MANY STUDENTS WILL ATTEND STOCK SHOW

Plan to Visit International Op. Dec. sth is Interesting a Large Number Here. V • ' ° The plan inaugurated by County Agent Barrett and Prof. Ira Coe, of the Rensselaer high school, to tgke a large crowd of boys and girls to the International Fat Stock Show at the* Union Stock Yards, in Chicago, on Friday, Dec. sth, is .meeting favor in Rensselaer and also in many of the district schools. It is probable that from thirty to forty will go to the show on that day and be ushered over the yards and through the pavilion by Messrs. Barrett and Coe. A feature of the visit that is attracting much attention is the offer of John J. Lawler* the stdckiifan, to give a big dinner to all who attend in the party from here. Arrangements were also made to have the students admitted free to the exposition. The early morning train will take the party to Chicago, making stops at Parr and Shelby to take on scholars, and teachers from those points, and a fine day of instruction and amusement is planned. If any of the scholars who accompany the teachers to Chicago are to remain over they will be required to present a written statement from their parent to that effect. Parents will be welcome to accompany their children, but are not included in the free dinner which Mr. Lawler is to provide, and they will have to pay admission to the show. If you have been in the habit of attending the stock show yon will want to attend this year. If you have not been in the habit then you will find it of great interest. The best stock in all the land, horses, cattle, hogs and sheep, will be at this show. It is an education that your son should not miss, while your daughter will also find it a great help to her. Plan to let them go and if possible plan to go yourself. Tell your school teacher or. get word to County Agent Barrett. i <
