more clearly demonstrate our pro-

The Fourth Of July celebration
held at this place was quite a sue
cess. The men who represented
Patric Henry, Thomas Jefferson,
John Adams, and John Hancock,

see and hear the old patriots as
they spoke the sentiments on liber-
ty and freedom. The speech of Mr..
J. D. Burton of Oakdale was fine
and to the point. Those attending
the festivities seem to enjoy them
selves in quite and orderly way.

CARPENTER DEMSEY BOUT.

The pugilistic bout which was
staged at Jersey City, N. j., Sat-
urday, July 2, 1921, was more OF a
money making machine than any
thing else. 1t was plain from the
time they went into training that
Dempsey was the superior of the
two, at least, in brute strength.
But in view of the fact that Demp-
sey is considered a Stacker and
should so be classed, the American
people were not in sympathy with
him. Because Carpenter was loyal
to his country and served faithfully
throughout the war in the aviation
department, the American people
gave him the lions share of their
support and best wishes.
Mr.. Carpenter is gentleman
fighter. While he failed to win
against brute strength, he goes back
to France with the good wishes and
appreciation of all liberty loving
Americans. We hope he may live
long and enjoy the confidence and
respect of the liberty loving people

ARE WE PROGRESSING?
BY Capt. T. F. Peck
Commissioner Of Agriculture

At this time of my first connec-
ton with the Tennessee State Fair,
ten years ago, we found it necessary
in order to make creditable exhib-
it OF agricultural products, to go on
the market and buy material to
round out our displays. We had a
fair showing OF live stock, but it
was practically all from other states.
Farmers and live stock producers
were seemingly indifferent.
While we had within the State
some we'll bred live stock, our breed
ers did not care to compete with
the professional exhibitors. We al
so had some professional exhibitors
of farm and garden products, grown
in plots solely for exhibit purposes.
We realized that five were to make
the State Fair serve as stimulus
to better agriculture and better live
stack, we must enlist the active in
terest and cooperation of our own
producers in the State.
We offered premiums for com
nunity exhibits Of agricultural pro-
ducts. The State Department OF Ag'
riculture delegated the work Of
stimulating community co-opera-
tive effort in agriculture and live
stack to the Assistant Commission
er of Agriculture for each division
of the State. At first we secured
two community exhibits. We found
where we had one or two from those
communities during the fair before,
featuring the community exhibits
ever after we had every one inter
ested in those exhibits present every
day studying rival exhibits, COM
pairing and taking notes and plan
ming for the next year. And visitors
from communities where no CO op
erative effort has been manifested,
were studying the exhibits, asking
questions, and showing great inter-
est. Each year our community ex-
hibits have increased innumber- un-
til now we are taxed for space for
the displays made by the County
Councils of Agriculture, develop
ment of the community exhibit.
From an insignificant beginning in
1911, our community exhibits,
County Council of Agriculture ex-
hibits and corn exhibits have sur
passed anywhere in the United
States. Last year an apple exhibit
at the State Fair all Tennessee
grown apples was conceded to be
the best shown in the entire coun-
try.
Applying the same policy of COM
muniiy cooperative effort in live
stock, premiums were offered for
exhibits. The Caldwell Special was
an unqualified success. The second
year of this feature more than 600
animals competed for one premium.
The live stock people realized that
they could. as a community, make
an exhibit of their live stock and

not be long until 1000 American
will arrest the championship from
