ALBANY DAY AT Many Cars Will Leave Thurs day Morning to Attend County Fair. - REQUESTED TO GO IN BODY TO ADVERTISE FESTIVAL Ladies Are Requested to Wear Cow Boy Hats As Well As the Men. "Scratch 'em Cowboy I" - Also . "Scratch 'em Cowgirl!" While a general invitation has been extended to the men of this vicinity to wear the official cowboy tombreo it was neglected to say anything about the ladies. It was understood by the management of the Round-Up that the invitation would include the ladies. But it seems that the ladies are a little backward about assuming the responsibility of appearing in the regulation sky piece, while they are just crazy to wear one' they feel . that perhaps they were meant only for the men. Nay, nay. In all well : regulated buckaroo centers the ladies wear the sombrero as well as the men, for how could there be cowgirls if they did not wear the right kind of a hat ? A cowboy could no more be a cowboy in a stiff hat, or a fedora, or a tele scope crown than an aviator could fly without an aeroplane. It is the hat that makes the cowboy. That is why Fred Ward, Al Sternbery, Roy New port, Geo. Rolfe, Will Barrett, Ed. Bailey, Chas. Rawlings, and any num ber of the other cowboys' in this city are wearing them. So, if any of the ladies who have an'inclinalTbn"To -wear ' the latest style in hats want to wear :he sombrero they are not only wel- ome to do so, but they are urged by President Newport and the entire Round-Up management to do so. It is the style and the thing to do. Be sides, they are becoming to the ladies. The Scio Trip.

Any one appearing in the official cowboy hat with the official cowboy hat band, will be given free transportation, a free ride to the County Fair in an automobile. Round-Up signs will be in evidence on the autos and hundreds of people will be told about the big show to which, all the home folks are invited at Albany Oct. 12, 13, and 14.
