Dairy Show
REDWOOD FALLS BOY TELLS IN
TERESTING STORY OF TRIP
TO CHICAGO AS GUEST OF
MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL.
Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Min-nee-so-
tah! There Goes Minnesota! The
rest of the states sure knew Min
pesota was down to the Dairy Show
because they were forever hearing our
yell. Just imagine yourself in with
twenty-five of the hveliest boys and
girls from Minnesota, twenty OF whom
were guests of the Minneapolis Jour-
nal
Believe me this is the most profit
able week / ever spent. We left St.
Paul Saturday night and from then
On every minute was spent in some
profitable way. The first thing that
impressed me was how well every
thing was planned before we started.
They met us at our trains Saturday
night, and from then on, on both the
500 Line and the Big Four railroads
everything as arranged so we were
taken care of in the best possible
manner and after we got there ev-
erything was arranged so we, could
have the best possible time by Mr..
Williams. the Journal representative,
Mr.. Erickson, state club leader, and
Mr.. Kittleson, his assistant. In CHI
cago Sunday We went through Lincoln
Park and the Field Museum, two Of
the most notable attractions in Chi
cago. But Sunday night we were
anxious to go on to our destination,
the National Dairy Show and we got
there in time to go to bed that night
Monday morning we woke to get
our first glimpse of the big Dairy
Show, which was rather rainy, but
that made no difference to a happy
bunch like we were. So right after
breakfast guides took us through a
barn full of the greatest disrlay of
dairy cattle and dairy machinery ev-
er seen in the world. Also Monday
morning We were entertained by DIR
Happy orfthe most interesting health
talk ever heard.
Tuesday Minnesota made herself
known in different manner from
yelling. The Holstein Heifer rep
resenting Minnesota's dairy calf club
came out and won first aad champion
in the Holstein class which sure was
an honor to Minnesota. And equal
ly important was the dairy demon
stration given by the two Minnesota
girls which won fifth out of nineteen
teams competing. But the Journal
wasn't satisfied with that, their rep
spent the first day Or SO
just arranging good time for US. And
as result the Minnesota group Were
invited to theatre party as guests
of the Governor. of Indiana. And
the next day aonther big treat was
in store for us but we sure didn't
think so when the Captain of the
police and the Captain Of the detec-
tives of Indianapolis came running up
with nine motor cops and placed us
under arrest, ..but it wasn't so bad
when they gave us our choice Of go
ing to Jail or eating dinner with the
Mayor. We felt quite proud because
we. were the only state who was in
vited as guests of the Mayor and the
Governor. After dinner the Mayor
provided cars to take US on a tour
through indianapolis. On this tour
we found the indianapolis certainly
is an attractive and prosperous city,
On. this tour we passed swo of their
parks and went past twenty eight in
dustrial concerns, and saw their speed
way known all over the United States:
. The last event which Minnesota
took part in was Wednesday night,
called Stunt Night, / was especially
interested to see how this came out
because l was chairman of the conf
.mittee from our state, and you can
imagine how we felt when they an
rounced that Minnesota captured first
prize.
Of all the trips l have taken 1 dom:
believe l ever had one that could COM
pare with this one. We saw ex-
hibits of cattle and machinery at this
show that ordinarily one would have
to travel all over the world to see.
Through. demonstrations we. could
readily see the saving of modern ma
chinery, and the benefits derived from
using purebred stock. Not only this
but through different club demonstra-
tions we saw how other states carried
on their club work and now with all
these new ideas we can go home and
use them to better our own clubs.
/, So if you want to be sure and have
good time there are three things
you must do. First, be a guest OF
the Minneapolis Journal; second, trav.
el over the Big Four and 500 Line
railroads and third, go to Indianapol;s
to the National Dairy Show.
