All have heard of the great plowing matches at Big Rock and Wheatland, 111., but few have ever witnessed them. The program at Lake Villa not only has horse drawn classes, but the rapidly increasing tractor as well. Some eleven makes of tractors are now entered with prospects of more. The plowing event starts at 9:30 a. m. A Big Horse Show Too Lake Villa, next to some Kentucky and Missouri points, leads in saddle horses and hackney ponies. Besides the saddle and hackney champions high jumpers and hunters will compete. A steeple chase rac^~ always exciting, always dangerous,^ill be held. The latter will take place in a large field and some four hurdles will be used. Besides the horses of O. W. and E. J. Lehman and J. K. Dering, several entries from the Peabody-Wilson and Wheeler farms have been made. Horse show begins at 1:00 p. m. Ride In an Aeroplane No more beautiful site for an aeroplane ride could well be had than that near the Busse farm field, where the events of the day are scheduled, with the many lakes and fine estates to view from above. Many will no doubt "go up." "An exhibition of skill by the pilot, Lieut. G. D. Morrow, will be given at noon. Two Auctioneers Busy I An innovation for such events is the selling at auction of anything that is offered. Two auctioneers will be on hand and you can buy motors, cars, trucks, horses, stock, implements, etc., at your own price. So send along anything you want to cash in. The auctions start at 10:30, a. m Very Large Crowd Expected While big quantities of food ,will be on hand at fair prices (a fine box lunch will be sold), yet the management urges families and parties to bring theft" own lunch, so as to be certain of getting it. Th§re were some twelve thousand at the Big Rock event two weeks, ago, where some twenty-seven hundred were served lunches. Hot coffee, "red h )ts," doughnuts, soft drinks and ice c. eam, however, will be in plenty, even if the box lunches fall short. A crowd of ten to twenty thousand, depending on the weather, is predicted. All Events Start Promptly From the starting of the plowing at 9:30 every event will begin on the minute advertised. So get there early and enjoy the most unusual day's pleasure ever offered in this section. An admission fee of 25 cents to the grounds will be charged; children free. Motor cars admitted and parked free. A big dance at night will be held in Barnstable hall. The Husk O'Hare orchestra of Chicago, used at Lake Geneva Country club, has been engaged. This is one of the very best dance orchestras. Fruit frappe aad cake will be served. - INTERESTING LAND DATA As Compiled By Tax Commissi C&N. W. R. R. Thru the courtesy of T. A.

The state highway commission evidently assumes entire responsibility for everything connected with a road when it takes over a state aid road except in the matter of cleaning off the snow in winter.
