RECEIVES RECOGNITION OF
 U. s. GOVERNMENT

Hot Springs, Aug. 25.-From Post master General Burleson has come ad- dltlonal recognition on the part of the United States government of the great Arkansas State Fair, which will be held in this city, Nov. 16 to 21, and Postmaster Smiley has been made the recipient of instructions from the Washington headquarters to install at the big exposition a big display of the governments parcel post system. Postmaster Smiley is not only in- structed to devote his personal time and attention to this display but to al so assign one of the men in his office who Is thorougly competent to explain to patrons of the postoffice just exact ly what the parcel post means to those who desire to patronize the same. This recognition of the Arkansas State Fair marks another department the United States government has placed in the states big exposition. The Forestry department has a big display there, while the Good Roads exhibit, which last year occupied one entire building, will also be in the Fair this year, bigger and more extensive than before. Another big exhibit from the government officials are looking for ward to is that of the Good Health display which will be offered in con nection with the Better Babies Health Contest, and which will be under the direct supervision of Government phy- sicians.
 Secretary Waters is in receipt of let ters from various county fair organi- zations and the smaller towns of the state which will not have an opportu- nity to make an exhibit at county fairs but will send their products direct to the state exposition, and in this res pect new town recently opend up by the Memphis, Dallas and Gulf railroad to make a most excellent show ing at that time. Glenwood is boom- ing since the new railroad put it in touch with Hot Springs and the Vest ern Outlet and w. R. Sossamon, a well-known young real estate man of that place has arranged to set aside one-half of his office space, where Glenwood's exhibit to the State Fair will be shown before sending to this city. In fact, not only Glenwood but also other towns along the Memphis, Dallas, and Calf road are looked for to send big exhibits. The road will complete it's link by November 1 and will be the medium over which will come some of the choice exhibits of the Fair.
 Secretary Waters has recently re- turned from various meetings over the state and reports interest in the Fair greater at this time than ever before in it's history. One big meeting at Mammouth Springs resulted in the organization of a new county fair.
 That exhibitors outside of Arkan- sas are realizing the value of the state exposition is shown in the letters of inquiry that are being received, the latest big exhibitor desiring informa- tion as to space being the Moss Tobac- co company, of New Iberia, La, whose product will in all probability consti- ute one of the prettiest booths at the Fair.
