The stock pavilion of the state of
Iowa on the state fair ground will not
be idle even in the winter time. A

George Redhead as president and Dan
Mills as secretary to conduct sales of
livestock there during the winter and
spring months. The first OF their sales
will be in February, Hereford on the
oath, Shorthorns on the 25th and Po-
land Chinas on the 26th. They are al

In April. This is new industry for
