CHICKENS WIN BLUE RIBBONS.
Decorah Exhibitors at Independence
Poultry Show Win Many
Ribbons.

A number of local chicken fanci-
ers sent exhibits of birds to the In
dependence Poultry Show last week,
and among a stiff competition of 9TH
er fancy birds from all over the
country were awarded a number or
first premiums. County Supt. Miller
had an exhibit Of White Wyandottes,
getting 1st, 2nd, and Sd pullet, with
a score of 94A on first pullet. He
also got End and 5th hen, with
score of 94A and 92% respectively.
Mr.. Miller has reasons to feel proud
over the showing his chickens made.
He had no intention of sending an
exhibit until the last minute, and
then just picked them out at ran
dom in his flock, without any wash
ing or preparation whatever, and
sent them down. The scores and
ribbons he received illustrates the
fact that he must have some mighty
fine Wyandottes.
John Miller was another exhibi-
tor of, single comb Rhode Island
Reds. He won first pullet and 9TH
pen. The pullet scored SO, and the
pen 1873. Mr. Miller's chickens are
beauties, and he has fine lot of
them.
Martin Christopher got 4th high
est scoring pen on his handsome
Rhode Island Reds.
Ed Hanson and Z. j. Stoddard
showed Barred Plymouth Rocks, get
ting I'd pullet, score SO "a, Sd cock
rel, score SS 1-3, and Sd pen. Thus
all three different strains of chick
ems won premiums. Stoddard's and
Hanson's chickens are fine large
birds and make a great showing.
Preparations Tor the local poultry
show to be held in Decorah az
Marshs hall on Jan 5th to 9th, are
going on every day. The success Of
the show last year makes certain an
even greater success for the coming
show, for the local committee nave
redoubled their efforts and with the
experience already gained and the
advertising accruing from last years
show this coming exhibit promises
to be a record breaker. Exhibitors
will be here from all over the coun
try. Secretary Len Larson received
a letter from Fred r. Goddard, OF
Nekoosa, Wis, requesting a premium
list, and stated he expected to be in
Decorah with an exhibit for the next
show. Mr.. Goddard, since leaving
Decorah has entered the chicken
business on a large scale, and has
been exhibiting all over the country
This week he has eight birds at
Buffalo, n Y, and next week will
have 27 at La Crosse. He will also
be at the Chicago and Winona shows
the following week. We presume
Fred will come to Decorah with a
great exhibit, to show his old De-
corah friends what really good chic
kens they raise in Wisconsin.

President Wilson eYIarduN ln an address mad, his ll"W~ on the cX- lsting conditions in Mexico perfectly lear. He said that nowhere can | government endure which is stained with blood or supported by any thing but the c"nscn, of th" gov was expressing his views u rr- gard to Mexico although hr did not specificalh mention any cuun- try. He could have had no other thought iu mind but Mexico and all people who bolir,. m 4 repub1ic as the proper form If r"r'rnmcnt mus; agree with Mr. Whsoi.

WILL DEAL DIRECT
WITH THE FARMERS

Washington, August 2s.-(Special)
A novel attempt to reduce the cost of
living by eliminating the middlemen
in meats and green groceries, through
direct dealing with farmers is to be
tried here by concern in which sew
eral office holders under the Taft ad-
ministration are officials
Plans for the movement have been
under way for some time, and its first
actual operation will begin soon.
About 1000 local housewives, many
of them women of standing in social
circles, are associated with the move
ment in a cooperative and advisory ca
pacity.
preliminary survey of the mark ct
conditions In Washington has been
made and the published statistics seem
to place the responsibility for the soar
ing prices upon the middeman
Tabulations of prices taken in all
corners of the capital allege profits
ranging from 100 to 33 per cent These
admittedly are offset by waste and
business costs.
The new movement proposes 10 gath
er provisions from the countrysjde
with fleet of motor trucks and deliver
them to the kitchen doors in sealed
boxes upon orders given the day be-
fore.
The leaders of the movement saw that
they will pay the farmer 20 per cent
more than he now gets and sell direct
to the consumer for 40 per cent less
than they now pay

Extensive Ignorance

Irving Berlin, ragtime composer, who
returned from abroad few days ago,
picked up in Paris a story which the
late Cen Stewart l. Woodford, min
lister to Spain before the Spanish
American war. told during his last visit
in Paris, says the New York World.
A young American who was desirious
of doing Paris thoroughly was mar
dicapped by ignorance of the French
language. He decided to make th'
street corner near his hotel his range
finder.
He went to the corner and carefully
copied the sign on the fence, then callcG
a taxi and showing the chauffeur the
copy of the sign, directed him to drive
him around a while and then return to
that Identical corner.
The chauffeur smiled as the American
stepped in. The taxi sped through 20
end Of streets and stopped finally at a
strange corner. The ride cost S5.
This is funny" thought the Amerl-
can "Guess that driver took rne for a
good thing"
He hailed another taxi, showed the
driver the designation of the corner at
which he wished to alight, and carefully
repeated his orders.
The second chauffeur smiled and away
jumped the taxi. After long spin, as
before, the vehicle halted at another
corner utterly unknown to the Ameri-
can. Five dollars more.
Something funny about this, solilo-
quized the American as he stood there
thinking 1t over. Then he addressed d
passing American:
Excuse me-" he said but will you
please look at the name of the street
corner on this piece of paper and tell
me why 1t is that every time / ask a
taxi driver to set me down there he
smiles, takes me for a good. thing,
drives me all around Paris, finally
dumps me on a strange corner and
soaks me 20 francs?"
