No. 50809
State Certificate No. 1360. Renewal No. 1049. Division of Horse Breeding
Arion Strother, 508»9, was bred by Enoch Strother, Cresco, Iowa, and was foaled in
1909 is brown in color and of good individuality, and with the blood of high-class and
fashionable trotting families necessary to make him a sire of style and speed.
His sire is Arion, 18,000 record 2.07%, the only harness horse in the history of the world
that ever sold for $125,000. Arion has the champion 2-yearoId trotting stallion record of
2:10%, and the champion 3-year-old record of 2:1 V&, both made with the old-fashioned high
wheel sulky and on that basis has never been equalled.
Arion Strother, through his sire, combines, the Electioneer blood with that of Nutwood,
the greatest sire of producing dams, and Pilot Jr., thus making the world's greatest outcross
of Wilkes mares.
Arion Strother's breeding on his sire's side is backed up by that of his dam, Dot Sprague,
tracing to Princeps, sire and grandsire of 224 standard performers with records so low as
2:05%. His dam can be seen at Strother's barn, and her breeding combines the producing
blood 'f the Geo. Wilkes, Gov. Sprague, Gold Dust and Hambletohian families. Only a few
approved mares will be accepted.
Arion Strother is a strongly bred horse—one that breeds directly from himself and his
ancestors. It is not what a horse might do. utid,er the most favorable circumstances, but what
lie has done in his first get—a ten-month-old colt—and I defy anyone to show & better individ
ual, a better boned, a better gaiteti trotter, one that can step faster of it's age than Arionite.
Arionite is now owned by me and can be seen at my bafti.
Arion Strother will make the season of 1914 at the Strother barn Cresco, Iowa. Pee
$25.00 to insure alive foal. Mares sold or traded will be considered in foal and service fee im

He died Saturday, May 23, 1914.
Funeral services were held in the

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Florence McCook, Editor-in-Chief.
The program given by the musical
organizations of the high school Fri
day evening proved very interesting
to the audience and financially high
ly successful. Cresco high school
pupils are to be congratulated on
the unusual opportunities they are
given to develop their musical abil
ity, both vocal and instrumental,
and we are glad to say that they
have taken advantage of these op
portunities this year to the extent
of supporting four excellent musical
organizations—the girl^' glee club,
boys' glee club, the orchestra and
the band. All of these were well
represented in the program Friday
evening. The weather proved fa
vorable for an outdoor performance,
as had, been planned, and this fact
also added' to the enjoyment of the
occasion. The band was under the
able direction of Mr. Thaler. They
played several selections and all re
markably well. The work of the
band has been very much inter
rupted this year, so that the ability
shown speaks particularly well both
for the boys and their director. The
girls' glee club rendered a half doz
en numbers of their favorite songs
and were highly complimented by all.
The audience is always pleased at
the appearance of the boys' glee
club with their rollicking college
sonars, and they were encored on
every number. Miss Hughes has
done excellent work with both
these clubs, and they show the re
sult of regular and thorough prac
tice. Miss Connolly presented )the
orchestra in some new and very
"pleasing numbers. Near the close
ot' the program when the audience
might be expected to become tired,
a little variety was introduced in
negro make-up. They sang several
plantation songs very effectively
and amusingly. On the. whole the
program was such a success that
we hope it will become an annual
event hereafter.
Dr. Robertson's addresa Sunday
evening was on Self-Reliance. He
presented this lecture in a very able
manner, and we are sure that not
only the graduates received sug
gestions from his ideas but the un
dergraduates and fathers and
mothers as well.
Mr. Cornish and his high school
manual training boys showed us
Monday morning just how quickly
they could erect a stage. The stag®
is 18 by 30 and 3 feet off the
ground. Everything was put up and
ready for the performance in Just
an hour and ten minutes after the
lumber was on the ground.
The returns from the Music Fest
were between 65 and 70 dollars. To
the inquiring, it is stated that this
money is to be spent in defraying
the expenses of a band instructor
and also to purchase new music.
We hope that next year the people
•vjrill support this event better. We
are sure that out of town organiza
tions are brought here which do not
give as creditable a performance as
was given Friday night. These
other troops have taken in as much
as a hundred dollars and the admis
sion charged was much greater.
Cresco high school has three very
able musical directors and they
have done remarkably well consider
ing that nothing like this had been
attempted until last year.
Mention was made in the preced-1
ing write-up of the music fest of
the solos that Miss Hughes sang and
the reading by Paul Brown Thrsa
numbers were rendered in an excel
lent manner and both encored.
Don't forget the ball game between
Calmar and Cresco at the South
Side ball park Friday afternoon at'
3:15. There is going to be a hot:
game.
