SHEEP GROWERS
TO HAVE MEETING
Starting in Good Time to Ar
range for National AsSoGia-
ton Meeting.
WILL HAVE BIG EXHIBITION
CONVENTION IN JANUARY TO BE
BEST YET HELD.
WILL HAVE BIG EXHIBITION

The sheepmen and wool growers of
this state are called to meet at the
Commercial club at o'clock Saturday
afternoon to deal with the question of
the annual session of the National Wool
Growers association, which will meet
in this city I'm January.
The sheepmen have always kept and
upheld at least one strong central or
ganiZation TO fend off hurtfu things
and foster useful ones affecting their in
dustry. and have never allowed their
national organization to lag to an ex-
tent that its influence would be affected
at legislative centers. The wool grow
ers in Utah are determined that moth
ing may be neglected that may advance
the success Of the national gathering.
To that end they are starting in early
to get ready for the meeting. One meet
ing was already held, but it was
thought that some important matters
should be put before a larger gathering
and deferred much business
Among the important things urged by
local sheepmen was the holding Of a
display of fine and fat sheep during
convention week. This suggestion Inet
with the approval of those present, and
it was decided to take up details at the
coming meeting. The idea is to hold
such show as will be a credit to the
state. and 10 that end all breeders and
feeders, sheepmen in general, as well
as business men of the city and state,
have been invited.
