FAIR BACKERS
PU1lDVCFOR1H
STRONG EFFORT
Directors Are Determined to
Elicit Interest Of Entire
Community in Agricul-
tural Show.

Looking to the revival of the great
est interest ever in a fair project in
Escambia county and this section,
with view to making the fair at
Molino this fall the biggest and best
possible to be achieved. the directors
OF the association are putting forth
strong, enthusiastic effort.
Based on the contentious that the
fair will be of material benefit not
only to the farmers, but to the busi-
ness, Industrial and professional life
of tie community as well. the efforts
being put forth are intended to elicit
the interest of the whole people of
the community. Concerning the pro-
5ect and the active interest being TAX
en- in it, E. Kasselack. one OF the main
moving spirits in the effort, says:
..As a citizen OF Escambis. county
Of which i am justly proud. wish
to go on record as saying that I would
not possibly think of any plan which
will promote and stimulate produc-
ton of farm crops and the raising of
better livestock than a good county
fair.
Naturally a farmer does not like
to be outclassed by his neighbors IL
he knows 1t or can help it. Again
he has not time to travel over the
county to view the achievements of
his neighbors. but when. he is given
an opportunity, at least once a year.
at collection of all the best products
of the soil exhibited by his neighbors.
it at once stirs within him the desire
to excel.
He, himself. in due season. will
come forward with a better article
due to better methods, more careful
study of conditions which result in
greater production. better prices. more
and enhanced prosperity. An
endless chain of greater and more ex-
tended effort results which bid fair
10 a continuous development and a
higher state of cultivation OF the whole
section.
But how will this effect the balance
Of the community, the villages and
cities of the county? Greater pros
perity with the producing farmer
mears more money to spend for the |
comforts and luxuries OF |
lie. He will naturally spend IT with |
ais grocer. his clothier, his hardware
md implement merchant. He will be
able to give his children a better edu-
cation and thereby contribute to |
better citizenship. He will build bet
ter houses, use better equipment and |
Use to a higher plane of living by |
which not only he but the entire /
will be benefited
The Escambia County Agricultural /
Fair. to be held at Molino November /
2. 13. IA is expected to be a record |
,reaker, but to make it SO much time \
nd effort and some money will have
o be spent, but good fair will amply |
,ay for all this.
The city of Pensacola and her mer-
hanfs and Industrial people and citi-
ems will be greatly benefited by the
esuIts of a good county fair at Mo-
no. which will help from year to year
o more and more develop a high state
+ her back country upon which SO
1uch of her own prosperity and
rowtk depend.
Therefore, it would not be more
han a good business policy for the
usiness men Of Pensacola to finan-
ially and morally back up the Mo-
no Fair Association in its work and
would be evidence OF a high class
ublic upirit to do so unsolicited.
Il stated in the beginning that !
lit Justly proud to be a citizen OF
scambia county. This is no idle
l am proud to be here.
OF only because OF the good people OF
ensacola and the county, among
hom I am sure have many friends.
nd not only because Escambta coun-
~ climate is SO wonderful all the
ear round, but because there exists
this particular section peculiar
of facts, God-gtven ana
,ntrolIed, which makes this an un-
kcelled spot in this little world of
ars. for which there is no parallel in
ling conducive to my profession a.
farmer
II am proud to be among you God
.vored people. For God Almighty
