From the time that Kog Horn Clan-

Thursday eveninis and declared the
i-ust Annual Y M. H. A. Round-1'p
ami Rodeo open, until the lam steer
whs bull-dogged, the Untile uf the
lourteenth event, there whs excite-
ment enough to satisfy the cravings
of the moat adventurous spirit.
Keen but friendly rivalry wan in ev-
idence and when a contestant would
go out in the daring trials there was
whooping and shouting from his or her
irtends which were also rivals urging
lach one on to their best efforts and
lending all the encouragement possl-
ble. and when one failed and came
back to the group of westerners
awaiting their turn, the rivals In the
t vent in which one had fulled were
the tlrst to offer sympathy. However,
lowhoya are not much on dishing out
' > mpat h.v in words or on receiving
lie same and when one says to the
Icl'ealed rival. "Too Had." he puts a
caning to the words that makes
litem full, and they do not sound emp-
hut carry with them the knowledge

The Sunday Schol Hoard met Mon-

the Sunday school. Committees were
appointed and dates were placed for

The contest between the classes for

pointed when the lilblc class took the
Manner away from them last Sunday.
Like little gentlemen that they are,
they smiled but the glean in their
eyes said "We'll get It away from

During the convention. Prof. Kings-
ley, with his class of boys, demon-
strated some ways of clinching the '
lessons, and keeping the Interest i

Wild Steer Bulldogging.
Then came the si mil that made Ihc
spectators hold their breath the wild
sieer liuildogglnK, and il is the opinion
ol ihc writer that no wielder of pen or
pencil can fully portray this sensa
liotial leal Wild long horn steers
were turned out and the cowboys sped
after them making wild leaps front
i lie saddle to the steer's horns when
ihey were lussed about, Hrst on top
of the steer's horns ilioii undertiealh
his feel, next they would be on their
back In front of the maddened steer
with horns playing dangerously near
ihe heart and ribs, and then with
arms entwined around the animal's
horns Ihey would secure the headlock,
horn lock hammertoe k, or some other
scientific steer-wrestilng hold, and
Mr. Steer would be laid upon ills side
Curley Orllllth drew an exception
ally vicious steer and was carried
around the arena fully two minutes
on the steer's horns, Jammed Into the
fence and finally had lo lurn the ani-
mal loose, but he stayed with tin
longhorn until lie had exhausted all
his strength, unmindful of the Injur-
ies he had received when Jammed Into
the fence and fully live minutes after
the steer had been turned loose Cur
ley toppled over in the arena and was
carried to the hospital in Massie's am
balance, hut as the cowboys say
"Hospital beds were not made for
cowboys," and 30 minutes after lltey
had allotted Curley a bed in the lios
(dial he was again on the street. Slim
Caske.v, one of the best of the bull-
doggers, also drew a little loo much
iiv .mil made slow lime, while Oklttlto
pa Curley was the sim of this event
throwing the wild one in seventeen
seconds
When the last steer was bulldogged
tin re was a sigh ol relief from the an
dlence and ihe crowd llled out, wend
iii« their way lo their respective
homes, each lotid in his praise of the
most wonderful display ol horseman-
ship. recklessness and daring people
and wild animals ever seen in this
country. Nothing but a Hood ■•■•an
keep the Round-lip from being a suc-
cess. It's Ihe real thing, and McKin-
ney likes real things, and are really
indebted to the Young Men's Huslness
Association and Messrs. Clancy and

Itound-tJp and Rodeo."

The following is a copy of a resolu-
tion passed by the Hoard of Directors
of the Federal International Hanking
Company ,at their meeting In New
Orleans on April 9, I #21.
Whereas, the very large umouiit of
cotton grown last year and previous
years now estimated ut from eight to
ten million bales, to he carried ovei
Into the new cotton year beginning
August 1st has had a depressing effect
and is slill holding down the price of
cottonfl and;
W hereas, from present Indications it
is believed that the greatly reduced
buying powers of the world Will not be
able to consume much. If any more
cotton the coming yeur than consum-
ed t his year, and;
Whereas, the only apparent hope to
maintain the price for the present
stock, and to secure a fair price for
the next crop, Is to produce a small
crop thlu year;
Now therefore be It resolved by the
I >li odors of the Federal International
Hanking Company, that we believe
the efforts to Induce the cotton plant-
ers to redtiei tin1 acreage In cotton
t out lo he planted. Is now of p irn-
tnount Imoprtance I othe South, and
that we believe the redllcllOU should
not less tha nbe thirty-live percent,
and;
Kosolveil further, that acopy of this
• evolution ho mailed to each stock-
holder of our company with the re-
quest that they use their Influence at
once to reeife all the cooperation nec-
is-eirv, looking to the production of
n new crop of cotton, which together
with the carry over, will command ft
reasonable price.
