A merchants institute is a series

A merchants institute conducted

Here are a few samples of what hap

Salespeople sell more because they

PLANS TO HAVE A @
POULTRY SHOW, TOO
Decided That One Would Be Held
There on February 8, o
and 10.

Plains, Kan, Dec 23-At a meet
ing of the poultrymen, G. w. Roberts
was elected president, and w. w.
Coons secretary, Of the poultry show
to be held here February 8, 8 and 10.
It will be held in the Roberts building,
given free for that purpose.
Exhibition birds will be brought in
the previous day and the show will
open at $3.50 a. m.
The judging will begin the morning
of the second day and continue until
finished. 1t is expected that uniform
cooping will be secured and that ex-
hibitors will only need to use their
own coops in transporting birds to
the show. Three ribbons will be
awarded to pens of cockerels and
three to pens of pullets, also to best
cock and three hens, single cokerel,
single pullet and single hen. No bird
which completes in the pen class may
be entered as singles, There will be
class of capons and those desiring
to sell capons at this time would do
well to ship comparatively.
The secretary must have notice of
all entries by February in order to
provide coops in plenty. All birds
entered must be leg branded. No en-
try fee will be charged and the Cham
Der of Commerce will provide feed
for birds and night Waterman.
In connection with the show will be
held cockerel show and sale will
be held on Saturday as well as giving
those who desire an opportunity to
exchange birds to head their nocks.
This exchange and perhaps the sale
will be an annual affair.
