FAIR DATES
CHANGED TO
OCTOBER 25-29
At a meeting held Tuesday after-
noon here, it was decided to change
the date for the Cherokee County
Fair from September to Octobor 25
to 29 inclusive, which will give more
time for advertising and getting bet-
tr prepared for a reai fair.
Committees are being appointed
"for the different departments and the
publicity committds f as ordered to
get busy and get out all necessary
advertising.
The co-operation of c-ver man, wo-
man and child in the county is need-
ed to put the fair over in a big way.
This is your fair. What will you do
with it? It is a big chance to adver-
tise Rusk and every business in Rusk
to have the crowds here and it is to
the advantage of every business firm
in the county to help lead the march
back to a stable condition. Fairs ce-
m Jnt friendship of the citizenship of
a county. It brings people together
from every community and they see
by comparison what their neighbors
ate doing. They see whether they are
doing as well as they might do with
a little more effort or a change in
methods. The contacts they make
with others gives the m new hope and
renewed energy to carry on and to
help each other.
When people rub elbews at a Fair
their petty differences are forgotten
at least temporarily and they find out
many times that their imagination in-
creased obstacles and little things to
abnormal proportons. They go home
feoling better.
The spirit of competition in accom-
plishing any one thing is a power that
can not be substituted.
Let's join hanefs md make this fair
the best that has ever been held in
the county. It can be done and it is
Slot a big task if the proper co-oper-
ation is axtended.
Remember, whether you are far-
the principal lecturer at the meeting.]^ mcrchant bIacksmith,
or what, this is your fair. What will
you do with it?

One of the most interesting and!
educational departments of the East
Texas Fair each year is the East Tex-
as Jersey Show, which is the largest
Jersey show held in East Texas. Such
a show has be.-ome possible in recent
years thru thei increased popularity
of farm dairying, us a part of the
"Live At Home" program, because
it is the only farm enterprise that
has consistently returned a profit
during the low prices paid for agricul-
tural commodities.
In 1929, one huudied twenty-five
U-'i gistered Jerseys v,ere exhibited;
in 1930 seventy-five and in 1931.
there were one hundred eighteen ;an
; average of one huniiea six head dur-
ing the last three shows.
This years show bids to be an im-
provement in quality over previous
-shows because of the many highly
bred animals that have been bought
■by East Texas farmers during the
past year.
The show is open to all breeders
residing in Smith and the seven ad-
joining countits and has premiums a-
mounting to $325, in syite of the fact
that this years fair is free. In addi-
foree, bringing the total to 50. and ... , ,, . ,. ... ,

A good many politicians seem to
believe that the way to solve unem-
ployment is to levy more taxes on the
industries which, if a permanent and
sound prosperity is to be achieved,
must provide the jobs.
They figure that the way to get
more work out of a horse is to load
him so heavily that he is unable to
move out of his tracks' The people
must realize that it is from prosper-
ous industries that they secure em-
ployment, and not from 'industry
