We want to make this an exhibition
of the resources of the Truckee- Carson

so. This country is yet in its infancy
and it is to our mutual benefit that we
all cooperate in making our fair sue
cess. Remember every little bit helps.
You may not have the largest pumpkin
or the finest bred COW but if you have
something worth showing bring it along
and it will be fully appreciated. We
can only arrange for the holding of a
fair. 1t takes you, Mr.. Tiller of the
Soil, to make the fair success. Bring
something and ask your neighbor to do
the same.
Come and see what the State Uni
versity will have in the way of good
stock. They are bringing the entire
exhibit which they had at California
State Fair. They are going to fill eight
double stalls and 23 pens with prize
winning horses, cattle, sheep and hogs.
Come and see what your neighbor is
doing and show him whaty you are doing.
Take couple of days off and bring the
wife and children. Talk crops and
politics and visit with your neighbor.
He will be there and everybody else.
You will go back refreshed and never
