COUNTY FAIR TO
OPEN SEPT 13
Indications Point to One of the Best
Ever Staged in County
As September 13 the opening date
of the Stephens County Free Fair
draws near every indication points
tj the fact that in spite of adverse
conditions the Fair will be far better
than any Fair ever held before in
Stephens county While it is possi-
ble that the quality of the agricul-
tural exhibit may not be quite so
high as in more favorable years the
larger number of exhibits in this de-
partment superiority both in quality
and in numbers of the exhibits in all
other departments will farmore than
offset this slight disadvantage
In every branch of the livestock
department the exhibits will be more
numerous and of much higher quality
than ever before The dairy cattle
exhibit especially will be the best
ever seen in this section of the state
The beef breed entries are sure to be
unexcelled The swine departmnt
always the premier attraction of the
Fair is especially strong this year
and breeders of this and adjoining
counties will compete for prizes to-
taling more than $50000
Communications have been received
by the secretary from persons living
in Cotton Comanche and other coun-
ties who desire to eifter birds in the
poultry show which promises to be
the best ever held in Stephens county
The Cameron State School of Agn -
culture will exhibit a carload of live -
stock and poultry this fall which will
be a big item added to the competi-
tion as the Cameron School keeps a
splendid herd of livestock and a win-
ning flock of birds
More prizes are being offered in
domestic science domestic art and
fancy work departments this year at
the Stephens County Fair than are
offered at the State Fair and thanks
to the enthusiasm which has been
aroused by Miss Martin the woman
demonstration agent communica-
tions are being received ' every day
relative to entries in these depart-
ments which are sure to be good
Duncan invites you to be her guest
during the entire four days of this
her greatest educational instructive
and entertainment fete
