Fair Commissioner
 Wants Your Exhibits


 Oscar K Coll, County Fair Com missioner, has issued & call for ex- hibits as follows:
 The tentative program now being compiled by the Territorial Fair Com. mission for the coming annual fair, to be held st Phoenix during the early part of November, indicates that every subject of vital importance for s good and better exposition will be conduct ed on much broader lines than here toiore. The interest taken in the previous annual fairs by the various Arizona counties, illustrates not only the growing sentiment of obtaining more excellent exhibit this year. but the desire that the same shall eclipse all previous fairs; also, in largely in. crossing the commercial, industrial, mineral and agricultural resources that have begun to ripen so promis- ingly and have marked the develop. ment of the great commonwealth of Arizona
 Therefore, if Cochise county is to successfully compete with the bal. snce of tine counties of Arizona. we must have a creditsb'e exhibit. The fair grounds IS the place to educate the people to the advantages offered, and 1t is there that thousands vf peo. pie from all over the W ,st and east are imbued with the spirit 0! inmigra- tion and inv stment. The educs- able, and invites the visitor Co be- come thoroughly posted concerning the resources of our great Territory. and therefore you can do no better than to enter something st the com. ing annual fair.
 All persons, including the business man, the rsncher. the miner snd tine stock raiser are requested to en courage a much better exhibit than Coch'se county, the banner county of the Territory. has had on previous oc. cssions, and to contribute some art. icle in making up screditable exh bit. By All means let us show the visitors st the fair what We have and can pro duce
 Don't be disappointed fl our exhibit does not carry of the blue ribbon, we must m4ke start, so groom up few of your best specimens and send them 10 the fair the fall. and you will be surprised at the wonderful amount of good it will do for Cochise county Exhibit something and make the fair success. It does not mat ter how lite you exhibit-"every little exhibit helps"
 All parties having ores for exhibit should notify the County Fair Con- missioner in order to give time for the proper classification and placing of the same. There is plenty of room for you and your friends 10 place aD exhibit. Better suggest this to some of them, and also, give the matter careful attention and consideration yourself We need large exhibit from Cochise county and there is no time better than the present to begin pulling together and getting it in readiness. Do it now.
 We realize what an opportunity for industrial growth and expansion Co., chise county in particular and Ari- zons in general affords at the present time. There are mines to develop. notably those of copper; the railways building and the railways planned, are but beginning; there Is timber to ex- ploit, and an agriculture to stimulate that underlies the prosperity of hund- reds of thousands of people, and worthy exhibit will give prestige to Cochiss county, where prestige is needed
 All we ask is that the enterprising progressive and public.spirited citizens of Cochise county vii in every poe sible way co operate with the County Fair Commissioner in the efforts that are being put forth to have Cochise county share in the harvest Of capital and immigration that the coming an- nnsl Territorial Fair will yield.
