Cook, President, and a ma- jority of the board of directors of the Butler Commercial Club, on Monday evening signed the contracts with the State Poultry Board which assures for Butler the Southwest District State Poultry Show to be held Janu- ary 2nd to 5th, 1912. Mr. Cook and the members of the board of directors ave been untiring in their efforts to secure the State show for Butler and the decision of the board awarding the show to this city was a well won victory for these gentlemen in view of the fact that many of the larger cities in the : | district made a hard fight for the prize. The contract provides that Butler furnish building, fuel, light, attend- ants, etc., and pay a bonus of $250. The State Poultry Board will furnish prizes, coops, feed, freight and offi- cers of the show. They will also print and distribute the catalogs. Mrs. A. R.
