In continuing the work of their father, the Firestone brothers have created the Champion Farmers’ Association of America, which con sists of more than 100 farmers who have been selected as the outstanding leaders in their phase of agriculture. Loyal Alumnus Fouth, a solid black steer, is a crossbred animal resulting from a cross between a purebred Angus bull and a pure bred Shorthorn cow. The grand champion steer trav els in style, for he rides in a spe cially constructed land-yacht, which has, incidentally, white side- wall tires. The land-yacht has a spongy flooring to absorb the road shocks. This is covered with a layer of straw for further comfort. There are built in feed bins, flu orescent lighting, and Venetian blinds, which have to be kept open at all times while traveling to keep the steer quiet. —ELECTIONS— (Continued from Page 1) of the Senior class, Warren Ring- gold, vice-president of the Senior class, Austin Nance, vice-president of the Junior class, Vance Carring ton, vice-president of the Sopho more class, Edward Roeder, vice- president of the Freshman class, Joe Skiles, manager of Student Publications and H.
