HARVEST FESTIVAL
A GREAT SUCCESS
Large Display of Exhibits of
Excellent Quality.

1t is doubtful if any other town could
have undertaken a venture with an
equally limited amount of preparation
and achieve the generous measure Of
success that was accorded to Wabeno's s
Harvest Festival last Saturday.
The weatherman favored us with an
ideal day anc all the exercises were
held out of doors. The attendance was
very good and nearly all neighboring
towns were well represented.
The aeroplane was the main attrac-
tion and some very good exhibits were
given by Lieut.. Moore of the Green
Bay Aero Club. Wabeno has the hon.
or of being the FIRST town in the county
to have an aeroplane exhibition.
There were goodly number of ex-
hibits covering the whole range of
farm and home products and were Of
excellent quality.
The addresses by Prof. Cooper, Prof.
Alberto and G. F. Comings were along
agricultural and marketing lines and
were very good and timely. County
agent Schmutzer also spoke few min
utes on the uses of INT and how to se-
cure supply.
The Wabeno band furnished music
during the day and we heard many
comment favorably on the music rem
dered.
The dance Friday night and the pie
ture show Saturday night were well
attended and pleased all.
The success of the Festival was due
in large measure to the untiring ef-
forts of the committee and they de-
serve much credit for their work.

ERADICATION OF

FARMERS PROTEST AGAINST
KEEPING UP WORK OF DIP
PING DURING WINTER Wealth
Err, COMMISSIONERS ARE TOLL.

Postponement Of the lifting of fed
eral quarantine on ''ticky" cattle in
Escambia county and the establishment
of an open market to the outside
world by the first of the year may
grow out of the complaint of farmers
of the district who claim that dipping
in cold weather Injuries their stock.
December 1 is the date set for the
completion of dipping, but If the pres
ent plan carries it will be next sum-
mer or fall before the quarantine is
lifted.
A resolution proposing that at the
end of the fourteen clippings, pre-
scribed by law, no more cattle be given
the healing bath, was offered by Com
missioner Candy, at the weekly meet
ing of the board of county commits
sioners Saturday. The resolution was
given no second, and the board con-
sidered it advisable to look further
into the matter before taking vote.
Mr.. Candy said that the sentiment
among farmers that dipping should be
delayed was unanimous, and that cat
tie owners favored waiting until spring
for further baths as soon as the legal
dippings were completed.
1t is the intention of cattle owners
to ask for the cooperation of the state
livestock sanitary board in delaying
dipping.
w. A. Shelby appeared before the
board to protest againstthe further
dipping when cooler weather sets in.
