to which he attributes floggngs and
other mob outrages, but it was not
without violent protest that state khan
officials decided to bow to his utima-

Grand Dragon n. c. Jewett made it
plain that only the governors threat
of marital law for communities in
which masked demonstrations were
held led to the decision to discard
robes and hoods in public.
A khan meeting near Bristow last
night was the first TO unmask under
the governors orders. sour robes have

The man singer proved to the crowd
that he could not only sing but
could also whistle.
The program was especially well
arranged and the speakers were en-
tertaining as well as instructive. All
seemed to have an unlimited supply
OF jokes and anecdotes which were
greatly appreciated by those attend
ing and which did much toward
adding the spice to the program.
X. X. Michel acted as toast
master. He called attention to the
fact that most OF the speakers at
this tenth annual banquet were men
who were travelling all over the
United States and were well in
formed with conditions elsewhere.
Mr.. Mitchell said he firmly believed
that the farmer like any other bust

pavilion was crowded this year.
Wednesday was spent In judging
the stock. The boys judging teams
competed In the morning. A good
sized crowd was present for the first
day and much interest was shown In
watching the judging.
At II o'clock Thursday morning
u parade of the stock was staged.
This was followed by the dedica-
tion OF the new show pavilion.
a. II. Webster. president OF the
association presided. He gave a
brief history OF the. show. He said
the first show consisted of three
pens OF stock. One pen had q few
hogs, the second u scrub sheep and
the third cross bred Hereford
Jersey COW. He told of the nation
wide advertising which the II. o.
G. stock show received during the
war when the Red Cross workers
raised at one annual three day ex-
hibit raised $4,000. lie told of
the buck sheep which was auctioned
off Tor sI250 and OF the bull calf
which brought $500 all of which
went TO the Red Cross.
The president explained briefly
how the show had outgrown tents
and to raise the necessary money
for the pavilion. life membershi ips
OF 500 each were sold. He pointed
out that more show room would be
needed and that the money would
be raised by the selling OF life
memberships to the San Luis Valley
II. o. g. stock show association.
Mr.. Webster concluded his speech
by saying that they were mighty
proud OF the show and the building.
The Journal will add that the com.
munity is proud OF Mr.. Webster for
no one man deserves more credit
for the success Of the whole under
taking than Mr.. Webster. During
times when things did not look so
well for the show he kept up his
courage and inspired his fellow
stock show workers.

speaker. Everything depends upon
