familiar proc
ess. At once strange odOr filled the
room and floated through the house.
Henry" exclaimed his wife, lean
ing over the railing on the second
floor, what's the matter now?"
why, Martha?"
Something seems to be burning
downstairs. Is anything on fre?"
"Oh, I'm only testing the sugar.
You see a simple was to find out If
it is pure is to burn it. Pure sugar
will be entirely consumed, but if the
product has been adulterated an ash
will remain"
This aroused the wife's curiosity.
What happened to our sugar when
you set it on fire." she inquired
1T not only left an ash, but also

rubber may have got into the barrels
