Despite the war the directors of
the State Fair of Texas have an-
nounced that the prospects are
good for the best fair in the his-
tory of the association. While
some sections of the state have ex-
IMTieneed a drouth, the agricul-
tural exhibits will in many res-
pects surpass previous years, and
the directors are spending more
money than ever before for attrac-
tions, and new features will be
added. The fact that American
[>cople have not been able to go
abroad this year and spend their
money touring foreign countries
will prove a benefit to the fair.
Extensive advertising will bring
visitors from a greater distance
than ever before and the attend-
ance will not only benefit the
fair association but will benefit
all of Texas.

the use of these tablets: “I had a

The Modern, Efficient
EEEGTRIG PAN
The State Fair of Texas, to be held
Oct. 13-28, ha* tendered it* service*
to Ih-esident Wil»on a* a food train-
ing camp, to assist the Government in
ita effort* b> increase crop production
and reduce the waste of food, which is
known to be enormous.
“Our directors offer the service* of
our fair a* a food training camp,”
wrote President R. E. L. Knight of t\e
State Fair of Texas, in part, to Presi-
dent Wilson “Military training
camps are bein gestablished every-
where in the country, where men in
increment* of half a milion each
are to be taught the principle* of mili-
tary tactic* However, as you have
pointed out many time*, there is just
a* much responsibility for the success-
ful prosecution of the war resting
upon the shoulder* of the 100,000,000
person* in private life as there is upon
the men who are called to the colors,
for it is essential that working Ameri-
ca labor* hard to furnish our allies
with food and clWhing.
“The men whom you are calling into
service arc being concentrated in cen-
tral military training camps, because
it is found to be much qjore efficient
to train them in that way than by es-
tabli«hng camps in every little town
or village It appeal* to the directors
of our fair that there ia just as much
necessity for calling the great rank
and file of food producers and food
users into central food training camps
for a short course In the more effic-
ient methods nf food production and
food conservation,
done now, for the
hard to cure for
planted, but if we could hold such a
food traiidvg camp during the hill
following the harvest season wonder-
fully efficient instruction in food pro-
duction and conservation could be
givan
To Raise More Live Stock.
“To make this food training camp
unusually instructive, an effort is be-
ing made to induce breeders of pure-
bred live stock to exhibit in larger
number* of such type and breed* as
will assist the Nation in meeting the
demand for more meat, milk, butter,
cheese, leather, wool and horse power.
Manufacturer* of farm machinery are
being urged to exhibit all of their
latest model* and improvements, that
farmers may learn how to produce a
maximum crop at a minimum effort.
All the territory tributary to our fair
is being scoured to find superior speci-
mens of the varieties of grain, vege-
tables, fruits, forage crops and com
best suited to our soil and climate,
that encouragement may be given to
the production of a* much of these
crops ax possible.
“Since the economical use of food is
of just as much importance a* the
production of food, our woman's de-
partment is to offer a series of dem-
onstration* and lecturer* by food
TWO-A P A
specialists of national and local repu-
tation. to instruct wives and mother*
how to prepare and conserve food,
and check the extravagent waste of
food, for which our country is con-
demned in every other country in the
world In an effort to enlist the chil-
dren in the cause of food production,
the work of children in the schools
and Fields l.< to 1* exhibited, an dem-
onstrations of interest to children are

“Our hoard of directors sincerely
I trusts that the National Government.
■ mindful of the good which can be done
at such a food training school, will
operate tn the fullest extent in fur
mshing lecturers, demonstration and
exhibits, to assist the fair in accom-
plishing the mission it ha* upder
taken There could be no better way
of reaching the people in thia terri-
tory with Government propaganda
for the increased production and con-
servation of food ’’

The man who dishes out the
weather hill of fare for twenty-
four hours in advance says, "to-

dications this is a bad guess as
well ns a very ugly one. It can't
get much warmer without break-
ing the hot weather measuring
machine, ami it is already rain-
ing in less than twenty-five miles
of Ballinger. Turn up your tub*,
