sent Central high spe of theirs.
The movement isan international
one for the purpose of making the
school children of the various coun

The portfolio received from Cze-

seemed strange that girls 50 Young

Although the construction valua-
ton for the permits issued during
the month is below that of month
ago and also for April, 1926, there
were no permits issued for con
struction of large buildings, which
accounts for the drop. The repair
work and dwelling costs is heavier
for April than for last month or for

RURAL SCHOOLS OF COUNTY SHOW

That the boys and girls of the

are progressing beyond the narrow
old fashioned limits of the "three
RS" and are undertaking and
completing creative work to chaI-
Ienge the efforts of their brothers

LIVESTOCK and
AGRICULTURE in
FAIR ATTRACT
Farm and Range Products
OF County Make At
tractive Exhibits.

Marked as is every department OF
the fair this year, with a larger va
riety of exhibits than ever before, the
livestock attracted as much attention
among the first day crowds as did any
part of the exhibition.
While in years past cattle have been
almost the only thing exhibited in the
livestock department., this year there
are not only a fine lot of cattle, but
hogs and goats as well. Heads of the
livestock department were very much
pleased yesterday by this addition Of
variety to the exhibit.
Willard Evans exhibited four hogs
and six baby pigs. They were all
Chester Whites and looked as if they
would all be ribbon winners. The
sow that has the six baby pigs is a
very fine large animal and was the
center of attraction, along with her
litter, in this part of the fair grounds.
B. A. Packard, pioneer breeder Of
blooded beef cattle in this district has
seven head of stock on exhibit. 1t is
to say that it ernbodies most OF the
ideals of the cattle business.
The Whitehead herd is well repre-
sented with number of pens of fine,
heavy baby beef. Whitehead brought
nine of his finest to the stock pens
and they too, look as if they would be
ribbon winners.
Owing to the rush among the judges
the stock show will not be judged
until o'clock this morning. This,
in many respects, is a good thing as
it gives the exhibits time to become
accustomed to their new quarters be-
fore they are worked over.
Tuck Potter is exhibiting one calf.
1t is supposed to be calf, although
it is as large as many grade COW
could be. 1t is a beauty and Tuck did
not bring any of the rest of his herd
because he felt that this one exhibit
would bring him all the ribbons he
wants.
w. S. Mcdonald is exhibiting a
freak steer. This steer has a very
large well developed head with fine
pair of curved horns, but his body
and legs are out of proportion, the
legs being not more than a foot in
length so that the animal looks like
carton picture of steer instead OF
living animal.
In unloading the freak steer yester-
day morning the animal, being a pet
and very stubborn, refused to walk
down the chute from the truck and
had to be dragged down. In doing SO
one of his legs was strained and he
limps when walking about his pen
His owner informed The Dispatch that
he has a very good walk ordinarily
and that the limping has nothing to do
