"We want apace for oar county ex-
hibit at the Oklahoma State Fair ttaia

play."
That:s the way R. L. Harvey of Cor-

Washita county in which Cordell la lo-
cated, and already many other coun-

Custer, Pontotoc, Comanche, Carter,

nified their intention! of baring col-
lective exhibits at the big exposi-
tion, which opens September 2« and
wlU last until October 7.
With a view of bringing everything
produced on the farm and in the gar-
den in Oklahoma, before the people
of the whole country, the Oklahoma
State Fair asociatioa baa offered no
less than fifteen caah premiums for
county exhlblta. In addition to the
first premium of $200, the county get-
ting the award will be given a hand-
some silver cup. It will be known as
the "State Fair Cup" and will be
awarded each year to the county ae-
curing first prise. The name of the
winning county will be engraved on
the cup, which must be returned to be
competed for at the next annual fair.
The State Fair aasoclation has offered
a total of $1,235 in cash premiums for
county exhibits.
Full details of the oounty collective
