one of the teachers in Catholic college

POULTRY SHOW HERE !

Question for Morrlstown People to De-
eide or orange win Get the show.
Which town will have the poultry
show this yearO Orange, or Morristown
Morristown has many advantages, it
has three railroads and should be the
greatest show center of northern New
Jersey.
Poultry shows are not run for money
making and many experts can corrob-
crate. that statement. Our enthu-
siastic leaders worked strenuously for
the past two shows and the tradesmen
shared the increase Of business, while
the workers were more than content
in the glory Of establishing Morris
town as a show centre
1t is the custom for the people OF a
town to get together, offer cups and
prizes and feel that the show is their
show and help it forward In the
past some have, but the majority of
our people are Indifferent. Orange
tradesmen seeing that it is wise in
vestment are trying to steal away the
Morristown patrons by offering grand
inducements. This should not be, for
the people OF our town have demon
strated the fact well chat they are
wide awake Of late.
The association has chosen Frank
lin W. Muir of this town to succeed
Lloyd B. TredWay, as secretary. Mr..
Muir sincerely believes that the town
people will work with him in making
the Morristown Poultry show a grand
snccess and become an established
show centre.
