MISSISSIPPI
STATE FAIR
By Far the Greatest Aviation
Feat of the Country.

Hydro AeropIane Expert Hugh
K. Robinson. Americas foremost
exponent of Hydro Aeroplaning,
has been secured at an enormous
cost to make flight in Jackson
during the Mississippi State Fair
en- route from Minneapolis to
New Orleans.
When Robinson reaches Jack
son, he will have set a new
worlds record of aeroplaning.
In conjunction with Robinson
making this long flight, which is
approximately 1917 miles, he
has been designated by Post
master General Hitchcock, as a
special carrier of United States
mail. Letters for the Aerial
Route bear regular two-cent
stamps and are marked in the
lower left hand cornes, "vla
Aerial Route"
A $4,000 purse is awaiting
Robinson in New Orleans which
aside from the honor of making
the longest fight known IN aerial
navigation, is a sufficient incen-
tive to compel him to go his
best.
Robinson was selected from a
bunch of forty competitors. who
deluged the Aero Club of st.
Louis with proposals when the
flight was first announced.
The record Of every aviator
was carefully sifted, after which
it was decided Robinson had
superior judgement and endur-
ance, and then the question Of
machines was taken up.
The Curtiss Company, builders
of the hydro aeroplane flown by
Robinson, supplied this guaran-
tee, and will station machines
and parts at all stations along
the river to be used IN case of
accidents.
The hydro plane is the type
adopted by the United States
Government.

County Fairs are Important.

The farmers and business men
should realize that agricultural
fairs play very important part
in the development of the farm
ing interests, says the New Or
leans Item. Every county in the
South should have an agricultur-
al Fair in the fall. Those In
charge of the fairs should intro
duce educational features into
the organization of the fairs and
eliminate demoralizing and
worthless features such as to
some extent characterize most of
our fairs at the present time
The mission of the fair is to tell
IN the direction of larger and
better crops, more and better
stock. better homes. and fewer
young people leaving the farms.
The fairs should make arrange
ments for boys classes in live
stock Judging. The girls should
be taught to make butter and
Judge it. Prizes should be offer
ed for the winners in the boys
and girls contests.-Ex.

Wants Prohibition Law
Repealed.

Gulfport, Miss, Oct. 5.-"AG-
tor ney E. M. Barber left yester-
day for Pascagoula, where he
will introduce a resolution before
the Gulf Coast Baptist Associa-
tion. in session there, which has
for it's purpose the repeating of
the prohibition law. Fhe reso-
luton provides that the next
legislature be memoralized by
the association along these
lines"
We don't exactly comprehend;
it may be that he will appear in
the attitude of an attorney; we
don't know the kind of Baptist
on the Coast, but with the Bap-
fist in this section he would be
most thoroughly, completely and
respectfully turned down.
However it is suggestive for
al good citizens to think rightly
and do more effective work along
the temperance line. Every
good citizen should rally to the
W G. r. u. organization in every
NAV and manner to aid and as
sist.
