Owing to the large number Of horses
cattle and hogs which will be on dis

the food for these animals will be one
of the most important items of expense
to the association. This subject was
taken up at the meeting of the execu-
tive committee Of the festival associa-
ton. last evening. at the Murray thea
ter. the festivals present headquarters.
BY asking local grain stores to bid
on the supplies the association hae
saved a large sum. 1t is believed. The
bids of the feed store merchants were
all very reasonable and 1t was decided
to all participate in the sale Of grain
and other foods

corn. Richmond Feed Co.. and Runge's
feed store. 15 cents per bushel; oats.

81 per ton.

feed as it is needed and in the quanti-
ties which IL is needed. The amount
OF feed necessary will depend largely
on the number of animals displayed.

innate the number of animals on dis
play. it Is expected that the number
will be twice a. large n on exhibition
