Washington, Kan, Oct. 14.-The
Washington county stock show bids
fair to be big success. The dates are
the 18th and 18th of October. The
management promises that the fair is
not a theory on reform, but an actual

speed and dare disposition to a clean
exposition of farm, home and school
products.
There will be exhibited horses, cat
tie, hogs, sheep, dogs, poultry and pet
stock, grains and grasses, and fancy
exhibits by the women. Everything
exhibited is in the free list. Lectures
will be delivered on topics of farm
life, stock, school exhibits, and other
entertaining features of the fair The
premiums are liberal. One of the
notable features of the fair will be an
automobile and motorcycle parade,
there being about 500 of the former
and over 100 of the latter owned in
Washington county. There will also
be parades of live stock exhibits and
agricultural floats. The several lee
lures will be delivered by men of state
reputation, including State Superin-
tendent w. D. Ross, Professor Crab
tree of the Agricultural college, DR..
q. G. Shaw and others. J. L. Smith,
superintendent of the Washington
county stock show, will make the fair
a success if push can. If the weather
permits he predicts a great success.

WOLF ENJOYED FEAST.
Valuable Birds DevOured by Pet
Forty Are Missing.

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 14.-Golden
pheasant and several other kinds of
pheasants, which are being raised in
Atchison for commercial purposes by
c. O. McCaskill, went down the
throat of Keno, a pet wolf, when the
animal broke it's moOrings at the home
of n. d. Merritt, its owner, and went
off on a little spree.
The wolf on it's way to the pheas-
ant pen, passed chicken pens by the
dozen and went straight to the pleas
ant abode. A heavy wire fence
proved to be of little use and the wolf
went through with no trouble at all.
The next morning it was found that
about forty of the birds were missing
and Keno was asleep on the ground
nearby.
The owner of the wolf has agreed
to pay for the loss of the fowls.

kind of whitener you use. Ordinary face
powders or talcum will not successfully

is to get ounces of spurmax and mix In
