Grinnell, Dec 2S.-The annual poui-
try show of the Grinnell Poultry AS
ISOLATION started out well yesterday
with over 100 birds entered before 5
o'clock in the morning. Entries were
coming in all day and so continue to-
day. 1t is estimated that there will
be 600 or more entries OF fowls. There
will also be a good display of pigeons.
But very little attention will be paid
to pet stock of any kind, the chicken
industry overshadowing all else by far
in financial importance to the individ-
uai, the state and the country at large.
Secretary Shaw is as busy as a bee
and predicts there will be at least twice
as many entries this year as there
were last year. The birds come from
every part of the state and from other
states as well. The northwest district
OF the Buff Plymouth Rock Club ter
ritory is represented here in their an
nual meeting and the state meet of the
White Wyandtte Club is now in session
here. There are beautiful and costly
gold medals to be won in these or
CARNATIONS and golden ribbons and
other medals galore. Mr.. Dagle, OF
Richland, began the judging this morn :

finish tomorrow afternoon. Admission.
to the fine exhibit is free and the citi-
Zens OF Grinnell and the surrounding
country are showing their appreciation
OF the privilege thus accorded them.
