FIRST FRANKLIN WINTER SHOW

SCHEDULE NOW READY. The position of the building trale is so unsettled and the scarcity of timber is so acute that it is only five weeks ago that the timber was secured for the Jjinter Show ingThis prevented .§M* schedule being placed in the' Sewer's hands as soon;-as, possible. The holidays that took place over the Prince's visit delayed 'the . printer. Then when the scfcedtf&,:4as completed the railway stMke was at its height. The committee f*M diffident about sending the schedule out during '.he strike, for it had not been settled before this day week the Wintei Show would have had to be postponed . However, everything looks brig-it it present, the schedule or rather schedules have been printed, for there are three of them—one foi Kennel Club exhibits, one for poultry and one for dogs, produce, home 1 ndnstri.es. etc. The schedule has now been posterto all likely exhibitors, but in ordei to cut down expenses, members ol the Franklin A. and P. Society wh< have not been exhibitors during recent years have not received a copy Those, however, who have anything to exhibit and have not received i o|,v should ring up or w.ite at oru to the secretary. There are 295 classes for garden and farm p;o duce, home industries, art. wo>d carving- ticket writing, etc. The entries close on the Bth inrl. As it is the first Franklin Wintei ihow there are many initial difficulties tn overcome. The committee an. ■nxious that it should be a success ('hoy therefore ask everyone to son 'heir ent: ies at once and so hel) their new enterprise. When citizen ire so patriotic as to &i<jn a Ivi. mil go guarantee at the bank, 1 finance a winter show building it i ;he duty of the general public t ■;ome foiwurd and help by foiwarci ing exhibits and patronising the ex hibition. We therefore trust that th committee will I receive a spontaneou and hearty support from everyoin who wishes to see the district o' the Lower Waikato progress.
