PREPARING FOR THE JEFF
DAVIS COUNTY FAIR 0CT.17-18
The Jeff Davis County Fair
is to be held in the Gravely
Warehouse in Hazlehurst Octo
ber 17th and 18th.
The people in Hazlehurst and
all over the county are getting
very much interested in this
Fair proposition. The Junicr
Chamber of C mmerce, the P.-
l'l‘. A. in Hazlehurst and over
Ithe county, the County Agent,
Mr. J. A. E. Cox, the Home
’Demonstration, Miss.\ Esther
Godbee, County School Superin
tendent, Mr. G. N. Yarbrough,
‘the teachers throghout the
county, the school children, the
ousiness men of the townand
county are enthusiastically
}uniting .-and co-operating to
lmake this the greatest Fairin
the history of the county. The
fcommitees are all organized and
at work, Its now up to the!
people to furnish the exhibits.
. We all know that = styles
chapge in evervthing, every
year and oftener in many
things. Styles change oftener
in wearing apparel than in any
thing else and in many cases
the styles chunge so oftein in
gets to wear the Rat as the
style will change while " the
purchaser is going fiom the
stcra to their home. T
The exhibits at the Fairs have
changed less than_ any other
thing. In. faes, the same old
line of .exhibits have been
shown and in the same old way
frone the time of the beginningl
of fairs up to about four years
ago. . “7.. = ;
About four years &go a com
mittee on exhibits decided that
it was time to change the style
of exhibits, as the old time ex
hibits had _served their time
woll angd were worn -out. This
commirey dé¢idid to makean
exhibit .do something" besides
£l ‘spuce. * They ' decided to
make the exhibits talk, ortell
something. They called ' this
new method Educational, so
many things had been called
educational that they were
atraid that this would not work
with a fair exhibit, but aftarl
four years along the new method
it is working in all the big stairs,
not only in Georgis, hut over
all the world. o
The way to put on an exhibit
at a fair now, .is to-have a defi
nmite plan in view, thatis know
how muth space : that yos are
going to il at the fait and then
make aplan on paper, a hlue
print so to speak, and then
work to the plan. The mew
way means that it takes leas
material to flll a boeth thanit
in the old way, burthat is where
the plan comes ¢o the rescue.
. Balance the booth, that is put
neavy stuff either in the middle
or on each end of the booth.
We will take corn for an ex
ample. “Caorn is placed on ex
hibit, and should be labeled,
corn grown and exhibited by
J. J. Jones, yield, 76 bu. per
acre, cultivated five times, w

hibit, have another exhibit of
corn. This corn grown and
exhibited by C. C. Jones, cul
tivated twice, used 200 lbs. 9 3-3
}ferti,lizer. yield 15 bu per acre.
By using this method the ex-
Thibits tell a story of themselves.
} The attention of the people
’is called to these facts in making
up their exhibits. =~ ..
’ In making up the seore catd,
‘with which to do the judging
the committee is using the same
score card that is ‘used at the

~Despite the very iaclement
l It Does No Marm to Do So.
We had just as well be honest with
ourgelves and calmly face the truth.
It does not pay to do otherwise. It
does not pay us to try to deceive the
other fellow or ourselves. Georgia
has a serious problem in the preva
lence of malaria in certain sections of
the state. It is not widespread, but
it is here and it is a statewide prob
lem.
It {8 no disgrace to have malaria in
|8 community, but It is a disgsace and
A calamity to let it remain in
a community since we know how to
rid ourselves of it. It is no disgrace
to have the iteh, head lice or chinch
bugs, but my, what do you think of
the individual or family that would
keep them fadefinitely. So with ma
laria in a state; i's a state job, not
an individuaPs job. If malaria ex
ists very long in a cemmunity, it will
pauperize it. It will not be financial
ly_able to-rid itself of the mosquitoes,
neither will it be able to sterilize
fhose who carry the malaria parasite
{in their blood. If every carrier could
be sterilized, that is, the malarial poi
sop in his system killed, he could not
supply the female mosquito with the
poison to give to a healthy individual
On the othiey hand, if we could kill all
the female mosquitoes, there wouid be
no malaria. The source of the disease
i therefore the human host, and the
omly earrter is the female (anocpheles)
mosquito. We further know that this
malaria mosquito does not bite ot feed
ezeept ot night. - Science haviag found
all thie out, we have twp methods for
#'fl state of thia one . ‘t::
struetién’ of all stagnant ?nwr ‘or
breeding places for mosquitoes. If
they cannot be done away with, then
the water should be treated either with
ofl or Paris green that the lava of
the mosguito may be killed. Next is
the steriliaation of the human host
by the regular administration of qui
! nine dailly. This is feasible, it's prac
| tieal and effective. It's expensive—yes,
‘lt costs good, hard money to fight
malaria, and for that reason we class
it as a statewide problem.
I Georgia had an intrease in malaria
| lost year. In fact, a decided increase.
I¢ i 3 not necessary to discuss why.
[We have it and we must not keep it.
Wae cannot have the disgrace of keep
| ing-i¢: We cannot afford to see our
resources sapped and deéstroyed by
this disease. We must fight. Georgia
must face the faots amd fight. We
cannot afford to have a malaria repu
tation. It's bad business. It's wores
than bad buslifess. 12 something fe not
done, it means no bueiness. Take it
to yourself. Would you choose to lo
cate or to live in a malarial section?
We want to see malaria cleaned up
in good old Georgia. We want to
offer ev l;'elp to our State Beard
of Hefi its work along these lines.
Several® meetings have already been
held looking to this end, and we hope
every community will come tonefir
and lay out its plans, Infected as well
as non-infected localities have their
duty te perform. Shake off your leth
argy and not shake with & chili, Shaks
out a few sheckels, if necessary, 0
you can shake loose malarih from
Georgia. Let everybody sheks,
present on this enjoyable ocas-‘
sion. The spacious iiving room,
where the guests were enter
tained, was beautifully deco
rated with Autumn flowers and
fern. After an hour’s enter
tainment, .delicious refresh
‘ments, consisting of a salad
course, sandwiches, pickles,
olives, saltines and peaches{
with eream were served by the
hostesses. {
