| cine, ana u. y, null, pres EuenL OF tne
State Farm bureau at Madison. Both
chose farming as their subject of dis
course Friday, John j. Jones, COM
missioner of agriculture, addressed the
assembled crowd on farming eco
Monies.
| Saturday Judge H. H. Schmidt, OF
| Manitowoc, was at the fair and spoke
to a very interested audience on the
subject of the courts and their rela-
ton to the public. Judge Schmidt has
| been a municipal judge at Manitowoc
for nearly twenty years and had n
thorough understanding of the sub
ject matter of his talk. He mentioned
many reforms that are necessary to
prevent the wide spread crimes of to-
day and the increase of the number
of criminals. He told of how little eff
feet our present day methods of. deal
| ing with the criminal classes and
their crimes is having towards their
complete eradication. He suggested
| less law making and better under
standing on the part of the court
Judge of the home and school life, as
well as the mental, moral and physi-
ca1 makeup of the criminal before the
bar of justice and that most of these
people needed to have special treat
ment instead OF mass consideration.
| Jadge Schmidt made one especially
strong point of the fact that the i'm
dividual is being neglected in the race
for wealth and until conditions sur
rounding each erring individual are
bettered the cause of crimes investi-
gated and eradicated, our prisons will
continue to be filled with people to
whom confinement will be of no ma
terial benefit. He spoke of the hor-
rible conditions surrounding most OF
the poor farms and the utter neglect
we, as a nation, give the aged who
are dependent.
In other words, he suggested not SO
many laws, nor so much punishment
but a better study of the offender and
his living conditions from youth up
and a hope that by this means state
institutions for offenders as means OF
carrying out punishments that bring
no material good may gradually be-
come a thing of the past
| John Schmidt complimented the fair

dertaking, especially, as it was car
ried on without any aid or backing
from the county and contrasted our
fair very favorably with that at Man
itowoc where all the grounds, build
ings, etc., are county property.
The Holstein association held a very
interesting meeting during the fair
and passed several resolutions of note
One that resolution be passed pro-
hibiting the showing of cattle at the
1924 from tubercular herds; second,
that the area test, that all herds in
Kenosha county be examined for tu-
berculosis be secured this year. Six
ty per cent of the farmers in Kenosha
county will have to sign petition to
this effect. This association is to be-
come affiliated with the State Holstein
association.
Entertainment was provided at all
times. The merry-go-round was big
attraction, the pike stands drew a
constant crowd the American Legion
had an attractive stand of novelties.
Each afternoon pie eating, pop drink
ing contests, races and tugs-of- war
were staged and always were source
of loads of excitement and amusement.
The Stirling trio never failed to draw
a big crowd and their acrobatic stunts
We're well worth watching.
Music for the parades and during
the day on the grounds was furnished
three days by the U. F. H. school band
and Saturday by the Since band of
Kenosha.
Special mention must be smade of
the kindness Of the Keirnen Motor

the car for the prize float of the Sill
verlake schools. Mr. Capelle drove the
machine which was cleverly and ar
tistically decorated as rainbow float
pot of gold and all

these two tents the dining room lin
ems were Numbered, the latter having
complete facilities for washing, iron
ing and mangling.
In the High school building proper
the educational exhibit, fancy work,
cooking and fine arts was housed. The
first named excelled all previous dis
plays and very remarkable exhibits
from the schools of the County were
shown. The fancy work entered was
easily the largest and best ever shown
here. Two spreads each rs years old
were much noticed. One, in linen.
was tied with candle wicking. The
other, was a very intricate design in
home spun yarn. The same lady who
spun the yarn designed the pattern
and made the spread. The cooking
entries and canned fruits were very
attractive and were more numerous
than formerly. In fact the women of
the community outdid their former
efforts in every line and their depart
ments ranked among the very best at
the fair this year.

Were dances at the gymnasium and
Saturday evening the largest crowd
that was ever seated in our gymnasi-
