offers 81 900 in premiums. TO compete
for these it is required that a person
shall pay SO for an exhibitors ticket,
which is good for admission on all days
of the fair. At the same time the ex-
hibitor's ticket covers any reasonable
number of entries in the different div
isions so that one farmer can show
horses, cattle, sheep. swine, fruit. grain,
ETC., all for so and receives reasonable
number of employees or attendants
tickets, free. In all divisions outside
of live stock the entry fee is 81, with
which goes two admission tickets, max
ing the entry fee really nothing. The

On Tuesday, Governor Luce will de-
liver an address to the farmers of the

On Wednesday comes the firemen's

prospects are that dozen fire compan-
les or more from all parts of Michigan
and Canada will compete. Prizes to
the amount of 1926 are offered. The
liberal purse, $500, offered to racing
horses, will no doubt attract some of
the best.

hn lar Of
Good races in the afternoon.
Friday brings on society day, when
$3.50 will be offered to fraternal socie-

body will be interested III these. In
the afternoon two fine trotting races
and a running race.
The exposition part of the exhibition
will be one of rare interest and will
cover wide range of articles. There
will be an elegant exhibit of California
fruits, nuts. etc; the great Northern
Pacific railway exhibits; one of the
finest poultry shows ever made in the
State; fine dog show-almost every
variety; manufacturing and mercantile
exhibits in bewildenng array, agricul-
tural implements and machinery by the
acre and last but not least the show of
blooded horses, cattle, sheep, swine,
and pets.
Every possible provision for the en-
tertainment and comfort of the guests
of the association is being made and
expense not being spared. The bust
ness men of Port Huron have gone
into this to make the exhibition sue
cess. Tens of thousands of dollars
have been expended and are at risk in
order that the Thumb" of Michigan
can, with all its agricultural and mer-
camille wealth, be properly set before
the world. a successful exhibition
means Il great boom to the various
counties of the Thumb" Every citi-
zen should lend hand to help on this
great enterprise.
The railroads have certainly made
liberal concessions. Get your stock and
articles for exhibition in, advise your
local agent ahead Of your needs in the
way Of cars, etc, and he will take plea
sure i'm aiding you.
No farmer, however poor OF hard-up,
can afford to lose the opportunity of at
least visiting such an exhibition as the
Port Huron fair and exposition promi-
ses to be. 1t gives him an opportunity
of studying and comparing the various
breeds of horses, cattle, sheep and
swine and from the exhibitors can
CLEAN information and suggestions that
will be worth many dollars TO him.
Then in grains, vegetables, fruits and
the other divisions and classes in
cluded in the premium list affords OPP
portunity for study and observation. a
farmer cannot afford to be behind the
times any more than can merchant,
business man or manufacturer. Think
back over ten or fifteen years and re-
view the strides toward perfection in
farm machinery. 1t is marvellous.
Here will be found every prominent
manufactures in the country and can
study the new things and when you
come to purchase machinery you may
be saved $25-it's no uncommon thing.
There are hundred reasons why far
mers and mechanics and people gener-
ally should attend these great exhibit
