The tenth annual Farmers' Fair at

horse show. Thousands of people wit

Other big attractions at the Fair

"We estimate that ten thousand
people will have passed through the

the statement given out by Anton
Frolik, treasurer of the board of
managers Saturday evening. He also
said, "We truly believe that this was
one of the most interesting Farmers'
Fairs ever staged because of the
many new attractions. It seems that
the varied program made it possible
for everyone to" be greatly inter
ested." K Arabian Horse
One of the most interesting parts
of the horse show was the demon
stration by Prof. W. G. Longworthy
Taylor and his horse "Shibam", the
intelligent Arabian stallion. Mr. Tay
lor was formerly an instructor in
the University of Nebraska and is a
great lover of fancy horses.

A co-ed revolt was organized that
filled nine out of twenty-one class

The league believes that qualified
women in administrative offices, up
on boards and commissions, and in
