will come TO the Worlds Fair in Au-
gust in an OF cart drawn by two oxen,
which they broke two years ago when
the animals we're calves a month old,
have entered them in the oxen events
OF the Worlds Fair Live Stock Show.
The ientries were received recently at
the Office Of the Live Stock Depart

The Roddy brothers shortly after
the calves were broke to drive IN
nounced their intentIan Of utilizing
them as a means Of transportation to
the Worlds lair. The livestock ex-
hibIts begin August = and the boys
will start on their trip about that
time. Centralia is i24 miles from st.
Louis, and with the old-fashioned We
hicIe In which they intend to make
the journey and the plodding oxen, 1t
is estimated that two weeks will be re-
quired to make the distance.
On the way Stephen and Forrest will
be furnished with Worlds Fair litera-
ture and advertising matter, which
they will scatter freely along the route
from their home TO ST. Louis. Num-
berless letters have been received by
tho boys from all oyer the country
making suggestions as to how the
odd journey should be made, but they
will stick to the first plan OF driving
their pet oxen to the Worlds Fair by
easy stages and then entering them In
competition with other animals OF
their class in the events to which they
are eligible. The animals n fine
specimens and have been gro0med and
fattened ever since their owners con-
ceised the idea Of making the trip to
