BIC TIMES AT
TRI-STATE FAIR

Reports from Chattanooga in.
dicate that the interstate fair
which opens in that city one
week from next Monday will be
we'll worth the time of anyone in
terested in education and agri-
cultural development.
The Chattanooga fair this year
is one a part with the largest
agricultural and live stock ex-
positions of the nation, and some
unusual exhibits along these lines
are promised.
The Million. Dollar live stock
show will, of course, be of prin-
cipal interest, and second to it
will be the magnificent milk de-
monstration put on by the United
States government under the d.
rection of Miss Madge Reese, the
eminent dairy expert.
All of the other departments
which have been of such unusual
interest in the past will be re-
peated. while the entertainment
features are the most elaborate
ever presented in this section of
the south.
The Racing is attracting un-
usual interest this year because
of the very large entries which
have been received, the Chatta-
nooga fair having as many en-
tries as any in the south, even
though some of the southern
fairs are on the grand circuit.
There will be four days of the
aces, thereby guaranteeing at
east nine or more exciting events
very afternoon.
Victory at St. Mihiel", the
25,0O pyrotechic spectacle,
will be of great interest, especi-
lily to every man who has been
4 the service. as it will be a viv-
reminder of his experiences on
ne other side.
Fourteen of the greatest vau-
eville acts in America acts in
will furnish free acts be-
're the grandstand. while the
'orld at Home will entertain
le pleasure seekers on the mid
ay.
There is no extra charge for
'andstand seats during the af-
rnoon, and the admission to the
'ounds will be the same as in
rmer years. fifty cents, and
tin out war tax being added, so
eryone may go to Chattanooga
owing that they are going to
t more than their moneys
'rth with a mighty good time
lille they are getting it.
