Filled With County Displays.
Livestock exhibits SURPRISING any
ever before seen at Marshall county
fair feature the three-day exposition
which opened Monday morning and will
close its doors tonight For the first
time in the history Of the fair the stock
barns were unable to hold all Of the
animals brought to the grounds for
showing. Exhibits in other lines were
also Of a high caliber and showed the
result Of interest taken in the work
and by the various organizations which
have put on the exhibits.
With all Of the stalls filled and the
overflow In the stock pavilion the live
stock exhibits were greater than ever
before. The p. Frost Spaulding Farm
exhibits were in the stock pavilion and
constituted high priced Holstein bull,
a number of fine looking heifers and
also several calves. In this same build
Ing was to be found an excellent as
sortment of porkers including boars,
sows with their young and gifts. Duroc
Jerseys were well represented from the
J. Campion farm, Chester Whites from
the Fred Deidrick farm and Poland
Chinas from the r. A. Marshall and
Charles Widner farms. Some fine
stations, mares and colts could be
found among the horses in the outdoor
stalls. Rosendahl & Son and Mr..
Wassamer, Of Argyle, exhibited Bel
gians and J. w. Campion, of Angus,

drew Hansen, Ed. ROsendahl of War
rem, Monroe Bros. of Radium, Carlson

The display this year was one that
the most tlourishing county. fair could
well take pride in. A good display of
fowls was to be seen in the poultry
department and together with the
sheep, completed the livestock exhibits.
Probably one Of the most interesting
buildings on the fair grounds was the
Womans' building with it's varied as
sortment of exhibits. including linens,
paintings, pastry and preserves. The
exhibits We're neatly arrayed and pre-
sentet an interesting view to visitors
entering.
One Of the interesting paintings hung
on the wall Of the building was that
Of portion Of Warren including the
Great Northern park, the depot and a
portion fthe city including the county
court house, by William Windahl. A
crayon portrait Of woman standing
at window was probably the most
imposing piece of work from an artistic
stand point 1t was by Norman Ander-
son and showed. to a marked degree,
the knowledge of the value Of prospec-
tive of the artist.
Flower Exhibit Small
The flower exhibit this year was
small but compared very favorably in
quality to what it lacked in quantity.
A very tempting array Of preserves
filed the center Of the building and
composed an excellent display Of
canned fruits, vegetables and other
native products. :
Breads, pies, cakes, cookies, dough
nuts, biscuits and other dainties Of the
culinary department went to make up
we'll arranged and interesting display
of pastries.
The largest display in the building
| composed that Of the womenfOlk, In
Guiding fancy needle work, quilting,
doilies, crocheting, handkerchiefs,
mittens, socks, aprons, table cloths and
center pieces One Of the most inter-
esting pieces of the exhibit was that of
a nursery quilt upon which was de-
picted the various characters Of the
nursery including Little Bo Peep, Old
Mother Goose and others.
Fine Grain Displayed
| While the early dates in the season
hamper, to large extent, the agricul-
tural exhibit buildings display, there
were sufficient products Of Marshall
county on hand to let the STRANGER
know that the rich soil Of the Red Ri
yer Valley is productive Of exception
ally fine grains, potatoes and acclimated
brands Of corn, besides vegetables,
Strawberries, raspberrfes and currants.
Especially noticeable was the display of
grasses and grains. Some excellent
butter, moulded into various attractive
shapes, and Radium cheese were also
on display In the building. Mr.. W. r.
n Tullar, who was In charge of that de-
partment, had put forth great efforts to
secure good showing and It is to be
hoped that at the next county fair the
big refrigerator may be more complete
" filed with dairy products.
Very attractive displays by way Of
J advertising was also placed In this
building by the e. ]. Taralseth com
pany, Warren Electric company and
r.. N. Gilbert.
