More than forty breeders of pure
bred livestock attended meeting at
! the county agents Office in Denison
ON Saturday hast, and every one pres.
ent took a great interest in the pro-
\ ceedings One OF the principal reas-
0ns Cor holding the meeting was to
4 ascertain the number Of breeders who
would take livestock to the Arion fair
this year. A large number of breed
en- agreed to, show one or more ami
I mals at the fair, and thus the live
stock exhibit ought to be of the best.
President CT the Arion Fair c. P. Har-
vey was present at the meeting, and
on the part OF the fair association he
Said that II he could ascertain about
the number OF animals to be exhibit
ed he was sure tie association would
j provide accommodations for the stock.
Pres. Raymond Brown called the
meeting to order and Secretary Quist
read the minutes OF the last meeting
and these were adopted. The treas
urer'S report was also read and the
report showed balance in the mem
hership fund Of $48. There was also
quite : large amount In the directory
fund something like $3.50 having
been collected, .....
z. q. Durham, as chairman Of a
special committee to confer with tie
fair association, reported that his
committee had met and talked with
y the association members and arrange
ments would be made to care for all
exhibits at the fair. On behalf Of the
fair association w. C.. Pollock had
been sent to Harlan to view the stock
buildings at that place and ne report.
4 ed that he did not think it advisable
/. to build a permanent building such as
the Harlan association has, at this
time, but that a temporary building
could be made by remodeling and en-.
larging the present building.
G.. r. Harvey took occasion to tell
the breeders Of the condition of the
fair association, and urged those pres
ent to cooperate with the officers Of
the fair IA making it success, by
exhibiting livestock. Not so much for
any cash prizes that might be gained,
hut for the good Of the breeders and
the association, and all Crawford
county. 5ast ~
The discussion that followed brought
to light the question of moving the
fair to Denison, and after consider
4 able discussion straw vote was tax
en- and thirty-one of the breeders
present voted in favor Of Denison,
while there were five voted for Arion.
AT the time of voting each voter
placed the amount Of stock he would
I take In the association provided the
tair could be moved to Denison. In
round figures the amount was $3.50.
This amount of course could read
1ly be Increased if solicitation were
made among all Of the breeders Of the
county. So much enthusiasm was
manifest that a committee was APP
/ pointed from among the breeders
present to meet with the officers Of
4 the fair association and the DenisOn
4 Commercial club and formulate plans
for the support Of the proposition, and
getting a society together that would
definitely arrange for fair at Deni-
s son. The committee appointed was
Arthur Barrow, Nishnabotny, chair
man;Ed Riddle, Union; r. R. Weed,
Charter Oak; Mr.. Kruger, of Jack
son, and the officers. of the breeders
association. The fact was brought to
light that grounds for agricultural fair
purposes could be purchased by APP
praisement-if the owner of ground
placed too high value as purchase
price, appraisers could be appointed
and the prices made as appraised.
The Crawford County State bank
presented the breeders association
with beautiful silver cup, of great
value. the cup to be awarded the
Y breeder securing the largest number
OF winnings at the Arion fair, and to
become hts personal property after
I two consecutive winnings. The BEAU
tiful cup was on display In the con-
pention hall, and was much admired.
The rules governing the giving OF the
cup did not specify clearly in case of
q tie. and while this subject was un-
der discussion Mr. Naeve, president
Of the Crawford County State bank,
happened into the hall and hearing
the discussion stated that in case of a
tie his bank would present a duplicate
ctip. This announcement brought
firth much applause. The winner of
