THE MUSIC
Rev. HOlum Is surely to be congrat-
ulated on the fine band he has worked
up at Westby. Fair visitors were de-
lighted with their music on Thursday
Viroqua band showed up very cred
itably Wednesday, but playing in win
ter temperature is a most unpleasant
and disheartening job.
LaFarge band came over Friday be-
ing led by our director, o. G. Brown
a crushing sorrow coming to their di-
rector, Halle Green, in the tragic
death of his little son. They did splen-
didly, and indeed all the bands contri-
buted much ITO the enjoyment of the
occasion.
THE AEROPLANE
Thirty-eight people screwed up suf-
ficient courage and cash to ride in the
plane and view Viroqua and vicinity
from the air. They were: Carl H.
Christensen, Margaret Schaub, Thor
val Johnson, Paul K Finnde, L. Somer-
field, Clifford Dewitt, A. Silbaugh, F.
c. Skundby, Ole A. Olson, Lewis Nell
son, Spencer Kaivestran, Martin w.
Setter, R. P. Larson, Earl Quale, j.
A. Skundby, Thorwald Hagen, Obert
Houge, Emil Holstad, Martin Ander-
son, Ole Wang, Stanley Jacobson, A.
L. Egeness, Peter NJ. HoOverson, N.
o. Holt, Florence Madden, Paul Lest
er, E. Christensen, Virgil Grubb, Ing
val Eggen, Christ Hagen, Jens Fur
aas, Arthur Reed, George Dahl, Law
renee Lincoln.
Some of the signatures defed our
efforts to make them out, and it quite
evident that the anticipation of a ride
with nothing underneath but thin air
is anything but conducive to steady
nerves.
Lieutenant Dave Gladish. the pilot.
tells us that his present plane is an
American Curtis j. n D., weighing
1850 pounds, 300 heavier than the blue
plane which fell with him last year
while returning home from Vernon's
fair. He does not know the cause of
the accident, but says he knows of
three more of the Canadian Curtis
planes which fell in the same manner.
Gladish ownes half the plane and is To-
Gated in Michigan at South Haven.
We hope to see him here next year.
As always, the plane was the center
of interest and contributed much to
the success of the fair.
THE POULTRY EXHIBIT
Sure some fine feathers in that big
show. Knower Bros. had 125 birds
F. II. Graves 81, Geo. Griffin 80, Ivan
Groves 20. Gordon Bennett exhibited
some very rare Polish crested and
bearded birds. The excellent breeding
of the birds throughout attracted much
favorable comment.
THE HORSE SHOW
Forty-one horses were exhibited
a waning show is Old Dobbin. But the
quality was delightfully."- choice Ex-

son, Chas Slack, Jr., James Dennis,

land ponies.
THE CATTLE SHOW
No one could look upon that splendid
show Of beautiful pure bred cattle with
out 9 secret feeling that old Vernon
is indeed the garden spot of creation,
and a just pride in claiming citizen
ship within its borders. The old worn
phrase larger and better than ever"
took on new meaning and force this
year.
Forty-nine head of beautiful sleek
Jerseys were shown Melvin Stafslien

V. German 2.
Henry Huschka and Willard Getter
showed II Shorthorns each; H. Hovde,
Michael Stoehr and G.Theige one each.
Such a precedent was established in
selecting the grand champion of both
sexes in the cattle that we cannot re-
frain from mentioning it. c. J. Smith
bought from the Linbrook farm at
scarborough, Massachusetts, a six
months old Guernsey bull calf some
weeks ago. The price he paid ran in
to four figures we understand. The
little fellow drew the grand champion
ship. Likewise, Dave Engler received
the same honor on heifer of the same
age which was among the bunch of
Guernseys which J. ID. Beck and Coun-
~ Agent Graf brought in from the
east. We are informed the grand
championship has never been awarded
to animals so young.
THE HOG SHOW
Vernon's swine breeders are a poppy
bunch and the fine animals entered
gave the judges occasion for much err
nest thought in the placing of ribbons.
