"The first agricultural fair in A-

was held in Cambridge, Mass. in 1804

article. "This fair, the conception of
which originated in 1801, was largely

tural produce and cattle, after the
manner of the English. Premiums
or prises were not offered, the Euro-

exhibitors' products could be barter-

the appearance of wealth that others sacrifice so much to maintain. If one
investigates further, it is found also that these were not procrastinators in the
matter of the nest egg. Nor were they adverse to doing without the showy

CAMERON ENTERPRISE AGAIN COMMENT8 ON HIGHWAY NO. 36
The Cameron Enterprise, one of Milam County's leading newspapers has
more to say about Highway No. 86 which runs north and sooth t'orough Mi-
lam, Burleson ,and other counties.
In last week's issue the following editorial appeared with reference to
the automobile route:
"The Cameron Commercial Club is interested in the Houston highway
No. 86 via Caldwell and Breaham, which is twenty-five miles shorter than
the Heerne-Bryan route and has thirty-two miles more of concrete road.
There has been for some time a detour in the Hearne-Bryan route
through the Navasota bottom which has made it so undesirable that Waco
highway bureau has been sending the tourists through Cameron. Some of
tourists have been diverted back to the old route again by % sign on the
near 'Watt's Switch, whieh informs the traveling public that the
cut off to Silver City is the shortest route to Houston. So that all
trouble taken to direct the tourists right is lost for those who see the sign
and head it
If the sign at Watt's Switch read "Shortest route to Hearne and Bryan,"
it would not be so bad, but it certainly is neither the shortest nor the best
route to Houston.
The Caldwell-Brenham route in Burleson County, while not hard sur-
faced, has been graded and is being drugged and kept in good shape. The
send through the Bracos river bottom has also been improved and this is
hy long odds the batter road from Cameron to Houston and can be negoti-
ated in about one hour less time."
The Caldwell News and the Burleson County Chambe. of Commerce a-
greea with the Cameron Enterprise and the Cameron Commercial Club, The
Milam-Barleson-Washington Counties' route is the better and shortest route
from the north to Houston, and the tourists will do well to negotiate this
route at most all times. The Milam county roads are excellent. There is
no question as to Washington County's concrete roads across that county.
While the Burleson County roads are dirt roads, Superintendent Ramsey is
on the job regularly and is maintaining our roads first class. In fact they
are good going all the way and fast tune can be made with comfort. The
Highway Department should control the signs directing tourists, and not let
them be left up to private individuals or selfish interests to direct the public
with misleading instructions. The traveling public desires correct end de-
pendable routing service and does not like to be mislead by interests seeking
personal gain. The News favors a law of some nature coping with this
problem that arises often.

NOTICE
"The fair itself is largely an ex-
hibition," says Mr. Lancaster. "It is
a graphic method of portraying what
has been accomplished. It is the
blackboard upon which are pictured
the results of progress, improvement,
initiative; the application of better
methoda and closer study. A fair is
not so much an educational institu-
tion as it is s medium or an occasion
upon which are displayed the results
of the year's education, a meeting of
common and mutual interest, where
the rute snd direction of progress can
be determined. This every i air under-
takes to do chiefly through s system
of exhibits, oompetitions,- conteste,
demonstrations and explanations,
whose main features are superior
crops, animals, machinery and the va-
rious products of the home and the
school.
