HARDY APPEALS
To ALL To HELP
THE MOLINO FAIR

L. w. Hardy has issued the follow
ing statement, urging all of the people
of Escambia county to cooperate in
making the Molino fair success.
To The People of Escambia County
The world faces a livestock famine
of such magnitude that you and l
simply cannot comprehend it. Tire
duty of America is plain. We must all
help plug that gap by getting into the
livestock bushes more deeply our
selves That's why care offering
cash premiums for the best stock ex-
hibfted this year at the Moline Fair.
1t is mexly our way or getting every
one more interested in livestock rails
/ ing.
Where are the hundreds of thou
sands of our boys on the front and in
the trenches to get meat TO eat unless
we, who are fortunate enough to be
left here in our good old Escambia,
get busy and try and improve our
stock and help feed them2 For hui
mainly sake. let's do something Ii
there ever was a time when the coun-
try needed to produce more and better
crops, livestock OF higher grade and
more prolific, and to expedite industry
and manufacture to the limit of our
power. that time is now.
L
tention of our people the time and
place when our county fair will be
held-at Moline, Fla, November 10 to
81, inclusive, and I urge all of our peo-
pie to participate in this undertaking
by their cooperative individual and
concerted action. Let our communi-
ties be represented, as well as individ-
uals, our schools. our boys and girls
clubs, in fact every institution and in
dividual whose object is the better
ment of mankind and the Improvement
of his country should lend a helping
hand to make this fair a grand sue
cess.
The trenches in France cannot ac-
commodate, and do not hold, all the
patriots of our country There is no
monopoly on patriotism. 1t is not con-
fined to individuals of a certain class.
Those who work and win are a.
patriotic as those who fight apA con-
quer.
The government is encouraging ag-
ricultural and livestock fairs all over
the United states. and on November 81
to December 6 there will be state
fair held at Jacksonville. On Deem
Der g. 4 and the Farmers National
Congress of the United States will be
held, with about 5000 farms repre-
Sented. and 1eel that EScamDla cOun-
! ty should, and must be, represented at
this Farmers National Congress, and
1 ask the business men of Pensacola
and the county to help with a small
contribution to the expense of getting
up and carrying an exhibit from this
county to Jacksonville. and the farm
ers are helping to get together a fine
exhibit at Moline, of which we will
take the most choice articles TO Jack
sonvi,le. There is nothing that will
advertise our county more than a good
exhibit at Jacksonville.
There is nothing that will assist the
farmers in getting new ideas better
than to meet at the country fairs and
discuss and exchange views and
methods of farming, for the future OF
this county depends on the farm. II
makes no difference what your bust
ness in life is, the whole world Is de-
pendent on the farmers for what IL
eats. The farmers holds the key to the
situation. IL they viii all cooperate
and work together they can be the
most independent people on earth. One
