PEOPLES BANK CALF CLUB
100 Holstein Calves Distributed to
the Boys and. Girls of Bates
County,

Calf Clubs have become very popu-
lar in different parts OF the country !
in the last year, and the officers CT
the Peoples-Rank- of this city com
cluded that if it was good thing for
other places it would be good for
Bates county. They investigated the
workings of the clubs in different To-
calities; how the calves were pro-
cured, how distributed and which
breed of cattle would be best suited
to Bates county.
After going into the matter thor
oughly, they decided that the Hol-
stems, being perhaps the largest milk
producers and also good beef cattle
we're best adapted to the Bates county
farmer and stock man.
After formulating a plan for the
distribution of the calves. the next
step was to find out how many boys
and girls were ambitious enough to
want to take one of the calves and
raise it. They explained their plan
through the newspapers. and to their
patrons at the b,nE. and in short
time the applications began TO pour II
and they. found that the scheme was
taking like wild fire and a dealer was
Instructed to buy 100 of thes finest
Holstein heifer calves and ship them
to Butler.
They were due to arrive Saturday
and at II o'clock on that day the
Young cattle men (and women) AMI
their parents met at the opera house
where Mr. Denton, cashier OF the
bank. explained the workings OF the
club, its rules, etc DIR. Christy, who
is booster for fine cattle, and es-
pecially Holsteins, made br'et ad-
dress. T.. G. Bennett. Missouri Dairy
Commissioner. was present and dciW-
cred very instructive address on
dairy cattle.
The members OF the club were then
taken to the Ohio street NJ. T.. church
where a dinner was served by the
ladies of that church.
The calves, each in a separate crate,
arrived on the /: 10 train. The crates
were placed on wagons and led by the
Butler band, proceeded up town and
around the square to the bank, where
the distribution took place and 100
Bates county boys and girls were
made happy by the possession OF a
beautiful spotted Holstein heifer calf.
