4 Poultry Display.
One of the best exhibits Of poultry
ever seen in these parts is to be
found at the fair. From the pink
| eyed rabbit to the squealing guinea
fowl. the display is complete, and
while not imposing in the number OF
exhibits, the variety and quality OF
! the birds are very good. The display
of young fowl is especially good and
suggests marked Improvement in
the poultry raising in this section.
! The poultry show is we'll arranged,
and the beads of that department de-
serve great deal of credit for the
important part which they have
played in producing such an at
tractive display. 1t may be of further
interest to poultry raisers to note
that the display of chickens is far
/ better than that of the ducks, geese
and turkeys, and since the exhibits
are not all in at the present time it
might be well to urge the local poul-
try enthusiasts to bring the standard
|
the chickens.
i The Art Show.
| amateurish display. The collection
contains many interesting and un-
usual features.
! Among the oil paintings is a large,
| life-1iSe portrait of an Indian, the
work of q local artist. This morning
an Indian squaw posed before the pic
ture and scanned it critically. That's
my cousin, but it don't look like him.
she remarked.
This is only one of the pictures that
might be of interest to the people of
this community. The university ex-
| hibit probably attracted the most at
tention. The oil paintings and char
coal drawings of Nat Little excited
much admiration. Mr.. Little is n
senior in the university and a holder
of an art fellowship. His portrait of
| Professor Scheuch has received favor
able comment
I DIR. Elrod has on exhibit many of
| his beautiful transparencies, scenes
of the university and it's activities,
| and in different parts of the booth
are specimens of the work of the for
estry department, the, school of
| pharmacy and the department of H.
| lustration.
The skilled and talented workers of
the northwestern part of the state
have contributed splendid examples
OF pastels, basketry, handicraft and
china painting.
Fancy Work.
Unusually attractive and diversified
is the fancy work exhibit. There is
work of all kinds, French embroidery,
crocheting, patchwork, tatting, drawn
work, cross stitch, and each makes a
I remarkable showing.
One of the most noticeable collec-
tions is one consisting of sofa pill
low, portieres, and picture, done in
Norwegian embroidery.
All of the crocheting is very good,
| and especially the bedspreads. One,
done with ecru thread in the wind
mill" pattern, is unusually pretty.
Another spread, of white linen with
French embroidery, is worthy of men
ton.
Among the crocheted articles is a
dress of handmade fiet, skllfully
and eXquisitely made.
Besides these, there are patch work
| aJ1 IL,
sofa pillows.
Every article is so deserving that it
will be a difficult task Tor the judges
to award the prizes, and the whole
is so artistically arranged that the
booth is one of the most charming OF
the fair.
