Cass County
Fair a Great
Exposition
Wealth of Products From the Farms
of the County and Work of
Young People Shown
Tuesday was the opening day of
the Cass County Agricultural Society
and sure it was a busy day for all,
as there were many there to enter
their stuff for exhibition. The build
ings all over the city were utilized
as there was much call for space.
The purchase of the Jamison prop
erty relieved the pressure for space
some but it was all well filled, and
still demand for other space. The
large tent only afforded space for
the hogs, and was crowded at that.
The Davis buildings were all used.
Spencer Marshall room on the north
side did good service. The boy scouts
tent was well filled and under the
guidance of Scout Master Ralph
Pickham, the boys do excellent ser
vice all over the city. The machin
ery exhibit was well filled, the stock
and poultry were well represented
with all kinds, including chickens,
geese, ducks and turkeys. Cats, dogs,
and rabbits occupied their part. Fine
horses, cattle and sheep were there
in abundance. The agricultural ex
hibit was fine, of grain, vegetables
and fruits. One, would be surprised
at the very fine exhibit of corn, for
it was there in abundance with every
kind and of an excellent quality. In
the most abundant years one would
not expect more than this years
produced. All we say is be sure and
visit the fair as it continues until
Friday and each day will be bigger
and better.
The Farmers Lumber company of
Cedar Creek have a very fine exhibit
on Main street of poultry and hog
houses and prices made for delivery
at any one's farm, on skids. On the
space between Chris Rasmussens store
and the poultry exhibit in the newly
acquired property formerly the Jam
inson property, is the exhibit of the
Binger Lumber company which con
sists of brooder house, chicken
houses and hog houses, an array
which challenged the attention of all
who pass that way. They also make
special delivery prices. Main street
is replete with merry-go-rounds, fer
ris wheels and amusements and mer
chandise stands of all kinds. Noth
ing left to be desired. By all means
be sure and be at the rair one day
any way for if you are not you will
miss something good.

Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 15. Mil
ton Sills, 48, for many years one of
the best known actors in motion pic
tures, fell dead from a heart attack
while playing tennis with his wife
and son at their suburban home to
night. Mrs. Sills, formerly Doris Ken
yon, film actress, said her husband
apparently was in the best of health
when the game started. First intim
ation anything was wrong came
when Sills staggered and fell to the
court.
Friends of the actor, visiting at
the Sill3 home, carried Sills into
the house and summoned the Saw
telle police iuhalator squad. He died
at 6:45 p. m., 15 minutes after be
ing stricken and without regaining
consciousness.
Sills, once a professor of mathe
matics at Chicago university, was
one of the athletes of the screen.
Recently his health had not been
good. He was confined to his home
several weeks last spring with a
nervous disorder.
Rose to Fame Swiftly.
Sill3 advanced to stardom in the
films almost overnight, after a suc
cessful stage career. Like many of
those with whom he rubbed elbows
in the theatrical world, his start was
much by accident.
He was born in Chicago January
12, 18S2, and was educated at Hyde
Park- High school and the Univer
sity of Chicago. He became a col
lege instructor in mathematics. He
was the son of William Henry and
Josephine. Sills.
Evincing a mild interest in ama

His first training came in plays pro
duced by Belasco, Frohman, Brady
and the Shuberts.
Swiftly he rose to leading roles
and the Broadway of 20 years ago
accepted him as the matinee idol
of "This Woman and This Man,"
"Just to Get Married." "The Gover

"Diplomacy," and others. He also
