COUNTY EXHIBITS AT The
ARKANSAS STATE FAIR
The Cash Prizes Are All Worth Con-
testing For, but Prestige Is
Worth More.

Hot Springs, Ark.-(Special.) )-SeV-
eral of the more enterprising coun-
ties of the state have already entered
the county exhibit contest at the state
Fair, and have reserved space. III
order to encourage the bringing or
displays of the states resources from
as many sections as possible, the'State
Fair management has offered casn
prizes for the best county exhibit.
There are three prizes in this class,
500 for first, $50 for second and $2o
for third. The award is not to be de-
cided by the biggest display, but by
the number Of premiums won by eX-
hibitors from the county. 1t does not
affect individual exhibitors. All in
dividual awards will be paid to the
winners, but will he counted in the
aggregate for the county in this con-
test, and the county taking the largest
number Of premiums and awards will
win first, and the others in rotation.
Every county notifying the secretary
of its intention to enter this contest
and asking for reservation OF space
before September s will be credited
with Is points in this contest. There
is no charge for exhibit space or
booths in the agricultural, horticultur-
al art, textile and culinary depart
ments, and premiums on any article
shown count in this contest. Counties
holding county fairs should enter un-
der the auspices Of their association,
and the secretaries should at once re-
serve space. In counties which hold
no fairs, it only requires someone to
take the lead, notify the secretary to
reserve space for the county, then
work up interest and get the people
to send their exhibits. Commercial
clubs should represent their counties
in this, or a live real estate man.
Where there is no fair association or
commercial club, one or two hustling
boosters can easily work up county
exhibit. The merchants of any enter
prising town II propery approached
will readily subscribe to joint fund
sufficient to guarantee the expense OF
getting an exhibit to the State Fair, In
order to encourage their citizens and
farmers to greater enterprise and to
advertise their section at the fair. EX-
hibits other than live stock and poul'
try, can be shipped by payment OF
freight one way, that Is, paying for
shipment to the fair, and exhibits will
be returned free, or II disposed or
while at the fair as fruit and most
agricultural products can be, then The
prepaid charges will be refunded by
the roads. Prizes won in this con-
test by counties under auspices OF
county fairs, will be paid to the fair
association Of such county. Where
commercial clubs or merchants bear
the expense Of getting county exhibits
in, It can be paid to these or dstribut.

agreed on by them during the fair,

being sent out. Write for a copy, study
