From now on until after the first
Saturday in May the above is to be
the slogan of the business men and
other public-spirited people of this
city. Plans for the holding of the
horse show are now being worked out,
and Frank Frazier. director general
of the coming exhibition, is busy with
preparations for the big event.
''The three banks have been named
as registry places, and those who in
tend to take part in the horse show
are asked to register their animals at
one of those institutions" says Mr.
Frazier. Also, he requests that aside
from the name of the animal to be
entered, the owner also register his
breeding. BY doing this the director
will be given a clue as to the pedigree
of the animal and he will be able to
provide the remaining facts. No ami
NAL in the big parade will be without
pedigree.
According to Frank Frazier he
wants all who have anything good to
show to take part in the parade. The
show will be open to horses of all
riptions-roadsters, trotting and
running stock and draft horses all be-
ing represented. Also, those having
mules and jacks are asked to enter
them.
That the show will be of inestimable
benefit to the horsemen participating
