Interest ThrOug bout Entire West and
Southwest Continues to Grow as
Building Nears Completion
Interest in the American Royal at
the stock yards November Is to %
continues to grow. The entire West
and Southwest has come to look on
the new show in the new building as
being the Vests and Southwest's own
great Live Stock Show and will
patronize it accordingly. The steel
superstructure to carry the roof is in
place and the entire building with its
seven acres of floor space will be en-
closed within ten days and will be
ready for occupancy, complete in
every detail about thirty days before
the Royal is scheduled to open.
A great deal of care is being exer-
cised in selecting judges and superin-
tendents as the new Royal proposes
to make the 1922 exposition, the
opening event in the new building,
one that will set a pace for all shows
to come.
The complete list of judges and
superintendent will be announced
early next week, and will include
many of the most notable live stock
men in the country, men who know
how to handle live stock shows and
give the exhibitors service and as no
table an array Of men as ever passed
on cattle, horses, mules, hogs, sheep,
poultry and pet stock in any show
ring.
Entries in all individual classes of
cattle, swine, sheep, horses and mules
close October 10 and exhibitors
should take notice of this fact.
Entries are coming in from every
section of the country and the man
agement is laying out the floor plans
to conform to the interest that is be-
ing shown in each individual section.
The Poultry section will be a very
important division this year Great
activity is being shown and many en-
tries promised. H. L. Kempster, of
Missouri University, will be in charge
assisted by Chas. Swan, of Lansing,
Kansas, and Fred Kelm, of Seneca,
Kansas.
Complete arrangements have been
made for the Messiah chorus, the cur
tain raiser, that will be put on by the
Bethany OratoriO Society, Lindsborg,
.Kas., on Saturday night and Sunday
afternoon, November Is and 10, for
the dedication. of the New Exposition
Building. This is the biggest musical
event ever staged in Kansas City.
The industrial exhibition will be an
entire show in itself. Here will be
shown the best of modern farm APP
pliances and machinery and access
cries, everything that the farmer uses
with many objects of use in clothing
and foods. Domestic science ap-
pliances and materials will be stressed
and no event of a similar nature and
comparable to this one has ever been
put on in the Central West.
The American Royal with all its
phases will be a miniature world:
fair and the United States, Canads
and Mexico will participate in it thi.
year on a big scale.
There Will be something for every
man, woman and child that lives on {
farm, or is interested in farming, anC
the city folks viii find at the Amer
lean Royal this year something to in
terest them and something that ha
never been presented at any Amer
lean agricultural show before.
The music for the Royal is being
selected with care and will be boil
band and orchestra. The night horse
show events will be the most brillian
to be put on at any Central Western
show this season and even ecipsinl
the Madison Square Garden show il
New York City.
