Country life has its drawbacks,

those who live in the country are
"Rubes" and Farmers" and hay
seeds to the cigarette smokers in

that they were born on a farm.
Take away the surrounding evils
that beset the young men or
women on the threshold of life's
journey in the city, and substi-
tute the helpful influence of ma
ture, and you fortify them for
the sterner walks in life. The
few things which they do not
know about table etiquette and
when it is proper to leave two
visiting cards and when but one,
they will catch onto much quicker
than city boys and girls will learn
to properly stroke the furnace or
make good bread. No boy or girl
need be ashamed of living on the
farm, for if they have taken ad-
vantage of what it has offered,
they are fortified for after life.

With no help from the authorities

two weeks on his way TO the State
Fair, DIR. F. Regner, who had
charge of the Baca count ty exhibit
at the State Fair, has brought, to-
gether an exhibit which has re-
tlected great credit on his neigh
borhood and has taken away sey-
eral of the first and second awards
in fruits and field products.
This WAS the first time in three
years that Baca county has had AN
exhibit at the State Fair, the eX-
hibits of the last two seasons hav-
ing gone astray on the railroads
and not reaching Pueblo until the
fair was closed. DIR. Regner sa d
today that with more assistance,
and il there had not been the un-
certainty that the exhibit would go
the way of its predecessors, he
he could have gotten together an
exhibit twice or three times as
large, and more comprehensive.
