TIE ORANGE EXHIBITS
drew the crowd 10 the upper hall. Paris
Grange had the north end Of the hall,
while Norway Grange and Frederic
Robe Grange Of Otisfield had spaces In
the middle. what did they showf Well,
II there 10 any form Of product Of farm,
garden or household that they didn't
show, Il IL something that doesn't grow
In this latitude. From che vegetables
on the shelves to the fancy work which
crow ned the walls, it all demonstrated
what granges can do n they try. Nor
way Grange had, II not the largest, ut
least the most compact display, and u
was verv tastefully arranged.
SEVERAL CAUSES COMBINED
to give the fruit shelf the most of "lean
and hungry look" that Il has had for
years. One reason Ii that there Isn't
much fruit on the trees. Another rea-
con Il that the grange exhibits attracted
the choicest fruit. A third reason, as
aligned by dlsgusted exhibitor, 10 that
the society cut or the premiums this
year on everything except certain
number Of named varieties. "If IL hadn't
been for that" he said, 81 could have
made something Of a chow here" Ger
tain 10 IL, the fruit show was extremely
light.
THE FANCY GOODS COUNTER

exhibits than did any other department
of the fair. The two things which at
tracted most attention were table
