NO. ANDOVER
LOCAL. FAIR
DRAWING CARD

When we think of little commune
ty located a considerable distance
from railroad or post-office that is
able to put on community fair of
the caliber that was shown October
18th, we most readily see that there
is good number of willing hearts
and hands to make it possible.
They do nothing that is impossible
for any other community to do yet
none in Wisconsin are able to show
like interest. We have many High
School Fairs and the like, but in these
they have an organized unit through
the school, making it possible. The
North Andover Fair is purely a COM
munity fair made possible by the
leadership and support in the commun-
ity. We only wish that more people
would attend and be inspired by the
example that is set forth in this COM
munity.
The North Andover Fair was very
well attended, some 1900 people at
tending the fair and the entertain
ment of the evening. 1t is rather hard
to say which of the many exhibits
that were on display was the most at
tractive, however, we believe that the
Boys and Girls Baby show, which
North Andover has been noted for
some time was the leading unit of this
marvellous little fair.
Although not as many calves were
shown this year as other years we be-
lieVe the general quality of the calves
was superior to that of the last two
years, numbering in all seventeen
head of very fine bred and developed
baby beef calves representing the
three breeds of cattle that are COM
mon among our beef breeders of the
county, Shorthorns being the most
prominent with August second.

In the Fat Barrow Class: Jennings
Barr was winner
In the Draft Horse Glasses honors
were divided mostly between VIM.
Forck and Gus Kuenster, VIM. Forck
taking all of the firsts.
The displays IN the community hall
consisted of corn, small grain, pota-
toes and apples of farm produce were
of excellent standard. The school ex-
hibits were very attractive and TAX
ing it all in all the writer feels that
much credit is due the various depart
ments and people who helped to make
this show success.
Of the IL calves that showed in the
baby beef class work Is of them will
go to Madison this week to compete
with other boys and girls of the State
of Wisconsin Last year you will re-
member the Grand Champion steer of
the state was awarded to a member of
this club. Aside from the calves from
the North Andover club there will be
others from Mt. Hope, Anderson Mills
and Fennimore. Anyone who happens
to be in the Capitol City the middle of
this week should not neglect attend
ing the Junior Livestock Show at
which these calves will be shown.
They are a Grant county product as
are their owners. Let us all show in
terest in this and in our county,. B.
