Looks Now Like Space Will Have to
Be Provided to Accommodate
Exhibitors.
Hot Springs, Ark.—(Special.)—The
busiest bee hive and the liveliest
bunch in Hot Springs just now may
be seen at the Arkansas State Fair
office. Secretary Wadley and his
corps of assistants are so busy from
early morn till late at night, that the
proverbial cranberry merchant isn’t In
It, while President Westcott is equally
active, helping to plan and direct the
general work. A State Fair boom
heretofore unprecedented is sweeping
over the state. Never has the inter
est been so great, and the manage
ment Is elated. The forecast indi
cate an elaborate display and mon- 1
ster attendance that will amaze the
■ ' ]
of all comers, regardless of extra ex-j
pense. It would be well, however, for
all persons desiring exhibit space in
exposition palace, or concessions, in
order to be provided for, and all coun
ty fair or counties intending to enter
county exhibits should by all means
notify the secretary at once, and ask
for reservation of space. While the
displays from great manufacturing in
stitutions in other states will be great
er in number, variety and quality than
over before, the most encouraging
feature is the vast increase in state
exhibits of all kinds over any former
years. This hhows that the aim of the
management is approaching a full
realization—that the State Pair is be
coming not only in name, but in fact
—a great state Institution, which
means in the way of exploiting the
marvelous resources of the banner
state in the Union.
A force of clerks are busy mailing
>ut catalogs and premium lists. These,
vith entry blanks, can be had on ap
plication to the secretary.
JYJOST everybody reade the
a da. in thia paper. They
furnish as much news to the
man in town and on the farm
as the personals, and often
more. 4 Peter Smith’s wife
wants a new ha.. Smith sees
by the paper that Jonea is sell- j
ing hats at ao much. John
son’s store ad. is missing from
the paper—Johnson’s trying
a non-advertising policy.
RESULT—Jones gets Smith's
money
Smith’s wife gets her hat.

during the week and take in all the
sights and attractions. This trip will
be offered to one boy from each of
the 75 counties in the state, and it
will be a very valuable school of edu
cation to them. It would mean much
to the future of agriculture in Arkan
sas if every farmer boy of 12 years
and over would attend the State Fair.
Here they would see the best prod
ucts of the soil, tree and vine, and
learn how it was produced. They
would see the latest in inventions, and
implements of husbandry, and learn
their uses. They would Bee education
al exhibits in art and sciences, hear
instructive lectures, see the finest
bred live stock and poultry, and in
various ways obtain information and
inspiration of immeasurable value to
them. Give your boys a chance to
get beyond the boundary of your home
stead and learn something of the
world, especially when the trip to
the State Fair can be had at half rates
and small cost. _
