LET HARDWARE COMPANY
Dallas, Texas. — The south-
western champion cowboy contest
will be staged at the State Fair of
Texas, Oct. 7 to 22, when the best
cow hands in the entire country
as well as many others from the
southwest will compete for the
$7,000 in cash purses and the
silver mounted saddle trophies,
it lias been announced here by
Otto Herold, president of the ex-
position.
The southwestern champion
cowboy contest will be produced
and presented in the live stock
arena by Mike Banes of Chicago,
one of the best known rodeo pro-
ducers in the entire country, who
has named his managers for the
show, Joe It. Greer and .Candy
Tammer. These two managers
are widely known both as rodeo
contestants and managers. Barnes
produced the rodeo contests held
at the 1930 and 1931 expositions
of the State Fair of Texas.
The saddle trophies will be
awarded in the bronc riding, calf
roping, steer riding and steer
buldogging events. Winners of
the contest features will also re-
ceive the title of southwestern
champion. The saddle trophies
will be awarded at the comple-
tion of the contest events.
Some of the best contest rodeo
hands known in the business have
already sent in their entry blanks
for the championship events, ac-
cording to advices received here
from Chicago. In addition to ap-
pearing in the fancy roping, the
fancy riding and other contract
events on the program, .many
championship rodeo performers
will be entered in the contest
events.

ON ARMISTICE DAY
It was on Sunday in November
1917, that the German represen-
tatives accepted the conditions for
armistice dictated by allied mili-
tary officers and, according to the
agreement, hostilities were to
cease on Tuesday, November 11,
at 11 a. m.
Between the signing and the ef-
fective date fighting continued
and soldiers were being killed and
wounded. This seems rather un-
necessary and heartless as one
looks hack upon those exciting
days. War department records
show that two hundred and thir-
teen American soldiers were kill-
de in action on November 11,
1918, up to cessation of fighting at
11 o’clock in the morning.
One naturally wonders why it
was necessary to postpone the
stopping of the battle so long aft-
er the signing of the agreement..
Ostensibly, it was so that all units
could be notified prior to the fin-
al hour and the conflict stopped
instantaneously 'over tl^'e entire
front. But, as far as the soldiers
killed in these last hours were
concerned, wouldn’t it have been
better to have put the armistice
into effect just as rapidly as pos-
sible ?
