TO ENCOURAGE
HOME INDUSTRY
THE GULF COAST FAIR THE FIRST
BIG FAIR IN THE SOUTH TO
LIMIT COMPETITION.
Mississippi and Alabama Breeders
Are Given Preference In Entering
Their Stock For Premiums.

The success of the Gulf Coast Fair
last year from the standpoint of live
stock exhibits was phenomenal, for
the reason that competition was linn
tied to the Gulf States and the result
showed that there areas good herds
of cattle in this country as in any 9TH
er State, though they do not show
up quite so well because their own
ers are not professional breeders.
The hog breeders should especially
appreciate this policy of the Fair for
it is a very easy matter to fill up
the hog pens with stock from Indiana
and Illinois, which would take home
all the premium money and overshad
ow the home exhibitors. The Fair
management is counting on much
greater cooperation this year because
of this policy, which is designed to
encourage home industry in every
branch of business.

AGREAT EXPOSITION
THE FAIR AT MOBILE OF PRO-
PORTIONS THAT JUSTIFY
MUCH GREATER CLAIMS.
No Other Southern EenterprIse Com
parable.

Few people who have not visited
the Gulf Coast Fair have any idea OF
the magnitude of the enterprise, and
it is the purpose of the management
to give publicity to its character which
will impress the people of Mobile
trade territory, what Mobile is doing
to help develop the material resources
of the section
The site secured for the Gulf Coast
Fair is without doubt the most beau
tiful in the South, comprising IS
acres fronting Mobile Bay belonging
to the City of Mobile and the Gulf
Coast Fair, which if bought at the
prevailing prices asked for such lands
would cost $4,000 In order to have
everything in harmony with this
beautiful natural site which is with
In fifteen minutes ride on the street
car, the management has designed and
erected buildings which are superior
to any of the older fairs of the South;
they are so beautiful and attractive
that they at once bring forth an ex-
clamation of surprise from those who
have been accustomed to the usual
fair buildings.
1t is, of course, fitting that the ex-
hibits to go in these places should
be of character to look In place so
the management of the Gulf Coast
Fair decided to put in effect a CO.
operative plan by organizing county
and community fairs paying the pre-
NUNS at these Fairs on Agriculture
and Horticulture with the understand
Ing that the exhibits were to remain
in place for three months as a Land
Show, and the result of the first effort
was the most magnificent exhibit ever
seen in the South, winning approval
from those who have been connected
with the great Dallas fair for years

Circuit court is not far off. Just
a little over month. 1t will be but
a short time now before the jury-list
will be drawn, and the sheriff and
his deputies go out oyer the county
making the summons for them and
witnesses and litigants to attend the
November term of our court. The
Cowart murder will likely give the
grand jury something serious to do,
with its power to comb the situa-
ton.

1916" The new show is a mighty
melange of mirth, melody and music
and entertainment that contains more
laughs, more song hits and more SEN
sational features than any of its pre-
decessors. The famous Winter Gar
den beauty chorus-seventy-fve of
the most wonderful specimens of per-
feet womanhood - whose faultless
features in line and texture can stand
the most searching analysis, whose
maddening beauty have been the
toast and the despair of Broadway,
will be seen in all the latest gowns
and fashion modes. The colossal
collection of comedians, singers and
dancers is headed by Ed Wynn, an
original fun-maker and Belle Ashlyn,
Fred Walton, Augusta Dean, Herman
Timberg, Mabel and Dora Ford, Phil

Brennan, the Five Violin Beauties,

AN OLD MANAGERS LAMENT.

And as for farces Gallo,
With their spice SO diabolic
wouldn't give consideration twice.

Full OF mother. home and hay. sir;
Something like Den Thompson used to do
Though the critics sure will pan it
Folks will like and understan' it
With its mortgage. city chap and daush

But I'm 'fraid the day is over
OF the drama laid in clover:
Mystery and sex are now the rage.
All the plays have ends surprising.
Wives in scenes quite compromising
It's what call a sad and wiser stage.
Still, there is no use in moping.
For I'm hoping, ever hoping,
That we will reach our senses in the end
And give plays that will not hurt you
With their fine. old-fashioned virtue
And rural scenes in most delightful
