vain. William Mclaughlin is in charge
of the exhibit and it includes a Poole,
Bailey and Gable piano and another

the children ofthe county have responded
fairly well to the invitation to show
their products of the soil and the skill OF
their hands. There are nearly 100 en-
tries in this department and they repre-
sent the interest in our fair of those who
will soon be the mainstay of the yearly
exhibitions.
Troop 6.
One of the features of the Fair is Troop
6 in thrilling bareback drill under
command Of Lieut.. Won Leer. The troop
is one OF the best and their performance
alone is worth the admission price.

service. Six have been back from the
Philippines less than two months.
