If the plans and arrangements,
that we have already made for the
1922 fair counts for anything, then
this exposition will fix new records
and attain new 1aurels in each and
every department, from the swine
and cattle departments of the Ma
tionaI Hog and Cattle. Show to the
exhibition of the smallest ..'gani-
cation of boys and girls clubs. The
amusement program, toos will at
tain new heights in the quality Of
entertainment, which promises to
be more tense and more diversified
than ever, the program will be dou-
bly, inspirational and educational.
1t has always been the aim of
the officials of the association to
make the fair source Of instruc.
ton and information to the grown.
ups, as well as the youth who at
tends. We look with pardonable
pride upon the many new features
that will be presented in the south
for the first time in history.
The fair will be noteworthy for
the new and up-to-date building con-
struction which has been carried
out since the last exposition. There
will be a new sheep exhibit pavilion
that will accommodate a Thousand
head of sheep. All of the live stock
buildings have been considerably
enlarged and improved. The show
ring in the cattle building has been
rebuilt and enlarged, and an en-
tirely new ring has been constructed
in the swine pavilion. An office
building for the live stock superin-
tendent has been built that affords
the exhibitors and officials every
convenience. AS it now stands, the
exhibition plant for live stock at the
Southeastern Fair is equal to that
of any fair in the entire country
and in many instances much better.
Great Live Stock Show
1--WE are expecting the greatest
live stock show this year that we
have ever had, and we are practi.
cally assured of equalling the rec
ord set last year When we had the
largest swine exhibition in the en-
tire United States.
In the horticulture and agricul-
ture departments we are expecting
an equally successful exhibition.
The space in the agricultural build
ing has practically all been taken
and the quality of the exhibits will
doubtless eclipse that of any pre-
vious year. Each year since the
organization Of the fair has been
decided improvement in the ex-
hibits Of farm products which our
farmers bring to the exhibition.
We look forward with considera-
BILE pride upon the poultry show
this year. The fourth district Of
the Rhode Island Red club of Amer
lea will hold their official show at
the fair this year as a part of the
regular poultry exhibit. 1t will be
the greatest poultry exhibit we have
ever had and will be held on the
ground floor of the agricultural
building where every modern CO.
venience will be provided for the
bird fanciers.
The various club organizations of
boys and girls work will all be on
hand with exhibits of their own
make and the state superintendent
all report that they will need every
available inch of space this year for
these displays.
In the liberal arts building we
will have exhibits typifying the peak
Of human endeavor as far as the
womans' work is concerned. Mr..
Anderson, who is in charge Of this
department will have all she can
do to provide enough space for the
exhibits that have been entered.
Fine Arts Exhibition
Mrs. e. w. Moore just returned
from a trip through the east where
she visited studios of the most pop.
ular and best known artists. reports
that she has by far the biggest and
best exhibition Of fine arts since the
fair has been organized.
The midway will be under the
direction of Johnny j. Jones Expo
sition Shows, an organization with
out a peer in the outdoor show
world. They will present as varied
and colorful a line of attractions
as has ever been seen on a fair
grounds in the south. The free
