That the Rev. George w. McDan-

startled his congregation by tender
ing his resignation at the morning
service, does not contemplate taking
up another regular pastorate, but is
preparing to launch an active rclig-
ious campaign along lines Of his own,
is the belief of his friends. 1t is be-
lievcd that Pastor Mcdaniel has for
sometime been working out new
and probably entirely unique religious

self will be the prime organizer. 1t
is suggested that Dr. Mcdaniel may
begin a series of meetings in various

Race to Be a Feature.

TWO DAYS of auto racing will be

Sept. 6, and Saturday, Sept. 9, are
the two days which have been set
aside.
A leading feature will be the Min

igan, Oklahoma, Texas and Missouri
State Fairs, each represented by a
noted driver, are competing in this

Biggest Cattle Show in America
This Year Predicted for the
Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 4
to 9=-AIl Records to Be Broken
in the Swine Show.

INDICATIONS are that the cattle
show at the Minnesota State Fair,
Sept. to 9, will be the largest ex-
position Of its kind in America this
year. Last year the Hamline cattle
show was the largest In the country,
and more entries have been promised
in the last few weeks than were OBJ
tanned year ago.
The splendid crop conditions in the
Northwest, and the greater attention
which is being paid to pure-bred live
stock, are said to be the principal rea-
sons for the interest which is being
taken in the cattle show at the Min
nesota State Fair. Breeders in other
parts Of America are desirous of meet
ing the farmers of the Northwest, to
sell them the pure-bred stock which Is
being bought in such numbers to raise
the standard of livestock breeding In
Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North
and South Dakota.
Records Shattered.
The Swine Show will break all rec
ords this fall, and 1t Is expected that

pen room will be taxed to the limit
to accommodate all the swine which
is coming. The first national show
ever promoted by the American York.
shire Club Is to be held at the Mime
sofa State Fair this year, and the
cream of all American herds will be
exhibited. The Duroc-J ersey and Po-
land China organizations are offering
large futurities and special premiums.
The Chester White and Hampshire as
sociations have put up special prizes
of value. Hundreds Of boys are work
ing hard In the Pig Club contest, and
there will be more entries tn the Pig
Club show than ever before.
Big Draft Show.
The show Of draft horses IL to be
larger than for several years. A num-
Der of breeders that have never visit
ed the Northwest are coming this
year to show their wares to lovers OF
horses. Farmers are being urged to
attend the State Fair and make their
arrangements for any pure-bred mares
and stations they intend to buy. An
effort will be made to present an un-
usual opportunity of studying types
and breeds of horses, so farmers may
be more familiar with the kinds OF
horses which bring the most money on
the market.
As formerly all stock will be judged
at the opening of the State Fair, max
ing a visit to the Fair the first part OF
the week more valuable than one at
the latter part Judging will probably
be over by Thursday, Sept. 7.
