STOCK SHOW OF
1914 SUCCESS
DR.. Van Pelt of Iowa
Judged Animals This Year
and is Much Pleased With
Splendid Showing Of Ari--
IONA Herds

There was lively competition at the
stock show yesterday The rainy
weather of the two days previous had
interfered with the work of the depart
ment but yesterday made up for it and
the attendance there as with all other
portions of the fair, exceeded all rec
ords. The stock judging was on and
mighty interesting it was at that
Groups of students of the University
of Arizona were hard at work, judging
the stock that has been placed on eX-
hibition from all portions of the south
west. The climax of this splendid
show will come today when the fat
stock parade will be shown before the
crowded grandstand at o'clock in the
afternoon in the small track. This
show always calls out the greatest
number of folks to see it and the
greatest enthusiasm, as the beautiful
booded animals are taken around the
circlet.
DR.. Hugh G. Van Pelt of Waterloo,
Iowa, is the judge of the prize blooded
stock this year. He was more than
agreeably surprised by the showing
made He was, however, in a measure
prepared for the excellence of Salt
River valley cattle by the reports he
had received from Frank Reed Sanders
who exhibited at Waterloo, Iowa, this
year DR.. Van Pelt is one of the best
judges of live stock in the United
States.
