BUSINESS MEN WILL COOPERATE
WITH COMMITTEE CARRYING
OUT IDEAS FIRST FOSTERED
BY DAILY ARDMOREITE.

Pastors on letters sent out by Ard
more business men, will soon pro-
claim to Oklahoma the immensity and
Importance OF the Carter County Free
Fair. These pastors will bear the
slogan, Carter County Free Fair;
$4,000 in prizes; Foundation of the
Southern Oklahoma Fair"
This plan was advocated BY ]. W.
Kruger, general chairman Of the fair
committees, at forum of merchants
and board Of directors of the fair, at
the Chamber of Commerce today, at
noon.
Not only do the special premiums
exceed in value any that have been
offered either at a county or state
fair heretofore In Oklahoma, but the
cash prizes Of the Carter county fair
this September very nearly equal those
Of the state fairs at Oklahoma City
and Muskogee, according to declara-
ton by Mrs. Minnie B. Church, home
demonstration agent
And that the county fair can be
turned into Southern Oklahoma Fair
with state aid, and with exhibits from
a number Of counties in Southern Ok
lahoma, was freely predicted by j. W.
Snpl.ins, county agent; Walter Col>
bert, head Of the board OF directors
Secretary Barron of the Chamber OF
Commerce, ami a number Of others a;
the meeting.
Mr.. Simpkins pointed out that in
order TO establish the Southern Okla
korna Free Fair here enough interest
would have to be shown to justify
legislative approval and the coopera'
ton OF the neighboring counties would
have TO be enlisted
I'VE have started in the right d.
rection, and we have already put
forth such great efforts that the
Southern Oklahoma institution ough;
to be simply matter Of course" Mr..
Simplsins asserted.
In reporting on the work of the
special premium committee, Mort
Woods, one Of the team workers, de-
clared that the merchants approached
by the solicitors were 100 per cent
loyal. He declared that they all con-
ceded the expediency of boosting the
fair. The aggregate OF special prem
iums this morning exceeded $500 in
value, he said, And more premiums
have been offered.
