SOME VALUABLE ADVICE ON THE
COBB FAIR FROM CLIFF w. FOWLER

pull off as good fair as any county
in Georgia or any other state. Cobb
can make as good an agricultural
display as any county in Ga. She
can make better display of cattle
hogs, poultry. The live stock de-
partment of fair can and should be
made the most important of all the
, departments. 1t is so in all the biz
fairs of the Northwest The writer
has seen there two-thousand-four-
hundred hogs under one roof valued
at quarter million dollars. He has
seen shows of horses worth the price
of thousand mile trip to see.
These fairs were not built in a dag
or year, but dozens of years of hard
work and cooperation.
1t is to be hoped that the Cobb
County Fair Association will not
make the mistake made by so many
southern fairs of offering practically
all the money on agriculture, but
rather that they will profit by these
mistakes. 1t ought not to take very
brainy man to know that when an
association offers $500 for the best
bushel of wheat that cost 80 cents to
produce and is worth say $500 after
the show without any risk attached,
as against $500 on best Jersey COW,
that cost a hundred dollars ia pro-
duce is worth $4,000 after the
show with a big~risk, make big
mistake. This policy will never
build up a big live stock show in
Cobb Co. Cobb can make one her
self if needs be without any outside
help and our breeders would likely
do so even if no money was offered
but offer prizes on live stock as per
value of exhibit, same as other things
open it to the world and invite the
breeders. | venture the assertion
that they will come if this is done
We need them. No country even
broadened as it should behind closed
doors No exhibition of this char
acter ever was or ever will be a sue,
cess if closed to a special class and ne
individual ever did amount to a two
cent piece unless he came into con
tact with the balance of the world
Open Cobb's fair to the world
Invite the breeders of cattle, horses
hogs, and poultry to show with us.
Invite the people from elsewhere
This will mean a bigger and bette
show each year. 1t means growth
and expansion. 1t means progress
and prosperity for the Association o
| the County AS to what will be tn
results of any other policy | can d
no better than cite any "doubtin

other sections, the same the world
over.
In the past / have visited shows
and fairs at Atlanta, Macon, Calhoun,
Dalton, Columbus and Augusta, Ga.
Chattanooga and Nashville, Tenn,
Birmingham, Montgomery and Troy,
Ala, Greenville, and Charleston, S. c.,
Jamestown, Va, Sedalia, Mo, Des
Moines, Iowa, besides many other
smaller ones l have been at these
fairs when it is said a hundred
thousand people passed in at the
gates in single day, and | know
that the open door policy and live
stock is pat hand that will win.
Let them come from any where. If
they can heat Cobb Co. she will get
better stuff next time If the otbe'
fellow takes the trouble to bring in
better stuff than we have he ought
to be paid for bringing it, 1t is
worth the price to our people. If the
Association puts up enough money
to even cover the expenses of the
exhibitors they viii make show all
right Most people know the value
of advertising, or ought to know it,
and from this point of view an ex-
hibitor, no matter whether his hobby
is live stock or pedigreed seeds, can
not afford to overlook the opportuni
ty of advertising. There is no way
Of telling where the next business
will come from, and an exhibitor at
the 1914 Cobb Co. Fair might find a
customer in a visitor from Toronto,
Ont. 1t is not at all unreasonable
and the breeders will not miss the
opportunity if presented to them III
the proper way A personal expert
ence will serve to illustrate the point
In 1910 | bought three pigs on II,
Fair grounds at Des MONIES, Iowa
from an Indiana breeder paying a
long price for them. Doubtless it
might have seemed absurd to some
If tina Ind. breeder had even limited
that an exhibit at far away Des
Moines might bring him business
from down in Ga. exactly in the OPP
posite direction, and nearly a thou
sand miles away, but it did. The
same might be true in Cobb CO. Any
way we will see.
If the business men some of whose
I time is worth ten of us, see enough
if that Ind. breeder had even limited
and give a part of their time to it
surely we can do no less than boost
We have got to do something. We
can't stay on the fence and stagnate
We must get on one side or the other
At present | am on the side of the
Fair Association. l hope every ma:
in Cobb Co. will back it. Anywa,
don't sleep. If you can be booste
for heavens sake kick. Be a "liv

Combined Shows Are Coming

All the contracts necessary for
the lnnumerable details of the ex-
hlbition of large circus institution
have been made for the early ap-
pearance in this town of the Wheel
er Bros. Circus & The Famous
Stampede Wild West. This is one
Of the worlds largest amusement
enterprises, and because of its Pc
culiar combination it is probably
the most interesting.
1t is advertised by the manage
ment that it is without a peer in
point Of performance, and it would
seem as if this boast is justified in
a combination which includes two
such shows. The Wheeler Bros.
has for years been conceded place
In the front rank Of circuses, and
in many points it has been given
first place. 1t could not be excelled
for its horses, the quality and COM

pleteness of its equipment or the
attention given to the numerous
deals which aret essential for the
production Of a performance of un-
usual merit. Although The Wheel
er Bros. have always refrained
from featuring some fve-second
act as thriller, used purely for
advertising purposes, their patrons
have always found many surprises
in store, and now they have come
forward with the boss thriller of
them ala Mexican Bull Fight, a
thrilling reproduction by the Men
daza troupe of genuine Mexican
bull fighters.
When the combination Of the
Wheeler Bros. Circus & Famous
Stampede Wild West was accom-
plished, the amusement world was
not surprised, as the combination
had been predicted. The deal was
a fortunate one for amusement pat
rons, inasmuch as they are now
able to see the two shows for the
prices formerly charged for one.
To enable the performances of the
two exhibitions to be given stimuli
taneously and without cutting out
a single act Of either, has been
great herculean task, but it has
been accomplished, and the result
will be seen when the Wheeler Bros.
Circus & Famous Stampede Wild
West Shows appear in Newark on
September 4th.

The only ray of hope that pierces
the dense and gloomy war clouds
that now hang over Europe is the
now reasonable probability that the
awful results Of war will effectuallv
suppress the spirit of militarism
that has been rampant for wears.
and is now enjoying it's dreadful

directly connected with this terrible
conflict with its horrifying toll of
human lives, will realize that war is
incompatible with civilization, and

Cure Of Bee-Stung Horses

One of our readers, G. H. Has
tlngs I'll OF Selbyville, seeing notice in
The Post where a man had lost two
horses from bee sting, writes of ex-
perlence he has had from same
trouble.
He advises bleeding the horse as
soon as possible. This rids the sys-
tenn of excess poison. Mr.. Davis
says he has seen horses stung so
badly that they were down. Bleed
ing invariably effects relief.

WILL WATCH BILL
TILL IT is SIGNED

Bismarck. n. D., Dec. 15.-One bill
that is to be introduced in the North
Dakota legislature this winter will be
looked after very carefully after 1t
has passed the ho,Ise and the senate
and is on.the way to the governor for
his approval will be a proposed law
prohibiting insurance: companies or
their agents from rebating discrimin-
ating and twisting. :. "A bill :of this
nature was passed two years ago and
was lost sometimes.fn the course Of
transmission from the enrolling COM
mittee to the hands of the governor.
The measure was one that was father
ed by. the insurance; department Of the
state and over which there was quite
a fight in both the house and the SEN
ate. q, .
Another recommendation made by
w. G. Taylor, insurance commissioner,
will be an act to define how inter-
insurers and Loyds associations may
be entitled to do business in the state.
The matter Of a standard fire policy
will also again. come up when the
session opens. There is now what is
known as North Dakota standard
fire policy used in the state, which is
similar in many. respects to the poll
cies used in other states, hut Mr. Tay-
lor thinks there ara, q number of ad-
vantageous changes that can be made
in it. 5t.I -
