ANNUAL COUNTY FAIR
Opened on Tuesday and Continued Until Friday-Rain
Kept Down the Attendance on Thursday,
the Big Day of the Fair

| Dy the boys from the Mexican border
There were a sufficient number of
curiOs and relics in this display to
| make a first class museum, and it
| would be well for our people to in
terest themselves in getting together
especially relics pertaining to the his
tory OF this section, and arranging a
| room for the same, perhaps in the pub
lie library. Many valuable relics have
already been lost by fire and other
wise, and a start cannot be made too
soon.
On the grounds were many tents,
displaying various wares for the far
mers. Among them were the Nickel
Hardware & Supply Co., farm ma
chinery, furnaces, etc; Roemer &
Thalheim Co., farm machinery; Ed
ward L. Pine, plumbing, etc. About
all Of the retail lumber yards had
good displays, showing their goods,
viz: MOhr Lumber Lumber Co., Build
ers' Lumber & Supply Co., Wisconsin
Box Co., Heinemann-Gorman Lum-

able display of lumber, shingles, roof
ing, etc. The Marathon Motor Co. had
a tent showing the good qualities of
the Ford automobiles. The Overland

Overland machines, and the Saxon Co.
had a tent full of Saxon machines
All these were in charge of competent
men, who told of the various ma
chimes good qualities.
There were also displays of motor
cycles by Val. Ringles and John Fehl.
The Wisconsin Valley Electric com
pany had large display in it's tent.
o. S. Lunde, as in former years,
demonstrated the workings of bees,
and the fact that the bees crawled all
over him by the hundreds and did not
sting him, was a mystery which he
readily explained. He was in a
screened cage with the bees, about six
feet square and seven or eight feet
high.
The ladies of st. James society
served meals in the large pavilion and
the ladies of the Presbyterian society
in tent near the main building, as
formerly.
One of the most interesting places
on the grounds was the tent of the
Wisconsin Live Stock Breeders as
sociation, which showed draft horses
and scrubs; dairy COWS and scrubs;
blooded stock in general and scrub
stock; showing it costs no more to
raise one than the other.
