THE FIRST ANNUAL LIVESTOCK
SHOW OPENED TO-DAY

N''N%s+SNa AtpAAA Botf ~
the fair grounds and see how Carter
county has progressed in the past few
years in the livestock industry.
There are many fine young animals
on display here that will be taken to
Oklahoma City for the livestock show
which opens next week. and Carter
and adjoining counties will more than
likely bring back several of the
prizes offered.
The officers of the Southern Okla
huma Livestock Association have
made a supreme effort to launch
this organization for the betterment
OF the stock business in southern Ok
lahoma, and they feel that their eff
forts will be crowned with success.
Secretary John SimpkinG, and all
officers OF the association are busy
today getting everything in shape for
the real opening of the show tomor-
row.
Many stockmen from other sections
of the state are expected to attend the
show, and the sale which is booked
for Friday will no doubt be well pat
ronized by those among them who
are preparing TO launch in the pure
bred livestock business.
The organizers Of the southern Ok
lahoma Livestock Association have
worked under many handicaps in
launching the first show, but they feel
that the reward to be gained will be
well worth the effort, and all off,
GERS and directors are grateful TO the
business men Of Ardmore who have
so Loyalty supported them.
Especial thanks is due the Ard
more Chamber of Commerce and its
secretary, James NJ Barron, for the
interest manifested in the livestock
show.
1t was through the effort of the
Chamber of Commerce and Mr.. Bar
ron that the money for prizes was
made possible, and every member of
the Southern Oklahoma Livestock AS
sociauon feels indebted TO the organi-
Zation for the whole-hearted support
il has given in this maiden effort of
the organization that promises so
much for the future of the livestock
business in southern Oklahoma.
Several local breeders are waiting
until late this afternoon before taxi
ing their stock to the grounds, but
as all entries must close tonight
everything will be in readiness for
the judges to begin work tomorrow
morning.
