TROY Weekly News J

Chairman Ahler of the Live Stock
Association of the fair called the as
sociation together Friday evening and
divulged plan growing out of con-
j versation with some of the big live
stock men Of the county, pointing to
the fact that they may take more than
the usual interest in the fair this fall
and place some of their best stock in
the exhibits. 1t has become we'll
nigh settled that the county fair will
not be held and these men are look
ing for chance to exhibit and hold
sales of stock wherever the opportun-
ity is given. This was intimated to
Mr.. Ahler in a recent talk with some
of these men, notably among them
being ~ Williamson of the Ennis
fallen farm west of Moscow. Mr.. Will
hanson has just returned from the ma
tional meeting of live stock men in
Chicago, and has brought home some
more fine stock to add to his herd. He
expressed himself as being highly in
favor of exhibiting at Troy and told
of several others who would probably
do so. Mr.. Ahler put the matter be-
fore the board of directors of the fair
and they took the matter up enthusi-
astically Plans for housing the stock
were discussed and committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Ahler, Kellberg,
and T. A. Mykelbust were chosen to
take the matter up with the stock
breeders mentioned. From now on
until the big fall event is over the
men interested purpose to keep on the +
job all the time. The dates were fixed
for the fair on September 1929, 80,
and the publicity campaign was or
dered to begin at once. G. II. Rice
was appointed as chairman of this
to take the place of B. c.
Johnson.
Tuesday afternoon the committee
visited the Ennisfallen Ranch of Mr.
and received the assurance
that he would bring some of his best
Shorthorns here for exhibition and
would also boost the fair among other
stock breeders before that time.
