The officers, directors and stock-holders are to be complimented for the fine manner in which they put over the annual celebration, as it takes many hours of hard labor to successfully conduct a four-da- y rodeo, and it adds much favor-able advertising and comment for a community. The new directors are: C. R. Clark, Neldon Lim, John S. Green, J. LeRoy Thorne, Dewey Adamson, Irvin Johnson, Lloyd Shannon, Paul Adamson, J. Albert Page.
