Will Be The Method of Adver-
Using Western Kentucky
Fairs.
ORGANIZATION IS FORMED.
Schedule Removes Competition
and Lessons Running Ex-
penSeS of All.

A meeting was held here Thurs
day night of officials of the Hopkins.
vile, Paducah and Greensboro fairs
at which organization was formed
for mutual benefit.
The fairs will follow each other,
the Owensboro fair being September
2l.25, the PenDyroyal,fair here being
September % to October ?, and the
Paducah fair being October 5.S.
1t was decided to do all the adver-
Using together, except possibly that
in the immediate local fields. For
instanc', in the advertisement in
farm papers, stock journals, amuse-
ment publications, ETC., all three
fairs would be advertised uDder the
one head as The Three Big Fairs"
1t is believed this will draw many
features that could not otherwise be
secured for only one fair and that
much better terms and higher class
acts can be secured if all three towns
are booked than if separate con.
tracts were to be made.
Another thing is that purses fol
the races, prizes to be awarded or
stock and other displays, etc., are t
be standardized so that the fairs viii
all attract the same class of entrie
in these lines. Also fairs will worl
with each other in developing Ger
tain departments which may no
now be at a satisfactory stage.
1t is believed that by thus working
together adj three fairs can be mad
better in many ways than they hav
ever been and that the expense wi
be materially lessened. Mr.. Fran
Cannon, of Owensboro, was mad
secretary of the new association an
from now on the three association
will work under the new plan.
The meeting here was attended b!
Charles Allcott, secretary of the Pa
ducah Fair Association; Frank A
Cannon, secretary of the Elks Fail
Association at Greensboro, and H. c,
Newsom, of the same association;
and John w. Richards, secretary,
and S. L. Cowherd, president, Of the
Pennyroyal fair.

Since two of the announced Dem
