was told that Red Cross socks were
sold to lumberjacks and so to dis
prove the story enclosed a note with
pair Of socks asking the soldier
who received them to write to her.
The letter she received in answer to
her note proves not only that the
socks are going to the soldier boys
but also as announced recently the
supplies furnished by the Northern
Division are going to the soldiers
from this section of the country.
The following fine letter is self-ex-
planatOry:
Friend Mrs. TOwner:
I found your little note in the pair
of socks that we're issued to me and
will try and grant your wish.
The people are certainly good to
us soldier boys and we surely appre-
ciate it, 1t gives us the right spirit
to be in touch with so many kind
and good people and we surely find
them out here.

you around the camp if you ever
come down here.

STEVENS COUNTY MEN
ATTEND CHICAGO SHOW
international Live Stock Exposition
at Chicago Was Best in
History

Messrs. P. S. Jordan and c. F.
Kirk of Morris and R. w. Keeler, OF
Chokio, returned last week from Chi
cago, where they had been to attend
the great International Live Stock
Exposition. Prof. Jordan went as
the official representative of the Min
nesota Shorthorn Breeders Associa-
ton, and was accompanied by his
wife
The show this year broke all pre-
vious records for attendance, quality
and quantity of exhibits and price
valuation. Even more than the
usual great interest was shown at
tie, horses, sheep and swine because
of the tremendous demand that they
will be called on to supply, from all
present indications, for the next few
years.
The show was an international ex-
hibit, entries coming from every
state in the union, from eastern Can
ada and the Northwest provinces
and from Argentina. Never had SO
many breeders gathered together,
and never have greater crowds of
deeply interested spectators been
present, than at the exposition this
year. All of the animals present
were said to be of a state fair stand
ard and the average excellence ran
beyond record.
The showing of the Shorthorns
presented a particularly pleasing
spectacle. The Herefords we're we'll
represented and Standard Lad 4th, a
Hereford steer owned by the Uni
veristy of Minnesota, took first prize
in senior yearling class. Purdue
University offered 2-year old
Shorthorn steer. Merry Monarch,
for sale and he was bought by James
Brown, head buyer for Armour and
Co. He reconsigned the animal and
he was bought by Mr.. Armour for
S3,381, who turned the money over
to the Red Cross.
The sales took on recOrd-break-
ing character and the champion
Hereford bull Ardmore sold for
$31, 900. Other Shorthorns sold for
$4,000, and some Angus breeds
brought $4,000.
This years show of horses was the
