$500 IN PRIZESFOR
FARM PRODUCTS
Exhibit to Be Interesting Fea-
ture Of Farmers Day.
Sports Arranged Particularly for Chill
dren- Senator Hepburn to Speak
MANY Prominent People
Promise to Attend.

There will be nothing lacking in the
way Of prizes to stimulate interest in
the exhibit of farm products Farmers
Day. About 5000 in prizes has already
been offered and the list is not yet COM
plete. One fourth Of this amount
is made up in cash prizes, and the re-
mainder in useful and valuable mer-
chandise. The exhibitor of the largest
and best display of garden vegetables
will be aJrarded nice suit of clothes.
For the second best, pair of SIS shoes
will be given. The best display of
fruits will be awarded a sack of sugar
and the second best pair of $4 shoes.
The largest and best displays of irri-
gated grain will receive the same
awards, while 750 pounds of high pat
ent flour will go to the exhibitors of
dry farm products. And so the prizes
range throughout the list. They are
much more valuable than those usually
given by county fair associations and
should insure good exhibit.
The sports will be interesting from
first to last. The chief event is to be
a riding contest, but it will hardly be
the one to create the most amusement.
Readers are advised to keep watch of
the CREASED pole and the CREASED pig,
the egg breaking contest and the
cracker race if they wish to enjoy a
hearty laugh. There will be a number
of highly amusing contests. The sports
are planned principally for the benefit
of children. Older people will find
more material things with which to in
terest themselves.
One of the chief events of interest
will be the address of Senator Hey
burn, which will probably take place at
IL o'clock, and be followed by the bar
becue. During his term in the senate
Mr.. Hepburn has gained recognition as
one of the foremost members of that
body, and powerthat must be reck-
oned with. He is unquestionably the
strongest man in public life on the Pa
cific coast, and he never fails to in
terest his hearers. For the older peo-
pie he will provide the most interesting
feature of the day. Other prominent
people will be here. Invitations have
been sent out without regard to politi
cal affiliation, to leading men of the
southern part of the state, many Of
whom have signified their intention OF
being present.
The exhibit of farm products will bs
the most helpful feature, and the ont
for which the day was established. In
terest in the exhibit is very great, ant
considering the short time available
for gathering an exhibit, it promises t.
be highly creditable. Following ar
