POULTRY SHOW SUCCESS.
Third Annual Show Proves a Record
Breaker i'm Point of Fancy Birds
Exhibited.

The third annual poultry show of
the Winneshiek County Poultry asso-
citation came to close on Friday eve
ming at Marsh's hall The show was
a great success with the big entry OF
500 birds. Although the attendance
was small still the association will
come out a little ahead financially.
Secretary Larson worked hard and
faithfully to make the show sue
cess and his efforts were rewarded
by one of the largest and best dis
plays of fancy birds ever shown in
this part of the state. Chas. V. Keel
er, of Winamack, Ind, was to be the
judge, and few days before the
show was ready to open the officers
received a telegram from him stat
ing it would be impossible for him
to be here, as he was Subponeaed as
witness in federal court at Indian
apolis. They Immediately got in
touch with Glen F. Richards, of lie
Grand, Iowa, one of the youngest and
best licensed poultry judges in the
world. He came and gave the very
best of satisfaction to everybody con-
Cerned The Association expects to
hire him again for next season. On
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
speeches were delivered by Judge
Richards and Atty. E. w. Cutting,
and fine musical programs rendered.
With the great success of the show
this year, next year will see one of
the largest poultry shows in the
state held here. The show we un-
derstand developed quite number
of new chicken fanciers, and great
many sales of fine birds took place.
