The Advertising Value Of a Fair.

a fair is an exhibit prepared by 9
community or by trade or profession
for the purpose of advertisement and
for the education and attraction of the
public. The benefits then. that may
accure to the local business men,
through a successful agricultural ex-
position are self-evident. The fair be-
longs primarily to the farmers as 1t is
their exhibit and to them in the long
run will come the profits. Through the
advertisement and increased activity
and intercourse the city. however,
reaps the first and direct benefit.
How now is the local or district fair
of any benefit to just farmers? Some
indeed are directly paid in dollars and
cents in prize money. but woe unto
him who exhibits his stock with the
idea of paying his way out of prize
money, for he is doomed to disappont-
ment. And woe unto him who values
cash prize above a blue ribbon. He.
too, is picked as a loser. We take our
stock to the fair to show. to complete
and to advertise ourselves and our
products. by advertising we derive
benefits through increased sales of our
products and our breed and thus In
time and indirectly perhaps we as
farmers reap our reward. 1t is slow
and sometimes long in ocimng. but it

The first pipe smokers. it is claimed,
were the medicine men. Tobacco was
used in the first place as an incense
to burn before the great spirits. The
burning of tobacco was an expression of
mans homage to him just as the burn

it was known. Today the Short-horn
Breeders Association is the richest and
strongest in the world. Contrast with
this the history of the English long
horn breed. 1t was developed and i'm
proved about the same time by one
Robert Blackwell. The breed was per-
haps as good and yet 1t WAS never

its sister breed, the Short horn, Is IA

This is the history of the Short-horn
and yet it is duplicated in the history
of every other breed. Every breed had
its improver and later its advertiser
its county fair. The history of the
Hereford breed dates from the time
throughout England. The history of
the Aberdeen Angus breed dates from
the time when William McCombie ex-
hibited his herd at the Paris EXPOSE
ton in 1878. He never paid his way
out of prize money. but the results
were far more reaching. The history
of the Guernsey breed in this country
dates from the time of the Columbian
Exposition at Chicago. 1898. At that
time the breed made ats first great
showing. 1t had its county fair" and
In one year the sale of the Guernseys

trict today reaps its benefits of the
fairs of ten years ago. Look at the
district adjoining Walworth county
wisconsin,. Walwonth county boasts
a bigger county fair than the state
fair. All those famous districts have
been made SO by their fairs and shows.

GREAT CIRCLE SAILINGI
BY ALFRED J. MILLER

THE ancient navigator thought it neces-
sary only to keep the bow of his vessel
pointed due west, in order to travel from a
place in the east to a place in the west, if
the two places were in the same latitude
This was his theory; although currents and
adverse winds prevented him from following
it very closely in practice.
The modern navigator, however, knows
that a direct westward course is not the
shortest path between two places in the
same latitude. His theory is more complex.
and is known as Great Circle sailing. With
his powerful steamship he is no longer de-
pendent on the winds, and, taking the force
of the ocean currents into consideration, he
can follow his course very accurately.
A Great Circle is one whose plane passes
through the center of the earth and divides
it into two equal henispheres. The equator
and each meridian with its correspondent
meridian in the opposite hemisphere are
Great Circles. The parallels of latitude are
small circles. The shortest distance between
any two points on the equator is the equator,
and the shortest distance between any two
points on meridian is the merchant but
the shortest distance between two points on
a parallel of latitude is not the parallel of
latitude.
