THE FAIR.
senator Rose TO the People of the
Sixth Agricultural District.

| Sixth Agricultural District.
| EDITORS HERALD-I wish to appea
tn rough you to the people who owe it a
a duty to the agricultural interest OF ou
section to aid by their attendance in th,
success of the fair beginning tomorrow
The Directors have done all in their pow
er, not only to make this the best fail
ever held here, but also to meet the OBJ
jections of the conservative classes O
people to do away with al
public gambling, and to maintain tha
decorous order which will make if a fl
place where man can take his wife and
family, and every lady will have as much
protection from profane or vulgar Ian.
guage as if attending any other well-con-
Quoted place of amusement.
This is the aim of the Directors and
they will do all in their power to carry it
out. On the other hand they wish the
attendance of this conservative element
OF society in order to have that moral
backing-up that such attendance gives.
Nor should it be believed that this
Fair is simply matter of pleasure for a
few horsemen. 1t is matter of deeper
concern for every citizen, especially of
Los Angeles county. We are now all
racing in the booming line. Every one
is trying for fortune in speculation in
corner lots, whereas the material inter :
ests of agriculture are lost sight of, yet
this Fair and all Fairs have for their
foundation the engendering of love for
the growing of fruits, flowers, chickens,
pigs, cattle, horses, ETC., thus making
incomes from our lands, which in the
end make lands desired and valuable.
To encourage this by your attendance,
good people, you will see when you look
at it, is aiding to bring this about, for
nothing will educate the young people to
desire to follow agricultural pursuits as
to have them appreciated by the many
There has been change made this
year in having all agricultural exhibits
of the products of the farm, the vegetable
and fruit garden, at the Fair Grounds, so
that not only the lovers of stock can find
entertainment, but also those who are
otherwise engaged in agriculture. The
horse racing will have place
to itself, and away from the
Grand Stand or public generally
and will have to be sought, and not be
thrust on the notice of any one. 1t
should be remembered that in any
locality where the most enlightened
agriculture prevails, there, too, will be
found the most successful fairs, and also
in the raising of the highest types of the
horse Los Angeles may claim very great
prominence, and public attention is al
ready being drawn this way, and money
from the East is coming this way, and a
continued inquiry made to buy.
Kentucky has made herself rich by
every man, woman and child believing
horse and talking horse, yet we have
many advantages over every part of
Kentucky, and this is gradually being
understood, and the hope is not des-
perate one to believe that in the near
future we will stand out as the "Mecca"
to which all horsemen will pay their
yearly pilgrimage. 1t only requires
that we believe it ourselves to shog by
our earnest attention that we are aware
of these advantages, to make them the
desired locality for breeding establish
ments and thus make our valuable alfalfa
lands bring an income which will justify
a boom and make an income which will
justify our high values.
Thousands of dollars already have
come into this County from other States
for horses, and the future is big with
greatly increased possibilities. 1t only
requires that the people should all show
their appreciation of what we have.
Remember these great possibilities are
all in tkeir infancy only. We will have at
this Fair some of the finest horses in the
world. Think of these things and treat
yourself kindly by enjoying one weeks
enjoyment. You will not only get full
value in pleasure, but you will be doiog
a duty to your district.
L. J. ROSE,
Acting President
