TROPHIES FOR MANY EVENTS
Committee in Charge Of the Big Show
Scheduled for Next Week Declare It
Will Break All Kenosha Records.
Auto Show Record to Be Broken.

One of the most interesting phases
of the Institute program, March 9th,
10th and 18th, will be the discussion
of The County Agricultural Expert,
led by Superintendent of Institutes,
3. L. Luther, Of Madison. Mr..
I4uther's address will appear on the
program on the evening of the ninth,
at the Rhode Opera House. His talk
will be accompanied by colored illus
trations taken from the various
counties in Wisconsin where there is
Ill operation the work of County Elk
perts, and should prove of unusual in
terest to Kenosha city as well as
county residents at this time because
of the requests being made on the
county board for land expert for
Kenosha county. The city resident
should take an interest in this ques-
ton; there is no denying the fact that
the city prospers in proportion to the
advancement made in agriculture
throughout the county, and Kenosha
county certainly can't very well af-
ford to lag behind other progressive
counties IN Wisconsin in this respect.
Citizens of the city of Kenosha are
cordially invited to attend the address
of Mr.. Luther. There will be no
charge for admission.
The farmers institute committee
have again prevailed. on the officials
OF the Chicago North Western Railway
to place a special train service on the
first two days of the institute. This
special service has always been big
help in allowing the farmer to ar
range his visit to Kenosha so that he
may stay over the evening hour, take
il the evening sessions, the auto and
grain show, ETC., and still get back to
his home the same evening. The
special train this year will arrive in
Kenosha at $50 a. m. and leave at
1000 p. m.
An added feature of special inter
est to this years institute program
will be the Baby Show and Contest,
under the direction of the child well
fare committee of the City Club,
working with DR.. J. J. McShane and
the city health department. This
contest is open to all babies of
Kenosha city and county under two
years Of age, and will probably be held
at the NJ. E. Church in connection with
the woman's department of the insti-
tute There are no special restric-
tions to this contest; any healthy
baby is eligible, and from the interest
being shown, Kenosha county's first
baby show promises to be one of real,
live competition. The City Club is
arranging for expert judging, and will
see that the babies are placed in
charge of expert nurses so that there
should be no hesitancy In entering.
Full information as to this feature of
the institute will be given the public
through these columns
The other exhibits Of the institute
are filing in rapidly. With ten low
ing cups, ribbons to winners in each
class, and merchandise prizes to win
ners, the poultry show at the Coliseum
promises to be the largest and best ar
ranged show ever staged in Wiscon-
sin. Already scores Of entries have
been received. Geo. w. Hackett, Of
North Freedom, Wisconsin, will do the
judging of the poultry. Mr.. Hackett
is acknowledged to be the best poul
try show judge in this part of
the country.
The County Grain and Farm Pro-
ducts Show, also to be placed at the
Coliseum, will bring together the
keenest competition ever witnessed
between the farmers of Kenosha
county. Hundreds of specimens of
Germ, barley, rye, potatoes, onions, al
falfa, apples, ETC., will be shown. VIM
Luke of Wheatland, who has been in
charge of the county exhibits at the
state fair for years, will see that the
exhibits are properly arranged and
taken care of. He will have as his
assistants Russell 81. Jones, county
clerk, and John Herzog, county high
way commissioner Of Kenosha.
It is needless to say anything con-
corning the Automobile Show to be
held at the Coliseum, same dates as
the Institute. The success of the
show last year was conceded by many
to be the best small city show in the
