cation by the administration. of this

tions to be issued controlling this i'm

would be supplied.
1t was brot out at this meeting that
the market for cows was very poor

to an amount necessary to finance
the live stock interests.
The banks of the county assure the
stockmen that they have absolutely no
reason, to consider changing their pol
icy of past years. which has always
been very liberal in this class of loans
and, give their assurance that the
same J. policy will be continued and
those having loaned need not be afraid
that their interest will not be guard
ed.
This assurance coming from our fl
nancial institutions should stimulate
heavy increase in the stock pro-
duetion in this section and the gov
ernment is looking to the stock pro-
ducers to assist them in every way
possible in meeting the food situ-
alton, not only for our own boys in
the trenches. but also for our allies

Westminster Show
Attracts Big Entry

All signs point to a splendid society
and sporting success for the forty
second annual dog show of the West
minister Kennel Club, all the profits
Of which will be donated to the Amer
lean Red Cross The dogs nominated
total 1876. making by duplication an
aggregate entry of 2,603. The actual
nomination of dogs is $50 less than
for last years show, but ahead by
about the same total of the 1915 show.
Although the West and Canada are
we'll represented, the falling off from
last year is ascribed to a shortage of
entries from the Middle West and the
Dominion, yet the aggregate is very
satisfactory to the Westminster COM
mlttee and is a guarantee that the Am
crlcan Red Cross will receive SUBJ
stantial return from the profits.
A benchng Of 1896, which will be
the case if all the actual dogs named
and paid for are in competition,
means that under the now system of
counting the championship points,
thirty-nine Of the fifty-seven breeds
having a classification will be five
point breeds toward title, while Of
the nineteen to fall short of the max
lmum of five points, there are four
Doberman Pinschers, French BULLDOGS,
smooth fox terriers and Pekingese-
that just fail 10 pass the four point
mark
Under the old rule, every dog TO
win winners class at the Westmin-
ster Kennel Club show, as the points
were determined by the aggregate en-
try, received five points.
