ANNUAL APRIL
STOCK PARADE
Be POSTPONED
CONDITIONS ARE SUCH THAT DR..
WOODBRIDGE DEEMED IT BEST
: NOT TO ATTEMPTlT.
GREATER SHOW This FALL
Old Custom Not Abandoned, But As
Soon as Conditions Become Normal
VIII be Taken up Asain--PossibIy
Next Year.

Columbia will have her first Mon
day in April stock show day just as
usual, but without the parade. This
has been determined by those who
have labored every year to make this
annual event big success and credit
to the county.
DIR. Woodbridge in advising with his
assistants suggested that the parade
be postponed until this fall at which
time the annual corn show and stock
day be combined and make big af-
\ fair of all events. There were several
/ reasons given why it was thought not
advisable to attempt parade this
| first Monday in April, and foremost
was the fact that to have success
"ful parade it requires that large num-
bers OF mules and draft horses be
brought to- town and either driven to
wagons orr ridden BY their OWNERS.
This, would in q great measure impede
\ the work upon the farms, and with
the labor situation on the farms as
II now exists, every day possible is
needed to get the seed crop in and
then cultivate it.
This fall after the crops are all
made, and the farmers are waiting
for further ripening, there is a space
OF about three or four weeks on the
farm that the farmers have to devote
to leisure, or call their own, and then
the big show can be held.
The postponement Of the parade
this April, does not by any means
mean that the old custom has been
abandoned. Far from 1t. Just as soon
as conditions get back to normal it
will be revived, and possibly next
year will see the big parade as usual.
There will be nothing to prevent
the owners of stations and jacks
from bringing them to town and ex-
hibiting them. The crowds will be
here as usual. And il farmer has a
mule, q saddle animal, or any other
kind of an animal he wants to show
and offer for sale, he can bring them
on and be assured that there will be
buyers here for them.

the Germans have named the price
and the representatives of all the pow
ers have shaken hands over a one
sided bargain. After the worst is
over. apparently the American ENJOYS
have come back to Washington with
the air OF men who have signed away
their self-respect. They have smiled
sheepishly to the only cheering sophis-
try they can think of: 1T was pretty
bad--but we're much better of than

had to sit by and see seaports. mineral
