nouncements sent out sometime ast
the management stated mat II was
the purpose of the Association ,tt
try and make the fair this year the
biggest one to be held upon the

slight repairs will be made to the ex-
hibition hall and the various ofnel
buildings and the fence will be pu,
in good condition.
The exhibition of cattle this veal
is expected to attract great deai OF
- :ar e the people of this sec
ton are more interested in cattle
than ever before largely On account
of the fact that the local creamery Is
buying milk in all sections OF the
county and the richer the milk is IN
butter fat the more it brings. Ar
rangements have already been COM
pleted for the exhibition OF many
thoroughbred cattle, some OF Wnlcn
will be brought here from Pennsyi-
yania, others from different points
on the Shore and it is expected tina,
some will be brought from the West
ern Shore including some of the
prize winners owned by State Treas
urer John NJ. Dennis, who has at MS
home in Baltimore county, one of the
finest herds of cattle in the United
States. incidentally. it has been
rumored in political circles that Mr.
Dennis will be a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
next year, so it is not unlikely that
he will take some pride in letting
the farmers of the State have the
opportunity of viewing this branch
of his farming business and he may
figure that he will make a greal
many friends by getting down on the
Shore himself.
The entry books for exhibits will
be open from next wednesday,
July 18th to Saturday, July 2Sth.

sued about a month ago has the fol-
lowing to say with reference to the

forts or expense to make this our
