ton in premiums for Shorthorns,
the National association would give
a ike amount, which will make. very
substantial purses to be competed
for.

ion Ii was matter OF being organic
ed and that he could see no reasol
why the demands OF such an asso

every business man In Ardmorc
who would receive benefit from sucl
an enterprise.
Mr.. Gillian during the course o
his remarks referred to what tn
pure bred livestock movement ha
accomplished for Garfield county, an
stated that the reason that Eni
was the center OF the livestock In
dustry for the northern section o
the state was because the bushes
men and stock breeders got toge,he
and organized just such an organiza
tion AS was being perfected In thi
county with the result that thou'
ands OF dollars are spent In Eni
annually at the stock show.
The annual sales conducted ther
such as are proposed here. Is tn
means OF bringing thousands OF do
lars to that city and county. and NJ
Gillian said THAT Carter county coul'
and would be to the southern pal
Of the state what the city OF Eni
and Garfield county was to IN
northern section, II every stockma
and business man would suppoi
the movement and put Carter eoun,
and southern Oklahoma on the pun
bred map OF the nation.
