Affair.

The Wapello County Live Stock
show has been organized, the consti-
tuition and bylaws adopted, the com.
mittees appointed and arrangements
started toward the live stock show
which will be held in Ottumwa on Oc-
tober 5, 6 and Z and the Wapello
County Farmers Institute which will
follow Immediately after for three
days. The men who are pushing the
organization expect to have one Of the
largest and best institutes ever held
for the farmers of the county and the
stock show which Is to be a new fea-
ture this year will be a decidedly
popular attraction. This part of the
six days attraction will be held in
Darner's barn on West Second street
and it is being planned to have ever
ing events. The premium list will
soon be out and the committee work
ing on it expect to have an extra good
one this year. There will be classif-
cations on cattle, horses, hogs and
sheep for the show and the judges
will all be Ames experts. 1t was de-
cided that this time of the year would
be the best for the farmers Of the
county as 1t comes in between the fall
wheat planting season and the time
for the corn husking.
The bylaws which have been adopt
ed by the committee and members
state that the association which shall
be known as the Wapello County Live
Stock show, shall have as it's purpose

and a keener competition In the gen.
eral production Of a higher standard
of live stock in Wapello county. The
membership of the association shall
be limited to residents of the county
and no membership fee shall be
charged, it being the hope and aim Of
the association that every citizen of
the county interested in the better
ment of the live stock industry will
consider themselves members of the
organization. The officers of the or
ganization consist of a president, vice
president, secretary, treasurer and the
following committees to be appointed
by the president: board of directors,
