The Oklahoma State Fair tills year
is, indeed, bigger and better than ever.
There are no less than twenty distinct

and the showing is truly remarkable.
It shows the truth to the world about
Oklahoma and will be an advertise-
ment that will help the slate for many
years to come.
Every day will be a special uay at
the big State Fair until it closes on
Saturday, October 7, and the final week
is crowded with events. It has been
aptly said that the fair is nothing shoit
of 160 acres of education and amuse-
ment. Wonderful, indeed, are 'he ex-
hibits in agriculture, horticulture, gen-
eral industry and live stock. The pro-
gram calls for two harness events and
four running races daily and no less
