CALL FOR NATIONAL
LIVESTOCK MEETING

Your particular attention is called
to the Fifteenth Annual Convention Of
the American National Live Stock as
sociation, to be held at the Broadway
theatre, Denver, Colo, on December
18th and 18th, 1911. The objects and
work of the American National Live
Stock association are of very great
Importance to the live stock growers
of this country, and the coming con-
vention of this association promises to
over-shadow all former annual meet j.
ings, both in attendance and in the
Importance of the work to be under
taken. Although this statement may
seem like strong one when the great
work of former conventions is recall
ed, we hope to make this excel all 9TH
ers in interest and in Importance.
We also desire to call your attention
to the fact that our worthy president,
Murdo Mackenzie, is about to leave
the United States and accept a posi-
tion of great trust in South America,
and the live stock fraternity feels that
at this convention will be a suitable
opportunity to show President Mae
kenzie the high esteem in which the
live stock men hold him and bid him
"good bye and good luek' This and
many other matters of interest win
cause live stock men to be in attend
ance In addition to this there is the
regular work for the stock men to
take up in connection with their vast
interests this year, perhaps more i'm
portant than usual, for we will have
a national election in 1912, and az
both of the great political parties are
apparently seeking some way to cheap
en- something, it looks as though the
industry of the western cattle and
sheep growers will be selected to BE-
offered up as a sacrifice to appease the
eastern interests, where the larGeut

ern people, and the danger W is that
both political parties are ito take
something from someone;
The American National live Stock
association has great influence in con-
gress, and it is through this associa-
tion that the live stock men can be
best represented. Furthermore, the
government is in favor of some form
of control of all national resources,
such as waterpower, coal, forestry and
grazing lands, etc., and it is more than
probable that at the next session Of
congress some action will be taken
toward classifying the unoccupied, un-
appropriated public lands with view
to better establishing the respective
rights of the small settler and stock
lgrower. This probably means the CON-
ing of grazing lease law or permit
system, being one of the great things
for which the American National Live
Stock association has always con-
tended.
The country is facing serious
shortage in both cattle and sheep, and
this question is one of the greatest i'm
portance to all engaged in growing live
stock, and also to those who have large
yards, railway terminals, stock ears,
etc.
Furthermore, Denver and her people
