THE NATIONAL STOCK SHOW.
Prospects for the Greatest Show Ever
Held in the West.

Entries for the National Stock
Show at Denver close this week on
everything but carloads and entries
already indicate the greatest show
ever held in the West. There will be
horses from Canada, from Ohio, from
Illinois, Missouri Iowa, Kansas and
most of the western states. Among
the prominent herds of cattle coming
are the Shcrthorn herds of Carpen-
ter & Ross of Mansfield. Ohio;
Thomas Johnson & Son of Columbus,
Ohio; c. e. Clark of Minnesota;
Frank Harding of Wisconsin; The
Elmendorf Farm of Kentucky; w. ].
Miller of Iowa; A. C. Binnie of Iowa;
]. e. Bales & Son of Iowa. and many
others, all the beef breeds being rep
resented by the best in the country.
There will be sheep from all over the
United States and Canada, all of the
breeds being represented.
1t is expected that the car load ex-
hibit of feeder cattle will be the great
est ever held and big feeder buyers
are coming from all parts Of the coun-
try to purchase the prize winners.
The business end of the Denver
show always attracts considerable at
tention. The stockmen from the
west bring their choice cattle and
sheep to the show and sell them at
fancy prices and the big breeders OF
the east bring their cattle. sheep and
horses here and sell the best Of them
to the western men. This Is where
the show is doing a great work. 1t
Is placing within the reach of the
western breeders the best the country
has in live stock and within very
few years the western men will be
winning the premiums and the east
ern man will be pretty well out OF 1t.
The railroads are making very rea'
sonable rates through the West for
the week OF the show. In Colorado a
half rate will prevail while in New
Mexico, Utah. Idaho. Nevada, Wyom'
ing and Montana. the rate will be q
fare plus 50 for the round trip. This
will bring in a great number OF stock-
men and with the stock show and con-
ventions, Denver will be busy place
during the week of January S-15. With
the new buildings being erected and
the magnificent big pavilion COM
pleted last year, the show will be In
shape to take care OF the crowds COM
fortably no matter what the weather
may be, but there is usually good
weather at that time Of the year.

Practical Politics.

A political office in small town in
Iowa was vacant. The office paid
$3.50 year. and there was keen COM
petition for it. The Democratic can
didate, Ezekiel Hicks, was shrewd
old fellow, and neat campaign fund
was turned over to him. To the as
constituent of all, however, he was
defeated.
81 can't account for it," said one
of the Democratic leaders gloomily.
with that money, we should have
won. How did you lay it out. Eze-
kiel?
"Well." said Ezekiel. slowly pulling
his whisl1ers. yer see that office only
pays $3.50 year salary. an l didn't
see no sense in payin' 5000 out to get
the office, SO | bought me little
truck farm instead"
The new era., 1909-12-23

German hotel keeper who had the ser.
want trouble in its most aggravating
form. To maintain good help in all
the departments of the hostelry SEEM
ed impossible. Then he dreamed what
sweet place the earth would be II
there were no servants-or rather If
there were servants who would stay
on the job
In his dreaming the scheme came
to drill girls into every sort of work
about the hotel and change their oc-
cupations before they had time to grow
tired. Thus the cook Of one week
might be the floor maid of the next
and so on. The scheme went great.
So much that his totel gained fame
as 1.-The hotel of the happy family"
He became the envy of the less for
tunate men who began drawing away
his help by offering increased wages.
This put the innkeeper to thinking
again. The result was the regularly
launched messenger service, where.
