I A FEATURE OF STOCK SHOW

WILL BE DISTRIBUTION OF 40 SHORTHORN HEIFERS NEXT SATURDAY. At 2 o’clock next Saturday afternoon in front of the new First National Bank building an event will take place which will have an important bearing in the development of Jasper county. At that time the forty registered Shorthorn heifers purchased by the bank will be distributed to as many boys in different parts of the county. All week these heifers have been arriving and capable livestock judges are enthusiastic as to their quality and are convinced that if each heifer goes out to establish a pure bred Shorthorn herd on some farm of the county, the value of the move will be hard to over-estimate. Saturday afternoon a committee representing the Jasper County Livestock Association named forty boys who will have the first opportunity to receive animals and whom they designated as alternates. • Twentyfive boys were also selected as alternates, many, of whom will receive heifers. The drawing will be in charge of Col. Fred Phillips and James N. Leatherman, cashier of the First National Bank. The names of the principals will be placed in one hat and those of the alternates in another. The heifers will be numbered and the corresponding numbers placed in a third receptacle. The clerk will draw the name of a principal, who will step up and draw a number from the receptacle, which will designate the heifer which he is to receive. Should any principal fail to qualify, the name of an alternate will be drawn and the distribution will proceed until the animals have all been placed. The principals selected are: Earl Matheny, Garfield Folger, Ivan Snow, Clarence Meadel, Ralph Dunlap, Murray Sigo, Russell Rayburn, __ Ellsworth Price, Ray Yeoman, C. E. Farabee, Christian Weuthrich, Clarence Hansen, Walter Erb, Herschell Bice, Cletus Kohley, Walter E.
