Colorado Is Bigger than Imagination The brush of fancy can't paint upon the canvas of the mind as wonderfully as nature's titanic hands have built here in the birth-spot of the mighty Rockies. But Colorado is a condition as well as a picture. You'll not only see a country different from any under the stars, but you'll be a different human the moment you stand in the shadows of her majestic ranges and bathe your worn and sluggish city-dulled being in the vital, sparkling, clean, clear, sweet air of the great American Highlands. Rock Island Lines through sleeping car to Colorado offers the best service to the Rockies. Electric lighted, fan cooled sleeper through to Colorado Springs, Denver and Pueblo, via Memphis and Kansas City. Dining car service all the way. The Colorado Flyer from St. "Louis and the Rocky Mountain Limited, from Chicago, one night on the road trains offer splendid service for those desiring to go by St. Louis or Chicago. If you can afford to go anywhere.you can afford a Colorado vacation Board and room $7 per week up. Hundreds of good hotels and boarding houses offer good board for as low as f 7 per week, and rooms at $3 per week.

The banners will advertise other fairs that are to be held in the section, as well as the Ashevllle fair, and the posters will emphasize the "Better Babies," contest, which is to be one of the bis features of the fair here. These pos ters carry the lithographed picture of a big, healthy looking baby and the words, "Boo-Hoo, I wanta go too, and enter the 'Better Babies' contest in the Western North Carolina Fair." Information is also given on the poster as to the dates of other fairs. The banners are the unique scheme that has been undertaken for adver tising the fair this year. They are about 15 feet long and two feet wide. One half of the banner is devoted to the fair here and the other half to the following events: Jackson county fair, Sylva, September 23-26; Haywood County fair, Waynesville, September 30 and October 1-3; McDowell County fair, Marlon, October 15-18; and Blue Ridge Township fair, Dana, November 5-7. The three points of extensive ex hibits, pleasing attractions and valua ble premiums are emphasized for all five fairs. ' ( This series of eventa is to be known as the Western North Carolina Fall circuit, and this year is the first that such co-operation has been followed in advertising. The association here has borne the expense of getting out the advertising matter, anil this mat ter will be distributed and put up by the other associations. The 22 coun ties of the section will be thoroughly posted, and the banners will be stretched across every Important road leading into every city and town of the section. The scheme is believed to be the best ever put In use in western North Carolina, and there is little doubt that such co-operative work will will produce good results. ' The management of the association here is now endeavoring to bring the various associations into further co operative work, and letters are being sent out to the secretaries of these as sociations asking them to meet with the secretary here at-some early date, next Friday afternoon being suggest ed, to go over other plans. . One or these plans will be tha proposed co-operation in securing midway attrac tions. Such attractions have always been one of the principal weaknesses of tho fairs of the section in the past, owing to the great -cost; but with proper co-operation it )s believed that excellent attractions might be engaged for all of them. Other matters in which the associations are mutually Interested will also be taken up and there is little doubt but that all th'' secretaries will respond to the call to meet here.
