COMFORT ARRANGE MENT AT THE FAIR One of the important features of every place where thousands of peo ple gather, is modern comfort arrange ments. The management of the South eastern Fair Association has' 1 .been soliciliomi- not only f*r the health of those who atend the fair, but for their r onal comfort ds well and it is the desire of the management that every one shall know in advance of these comfort stations with toilets, wash bowls, mirrors, etc. the use of which adds much to the enjoyment of the fair especially to mothers with small children. The main comfort station is in the Liberal Arts building at the main en trance to the Midway; another station for the exclusive use of the women is in the basement of the Auto Building directly opposite this building. This place is really the most comfort able and has a number of rocking chairs for the elderly ladies who may wish to go there for an hour’s rest. There is also added conveniences in this respect this year in the grand stand providing for the health and comfort on a scale unknown at any other fair in the South. Pnvs’ Corn Clubs of Georgia “show off” at the Sout’ ca iern Fair, /v nCi c w*t« Uvy ;'' on horseback. Alongside this big menagerie is the Wild West of Dakota Max, the most complete show of Its kind that is traveling today. Rough riders, cow girls, bucking bronchos with all the flavor of the roundups of the great w r est of the past. Other features are Etta Louis Blake’s Superba; Consul the Great and Lady Betty—those great apes which have created interest and wonder wherever they have been shown; Stella, The Midget City—Jenson the great Magician—Serpentina—The Fat Folks Chautauqua—Over the Falls— The Midgets The Modern Siamese Twins with an autodrome where Mile.

SCHOOL DAY AT SOUTHEASTERN FAIR, ATLANTA, OCT. 11-21 As an enducational enterprise, the Southeastern Fair leads all others in the Southeastern States because of the possibility of giving the finishing touch to “book learning” to thousands of people annually. We may fancy we know T much about good corn, fine cat tle, swine and poultry, but many peo ple will learn that they really were poorly informed about these matters until they come in contact with the best produced in the world which will be on exhibition. In order to encourage attendance on the part of those who will be most benefited, Tuesday, October 14, has been designated as School Day when all school children will be admitted for 10 cents when provided with a special ticket which may be had by any school teacher in Georgia on ap plication to R. M. Striplin, Secretary, Box 1006, Atlanta. A special program has been arranged for that day and every child in Georgia, who can should attend.
