There was by noon an ex cellent display of horses, and also the cattle were well represented. The poultry showed up well and kept growing in numbers and variety as the day advanced. There was a large number of fine sheep in the pens early, and the poultry was very ex tensive, embracing chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and even to rabbits and pet cats and kittens and with numberous dogs of all variety. The entertainment was very gen erous and of many varieties, as were also the games and stands which had to sell everything from a chance on the owning of the world to a blanket to keep you warm in the winter.

The showings this, year are large and represent all lines of the farm products, canning and needlework, school and 4.H club exhibits that are very fine. The Cass county fair is different from that of most of the fairs of the state as the fair is held in the busi ness section of the 'city where var ious buildings house the exhibits. One of the features of the Cass coun ty fair is the unusually large number of cattle, hogs, horses and stock that is shown from all parts of Cass coun ty. .
