Our commerciaIized Christmas.

Christmas is the decoration day Of
commercial age. Then, as on no
other day, we face with compassion
those who have fallen in our battles
for wealth. For a moment we think
of the thousands of children who have
no share in that easy life we give our
children, and must find the seasons
JOY in the charity dinner. Along with
the barter to which we have debased
our giving within our circle of &C
quaintances, we play at extending the
spirit of the day to those who are
the pawns of OUR industrial game. The
Salvation army lass, standing cold and
numb on the street corner, collecting
funds for Christmas baskets for the
poor, reminds us of the wreckage left
In the wake of our prosperity. We
give a tritie to help the poor temper
the bitterness of the year with a
couple Of hours good eating.

Erected First of Week-Add Spot
ted Poland Chinas to List.

Following the purchase Of eight
acres of land south Of the present
fair grounds from the Bradbury and
Vail estates. the executive committee
of the Marshall County Fair Associa-
ton. has decided to use part CT the
land this year, for the baby beef eX-
hibit, the boys pig show and addi-
tional pens for swine. 1t was thought
that the tractors and heavy machin-
cry would be exhibited In Ire ad-
dition, but G. II. Kembler, supcrin-
tendent Of machinery, is undecided
whether to show this department
there or in the infield. The latter
place has been used in previous
years.
The addition of land to the fair
grounds. necessitates that the fence
be changed in order to enclose the
entire grounds. Work was begun to-
day tearing down the south fence,
and build the new one along the
Chicago Great Western right-of-
way. and along the switch tracks, 20
enclose Boone street that recently
was vacated by the city council.
Big Baby Beef Exhibit.
The tent to house the baby beef
exhibit this year will be 92x15O fcet,
and will be large enough to take care
of the seventy-seven baby beeves
that are being fed and made ready
for the exhibit. The tent for the boys
pig show will take care of twenty
two filters, of four pigs each.
One Of the features of the evening
shows this year, will be the live stock

This parade formerly has been in the
afternoon. Lights will be strung
above the track in front of the
amphitheater as far as the entrance
gate.
Many Will Make Entries.
Many requests have been coming
in from all over the state for pre-
MUM lists and entry tags. A new
class Of hogs has been added to the
list. These are spotted Poland Chinas,
and the call has been SO large for a
class of them. that they have been
added to the regular list. This breed
is being raised extensively in Iowa,
and many in the county are breeding
them, more experimentally than for
any other reason.
The grounds will be put in good
shape before the opening day, and if
concessions are too numerous for the
original grounds they will be allowed
to go to the added tract. Race en-
tries are not expected much before
the closing day of entries. 1t has be-
come customary for track men not to
enter a horse at another fair, until
all races at the present one are run.
