STOCK
and SCHOOL
EXHIBITS

All residents of Northern Michigan
who are interested in registered cattle
and horses should not fail to attend the
Charlevoix County Fair this year as it
will have the finest exhibition of regis
tered animals to be found anywhere
north of the West Michigan Fair. In
addition to owners of registered stock
in Charlevoix County who are with
practically no exception planning on
exhibiting their best animals at the
Fair there will be on exhibition regis
tered stock from Antrim and Emmett
Counties. In the Holstein, Guernsey
and Shorthorn classes there will be
keen competition and the winners OF
the Blue Ribbon in these classes will
have the keen satisfaction OF knowing
that his animal is without doubt the
best animal in the three counties. Many
exhibitors this year are taking SO much
interest in the Fair that they have gone
to considerable expense and trouble to
fit their animals for the purpose OF ex-
hibiting them. The Fair Association
this year is not worrying as to whether
their exhibition buildings will be full
but rather as to whether they will have
room for the animals which will be on
exhibition.
In addition to the animals exhibited,
in connection there will be fine ex-
hibit OF imported horses and OF regis
tered Holstein cattle from the Loeb
Farms. These animals will not be en-
tered in competition and can be seen at
the Loeb building which is now being
built on the Fair grounds. This build
ing will be "a by 90 feet. Will be so
arranged that feeding and care OF the
animals can be done without interfer-
ring with the patrons of the Fair, the
feeding troughs being in the center OF
the building and there. being a walk
clear around the outside OF the build
ing. This building and its exhibit will
be great addition to the Fair grounds
and the exhibit which it will contain
will be well worth seeing
Never in the history of the Charlie
voix County Fair has there been so
much interest in stock and never has
there been such fine exhibit of cattle
and horses as will be seen at the Coun-
ty Fair.
In former years the Charlevoix Coun-
ty Fair has been justly famed for its
wonderful school exhibit. The COM
petition between the schools OF the
county has become so keen that the
old building as good as il was has be-
come entirely inadequate. The Fair
Association realizing that if this de-
partment was to grow as it has done in
the past it must have much larger
building to meet the need for more
room, it has constructed an addition to
the present building which gives 250O
square feet of additional floor room.
One part Of this addition is large hall
capable OF accommodating an audience
of 1000 people. The other addition is a
modern school house equipped with the
latest seats, sanitary toilets and heat
ing and ventilating system. This school
house is lathed and plastered, painted
with the correct tint for school rooms
and in fact is building which is en-
titled in every respect 10 being award
ed the Standard School Plate. The old
building with the new addition makes
the finest educational exhibition build
ing to be found at any Of the County
Fairs in the State Of Michigan. Miss
Stewart who is the superintendent OF
this department has arranged a three
day program to dedicate this building,
which will be found elsewhere in this
