WARREN TO HAVE
A STOCK EXHIBIT
Space at Ozark Exposition Reserved
For Exhibit of Well Known
Vinita Stock Breeder.

Joplin, Mo, Oct. I'D. S. Warren of
Vinita, Ok, and recognized as one OF
the foremost breeders of thorough
bred horses and mules in the United
States, yesterday engaged space foe
the record breaking percheron, Duke OF
France and several others of his best
horses to be exhibited at the Ozark
Interstate Exposition to be held in
Joplin, October to II.
Accompanying Mr. Warren was NJ.
w. Clay, a we'll known horseman of
Newton county, Missouri, who made
reservations for two of his premium
winning coach stations and other
stock. Mr.. Warren and Mr. Clay are
to have adjoining reservations and
will, it is said, combine to capture all
first premiums in the classes in which
their stock will compete.
Other horse breeders from the vic
unity of Vinita which is known as one
of the best horse raising territories in
the country, who are to send exhibits
to the exposition are Henry Goddard
and Robert Jackson Leforce Bros,
also will bring car load of choice
stock.
Among other breeders of Missouri
who are to exhibit blue blooded stock,
| is DR.. B. A. Pierce of Lebanon, who
yesterday engaged twenty stalls. Mr.
Pierce is widely known throughout
Missouri for his fine stock farm, and
he confidently expects to take many
of the ribbons. DR.. Pierce is part own
er of the Mansion farm, the S1,10O,10
paradise near Lebanon.
Many Others Heard From.
Director General Sam H. Smith Of
the exposition daily is in receipt of
inquiries from stock men throughout
the exposition territory, many of whom
have signified their intention of bring
ing from one to two car loads of stock
to the big show. For the benefit of
those who already have not made their
reservations, therefore, they are urged
to do so as soon as possible as the
space is limited
Horses by no means constitute the
bulk of the live stock exhibit. There
Twill be hundreds of prize winning
bulls, COWS and calves, to say nothing
of sheep, hogs, goats and chickens. 1t
lis the desire to make the chicken de-
partment one of the most complete
ever seen at any exposition in this
section of the country, and at this time,
as there have been reservations made
by some twenty poultry raisers, there
is reason to believe the chicken, duck
and pigeon population at the fair will
be extraordinary.
Should Make Reservations.
Fearful that the number of exposi-
ton visitors who come to Joplin will
find difficulty in securing adequate
quarters, Director General Smith is
desirious of hearing from all persons
having rooms to rent during the ten
days and how many people they can
accommodate.
Outside of the exposition proper
there will be entertainment, something
doing" all the time for the visitors
in the down town streets, which early
next week will be decorated at a cost
of $500 by the w. L. Short company Gf
Chicago, reputed to be the foremost
decorators in the country. Every night
will be a gala night in the down town
streets. Girls and boys will parade
in masques and indulge in antics the
like of which never before has been
seen away from New Orleans during
the famous Mardi Graus
Simultaneous with the beginning of
the work of street decoration by the
Short company, merchants along Main
street from Tenth to Third streets,
and on Fourth street from Virginia
avenue to the east to Wall street to
the west will transform the appear
ances of their respective buildings by
the lavish use of streamers, bunting
and flags of the nation colors, and the
resulting effect cannot other than be
imposing.
AS To Railroad Fares.
The question of railroad fares TO
the exposition has not yet been de-
finitely decided. 1t is thought, how
ever, that before the big show opens
inducements such as are offered by
the railroads for the Priests of Pallas
at Kansas City and the Missouri state
fair at Sedalia, which is a rate of one
and one half cents a nile, will have
been forthcoming
Buildings at Electric Park ara now
going up rapidly. The women's build
ing is about completed, while the
large pavilion in which the Empire
District Electric company will place
one of the biggest exhibits of the kind
