A Word to Wise County Farm
ers Concerning the Wise
County Fair

Did you know that the Wise
County Fair is an organization
that you could make a valuable
asset III your business of farm
ing? Did you know THAI in
this day aud age that your
chosen occupation, that of farm
ing, is Il branch of our national
industry that will be producing
more good results under scien
titic management than perhaps
any other business in the world
with the same amount OF money
invested? Did you know that
your business of farming IL a
real business, the back bone,
the mainstay of every other
thing in this world, and that it
is possible for you to live easier,
live with less of this worlds
worry and trouble than any
other man of any other calling?
Ideal farming is the ideal liv.
ing. The old way of farming
in Wise county for the great
majority is less than a living
The Wise County Fair wants
to help make farming what it
should be in Wise county. We
have the market at home for
our products. Our soil is such
that we can make it what we
wish. We have the roads not
equalled by any mountain coun-
ty in Virginia and, perhaps,
surpassed by the roads of no
county In the State, The facili.
ties for successful farming and
marketing are right at your
door, Why not take advantage
of them? Your county fair will
help you. 1t will give you a
chance to know what the other
fellow is doing Bring your
farm products, your cattle,
hogs, sheep, chickens, anything,
everything TO the fair, and the
other fellow will bring his; each
one can see what the other is
doing, and you may be assured
there will be something learned
something gained.

The Roanoke
Fair

The great Roanoke Fair and
Horse Show, September %. 90,
%, IS, offers exceptional adj
vantagrs to the people of South
west Virginia to get in touch
with Uncle Sans great effort
to teach conversation of re-
sources to his people.
Plans for United States Gov.
ernment experts To DO present
at each day of the fair have
been consumated and daily les
sons in thrift such as that which
has served the reuton to such
good advantage during the
great war in Europe will be
given
Everyone who attends the
fair this season is assured an un-
usually good time. Arrange
mcnts have been made for
thrills such as never before
staged in this section of tho
country 10 be shown each day.
At tremendous expau e, the
management has arranged with
for Il number Of European dare
devils to be present at the fair
and to show the people how
they do things i'll Europe.
The great Panama Pacific
Shows will help to make up Il
midway the like of which has
never before been seen i'll this
section.
There will be fun for every
man, woman aud child who
comes to the great fair.
Exceptionally low railway
rates are offered for the people
who wish to come to the fair
and sec what their neighborS
are doing, and the reason for
these rates is that Uncle Sam
and the Kings OF Finance, who
conduct the railways, have
agreed that during the period
of war every aim of both is to
be toward the great victory of
tho boys who are doing their
bit in the trenches somewhere
III France.
While those who are able tc
do their bit at the front, are
CHANGING their lives in the great
cause, it is up TO the met
and women ut home, TO learn
10 do their part in feeding them
The best way to learn how I,
do your bit is by coming TO TIL,
Roanoke Fair and take lesson,
from the experts who will bt
present.

Farm Products at High Prices

Freezing, Va. Sept. lO.-De-
spite the fact of fair yields, all
farm produce is being held at
high prices, and the indications
are that nothing short of an
oversupply will serve to reduce
prices in any line Of products.
Apples are being sold in the or
chard at fifty cents a bnshel, as
against the usual price of ten
and fifteen cents at the same
season.
Once we were asked:
"But what is worth in any thing
Only so much money as twill bringr''
Now it is:
But worth in money meier a thing
beyond so much produce MS twill
