West Kenosha Fair.
Preparations for the big West Ke-
nosha County Fair are progressing
nicely at the present time. Secretary
| R. T. Button has sent the premium
list to press, and final corres6itons will
| be made the. fore part of this week.
1t is expected that the premium list
will be in the hands of the public by
| the latter part of this week.
The committee in charge of speak
ers of which R. S. Ihlenfeldt is chair
man, is busy getting in touch with
/; men who are capable, and men who
are in sympathy with rural life and
farm problems. An invitation has been
extended Governor Blaine, and it is
4 expected that Governor Blaine's ac-
eeptanee will be in the hands of the
! Committee shortly. George w. Hull,
state president of the Wisconsin
Farm Bureau Federation, has accepted
an invitation to speak at the fair and
will be one of the big drawing cards
on one of the fair days. Mr.. Hill is
widely known throughout the state as
an honest upright progressive leader.
Work of selecting judges for the
fair has been completed, and exhibit
tors are fortunate in that only capa-.
BILE men with much ring experience
/ have been selected. State leader of
county agents, Joseph Volta, has no
titled us that he would again be with
us to judge the grain, fruits and
/ vegetables. Mr.. Collentine of the
University Of Wisconsin, will be on
hand to judge horses and dairy cat
tie. Superintendent Campion of the
Milwaukee County School of Agricul-
tlre will judge the swine, while
George McKerrow, nationwide sheep
judge, will pin ribbons on the sheep
and beef cattle.
/ As was stated in a previous article,
the premium list has been raised APP
proximately five hundred dollars this
1year. A goodly portion Of the change
comes as a result of special class
4 in the cattle department Last year
4 only two classes were awarded prizes
4 in each of the cattle divisions, while
this year cows two years and under
three will receive prizes, and heifers
one year and under two will also re-
ceive prizes. Farmers having stock
4 should keep this in mind and take ad-
vantage of this special class at
the fair.
Louis Rhodes of Kansasville, has
again been chosen superintendent of
the beef and dairy cattle department
Mr.. Rhodes has received as many if
not more ribbons on cattle fitted by

nosha county. Mr.. Rhodes is thorough
/ ly familiar with all phases of ring
work, and he together with Arthur

FAIR organization met with the oflcerS

week following.
The Kenosha business men were as
sembled at the Anschel Ming restau-
rant and the address given by Presi-

rather to cooperate, and give the
farmers the privilege of competing
/ for prizes offered by the West Keno

by them as we'll. Short addresses
were given by President Luke, Sec
rotary R. T. Button, and Vice Presi-
dent r. E. Ihlenfeldt. Treasurer
