Interest in Stock Show.

The premium list for the annual Ma
tional Westeren Stock Show, to be held
during the week Of January 1922.
1916, has just been issued. The aban-
donment Of the Stock Show last winter
because Of the cattle contagion in the
east has made the stockmen of the west
realize the importance of this annual
event to their business. Plans are be-
ing made for larger Show than ever
in January. Western cattlemen are
getting back into the breeding bust
ness. Hle scarcity of cattle all over
the country is making it imperative
that the stockmen of the west, who
heretofore have been depending upon
the South for steers. should get into
the breeding game themselves The
business end of the coming Show will
therefore, attract much more atten-
tion than ever before, owing to the
unsual demand for breeding cattle.
There will be many new features
connected with the next Show and ev-
cry section of the west is expected to
be represented in the exhibits.

Fathers Day

In Japan they observe a Boys day
by hanging out carp flags and giving
the little fellows plenty of toy soldiers
also Girls day when each little Miss
is presented with a Japanese doll. Here
in America we have Mothers day.
Cartoonists draw sentimental cartoons
about her: the preacher makes some
mention of home without a mother,
and the tired business man, If he
thinks Of it, brings home dollars
worth of cut flowers. Without wishing
unnecessarily to add to our list of holi-
days, we suggest a Fathers day, with
program somewhat as follows: Dad
will be allowed to lie abed until 10
O'Clock. reading the sporting sheet and
smoking cigarettes. after which time a
"mawnin's mawnin" followed by buck
wheats and steak will be served. The
phonograph will then play Whats

ghter of the house will recite Father.
