charge Of the various phases Of the
work
One Of the largest difficulties con-
fronting the organization is to secure
a suitable place in which TO hold the
show. This lack Of a big hall or audi
forum handicapped the last show held
by the association.
The last show, despite the fact that
Ii was held during the time the Grand
Prize automobile races we're being run,
and In q hall considerably too small,
was a pronounced success both from
the interest taken In the exhibits, the
class Of birds shown and the number
Of people who saw the show.
With no competing attraction this
year 1t is hoped to make the show
very much larger one, and to draw ex-
hibitors from even farther away than
the last show did.

They had been impressed with
John Hamilton's rugged integri-

So with others they invited John
Hamilton to put his feet under
their table.
And dog-gone it, he accepted
that invitation without saying
one word to the Huntsville Ban

indignant.
Now had he sat in a game of

would have been a statesman and

he went on his own notion. And
he never asked leave or license

And that same dog-gone man

And one day he defended his
