Only 600 tickets will be available, and
they won't go far among the thous-

A suggestion comes for the women
and girls who plan to enter quilts and
fancywork in the fair. Write your
name and address on piece of muslin
and haste it securely to the back OF
your work. If the work is to be sold,
put the price on the same piece OF
muslin, and write it also on the out
side of your package. If it is sold, the
money will be forwarded shortly after
the fair closes. Otherwise the work
will be returned without charge as
soon as possible.
Men who enter huge pumpkins or
anything else, for that matter, may
take their exhibits from the display
between five and six o'clock on the
last day of the fair. Otherwise the
exhibits will be disposed of as an
nounced in the premium lists.
Attend to these things now: Get an
entry blank from the county agent
or the Secretary mentioned above;
send the entry blank Immediately; lis
ten in to the announcements over
KDKA at 1915 E. S. T., daily this
week; make your plans to go to the
