 Cattle Club, the American Jersey Cattle Club, the Holstein-Priesian

 people thereof enjoy greater prosperity and happiness it is the constant 

 and continuous growth of dairying within our state. And we believe, 

 that if continued, it will make Iowa the beauty and garden spot of the 

 world. 



We hereby express our high appreciation of the energy and ability 

 of H. G. Van Pelt as manager of the cattle show and exhibit in connec-
