One Of the greatest tributes to the
position attained by the Natlona'
Farm and Live Stock Show, New or
leans, at a single bound and in loss
than a single year WAS tho srantns
OF unusually low rates by all the ra"
roads. 1t was recognition Of the bell
eft OF the enterprise to the farming
and all other industries OF the south'
and OF the wisdom Of giving all tne
people of the south I chance to reach
1t and profit by It.
The war has placed an Immense
strain upon transportation facilities
and It Is anticipated that there Will Do
a shortage Of cars and locomotives
For that reason the roads all over the
country have largely reduced the'l
concessions to the fairs. In some o.
the northern states there were no spe
c,al rates put on. 50 that the attend
ancs was seriously interfered WITH
The rates allowed tho National are
much better than last year, from the
very cheap two days excursion privi
lese to the practically one'way fare
for tho round trip and stay a. lons
as you like
The opportunity Of taking in the big
event with all it, education and It'll
chances to buy, sell and get acqua'nt
ed. ia too strong to resist The farm
er's and the farm wife's and the farm
Youths difficulty 10 going to oe to oo
eide Al to the days on which to come
for each day has It's own attraction
and its own appeal. The best plan II
to 70 for the entire fair. The ton ds!'
will be equivalent to q college course
and a trip to half dozen states an'
markets. II that Is impossible tnsf
tho proper course is to got tosetne'

the bright spots that tempt most II
