prise, judges have been selected who work with horse buyers in Michigan. Ohio and Pennsylvania. One of the outstai.Vng results I has been that buyers have come to Adams county from as far as ■ Maine and New York to pay at- ; tractive prices for horses. This in 1 turn has stimulated Adams county horsemen to seek better blood lines. in the last three years at least five new stallions have been 1 brought within reach of the local horse breeders. County officials have recognized the merit of the work and in addition to lending their moral support to the show, they have donated the use of the county garage for I stabling the stallions and the use of the county equipment for the i pulling contests. Interest High The interest in the horse show i is at a high pitch and it is probI able that the 1937 show, August 2 to 7, will be the best in history. Names of the horse committee are: Charles Herman, Ed Omlor. John W. Blakey, Henry L. Dehner. Everett Johnson. Archie H. Smitley, Noah Augsburger, Wilbert Lehman. Frank Habegger, Leon Neuenschwander, Otto Hoile, Winfred Gerke, Henry Ascheman.l Homer Neuenschwander. H. P. Schmitt, Floyd Ehrman, Peter B. Lehman, Edwin Neuhauser, Dan Kauffman. Win. Neadstine.

CONCESSIONAIRE DEMANDS SHOW FAIR'S GROWTH Heavy Demand For Concessions Show Popularity Os Decatur Fair I That the Decatur Free Sreet Fair .s rapidly becoming an object o. attract* <n to all concessionnaires and showmen of the fair world, is amp'y proven by the heavy demand for concesion space at this year's celebration, according to Chairman Dee Fryback. Nearly two weeks ago, with most of the planned activities fair week etill in their infancy, Mr, Fryback reported a "full house,” in the placing of conceseions and stands. Since the contracting for concessions at the Decatur fair has ah ways been done under an independent method, various type® of concess- gis and stands are available for the local event that cannot be had at similar celebrations, in other cities Mr- Fryback stated. Mr. Fryback has entertained the hope that some room might be found for a few extra concessions Saturday night. Conceseions will be lined up on both the east and west sides of econd street from Jatferson to midway between Monroe and Jackeon. Free acts, rides and shows will be located on intersecting streets, until after midnight Sunday. Great care has been selected in selecting the conceseicjie for this year’s event. "Wheels” anj gambling conceseions wil' be conepicious by their absence this year. Mr. Fryback and the fair Hoard have banned such concessions. The concessions chairman has stated that he expects to hear many more pro;, sals as late as Monday evening from concessionnaires who still have hopes of Jo | eating here. _
