TAKE FAMILY
TO The FAIR
PRoF. !. \. SHEPHERD OFFERS
some EXCELLENT ADVICE re-
GARDiNG ATTENDANCE Ar TIE
FAIRs--sEPTEMaER WILL Be
MONTH or FAIRS.

September Is the month OF agri-
cultural fairs said Prof j. Fl. Shep-
perd OF the a. c. today. 1t is q pleas
ant month usually for fairs, picnics
and other outdoor activities, as ii Is
past the hot weather and month
when showers do not commonly come
In great frequency.
Attend them by all means. The
street fair, county fair and state fair
attend all Of them. Ii you are pre-
pared to make an exhibit be sure and
bring 1t out. 1t matters little whether
you win or not-you get checked up
and given information (if your judge
is what he should be) and that is the
chief advantage to the exhibitor after
all. Win Ii you can OF course but
don't feel heart broken ii you don't
win, and try to see your difficulty and
where the other exhibit is better than
yours. The fair Is intended as
school and exhibitors learn most Of
all in attendance Enter your ex-
hibit with the hope that the best dis
play will win and with competent
judge you usually come out happy
whether you win or lose.
CITY folks go to the woods or farm
for vacation and recreation so as
to have a change from the hustle and
the hustle OF the city Farm folks are
used to quite and living close to ma
ture and change vacation for
them is TO mingle with a crowd, hear
the noise, see the glamour and jostle
about on crowded thoroughfares
Change is a rest and the best outing
one can have.
1T will make you tired-more tired
than hard work In harvest but that
is Just what you need a new way Of
getting tired out.
AT the fair you will meet distant
neighbors--ones that you only see
once In six months or a year and 1t
Is a chance to have good visit with
them. You win also make new ac-
quaintances and that adds to your
pleasure. Oh you will enjoy it IL you
will only all come out and you will
laugh as you think OF it for months
afterwards and as you look forward
to seeing the fellow next year and to
joking him over his mistakes which
time has proved on him.
'iStockmen will give you vast
amount OF information and are glad
to do 1t. They are sometimes a little
biased in favor OF their own breed
and type but are as rule eminently
fair and broad minded even In that
particular.
The boys Of the family win be able
to learn to know the different breeds !
and the popularity common to each. |

SELF I well remember keeping my |
eyes or the signs which would tell me
what each breed was until after / had |
looked them over and decided In my |
own mind what they must be. Then |
the signs told me whether was right |
or wrong. Try 1T. 1t is easy to first |

different marks and peculiarities but
you don't learn them fast that way
you won't remember them near so
well either.

the live stock with the boys and it is |
a first class accomplishment for girl |
to have too.
Then there is the machinery ex-

courteously and discriminatingly to |
what the owner says of course-but |
make UP your own mind about it.
Watch the horse races. Yes watch /
the horse races IL you care for horse
racing and there are few who don't |
enjoy a good one.
You are out for a holiday and
should have good time and only
study as much as 1t Is pleasant TO do. |
You are to rest and enjoy yourself
don't forget that. but many good les
sons are pleasantly learned.
