Special Dispatch to The Call.


feet weather and with all that goes to
make for success, the thirteenth an
nual citrus fair of the Cloverdale Cit
rus Fair Association was opened to-
day. Never has the array of exhibits
more strongly exemplified the soil and
climate of Cloverdale, and the contigu-
Gus country; never have zeal, taste,
industry and experience in exhibition
work been more effectively employed
at Cloverdale. Men, women and chill
dren have toiled together, actuated by
/ patriotic desire, to furnish attractions
sufficient to draw people in from the
surrounding counties and to justify all
expectations. The pretty town of ClO-
verdale has reason to be proud of the
result No more beautiful show of
similar size has been seen in CalifOr-
MIA than is the present one at Clover
dale.
In a general way the present fair re-
sembles those that have gone before.
Oranges, lemons, olives and foliage are
used to adorn set designs. The guam
tity of fruit is larger and the designs
are handsomer. Collectively they make
up quite an imposing show in the as
sociations pavilion. The ladies of the
Episcopal church decorated the pavil-
ion with carnival colors, orange, green
and white. Streamers are looped from
end to end of the pavilion. Numerous
electric lights are above the exhibits.
When the pavilion is lighted, the dis
play is brilliant The Citrus Associa-

Brush; secretary. George B. Baer; di-
rectors-J. B. Cooley, G. Hagmayer, ].

bank enough to provide for the erec-
