ALA. STATE FAIR ID BE GREATER EVENT THAN OF PAST YEARS
Big Appropriation Made for Added Features and More ExhibitS--JoneS Shows
 to Return

Added amusement features and increased exhibits are expected to prove the drawing cards which will make the Alabama State Fair, which opens here October 3, greater event even than that of the past two years, according to announcement made yesterday by k. A. Brown, president.
 MT. brown pointed out that despite the fact that prosperity was not as widespread this year as last. the offi- cials of the association were deter mined not to take a backward step, and in order to still further advance the fair, more amusement features higher class entertainment and more and greater prizes tor exhibits had been offered for the week of October 3-S, inclusive.
 Jersey RInSle
 Jersey Ringle, declared to be the greatest aviator and stunt air per former in America at the present time, will be one of the headline acts of the amusements. Ringle has been before the people of the United States for several years and has al ways enjoyed high rank as an enter ldlnGT, put II IS QeCldfcu lIdL ut ndS now mastered every trick of the fly ing game which has been performed by any of the leaders and in addi tion, he has a number of his own which are exclusive.
 Johnny J. Jones shows
 Johnny J. Jones, who for two dec ades has been known as the premier among the fair amusement men of the country, will be here with every one ot his shows. During the past year, Jones has acquired several new acts which had been the chief draw ing cards of some of the leading ear- niYals of the country and has also i'm proved the large number which have made his shows the recognized lead CTS of the country. The reputation for high-class, clean shows which his attractions have won on previous visits to Birmingham make the fair officials entirely satisfied with this contract.
 Live Stock Exhibit Believing that even greater efforts will be necessary to get the crowds this year than last, the associati ion has appropriated much larger sum of money for both amusements and exhibits than ever before. Secretary J. L. Dent has been instructed to get both amusement features and ex- hibits and his tentative report sub mitted to the officers of the associa- tton last week satisfied them with the progress he has made. Especial emphasis has been laid on exhibits of live stock of every variety and on agricultural exhibits.
 The list of cash premiums is con- | sidered most attractive and assur- 1 ances have already been received from all sections that the farmers will compete in large numbers for these honors as well as for the money. Emphasis has also been laid this year on manufacturing and other forms of exhibits and arrangements have been made to add to the space usually given these exhibits in the past.

NEW STAGE SCENERY
FOR COMMUNITY BLDG.
RECENTLY INSTALLED
PROBABLY NONE BETTER IN
THE STATE OUTSIDE THE LAR
GER CITIES. FRONT DROP
UNUSUALLY PRETTY.

The new stage scenery for the
community building was recently in
stalled and it presented a splendid ap-
pearance Friday evening when the
Senior Glass play was staged.
The drop curtain is especially pleas
ing, being without the disfguring ad-
vertising commonly seen. Then
there are two back curtains, one of
an outdoor scene of great beauty.
with wings to match. The other cur
tain IS an indoor scene and when the
wings are reversed they match it.
The wings are installed on pivots and
to change from the outdoor scene to
the indoor it is only necessary to drop
one curtain and raise the other and
turn the wings on their pivots. The
change can thus be made in short or
der and the danger Of damage to the
wings IS reduced to a minimum.
The school board, faculty and pa
irons are alike gratifed with the ap-
pearance of the building with the ad-
ded facilities Now it is up to us all
to see that every precaution is taken
to preserve the new stage property in
It's present perfect condition as long
as Is possible. The pupils and others
should be imbued with a spirit of
pleasure in seeing how careful they
may be that no damage or disfgura-
ton IS permitted, thoughtlessly or
otherwise
