The truth OF the saying. "Nothlnl
succeeds like success" was prove,
four times In the last four days al
the Grady county fair. which came
TO a close yesterday evening. That

Of people attending.
Fair officials are dazed this morn.

surprisingly large, literally swamped
the preparations made for ticket
takers. guards. etc. The officials,
however are not entering a kick on
this score.
Talking OF Next Year.
The officials OF the association as
well as the exhibitors. in all classes
shown at the fair have started talk.
ing about next years fair, with the
belief that the 1922 effort will sur
pass even the fair which has just
closed.
The superintendents of the vari-
Gus departments are enthusiastic
and their conversations indicates
that the people who exhibited are
eminently pleased and those who
had stuff to show and did not enter,
are a determined to come back for
next year. This applies not only to
individual exhibitors, but to town
ships as well. A. +. Houston, county
agent stated yesterday that he,
being in touch with the entinre
rural community of Grady, knows of
several townships that will be in
the ring next year, having declined
to enter this year because the peo-
pie in those townships did not real
ize the extent Of success the 1921
fair would attain.
Want More Competition.
There seemed to be one regret
among the exhibitors of certain
classes and that was that there did
not appear enough competition. This
applies particularly to the cattle
horses and mule exhibits.
N. M. Driskill, superintendent OF
the horse and mule division and E.
]. Hubbard. superintendent of the
dairy cattle branch Of the fair, ware
alike in acknowledgements in this re-
spect, uRath fstaeed that the exhibitors
in their classes regretted that but a
few owners brought their stuff to
the fair.
"There is reason for this" said
MIR. Hubbard 1T is simply that
there are no quarters provided to
show the animals. We understand,
of course, that the fair association
officials did all they could do this
year, but there is another year COM
ing and now is the time to start
preparing for future fairs. We badly
need show ring and cattle and
horse barns | know of a number of
owners who would have shown their
stuff here this year had there been
