OHIO STATE FAIR
A Good Business Proposition
Its Growth Has Been
Marvellous.

The managers Of the Ohio State Fair
are both pleased and surprised. The
demands for exhibit space so far in ad-
vance of the opening of the Fair is
breaking all previous records. Hun
dreds of entries were received before
the books opened, which is without
precedent. From letters received at
the Secretary's Office it is learned that
exhibitors will spend considerable
money in making their exhibit booths
attractive by tasteful decorations and
novel devices of various kinds.
While the Fair is almost one month
away, yet the officials are already
compelled to arrange for overflow ex-
hibits. The man who has any article
or animal of real worth has come to
recognize that the State Fair is a good
advertiser for his wares. 1t is COM
mon remark among farmers and others
that before buying they will visit the
State Fair and see the different ex-
hibits in the line of goods or animals
they wish to purchase.
Those in charge of the Fair, as well
as the exhibitors are planning to make
every department more instructive
than over before. Contrasts and COM
parsons will be made to teach lessons,
and inspire better methods. Many
new lines of exhibits will appear this
year. This indicates that business
men are coming to realize the value of
state exposition.
Don't fail to read the Official Bulle-
tin. Both the July and August issues.

Good Service-OhiO State
Fair Boom.
Reports indicate a record breaking
attendance at the Ohio State Fair.
Hundreds of fathers will this year
bring the boys. Boys will stay on the
farm longer and work better if they
get some privileges and few pleas
ures. In some counties parties are
being organized to visit the Fair and
the State institutions at Columbus.
The free trip for farm boys has aroused
great interest everywhere. Ten thous-
and information circulars are being
mailed to parties over the state. Every
boy in Ohio between the ages of Is and
20 years has chance and should try
to secure this free trip to the State
Fair for one entire week, and also see
the sights of the city. Railroads
promise the best of service.

Experiment Station Exhibit at the
Big State Fair.
To see and study the exhibit of the
Ohio Experiment Station at the State
Fair will be worth all the money it
costs to come to the Fair. Director
Thorue has made Ohio rank first in
Experiment Stations. 1t is a mill that
will help to grind out more prosperity
for the State of Ohio than any other in
stitution in it. Hundreds of people go
to the expense of visiting Wooster for
no other purpose than TO see this ex-
pertinent station. It's great exhibit
will be brought to the State Fair where
all can see il along with the rest of the
big exposition. In fact the work Of
the Station will be so thoroughly ar
ranged and compared at the Fair that
even better insight may be had of
what it is doing than by visit to the
Station. An able corps of instructors
and lecturers will be on hand to eX-
plain and answer questions. Farmers
who know its value should urge some
of their Indifferent neighbors to attend
the Fair for the purpose of seeing and
learning the lessons 1t teaches. State
Fair begins the last Monday in Aug
ust. Entries close Aug. 2. DO II now.
