MAKE YOUR FAIR ENTRY
EARLY THIS YEAR.

The Woman's Department of the In
terstate Fair last year was one of the
most successful features, and this year
it will be equally, if not more so, if
one may judge by the evidences that
are beingf given daily of the interest
that the women are taking in the
work of the fair.
The woman's department was so
ably managed last season that it is
but natural that the interest should
have increased, instead Of waning
since the inception of the annual ag-
Ticultural exhibition, and the fact, too,
that Miss Katie Smith is now at the
head of this department has done
much towards adding to the interest
that is felt by the women of Pensa-
cola, in an enterprise which should
mean much, not only to the woman
who is worker for the civic good, but
also to the home woman, who in en-
tering her jellies and pickles, pies and
cakes, sun bonnets and lingerie. is
thinking rather of the praise of kim
dred and friends than of civic adj
vancement.
There is one thing that must be
borne in mind, by all who enter work.
in any department of the fair, and
that is: Get your entries in early.
1t will be a great help to the corps
of workers in the fair office, for the
work is very heavy now, and it will
save wear and tear on nerves and
tempers. There is no reason for delay
in making your entries-for making
an entry does not mean taking the
article itself to the fair Office or
grounds. If you will look in the prem

call up the fair Office and ask the
secretary or his assistant to send you
one. A misapprchensiOn seems to pre-
vail in regard to the entries. Many
seem under the impression that it is
q difficult thing to make an entry,
1t is the simplest thing in the world
if you know how. If you do not look
in your premium book at once and
read the rules-Or communicate with
the staff of workers in the fair office,
in person, by telephone, or through the
mail. AS soon as your entries are
made your exhibit tags will be mailed
to you. Now, this does not mean your
exhibitors ticket. That you will re-
ceive after your exhibit is in the hands
at the Fair Association. The exhibits
may be taken to the Offices on the
fair grounds at any time between Oc-
tober rs and Friday. November 18th.

that, except perishable goods, such
as cakes, pies, etc, WHICH would be
spoiled by being taken too soon. But
remember-your entries-and the en-
try is nothing more nor less than a
list of the articles you are going TO
enter-may be sent in now. And the
sooner the better for all concerned.
1t is a big piece of work to make out
a separate tag for each article, q

bibitor's name on the fair books and
file away the entries. Can't you help
TO make this heavy task little less
heavy by getting your entry in on
time. with a little margin to spare?
Another thing you must remember;

fair is supposed to be, and should be-
