v ratheF the Cattlemen's Association
should receive a bonus from the vari-
ols concessions. Some felt that since
the Cattlemen's celebration brough,
the crowd and made the event possible
they should receive some benefits.
Others felt that since all concessions
were TO be operated by local organiZa-
tons Of charitable or community-Serv-
Iug nature, that they should receive
the full proceeds minus a minimum fee
for the expenses of the general COM
mittee. Decision on this matter was
p0stponed.

general committee to collect conces-

that could b. pu, on that would en-
gage the attention OF the crowds-feed
them and amuse them in far better
style than with the old-time worn out
games Of the professional carnivals.
Under the head Of Food and Sales Con-
cegsions there will be opportunity for
stands TO sell carnival confetti, toy
balloons, Squakers. ticklers, canes,
pennants and sOuviners of all kinds.
3 Food stands should include hamburger,

peanuts, etc. Detailed rules for dividing
the food concessions among applicants
have yet to be decided upon.
Under the head Of the Skill Conccs-
sions will come the stands that are
equipped with opportunity to show
craftsmanship either by use of guns
or baseballs rings, etc. The gun club
viii likely put in a shooting gallery.
There are many varieties of the ring
toss and ball throw games. Then ar
cherry and the shuttle board and
horse shoes can be developed into in
teresting features. Those running
such stands will naturally award
prizes for hundred per cent shots, and
some of the stands may use the ever
popular kewpie dolls as lures.
The Exhibit Concessions will likely
be housed indoors, or under a tent
The exhibits of educational nature can
include materials from the Forestry

training, from the College art depart
ments, from the College domestic

monstrations and showing of the latest
devices for household and farm pur-

limit to what the merchants can do
along this line.
Under the head of Entertainments
and Shows will come the Merry-go-

ent stunts, as follows: Short minstrel
show, mock grand opera, a one-act
play, monologuist, fortune teller,
