 Progress.

If your county is going to have a moral support Be one to do some thing towards it's success. You can select something from among the best of your products to exhibit. Take and if you do it will stimulate others to better efforts The county fair is to the industrial nature of a commit nifty what a good school is to it's edu- cational nature, and big revival to its moral nature. If you don't win a prize you will be stimulated by the success of your neighbor, and make better efforts next year Every good county fair is worth to it's county ten times what it costs The county fair should also be made an auxiliary of the state fair. It should be a feeder tC the State Fair as the short lines are to the trunk lines of railroad. From the county fair the best eX- hibts should be sent tO the State Fair That helps to put your county and town on the map, and advertise it to the world Who can tell the amount of money and thrifty immi- grafton a good exhibit at the State Fair may bring to your section. This is the way to build up your section and promote the common prosperity of your people.

WHAT DO YOU SAY ABOUT THE
 STATE FAIR?
Isn't It High Time the People of Arkansas Were Waking Up and
 Getting in the Procession of Prog ress With Other Hustlinq States7

As a citizen what do you say about this? As a farmer, merchant, manu-
 faCturer or professional man, what
 do you say? Do you want to see the
 Arkansas State Fair grow in extent
 of exhibits and widen in scope of in
 fluence and usefulness? How much
 have you helped in the past to bring
 this about, and how much are you
 going to do along this line this year?
 Let Us have little quiet heart=to. heart talk about it Every progres
 sive state in the Union has state
 fair. Most of them have great expo sitions. They have been made so by
 popular interest taken by the people and by liberal legislative aid. Moth ing inspires and stimulates progres- sive effort, imparts industrial educa
 tiCn or introduces advanced methods
 of production, like a high-class public
 fair. No agency is more potent as an
 advertising medium to attract the at
 tention of the world to the resources
 and advantages of state or section
 of a state. To all of this you readily
 dSSeHl. l net1 won you ucltIHlile right now, to become factor in the Arkansas State Fair this year? Don't
 think of it as "IEot Springs fair" 1t
 was never so designated It is local
 to Hot Springs only in the fact that it is held there. But this is a for
 tunate circumstance to the state, for more strangers from all sections of l the country visit Hot Springs, than any other city in the state, and hence have a chance to learn of our mar vicious resources, which otherwise they would never hear of While the citizens of Hot Springs have at their l oWn expense maintained the fair for six years, their design k, and has been, for it to be in all respects what
 the name implies--a State Fair. Can't you show something worth while at the fair this fall? Won't you do so? At least, you can attend and see the big show. Write for a premium list.

Although the Oaklawn fair grounds at Hot Springs are high and dry, and are not used during the year for any thing except the State Fair in Octo- Der, being therefore in good natural sanitary condition, yet the manage ment will have the entire grounds, including the exposition palaces and stock stables, thoroughly cleaned and disinfected just before the fair opens. Thus the visiting public will be invited into a clean house. The main buildings will also be freshly painted and otherwise made attrac- tive.
