intrests behind the movement are

national Live Stock exposition, and
this is an important point, as fully

every year when the prize cattle,
horses, sheep and hogs are on DIS
play. With the double attraction
this season, it will be possible for
anyone visiting Chicago to see in
condensed form practically all that
the west and south have TO. offer.
