DATES SET FOR OCT. 12.2t.

Presenting a picture Of the south's
agricultural and Industrial greatness

which opens in Atlanta, October H.
and runs ten days, will break all rec
ords for attendance, Is the prediction
of President Oscar Mills, newly elect
cd head OF the organization OF the
great fair.
Scores Of requests to the fair offices
from prospective exhibitors concern
ing the approaching exposition are in
dicative this years exhibitions VIII
be wider in range and of greater edu'
cational value than ever before, be-
lieves Mr. Mills
Enthusiastic beyond expression
about the outlook. He says, Fairs OF
today are fast becoming matters OF
great importance to ALL No longer
are they considered Of local or state
Importance but they are rapidly be
ing recognized as national schools.
"The Southeastern Fair has been
recognized as an educational force by
the railroads. They are cooperating
to bring the people Of the southeast
to Atlanta for a ten day practical
schooling, worth many dollars to the
spectator
County, State and the national gov
ernments have recognized It and, all
will be represented with worthy ex'
hibits Of farm products of modern
agriculture
This year we will even have ex'
hibits from England and they will be

tunity, those of us who remain al
home most of the time, to see just
how we'll we are keeping up with the
rest OF the world, when we go to
the fair and see what progress they
are making in other parts OF the
world"
Mr.. Mills states that everyone is
beginning to recognize the value in
the Southeastern Fair as community
gathering. 1t affords an opportunity
for the farmer to see the manufactur
er's product in actual operation before
he buys, and 1t gives the farmer ar
opportunity to present his product OF
the soil which he hopes to sell at 8
reasonable price above the cost of pro
duction.
Years Of experience in building :

and rural life OF the southeast have
taught us that entertainment is a nee
essary lewiston Of the fair" asserts

presenting each year, more whole

not be tolerated, today The exhibit

connected with it would be hooted as
terrible and would not be accepted by
those who are in the market of life

demanded a bigger and better fair

the Southeastern Fair will be far

Striplin, ARE the counties this year

THE majority of the fair patrons will
