PREPARE FOR FAIR
Now is The Time to begin Pre-

GET EARLY FRUIT READY
How to Preserve Your Fruit at
Small Cost

We are going to have the biggest
county fair ever held on the Prairie
this year and we should begin to
save exhibits right now. The early
fruit crop will be harvested in a
short time and now is the time to
save choice specimens. Grain never
looked better and every thing
points to the largest and best crop
of products in general Camas Prai-
rie has ever known. We will want
to send an exhibit to the lewiston
Charleston fair by all means this
fall, as this years exhibit will be
taken to the Alaska Yukon exposi-
tion next summer and be one of the
best means of advertising the conn
try could possibly have. Every
citizen of the county should take it
upon himself to act as committee
of one and do all in his power to
push it along. Farmers and fruit
growers save the best samples of
your product you have.
Prof. A. T. Erwin of the Iowa
Agricultural College suggests the
following formulas for preserving
fruits for exhibition purposes OF
course it is understood that any of
these will render the fruit unfit to
eat. The cost is very reasonable
and they can be prepared by any
druggist.
l. Dissolve one-half pound Of zinc
chloride in 10 pounds of water. To
this add two-thirds Of pint ol
alcohol.
2. Use one pound Of formalin to
A pounds of water. To this add
five pints of alcohol.
3. Use the best grade of kerosene
oil.
No. 8 is very good for strawber-
ries. No. does very well for any
fruit which is highly colored. None
of these are entirely satisfactory
and in time the colors are gradual
ly bleached out. They will remain
brighter longer, however, if KEEP
in dark, cool place.

Hereafter the bounty of $1.OO
paid by the state for the capture
and destruction of predatory
animals will be paid by presenting
the two front feet OF said
animal taken off at or above
the knee. This new ruling
is made on account OF the
hides being of no value during the
summer months.

MOUNTED POLICEMAN
Officer Not Yet Selected By the
 Safely Board.

Superintendent Beach of the po- lice department said to-day that he does not know which policeman will be detailed to do mounted service. He believes that this is something for the board to decide. It is some thing that has been talked of in Wa terbury for many years, but it re- mained for Alderman Fine to bring the matter to a head. An officer astride spirited horse will be some thing of novelty in Waterbury, but after he makes few rounds of the town nobody will take any particu- lar notice of him here no more than they do in other places. It is ex- pected that his beat will be across Highland avenue clear out to the town boundary at Middlebury, thence southerly through Platts Mills and across country to Mill Plain, through the north end and western section as far as Oakville. It was somewhat of a disappointment to the safety board to have the proposed auto for the fire department held up, but it is likely that this will go through later. It was tabled last night be- cause nobody on the floor appeared to know much about it.

DIVE RSIFICATION
 AT

Q meeting of the board of education the other evening caused quite a sensation in our political association. Alderman Scully went to preside at II meeting of the above school board. few evenings ago, and while he was simply doing his duty he was told he wasn't wanted, and he en- tered protest and performed what is known as 'skiddoo." Well, the writer of this ad thinks MT Scully will be very glad when his term of office is ended, because he's had. pretty rough swimming since he took his office as chairman of the aldermen, but he seems to come out on top every time. Now, some day he'll get left. For instance, he took the mayors place in opening the base ball season last week. We'll, well, if you'd see him pitch the first ball, you'd say he certainly did not represent Mayor Thoms that day, If 1t was anyone but the red umpire who caught the ball MT s. would have been a dead alderman. Any man who tries to pitch ball over the base and doesn't get within 101 F feet of it is no ball player. Say, we give balls, bats, gloves, etc, with our tea and coffee, and this week we give one-half dozen white cups and saucers with pound of Baking Powder, 45 cents per pound, at
