HAND COUNTY
CLUB EXHIBIT
Win Many Ribbons and Cash Prizes
At State Fair

Thru the benevolent and enterpris-
Ing county commissioners Of Hand
County who appropriated $500 from
the general county fund. a few enter
prising breeders. and lastly but not
least, the various Danks who nave
lent their money and good will to
boys and girls to purchase pure bred
stock, it was possible to hold a club
exhibit, of boys and girls club stock
and TO offer ribbons and small money
| prizes to the winning contestants as
well as educational trips to the State
Fair at Huron and the Interstate Fair
at Sioux City.
Since there la no place in Miller
available In which to hold this exhibit
it was necessary to hold II in the
sale pavilion in st. Lawrence, where
Facilities were offered for the hand
ling of the stock.
Twenty-eight pure bred cows and
twenty calves representing the three
main beef breeds. viz, Shorthorn,
Hereford, and Aberdeen Angus, are
owned in the county by club young
sters but not nearly all of them ex-
hibited as was agreed upon when the
| stock was placed in the hands of the
boys and girls
The reason why many of them were
not exhibited may be readily explain
ed by the fact that on this particular
day, September 6. many of the fathers
| were engaged in road work or haying
or in many other respects were much
too husily engaged to assist their boys
and girls to bring his animal to st.
Lawrence where he or she would have
the opportunity to compete with the
othor boys and girls for blue ribbons
and trips to the State Fair which
every boy and girl covets. Surely one
could not spend a day more ~profitably
than in helping his boy or girl to ex-
hibit their stock. II is a very evident
fact that some OF the parents OF club
boys and girls were afraid that THEN
.aUfsl boys and girls would attain too
much publicity with their live stock
and it would cost them too much
should they desire To buy the stock
when il is put up for sale. Let us as
sist the club members every way that
we can. Ask any boy or girl that won
a ribbon at ST. Lawrence or at the
State Fair, how much he or she thinks
of it and o will readily see how
they cherish those awards
