THE LAST CHANCE.
A larger attendance is merited at
the poultry and pet stock show and it
is hoped that tonight the Boise public
will turn out in force and see the fine
display of high class poultry, the
greatest rabbit show ever staged in
the northwest and the excellent dogs
shown at the bench show.
The show will close tonight at 10
o'clock and until that hour none of
the exhibits will be removed.
A great deal of the success of the
show this year is due to the interest
and support given by Miss Freida
Beethman of Pardee. north Idaho.
Every year since it's organization, she
has brought exhibits here from the
north and assisted the officers in stag
ing the show.
The rabbit exhibitors are so well
pleased with the interest shown in
their exhibits, that plans are now I'M
der way to hold rabbit show in Boise
in May which will be free to the pub
lie.
RABBIT DINNER.
The rabbit dinner at the Y. NJ. C. A.,
last evening was the big social fea-
ture in connection with the show this
year. More than 1900 guests were
served with delicious broled rabbit,
mashed potatoes. salad. coffee. bread,
butter and cake all for % cents.
The dinner was planned by w. w.
Kent, Judge Willard White, Mrs. f. w.
Barber, Minnie Paul and Mrs. Mar
garet Houck It's purpose was to ac-
quaint the public with the delicious
taste of rabbit in order that ii might
become more generally used as meat,
thus conserving other meats to send
abroad. Eighty rabbits were donated
by members of the Idaho Rabbit and
Pet Stock association for the dinner
and they were all consumed Many
who wished tickets were unable to get
them as those in charge saw the sup
plies would be exhausted by the time
all who had purchased were fed.
Judge Willard White presided as
Governor Alexander was
an honored guest at the dinner and
made an informal address. Rev. Will
sic Martin spoke briefly, paying
to the association which
put on the spread. Mrs. Carl Williams,
wife of the editor of the Northwest
Poultry Journal. favored the crowd
with a reading which was much en-
joyed.
The funds from the dinner were do
mated TO the Y. NJ c. A. war work fund
