animals. This was particularly notice
able in the swine department. where
lately the Durocs have had things all
their own way. but this year there
were to be seen several different
strains and the Poland Chiuas and
Bcrkshircs were out in force TO COM
pete for supremacy with the red hogs.
The agricultural displays were the
wonder and admiration OF our eastern
visitors. That such variety of pro-
ducts OF such superior excellence
could be raised in country where it
don't rain was a marvel. Almost cv-

made an exhibit that did the com
munity immense credit.
\ crowning glory OF the exhibition
was the fruit display. which it had
been expected would not be up to its
usual standard this year because Of
the hail and other troubles with which
orchardists had to contend.
Honey is essentially 4 product of
our valley, and this years exhibit OF
concentrated sweetness was as varied
and excellent as usual.
The poultry show was a most con-
spicuous feature OF the fair this year.
1t had its pens OF chickens, turkeys,
ducks and geese. and even the Bel
gian hare and fecrnd rabbit were
housed under the poultry roof.
The fine arts and liberal arts now
almost fill the building the associa-
ton has specially provided for them.
This part OF the exhibition is attract
ing as much attention as any display,
and the paintings, typography, brass
work, photography, china ware, etc,
is certainly worthy OF more than
passing glance.
In the nccdlework department there
were good specimens OF this art. The
patchwork quilts were in evidence, as
always. Among the artistic things
were some fine displays OF Batteu-
burg and point lace. All day long,
and each day OF the fair SO far-aud
it will also be the case today-ad-
miring crowds moved through the
fine arts and other buildings, horticul-
tural and agricultural halls and among
the we'll filed stock pens and stalls.
Those who were here Tor the FIRST

Cubs Take Fair Game
LEAGUE STANDING

The Cubs and the Milkmen battled for
four hours last Sunday afternoon on
the local lot and when hostilities ceased
each team had a game.
In the first encounter the visitors
came from behind in the ninth inning
and made two runs through two hits and
several costly battery errors, winning
out by score of to 4.
The locals had led from the start and
would probably have won in the ninth
but for a circus catch by Hines.
With Whelan on third and Smith on
second Hoover hit low liner toward
left that looked good to bring in both
runners, but Hines made a dive through
space and came up with the ball, doub-
ling Smith off second. Jackson pitched
Il strong game and lost through poor
support and faulty base running by his
team mates.

Second Game
The second game started in a way that
looked bad for the locals and the visit
ors obtained a three run lead through
errors and several lucky hits that took
bad bounds away from the infelders.
In the fifth, however, the Cubs
knocked out Gordon for the second time
and secured five runs, which gave them
lead sufficient to win. Dunlap pitch
ed nice ball till the ninth, when he re-
tired after allowing two hits and Jack
son came to the rescue and the next
three hitters were helpless, two tanning

In this frame the Cubs came up for
their final effort with the visitors one
run in the lead.

fed that it was impossible for the

Atty. Gen. Barker Of Missouri, who

following telegram TO Judge McPher-

While my hands are lied by in

are filing petitions for removal of my
state cases to the federal court. Was
it your intention TO tie my hands and
