PREM|UMSAT
THE BIG FAIR

In the Offering of $4,000 as pre-.
miums for the exhibits in the al.
cultural, stock raising and domestic
departments, of the New State Fair,
the management is again demonstrate
ing its liberal policy. When the fair
association was organized FIVE years
ago the board Of directors decided
that the best was none too good for
the farmers, stock raisers and other
exhibitors. The policy OF giving hand
some premiums was started the first
year and has continued until now
competition in every department is
very keen, owing to the hundreds OF
exhibits which are displayed.
BY offering splendid prizes for the
winners the New State Fair draws
from the best throughout the country
To win at this great production, II
Is necessary to exhibit the best. This
has acted as a stimulant to exhibit
ors as they strive to raise better
stock, grow better agricultural pro.
ducts and to produce the finest kind
OF things in the domestic lines.
This is one of the chief objects Of
the fair association. 1t is given for
the purpose of interesting farmers,
stock raisers and others This of
course brings about the display OF the
best and earnest efforts to attain the
best.
But while the management OF the
association has striven to give the
"old folks" something worth while,
the younger generation has not been
overlooked. The members OF the
Boys and Girls Demonstration club
yearly compete for prizes which are
offered them in the raising of corn,
kafir corn, cotton and canning. This
club is under the supervision OF the
United States Department OF Agricul
ture, Bureau of Plant Industry. For
this department alone $3.50 Is being
given as premiums. The reward for
good work awaits youth and the in
dustrious ones who are anxious to
make a mark in the world are pre-
| pairing to have their products listed
at the big Eastern Oklahoma attrac
| tion.
1t is pleasing to note the splendid
work which has been done by the
New State Fair concerning the rails

rare treat which Is seldom seen
of the big theatrical circuits in the
east.
As tango dancing is quite the craze
Just now il might be interesting to
many OF the good folks OF this great

tango artists. OF course there are
many who will say the tango was
