 SHEEP.
 The Aubrey Investment Company deserves special mention in regard to the sheep exhibit, its display contain ing Rambouillet, Catswald, Persian. Karikule and different crosses which are proving to be good for range pur- poses. They won first and second in all classes. This company has always been large exhibitors at the State Fair and last year won the silver loving cup offered by the Pure Bred Livestock Breeders for the best indi- vidual in the sheep and hog depart ments. This cup was won on its Rambouillet eve.
 The Persian or "Fat Tails" as they are often called, attracted great attcn- ton. They are very hardy sheep and well suited to the ranges of Northern Arizona. Many also had the pleasure of seeing for the first time the famous Karikule sheep from which is secured the high grade fur that is so much in demand. Woman's and School Displays.
