speaking in behalf of the Chamber of
Commerce and Young Mems Pro-
gressive League Of that city today at
noon rendered an ivitation to the Ar
kansas Stock Growers Association to
hold the third annual convention in
Pine Bluff. President NV. McCleish
under whose jurisdiction the select
ing of meeting places comes, an
nounced that he would confer with
the executive committee before ac-
cepting or declining the invitation.
A large crowd of Pine Bluff men
attended the meeting and demon
strated that they wished to cooper
ate with the association and assured
the convention that royal reception
would be given the delegates at Pine
Bluff next year if that city is chosen.
Mr. Rowell told of the advantages
Of the new packing plant and stock
y
in Pine Bluff. Buyers from Kansas
City, st. Louis, Chicago and the East
ern markets will have offices in the
stock exchange and will buy for their
respective companies, assuring the
Arkansas stock grower a competitive
market.
od bu
Bluff men show that the price per
head obtained for Arkansas stock,
both those sold in the State and those
shipped, is from one-half to one-third
that received by Northern stock rails
ers. This is partly due to the infer
ior grade of stock generally raised
in the State and the absence of COM
petitive home markets. During the
morning session the personnel of the
executive committee was chosen.
