Cambridge Fair
August 2-3-4-5

The management of the Cam
bridge Fair are making every effort
to have the biggest fair yet held.
Fairs" are means adopted
throughout the United States, to
stimulate feeling of friendly rival
ry among farmers, merchants and
manufacturers and as an advertising
medium it IS considered the best. In
some States the people look forward
to fair week as Trade week, because
it serves as a great trade stimulant.
If you are a merchant, manu3ac-
turer farmer or citizen Of Dorches-
ter county, you should feel an inter-
est in the Cambidge Fair for it is a
recognized fact that Fair is very
beneficial to a community and you
should let this feeling assert itself
! by your becoming interested and Of
| fering the Fair officials your help in
| building up a better Fair.
| This is direct appeal for CO.
operation and coupled with the re-
quest goes an expression of our hopes
that the citizens of Cambridge and
| Dorchester county will lend their
aid to the officers of the Fair Asso0a-
ton in the establishing of Fair in
| Cam bridge that will become the
greatest in the State and which will
attract thousands of visitors to Cam
| bridge every year.

Over Forty Thousand Dollars Worth of Usefu

FURNISHED BY U. S. GOVERNMENT

II there is buster man in Cooke
vile than Pres. @. M. Smith, or a
buster set of men and women than
he and his faculty, the Herald
would not know where to start to
look for them, and the old adage
that Labor conquers all things" is
aptly illustrated in the smooth man
ner in which our State Institution
of learning is being conducted. Nei
ther Pres. Smith or any other man
could accomplish these things alone,
no matter how hard he might labor,
If he did not have the hearty CO
operation of one of the most eff.
ficient corps of teachers in the
State to help him in planning and
executing the work of training the
minds and morals Of nearly 500
young men and women.
The Tennessee POLYTECHNIC Insti-
tute, proper now has enrolled 329
pupils, who represent 33 Tenness e

.habilitation department has an en-
rollment of 140 ex-service men, "a
of whom are Tennesseans, while the
Others hail from the states of
North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Florida.
To discipline and teach this great
body of students is certainly no
small job, and the people of the
state and especially of Cookeville
and vicinity should not miss an op-
portunity to visit the school and
see for themselves the splendid
teamwork that is being demonstrat-
ed at, this the youngest and livest OF
all Tennessee institutions.
Government Equipment

der the direction of Prof. o. c. Kirk
man, are installing this machinery
and already have about three-fougths
