Greatest Southeastern Fair Seen for this Year THIS YEAR’S SHOW TO SURPASS ALL PREVIOUS EXHIBITIONS. DATES SET FOR OCT. 12-21. Presenting a picture of the South’s agricultural and industrial greatness, the seventh annual Southeastern Fair, which opens in Atlanta, October 12, and runs ten days, will break all rec ords for. attendance, is the prediction of President Oscar Mills, newly elect- j ed head of the organization of the, great fair. Scores of requests to the fair offices from prospective exhibitors concern ing the approaching exposition are in dicative this year’s exhibitions will be wider In range and of greater edu-1 cational value than ever before, be lieves Mr. Mills. Enthusiastic beyond expression about the outlook. He says, "pairs of today are fast becoming matters of i great importance to all. No longer are they considered of local or state importance, but they are rapidly be ing recognized as national schools. “The Southeastern Fair has been recognized as an educational force by the railroads. They are co-operating to bring the people of the southeast to Atlanta for a ten day practical schooling, worth many dollar# to the spectator. "County, State and the national gov ernments have recognized It and, all will be represented with worthy ex hibits of farm products of modern agriculture.’* “This year we will even have ex hibits from England and they will be coming in from all parts of our own SEES 7th ANNUAL EAIR AS CREATES!

It Just offers us an oppor tunity, those of us who remain at home most of the time, to see just how well we are keeping up with the rest of the world, when we go to the fair and see what progress they are making in other parts of the world.” Mr. Mills states that everyone is beginning to recognize the value in the Southeastern Fair as community gathering. It affords an opportunity for the farmer to see the manufactur er’s product in actual operation before he buys, and it gives the farmer ar opportunity to present his product ol the soil which he hopes to sell at e reasonable price above the cost of pro duction. “Years of experience in building a fair which will mirror the industria and rural life of the southeast have taught us that entertainment is a nec essary devision of the fair,” asserts Secretary R. M. Striplin, “so we are 'Presenting each year, a more whole some and a cleaner type of entertain I ment. “The fair of ten years ago would not be tolerated today. The exhibi tions. the amusements, and everything connected-with it would be hooted as terrible and would not be accepted by those who are in the market of life to get full value. Public sentiment has demanded a bigger and better fait each year, and the 1922 exposition ol the Southeastern Fair will be a far better fair than any- previous exhl bition in the history of the associa tion. * X “Present indications," says Mr Striplin, "are the counties this year will send more and better exhibits of farm products Improved cattle and swine, are promised by these ex hibitors, and poultry men are showing more interest since they have been given a modern exhibit hall in which to show their specimens. “Our boys and girls on the farm are being urged to bring their live stock to the fair and exhibit. It is a mightly influence for good when you give the youngster some encourage ment and one of the goals of the Southeastern Fair is this.” “The majority of the fair patrons will welcome the news that thoroughbred running races will supplant the annual Grand Circuit racing card at the fair,” asserts Mr. Mills, for this year we ars going to stage six days for running races between October 16 to 2L ‘ .. j _ Children’s Day at the Southeastern Fair 9 fiMMF . . ■ ■< - -La ........ . x, »■ f 1 A i ’-Mi '■-< A J I s y iiaKr' x Thousands of youngsters like these two wili swarm Atlanta's Lakewood Park on Childrens Day at the Southeastern Fair which is Tuesday, October 17th.
