Livestock Breeders to Meet

President Fred Phillips has called a meeting of the Jasper County Livestock Breeders’ association to be held at the Gayety theater Friday, January 4, at I o’clock. This meeting is one of the most important ever held by the association and ig called for the purpose of securing a sales and show pavilion to take care of the increased business of the association. The association has begun to feel the need of public sales to dispose of the surplus pure-bred animals produced. A central sales pavilion will do away with the necessity and expense of holding these pure-bred sales on the farms. Individual farmers often find that the expense of providing suitable selling facilities on their farms and proper transportation to the farms is prohibitive. The association hopes to overcome tlhese difficulties by making arrangements fop a building. Every member is urged to attend this meeting.
