The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1915-09-10

A daily feature of the American
Royal Live Stock Show and Kansas
City Horse Show, which will be held
in Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo-.
October 4 to 8, will be the parade of
prize-winning cattle. This parade
alone will afford a liberal education
in cattle quality to anyone who is in
terested in the beef or dairy breeds.
There will in all probability be 500
head Of cattle in the great arena in
Convention Hall during these parades
and their aggregate value will be ap-
proximately half a million dollars.
The very best individuals, represent
ing the most approved types of the
leading beef and dairy breeds, prize
winners at the leading shows of two
continents, will be seen in these
parades. Nowhere else this year will

the opportunity be offered Of seeing
so many prize-winning cattle in one
ring. One of the features of the show
win be the four competitions, one by
each of the four beef breeds, for valu-
able trophies offered for the best ten
head shown by one exhibitor. 1t is
expected that these competitions will
bring 100 head of the most valuable
beef cattle in the United States into
the ring at n time. Another inter
esting feature will be a number OF
prize winners at the leading English
shows this year. These cattle have
recently been imported and will be
shown for the first time at the Amer
lean Royal. This will afford a good
opportunity for the comparison of
English and American types of beef
cattle.

"Bandy" and Tango Biggest
and Littlest Members of the
Ringling Zoo.

Because they are introducing
more new features than ever
before in the history of their
circus, Ringing Brothers have
the present years tour
a season of novelty and limo
vations,"

dancing girls. Train loads of
special scenery, electrical effects
and gorgeous costumes are used
in the spectacle. These are
fashioned by the most expert of
European artists, mechanics and
designers. 1t is a production in
which the characters of a period
one thousand years before the
Christian era are made to live
again amid the splendor which
surround Solomon in all his
glory"
The spectacle is given in the
main tent and precedes two
hours of arenic display, which
introduces hundreds of artists of
skill and daring. Fully 80 per
cent of these performers are
making their first tour of Amer

ibrists, acrobats, jugglers and
other champions. There are
so clowns, including the most
noted of European pantomim-

the beef breeds. The carlot display of
feeding cattle, all Of them high grade,
will likewise be Of interest to every
farmer and feeder. The exhibit Of
dairy cattle, and the ~seven-day milk

produces in the way Of saddle and
light and heavy harness horses. The
poultry show. with its exhibit Of up
wards Of 1900 specimens OF the lead
ing breeds, will be another magnet

The American Royal Live Stock
Show, held annually at Kansas City,
Mo-, occupies an unique place among
live stock exhibitions. There is no
other institution like it in that it is
an exhibit of purebred breeding stock
conducted for and by breeders of pure
bred live stock, who themselves fur
nish the prize money for which they
compete. This explains the fact that
the aggregate of the prizes offered at
the American Royal is greater than
those offered on like classes at any
other show in the world, and at the
same time no entry fees are charged,
no subsidies have ever been received
from the state, and a popular admis-
sion price has been maintained. The

Economy Breaks Down in Albany.

Neither the Depa rtment of Efficiency

Fire Marshal Is worth preserving, and
this fact will protect the Republican
majority In the Assembly from any
serious criticism for the summary
methods used In passing the bills for
their suppression. Whatever the Econ

do: the Fire Marshals duties should

economy, made palatable to them by
consideration OF the circumstance that
incidentally they are turning a number
Of Democrats out.
But in the proposed reorganization

Another plan. and one which I submit
