The grand night pageant' Sept ember 28

tion in Memphis arranged by the Fall
Festival Association, will be noteworthy
for the first time in history where any
pretentious affair lias been arranged in
commemoration of the discovery of the
Mississippi Stiver by Hernando DeSoto,
the Spanish soldier of fortune.
DeSoto discovered the river at Mem
phis. Yet Memphians and.- people in
general in the Mississippi Valley have
paid tittle attention to the beautiful
histofy of DeSoto who was burled in the
stream he discovered.
The fleet of floats making up the
pageant September 28 in honor of De
Soto will show events in DeSoto's life,
his achievements from the time he left I
tlie court of King Ferdinand and Queen
Isabella in Spain in search of the un
discovered “Fountain of Youth,” up to
the solemn burial scene from a boat with
full military and Indian attendance, in
tjie middle of the Mississippi Kiver.

A fortune in prizes offered in connec
tion with the regular exhibits and a
quantity of special prizes offered as in
ducements to tlie people in the Tri-State
belt to put their best products on ex
hibit at the fourh annual Tri-State Fair
in Memphis, commencing September 20
and ending October 4, is having effect
of interesting exhibitors to an extent
rarely experienced this early in advance.
The Fairgrounds when occupied with
all that will go to make up the colossal
undertaking will provide an array of
features sufficient to tempt the interest
of out-of-town and city folks seeking in
struction, entertainment and agricultural
and live stock education.
The purpose of the Tri-State Fair is
to aid in the development of the agri
cultural and industrial resources of the
fertile territory in the Mississippi val
ley. Believing that the agricultural fu
■ ture of the Memphis territory lies in
a rational system of diversified farm
ing. it is the desire of the Tri-State
Fair official-, to aid in developing such
a system and with this idea in view
±t
exhibits have been planned to show what
is the- best in present day agriculture.
Prof. Thomas A. Early, special agent
of the United States department of
agriculture, located at Memphis, will act
as superintendent of fair exhibits in
agriculture.
Prof. Early is in charge of the Boys’
Corn Club work in this immediate sec
tion. He intends making this a featuv;
of the Corn Club exhibits. The Tri
State Fair Association offers a long list
of cash prizes for exhibits of this char
‘ acter in which hoys of Tennessee, Arkan
sas and Mississippi will contest with
boys of their native state, first prize
winners in each state coming together
in a championship class for a prize of
$100.
There is also a prize of $200 for the
best exhibit by a County Corn Club.
A continuous moving picture exhibit will
show in detail what “young America”
is accomplishing in corn club work, also
what the Girls’ Tomato Club is doing.
r While corn will probably receive, the
place of prominence in these agricultural
exhibits, cotton, rice and other staple
crops of Dixieland will not bo neg
lected. Rice will come in for special
display. C. S. Bouton, of Springdale,
Ark., assisted by I. C\ Murphy, of Co
lumbia, Term., will be iii charge of the
exhibits of horticulture and fruit.
Women Will Be Welcomed at Fair.
Believing that the hundreds of women
visitors to the Tri-State Fair in Mem
phis, commencing September 26, will en
joy themselves more if personally wel
comed on their arrival, Mrs. Lela M.
Hudson, director of the Woman’s Depart
ment, has appointed Mrs. J. M. McCor
mack as chairman of reception.
Mrs. McCormack will be assisted by
the women clubs of Memphis, and noth
ing will be left undone to make the vis
itors feel at home.
