WORK COUNTY COM SHOW

| York County Live Stock association
was held in Yorkville on Wednesday
and Thursday, and the town was alive
on both days with people from town
and country, representing every sec
| tion Of the county, with many OF ad-
joining counties and distant parts of
| the state.
| The show, from a general view, was
very simple affair. The COW depart
ment included about sixty animals of
various breeds in stalls and tied to
| stables ranged around big barn.
| And the dairy products department in
cluded sixty or seventy pounds Of but
| ter, and sundry vessels of whole milk,
cream and buttermilk arranged so as
to facilitate careful and critical in
spection. From the sight seeing stand
point that was all.
There were no "thrillers" connected
with the show, no red lemonade, no
popcorn, no pindars, nothing in the
| shape Of an outside attraction except
the music of the Yorkville Cornet band
which was provided simply for the
pleasure and entertainment Of all WIS.,
| itors and free of cost to anybody ex-
cept the contributors to the common
fund by means of which all other ex-
penses were met.
But the people came in large num-
|
learn. Those who understood soon be-
came interested in the exhibits on
their respective merits, and those who
did not understand became interested
| in the information that was impaired
by others. They compared notes, en-
| tered fully into the spirit of the whole
thing, were pleased and some became
enthusiastic. OF course, there were
many who refused to pay ten cents
to see a lot of cows and there were
others who did not hesitate to go in a
second time.
| Small children were admitted free,
and some who were rot entitled to
do so were allowed to pass in rather
than have any unpleasantness over 80
small a matter. There are always
some such. But not counting those
who managed one way or another to get
into the show without paying, during
the two days Of the show the door
keepers accounted for $50 paid admis-
sions.
