STOCK PAVILION
COMES NEXT
tXXWSTUUCTION OF IIU1LDING TO
COMMENCE AH SOON AS
POSSIHLE.
A Stock Sales Pavilion la to be
built on the Fair Grounds as soon as
the shares have been subscribed to
handlo the expense. That is the plan
of the Lincoln County Stock Sales
and Show Pavilion Co., as outlined
yesterday by Its officers. Subscrip
tions of stock were taken at the
banquet given by the Chamber of
Commerce to the Hereford Breeders
last night and a number of breeders
subscribed, some going the limit. The
total number of shares subscribed
last night was not given out.
The cost of the pavilion is esti
mated at about $6,000. This Is divid
ed into shares of $25 each with a
maximum of 10 shares for any one
breeder. One-half of each share Is to
be paid in cash and the balance on
September 1st. Other places where
similar pavilions mve been erected
have paid a good dividend the first
year, some paying as hign as 12
others not more than 7. Thus sub
scribing to this enterprise is not a
donation.
The plans have been made by the
agricultural engineers at the Uni
versity of Nebraska, Jroif the best
pavilions now erected and modified
by .the suggestions of' those who are
making a study of this matter. The
proposed building is to be 65 feet
in diameter, 1G feet high and will
seat about 1,000 people. It will be
admirably adapted to wrestling, box
ing and similar sports.
Business men are not ,to bo asked
to subscribe Tor stock unless It is
ahown that the breeders of live stocic
cannot carry the load. It was express
ly brought out at the banquet last
night that any kind of a breeder of
ire bid live stock is urged to take
rfr i tnnimioa hrfidr of
tonic. This Includes breeders or
horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry,
;tc.
Subscriptions can bo taken by Mr.
Kellogg at tho County Farm Bureau
headquarters, by Mr. Snyder at the
State Wrm or by Mr. Ilomlgh at the
Uodggarage. - '

CHANGE FROM MONGREL TO ITltK
HREII STOCK WAS NOT
EXPENSIVE
Presldont Davis of the Furnas Farm
Bureau was formerly the owner of
a flock of scrub chickens. One day
while attending a farm sale he saw
n bunch of Wyandottes. Tho fine
appearance of tho well bred chickens
so Impressed him that ho approached
tho owner and dickered for the entire
flock. On Ills way home he went by
town and learned the price of poultry.
That night he shut up his own chick
ens and the next morning took them
to tho poultry buyer. Thou ho went to
his neighbor and took the ontirc flock
off his hands. Ho now hns 125 standnid
bred chickens which tire a re-il asset
to his farm, and tho change from
scrubs cost him Just a $10 bill.
