N EVER THING
ALL THE TRADITIONAL CARNI-
VAL STUNTS TO BE AT STOCK

Red Cross Auxiliaries to Keep Things
Humming With Many Big At
fractions

Gee, fellers! It's goin' to be like
the days of real sport! C'm on over,
Skinnay! Wait till you hear what
there's goin' to be at the stock show
next week parades and fat lady,
n everything!
The Red Cross auxiliaries of Col
vile and the country branches are
going to keep things humming during
the livestock show in Colville Octo-
ber 2-4. Five big amusement tents
in the business district are going to
furnish entertainment which will rival
professional carnival troupes. There
will be a dance, street parade,
speakers stand and Red Cross auc-
ton sales, while the country branches
of the Red Cross are going to open
the doors of the Bair building with a
Harvest Festival for the big attrac-
ton. Coffee and sandwiches are to
no one need go hungry while at the
stock show.
Lots of Entertainment
The nutbrown Hawaiians with their
shredded wheat costumes and ukeleles
in one of the amusement tents, ex-
pect to hold their own in admission
fees against the big vaudeville show
in one of the other canvas houses,
while the honest-to-goodness clark
ers" intend to see that no one misses
viewing "Viola," the fattest lady in
America, and "Cora," the thin lady
who looks like crack in the sidewalk
when she falls down. All who would
know the mysteries of the future
will be regaled at the fortune-telling
tent and there is another big feature
which the committee refuses to di-
vulge. A merry-go-round and ferris
wheel may be added to the carnival
features of the stock show, for the
kiddies will not think it real fair
without them.
Chance to Hit Kaiser
The entertainment at the stock
show will offer those who attend an
opportunity to "hit the kaiser" in
more ways than one. The money
which will be turned in to the Red
Cross will surely mean slam at the
kaiser, but those who would like to
do it in more direct manner will be
given the chance to try their skill in
hurling little wooden balls at the face
of the "Beast of Berlin"
Every one ought to donate some
thing in either materials or labor to
help the Red Cross "put over" this
big entertainment and if there is any
thing you can offer, let the commit
tees know. Ideas, articles of all
varieties, food, time, all are necessary
and it's up to every one to help. What
will you do?
The Fifth Show
The Stevens County Livestock AS
| sociation announces that the premium
list of the fifth annual meeting is put
in the hands of the stock men and
members with the feeling that never
in the history Of the association or
organization have its affairs been in
such a flourishing condition, and
never have the prospects for attain
ing its purposes been so promising.
The organization was originally
formed for the purpose of advancing
the livestock interest Of the four
northeastern counties in every way
possible. One side of it's work is
educational, and since the first year
Of it's great annual exhibitions and
sales, its activities have met with
success far beyond it's hopes. Here
brother stockmen meet and compare
notes and discuss all the various prob
lens Of livestock industry. The
grower is given practical demon
stration of the type of animal re-
quired by the market. Expert judges
explain why. one individual is
placed ahead OF the other IN the dl1-
ferent classes, and by these means,
as well as in the various student
Judging contests, the young people
derive information of value.
Institute Same Days
The county teachers institute will
be held in Colville on the same dates
as the show and one day is to be fea-
tured by lectures on judging stock.
This feature is in charge of President
Joe Turner, County Agriculturist E.
C. Durdle and Prof. E. E. Elliott of
the high school agricultural depart
ment. Premium lists have been is
sued and may be obtained from the
banks or Earle T. Gates, secretary.
