Preparations FOR
Welcome Of ChanticIecr
Coming Poultry Show VIII Be Greatest Event Of Kind Eve
Held in Stakeholder Auspices Of National
Association This Year

Chanticleer will hold the stage more
prominently than ever, this year, un-
der the auspices of the North Dakota
POULTRY association, the annual show
OF which will be held during the week
Of the Tri-State Grain Growers con-
vention, Jan. is to 20. 1t will be the
nineteenth annual exhibit and the
records of the association will verify
the fact that every succeeding show
has been better than the previous
one. as regards number and quality
OF the barnyard ~aristocrats exhibited.
SO much so that six years ago the
enterprise was recognized by the state
legislature which permanently placed
1t under state auspices by making an
appropriation OF $500, to be expended
exclusively in premiums.
This year President Crabbe, Score
tary Cannif and their fellow workers
lave won for the association another
dignity. 1t is now affiliated with the
American National Poultry associa-
ton and the coming show viii be the
first one to be held under the rules
OF the national association and that
will mean much to the winners of
ribbons in the different classes-in
short, added value to the individual
birds and pens.
Another innovation will be-, two
judges will be used, instead of one,
II. H. Benjamin and C. A. whitney.
One will score the American and
Mediterranean classes and the other
the Asiatic and game classes.
In spite of big Inducements Presi-
dent Crabbe and the association Of
hcers have succeeded In retaining the
exhibit this yea in Fargo in spite of
the fact that the commercial club and
others at Grand Forks did their level
best to get the 1912 show. The asso-
citation officers were never so enthusi-
astic as they are this year and 1t Is
up to the business men Of the city TO
wake W and discard a dormancy
which has been altogether too pro-
nounced in past years. The North
Dakota association has made IT q hard
and fast rule never to hound business
men and others for prizes. The pre-
miums offered have always been paid
from the receipts Of the show and if
ever a shortage appeared it was
pocketed by the live wires" Of the
association. The premiums have al
ways been paid. Last year the cash
premiums awarded exceeded the state
appropriation of $500 by 5000, but the
excess was paid by the association
and every award was paid before the
doors of the show closed for the sea-
son.. g.t.
Negotiations are pending which IL
contaminated will mean the securing
of an attraction which besides being
interesting to breeders and lovers of
poultry in common will be valuable
from the points of instruction and in
formation. 1t is not generally known
that within the borders of the state
and not a great distance from Fargo,
at Marion, in LaMoure county, is the
third largest poultry farm in the
United States. The owners Of this
farm have a model Of that farm
showing the plan and every detail in
it's entirety. President Crabbe and

OF millions OF dollars to the people and
tho exposition of frauds perpetrated by
men who have been brought to justice.

In the coming campaign
THOSE OPPOSING HIM.
Who are opposing the denomination
and reelection OF Mr.. Taft at this
time? First. the great indicators of
wealth. who having acquired their
fortunes illegally and having dictated
to some extent the policies OF parties
and the acts Of legislation In the past,
become very naturally angry when
they are attacked by this administra-
ton as violators OF law and convict I'D
of crime in the federal courts. They
insist that tho President Ia unsafe and
that legitimate business is threatened.
7 submit however. that no honest
business man In this country, whether
big or little, has any fear of the law.
II In only the Offenders who know that
they have violated the law who are
now crying out against tho Pr ssident's
policy OF enforcing thu statutes, They
want that law changed. for mo rogue
GRO felt tho halter draw with good
opinion Of tho law"
ANOTHER CLASS OF OPPONENTS
There II another class OF men opposing
the President and they have opposed svery
act. either directly or indirectly. which he
has proposed, They are tho men who
make a profession OF reform and who
insist that nothing Ia genuine that does
not have their names blown In tho bottle
They may have been disappointed In pat
ronage. They insist that they have been
neglected by the President and YET all the
time they have In secret and some times
IN the open anita eoniyed the President and
done everything they could to discrsdit
him
Some " tho leaders Of them have great
political ambitions ana they are naturally
Jealous OF any man who has II chance
Of success 30 long as President Taft ~
III the lead their common energies and
