This is the first time a President
has come TO our section of the cOun-
try, and we intend to show him how
we appreciate it," one Of the residents
said today.
The exhibition Of Tuesday will be
opened with a review of all those who
will participate in the days event.
Cowboys and cowgirls in their colorful
costumes, Indians in paint and feath-
cred headdresses, a crack troop of
Cavalry, and others in the roundup
outfit will pass before the President
and his wife, just to give them fore
taste of what they will see in the
fast action during the afternoon.
Sioux Indians, Too.
A band of Sioux Indians, from the
Pine Ridge agency, $50 miles away,
will assemble before the grandstand.
Chief Crazy Horse, their leader, will
present the Great White Father" with
a war bonnet, bestowed only upon
those in high places. The Indians then
will begin their oldtime war dance,
with their squaws beating the drums.
Then the contestants will do their
stuff" They will try to ride bucking
bronchos, steers just brought from the
range, will race wild horses, and will
give exhibitions of roping and fancy
doings with lariats. Most of the con.
testants are we'll known at the round
ups, rodeos, frontier day celebrations
and like events throughout the West.
They have developed something spe.
cial in their respective lines on the
ranches, have gone from the local af-
fairs into the next highest class,
finally landing in the big time" cir
cult.
They are we'll known here and have
their hackers, just as race horses have
on the tracks of the South and East,
and will be cheered to victory by their
partisans. Among the women partici-
pants will be Fox Hastings, from
down Fort Worth way" the only
woman bull-dogger in the country. A
bull-dogger has to throw himself or
herself from the horse, grab the horns
of steer going at full speed along the
track, and throw said steer on his
side, with all four feet and it's head
pointed the same way. This was done
in S45 seconds, which is going some.
Bull-dogging has been condemned bv
the humane societies as a cruel sport,
but fellows around here say that it is
the man who is in danger.
Might Break Leg.
"He might break a laig or have an
arm thrown out of joint, or most any
thing might happen to him." said one
of the cowboys.

who don't know cowmen. If there
are bad men" among them, it isn't
indicated by their voices, nor by their
actions. They are courtesy personified,
especially to tenderfeet. Amusement
may show in twinkling eyes, but
never by any curve of their lips.
Also among the riders will be Tad
Lucas, who comes from Amarillo.

Out Of character, as it were, the
women riders look about like other
folks. Miss Roach was pointed out
to a woman tourist today.

a blonde flapper.''
Maybe she is, but folks here say
she can do a mean act" in trick
riding.
