First annual Sale and
Shoe, of Boys and Girls
Guernsey Calf ClMi

|
Guernsey Calf Clnl
The first annual snow and sale O.
re Ward County Boys and Girls
uernsey Calf Club was held at tn
9Th E. Lenton barn in this city Sat
rdav afternoon. While the crowd
was not as large as expected, the show
was a complete success and the sale
was very fair. 1t appears that the
young folks know what good Guern-
sew stock is worth and rather than
sell for what they considered lower
price than they ought to bring, bought
the stock themselves, as they We're
privileged to do, according to the
agreements when they took charge OF
the heifers a year ago.
The heifers Of year ago have de-
veloped into splendid cows and many
Of them were shown with calf at side.
1t will be remembered that about a
year ago, Major Person, president Of
The Union National Bank, o. X. Spires
and 3. B. Mouck made trip to Wis
consin, buying fine bunch OF high
grade Guernsey heifers which were
sold to the boys and girls in the calf
club on time, at cost. 1t was done
with the understanding that they were
to be kept for a year. The heifers
were all bred to registered sires be-
fore being shipped to Minot. The
boys and girls accepted these heifers
with the understanding that they
were to be brot into the show and sale
a wear later and there to be offered
for sale.
:, Miles Scribner, president of the
club, just prior to the sale, made a
short address, giving these men cred
it for what they had done.
Major Person made some demarks
saying that any club member can car
nv the paper longer if desired or buy
more stock on the same basis as far
as the Union National Bank is con-
cerned and he said he had no doubt
the other banks would do the same.
it is big day for Ward county, he
said, and predicted that the boys and
girls would yet show their parents how
to raise high grade stock.
o. X. Spires, B. B. Mouck and John
Sorensen were present and assisted
in the sale. Col. Geo. State, we'll
known auctioneer, offered his services
to the club free and made good
record with the sale.
