tlon for feeding cattle, hogs, & swine. Several varieties of freak ears of corn are on display, also. "The Adams county grain and vegetable exhibit la not as large as usual because of the early date of the fair," Superintendent Busche said this morning. The vegetables nre as large as usual, he said, but not as many kinds are on display as were shown last year. The early date, makes it impossible for the farmers of this county to get their wheat and oats ready for show. The grain that is on display from this county, however, is better than

the average exhibit, and more entries are expected today, Mr. Busche said. An exhibit of a honby extractor, from 'the Brock Store, of this city, is also drawing much attention. Displays of washing machines, electric lighting appliances, cream separators and other farm necessities are being displayed by different firms of tills city and Fort Wayne in the style show tent northeast of the main entrance. • Fine Display of Cattle The display of registered cattle that are exhibited at the barns and tents are considered to be the best shewing that has ever been staged at an Adams county fair. It was necessary to erect a tent to house the several herds of the cattle as there wasn't sufficient room for the whole exhibit in the barns. The cattle were brought here from all parts of the state and the western part of Ohio. Prizes will be awarded to the winners by the selected judges sometime tomorrow. Stump and Etzler, of Convoy, Ohio, have on exhibition seven head of exceptional Red Polled Bovine. These cattle have been prize winners at all of the fairs in the state for the last several years. They have been on show here at every fair for the last three years. Earl France, of Bluffton, Ohio, is exhibiting 14 head of Gallaway cattle, which from the reporter's eye, seem to be sure winners. A great display of Jerseys are shown by the Shady Glen Dairy Co., of Greenville, Ohio. Fred Ahr and Howard Beery, local boys, are displaying four beautiful Holstein heifers and are the onl entries of that breed. B. Miser, of Elkhart, occupies one side of the tent with thirteen prize Jerseys. Seven of these cattle are calves of thoroughbred quality. Many people attended the cattle show this morning and are very anxious to see the outcome of the awards. Many Sheep Here The exhibition of prize sheep is the best that the fair association has ever been able to get, and there are many specimens of the same kind which makes the competition very keen. The exhibitors have on display Merinos, Dorsits, Rambouillet, Cots. Oxfordshire, Shropshire, Southdowns and Lincoln Shivots. C. L. Ross nf Mendon, Ohio, has the greatest number of sheep here, numbering 42 in all. He competes with Southdowns, Shropshires and Dorsits. Mr. Ross has been in the sheep raising game for years and has many premiums to his credit. He expects to realize rewards from his choice selection tomorrow. W. C. McGeath and J . L. McGeath, brothers from Hartford City and Montpelier, have on exhibition some of the finest registered rams that are on display. svery sheep that they have here is a prize winner and has caused the judges to comment, favorably at every show. They also have seven Scotland ewes which are considered to be the most beautiful sheep raised Ryan and Keller of Bryant have on show 24 Cots and Lincoln Shevits, and Simon Summers,! of Huntington, has 13 Cots and Shropshires. W. M. Watson, of Spencerville, has on show 12 of the nest Rambouillets on the grounds. He also displays eight Morinos. Dan W. Lose shows 14 Rambouillets and B. Miller of Elkhart, competes with 12 head of Shevits. A fine display of both rams and ewes are being shown in the 37 head of Dorsits, Shevits, Southdowns, Merionos and Liecestors of the T. E. Bowsher & Sons entry. Superintendent L. M. Busche of the sheep department said that in all his experience with sheep shows that he has never seen a display equal to the one that is offered to the patrons of the fair. He states that every sheep entered in the competition for premiums is the finest that possibly can be raised. He is very well pleased and hopes that everybody that attends the fair will not miss this wonderful opportunity to see them. Art Hall Attracts Ladies The art hall is the seat of some of the most wonderful specimens of handiwork and skill that could be shown for awards. The neatness and intricate application necessary to compltet the articles on display, show that the women spent much time and money in making all of the finery that they have displayed for the people of the fair to see. The beautiful pattern and sewing work is something worth more than mere mention and nobody can really appreciate th e value and beauty of the display unless they attend the show. The work that awaits the judge’s decisions was made by both local and out-of-town ladies. Mrs. P. J. Scott and Mrs. W. S. Sands, of Kokomo, have the greatest number of articles on display, and expect to carry away many of the premiums. Mrs. James Bain, Mrs. C. D. Lewton, Mrs. Dr. J. M. Miller and Grace Moser are the women of this city who have a great number of articles on display. Tlie Art Department offers

1 awards on Pillow Cases, aprons, embrodiery work, handkerchiefs, etc. The room ie filled with beautiful things and the colors of the various designs afford a rich and cheerful display. Juvenile Department Interesting The Juvenile Department, which is a new thing this year for girls under sixteen years of age, is very interesting. Tho garments, and handiwork that these girls display are very beautiful and amazing. Many girls have contributed articles for the display which are being admired by the many people who attended the exhibit this morning. Eloulse Lewton, Lillian Gordon and Dorothy Haley have contributed more than any of the rest of the girls. In connection with the handiwork that the girls entered, they also have on exhibition fruit and dainties that they have prepared themselves. Awards will be given them for the best plate of candy and the best loaf of bread that they can bake. Mrs. Cleo Linn, who is the superintendent of the Art Department, says that she is very well pleased with the exhibit and hopes that many people will enjoy it.
