city, and when the American Live
Stock association holds 1t sannual con-
vention here the latter part of this
month the regal city of the Pacific will
have within her gates as representa-
tive body of Americans as could be
desired and one that will appreciate
to the fullest extent Southern Califor-
mia hospitality.
When the big white hats foregathcr
on January 81 there will be questions
discussed that are of%vast and far
reaching Importance - the proper ad-
justment of the range difficulty, the
matter of freight rates and the general
policy of railroads that do not make
proper efforts to take care of perish
able freight; last and most important
of all, our export trade.
The two great factors in the upbuild-
ing of our export trade have been the
American National Live Stock aSsocia-
ton and the International live stock
exposition held each year in Chicago.
The international, being the greatest
live stock show in the world, has
worked wonders in encouraging the
American farmer and stockman to raise
better stock of all kinds. Only the
great Chicago market could carry
through successfully such a vast under
The American stockman has learned
through the international that it is
possible for him to successfully COM
pete with foreign breeders and stock
growers. Then comes the American
National Live Stock association with
it's magnificent organization and ener-
getic committees to urge matters per-
tanning to our export trade, especially
with Germany, to a successful conclu-
sion. The american National TiUo
Stock association has done more to ad-
vance the interests of the American
farmer and Stockman than any other
organization in the United States.
Los Angeles is extremely fortunate in
securing the convention of the Ameri
can National Live Stock association.
No better and more prosperous class
of men exists than the keen-minded,
big-bodied and whole-hearted stock
men of this country. That they will
receive the true California welcome
goes without saying.
The chamber of commerce hopes to
make the reception to the live stock
men Tuesday evening an event that
will be remembered by the visitors.
1t will be held in the chamber of COM
merce rooms and the organizations 5
celebrated punch will be served.
President Stewart has appointed the
following committee to assist Chair
man Vickers of the committee of ar
rangements in entertaining the live
stock delegates:
