The boys tall hel- lered and Billy's mother cane out again and told him to throw the horrid thing away, so he had to. Susie said Nelly went home and washed her hands seven times with this here powder they use to clean pots with, so I guess she didn't much like the feel of the snake.

THE DAIRY CATTLE CONGRESS 4
INTERNATIONAL BELGIAN
HORSE SHOW

Waterloo, Ia, Aug. % (Special)
Some of the most prominent men in
the agricultural world, including
Secretary of Agriculture Henry G.
Wallace, Sen. w. S. Kenyon from
Iowa and James r. Howard, presi-
dent of the American Farm Bureau
Federation may be seen and heard
at the Dairy Cattle Congress and In
ternational Belgian Horse Show this
year.
Several new features will be struck
in the general program Of these two
livestock expositions which will be
held here September rs to Oct. 2,
this year. Among the innovations will
be special Farm Bureau Day.
According to E. S. Estel, secretary
manager Of the shows, efforts to pro-
cure the services of Pres. Howard,
Secretary Wallacea Sen. Kenyon and
leaders in farm bureau work in Iowa
will be made for the occasion and the
prospects that these men will be
present are rather bright. This will
be the first time in the history of the
Dairy Cattle Congress that such a
day has been held and if successful
the management will make it a regu-
lar feature each year. Il
Gov. N. E. Kendall and his staff
will be honored on Iowa day, as has
been the custom in the past. Special
preparations will be made to make
the 1921 Iowa Day the greatest Of
all and Mr.. Estel had intimated that
several surprises are in store for the
visitors that day.
Waterloo Day will also be celebra-
ted as usual. All the leading business
houses in the city will more than
likely close their doors on this day
and visit the grounds. Special speak
ers will be provided for this day as
well as the other two special days.
While it has been definitely decided
to have the above three special days,
Farm Bureau, Iowa and Waterloo
the exact dates have not yet been
decided upon. Mr. Estel will know
definitely within the next few days,
whether or not the men under con-
sideration for these days will be able
to attend the show. ~
