For Week.

PERTAINING exhibition of the Ma
itional Feeders and Breeders
Show is booked for March 10 to
III, inclusive, in the big Coli
Iseum at Fort Worth. Already
sufficient entries have been
made and enough amusement
features booked to guarantee a
Ishow more than a third larger
than any previous performance.
Comparisons are not always
Iproof, but often times most con-
lvincing. Here is one that should
lprove the veracity of the asser-
Ition of increased size: Last
Iyear the pens for the housing
Iof the native cattle contained
but $50 head Of cattle. This
Iyear the barns and pens have
Iheen increased to accommodate
1000 cattle. Every foot of
available space has been taken
i'm the new structures. These
figures mean that this one di-
vision has been more than
doubled.
But, the increase has not
stopped in one division, for the
call for more room has come
from every department of the
big show. The pig, horse, jack
and mule and poultry depart
ments have demanded more
space. The entertaining fea-
Iture, the fun provokers, have
demanded more space and the
Ishow management has oeen
forced to ~confiscate every foot
of ground in the district Of the
live stock yards and Coliseum
The Roundup viii be more
than double the size Of last
years performance. Heavy
prizes have been hung up and
broncho busters and cowgirls
are coming from every section
iof the West. The carnival fea
lures are to be more numerous
and the hundreds Of other en-.
te%rtainlng stunts will turn the
Coliseum grounds into a giant
circus. The management has
decreed that there must be fun
and money is being spent to
give the kind Of an entertain
ment cattlemen, city people and
country folks most enjoy. There
is to be something for every
one and plenty Of that some
thing.
The breeders of fine cattle,
horses and hogs viii participate
in a fund of $4,000. Besides
this cash fund the packing
houses and breeders associa-
tons will give substantial
prizes. Nearly $4,000 in cash
and prizes will be distributed
among the participants in the
Roundup. Considering ali
prizes more than $4,000 will
be distributed by the fat stock
show management during the
week.

ters are booking special at
