MOQUAH GUERNSEY ASSOCI-
ALTON HOLLIS FAIR AND SALE


The. Community livestock Show
held by Moquah Guernsey Associ-
alton last week, was great success.
There were some over one hundred
Purebred and Highgrade Guernseys
shown al the Fair, at which very
liberal prizes were offered. This
Fair was made possible and en-
couraged by the assistance given,
by the County Agricultural Agent
through an action of the County
Board, by appropriating a certain
sum of money in adding to the prizes
awarded at this Fair.
Mr.. j. M. Hill, Sec'y. of the State
Guernsey Breeders Association,
who has long been noted for his good
work in importing and breeding
Guernsey cattle, judged the cattle at
the Fair. Mr.. Hill stated, after the
cattle were all judged, that the far
mers of Moquah community, had GER
ainly been making great strides in
breeding up the Guernsey cattle in
the past four years.
Mr.. Jerry Novak, And. Johanik, and
Mr.. Schutt, need to be compliment
ed on the fine success they had in ar
ranging for this show. The attend
ance was $50 which was great for
this community. This is one of the
eight Community Fairs which Coun-
| ty Agent, v. E. Brubaker has organ
lied and planned to be held this fall
in Bayfield, County.
1t was interesting to note the keen
competition which was shown at the
Fair, in the grade classes of cattle
that were exhibited, and it took Mr.
Hill some little time to pick out the
best cattle from the large entrance in
this class. Mr.. Tom Opatik took the
Sweepstake Grade cow, which was
two years old and over in all classes
This man also needs to be compli-
mented on the good work he is doing
on breeding up good herd of Guern.
sey cattle. Immediately after din
lner there was sold at auction thirty
two head of high-grade Guernsey
females. Due to the lack of adver-
tising at this sale the prices which
were paid for these cattle, were not
on the average high enough as many
of these cows were worth $3.50 and
more.

RENEARSALS FOR CHEQUAM-
ECON PAGEANT AT ASHLAND
ARE IN FULL SWING.

With less than week before the
date of the big pageant at Ashland,
many who are taking part are busy
rehearsing.
One of the feature scenes of the
pageant, which is something new in
Ipageants, will be lumberjack
scene. Rice Lake had scene of this
type in. their pageant this year,
which proved very interesting. AS
the lumberjack IS vanishing type,
and at one time typical of this re-
gion, it is fitting that this scene
should be enacted in the country
where he once held sway.
e Another scene is an Indian group
representing an Indian romance with
the burning at the stake and thrill
ing rescue
All preparations possible are being
made for an interesting and enter
tanning time. Don't let yourself
have the eleventh hour regret when
the pageant is all over. The biggest
outdoor spectacle ever presented in
this section of the country is some
thing everyone should see. Come to
the Chequamegon Pageant at Ash
land. and see the way your ancestors
once dressed and acted and enter
tanned themselves. See the real
Indian scenes staged by the Odanah
Indians Feel the thrill of the over
tne top scene in the face of brilliant
barrage FIRE and bursting sky-rock-
cts. Be ready to gasp with delight
at the marvellous colored lighting
and the beautiful rhythmic dancing,
which will be accompanied by the
famous Ironwood band, playing
beautiful music arranged especially
for this great festival.
Special trains will leave Ashland

The wool season is very slow open
ing up in this section of the country
on account of the late, cold spring, ac-
cording to Audrain sheep feeders.
The shearing is usually finished by
this time of the year but now the
work has just started, thus making
the placing of wool on the market here
about a month later than is custom
airy.
Some few farmers have sheared and
have brought their wool to market
getting in Mexico fifty cents for the
medium weight and sixty cents for the
fine quality. 1t is thought that later
on, when the eason is we'll opened,
the price may go as high as it did
last year when it reached sixty-five
cents a pound.
According to E. G. Cant, a sheer
feeder OIL tnree miles souIn VI HeAlCo
the late cool season has not only made
the marketing of the wool late, but
has materially lessened the quality o.
the article. 1t takes warm weather tt
produce good wool, he says. Unless th'
season is warm the oil does not prop
erly premeate the fibre of the woo
and thus it is course. That is tn
fault to be found with it this year.
