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

The management of the Western
Norttt Carolina Fair' association is to
day sending out the banners and pos
ters that are to be used all over the
section In advising the fair, which is
to be held here October 7-10. 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.
