There Is an old saying in England
among stockmen that "the bull is lIf

saw ever uttered. but the stOckmen
OF this country are still learning this
fact by experience. The main object
of the National Western Stock Show

good blood and In order that they may

best breeders and herds Of the country
will be represented. The same may be
said OF the Galloway breed and OF tho

This feature OF the big stock show Is
the business end and the annual dis
persal of these well bred cattle through
the West means millions to the live

future.
The new building for the stock show
is completed. It represents an invest

seat over 5000 people. The big arena
will be constantly occupied with
