BEING PUT IN
READINESSFQR THE EVENT
Second annual Fair of The kgricuI-
tgraI Association of Garrett County.

In our issue of this week will be found
a page advertisement of the Big Event
of the season, the Second Annual Fair,
to be held in. Oakland on Sept. 30 and
Oct and 2.
The Fair of last year was held as an
experiment and proved conclusively
that Garrett County, assisted by her
neighboring counties of Pennsylvania
and West Virginia, can produce equip
ment necessary to compete with any
other county IN the state in the matter
of exhibits, etc.
With the experiences of last year as
an aid, the management has made vast
improvements in many ways and will be
better able to show to the patrons that
the mountain and glade region of the
state, with its neighbors, can produce
from the soil and otherwise the best
that can be produced anywhere. With
improved crops in every line, especially
in grains and fruit, the showing at our
Fair will be astonishing.
In addition to our agricultural, hor-
ticultural and live stock exhibits, the
management has not forgotten that
other forms of entertainment and
amusement must be furnished and has
contracted for the services of an expert
balloonist and a brass band of thirty
five men, with Ferris wheels, merry-go-
rounds and other free attractions that
will fill every hour of the day with
pleasure.
A splendid program has been arrang-
ed for each day. which appears in full
in the Fair premium list and can be had
for the asking from the Secretary If
you want good, as well as profitable
time, among your neighbors, you will
find it at the Fair for they'll all be
there for that occasion.
The association desires that every
citizen of the county will exert himself
toward making the Second Annual Fair
big success and every citizen Of Oak.
land is urgently requested to decorate
and help make the Fair the GROWING
event of the year for this section.

Under the present system of
marketing farm products, it is
possible and often occurs, that
people in one part of the United
States literally starve for the want
of a product, while the same pro-
