CROWDS ARE INCREASING

aVofed by Summer-Hke weather again, the sixth annual Faulkner county fair is today attracting much larger crowds than on the opening day, although the attendance is not so great as it would have been but for the unfavorable financial conditions.
 Those who are attending are seeing what is doubtless the best county fair ever held in Arkansas. The exhibits in every department are fully twice as great as ever before and the amusement features are decidedly the best ever offered.
 The most remarkable feature of the fair is the exhibits of the girls can ming clubs, arranged under the direc- tion of Miss Myrtle Smith, special canning club agent for the county. Surprise and admiration is depicted on the face of everyone who visits this department. One little girl alone has an exhibit that would do credit to regular canning factory. This is 14-year-old Miss Bessie May Tedder, daughter of w. M. Tedder of Holland, who on 1-10 acre of ground has grown 43 different varieties of products, spe- cimens of which are on display. Her exhibit consists of several hundred cans and jars and takes up almost one-fourth of the space allotted to the canning club. Another exhibit almost equally as large is that of Misses Eva and Willie Lawrence of Greenbrier, and one worthy of special mention is that of Miss Elizabeth Conner of Route 6, Conway, who has already gathered from 1-10 acre 2,319 pounds of tomatoes and the plants are still full of fruit.
 The boys corn club exhibit is the Ionly one in the fair that is not larger than last year. <Only 25 boys have en- tered exhibits in this department, but the testimony of everyone is that the boys have "beaten their daddies" in orn-growing.
 In the agricultural department proper is to be found a splendid ar ray of products of every conceivable variety. No one would think of Faulkner as an apple county, yet Prof. w. R. Wheeock of the Unvers- Iity of Arkansas, who is judging the entries in this department, said no finer apples are grown in northwest ern Arkansas than are on display here.
 The second story of the exhibit hall, devoted to the ladies department, al ways one Of the interesting divisions of the fair, has eXcelled all previous records, both in number and quality of exhibits. this year. The lady man. ager, Mrs. Fife Lincoln, correctly stated that there is not an inferior article entered in their department, in the several thousand entries, The work of judging in this department is in progress this afternoon and the results will be announced tomorrow.
 In the livestock department about 150 head of fine cattle, horses, hogs and sheep are shown. An interesting feature is a mare with six of her colts at her side, owned by J. J. Schichtl, two miles west of Conway. The mare has three colts at home,
 The poultry division likewise ex- ceeds all previous exhibits and is at tracing many visitors, all of whom are favorably impressed.
 A parcel post exhibit installed by Postmaster H. R. Ingram is an inter- ,esting feature and is visited by many. Here scores of articles admissible to the parcel lost are shown and pam phlets explanatory of the system are distribted. Luther P. Lewelling of the local postoffice force is in charge of the exhibit today.
