Make Better Arrangements.
The show this year will be held in
the Inwood building. 3O9-311 s.
Michigan St. where the recent Elec-
trical show was held. Arrangements
will be made to care for a much
larger crowd than attended the
show last year and last year was the
best year that the show had ever
seen. Every exhibit is 10 be cOoped
free and in all-wire coOps which will
add 10 the attractiveness Of the dis
play
The birds will be judged by the
comparison system and prizes will
be given on all non-standard birds
rs well as standard. although only
the standard birds can compete for
the sweepstakes. All the prizes list
ed can be won at the one exhibit
ton and can be taken away by the
successful exhibitors after the show.
All exhibits will consist of not less
than two males and eight females of
the same variety.
That the South Bend show, which
last year was the second largest in
the state, is attracting attention is
shown by the fact that several eX-
hibitors at the big Chicago show
which closes on Jan. 10, have signi-
fed their intention of exhibiting in
this city. The fact that entries in
the South Bend show are so high
class is making exhibitors consider
winnings from here as being well
worth while.
