President Bixby then explained
some OF the features Of the fair, and
dwclt on the great balloon race, an
international event, which is to be
held In conjunction with the fair. He
spoke briefly on the efforts which
mad been made by Muskogcc TO land
the Free state Fair and cempllmented
Tulsa on the men who had assisted In
This fight In the state senate.
This same thpt was expressed by
Eugene NJ. Kerr. member Of the

Applause greeted HIS remarks from
the Tulsans about the board when he
declared that "Tuln can well afford
TO give 800. 600 year to keep suca
n man as Harry II. Rogers in the
house Of representatives." This state

alton that no man, Republican or

Captures First Prize.
Not 30 very long ago" declared |
Tams BiNby, we read with a great |
deal OF surprise. In a publication /
printed in oklahoma City and circu- |
lated among the farmers of this state, |
n statement which declared that east |
ern Oklahoma was no place for a /
farmer. Tulsa's answer TO that state |
ment was an exhibition OF farm |
products at Oklahoma City's iur /
which captured first prize. Sucn
answIrs as these confronting the very |
people these publications hope TO in |
fluence nre the kind OF answers we |
are creating thru our fair. and this is
the reason we are asking the aid oi
Tulsa and Tulsans to make our fali
one Of the greatest of the southwest.
