manner lhau makes Ine latter uope loi
another day with her people.
Last Saturday was all Carb0ndale Is
and she more than made good her
promise to her friends when she threw
wide the gates of the city and said,
"Come, eat and be merry with u.s.
1t was the occasion of the first annual
potato bake and meat roast as well as
exhibition of potatoes, fruits, etc.
Scores of Glenwood people accepted
the invitation and all report having had
the time of their lives. 1t is estimated
that from six to eight hundred visitors
were in Carbondale for the big doings.
C. H. Harris and VIM. Girdner were
chefs for the day and the potatoes and
meat which they roasted and toasted
were done to dark brown, the cook
ing could not have been better as was
proven by the way the crowd of hun
grv people clamored for fmore.''
Potatoes, cabbages, carrots and other
vegetables as well as apples and other
fruits were placed in the exhibition hall
where every one spent great deal of
his or her time. And such potatoes.
Never has such a fine display of pota-
toes been made in this county, the
home of the best potato on earth. And
Il the future the slogan cf this county
should be, "Best Potatoes on Earth
for the Best People on Earth. - While
many of the potatoes were not large,
they We're well formed smooth and
Were just what the housewife or high
priced chef wants for the table The
whole display was fine, and while all of
the ranchers did not have their pro-
ducts on exhibition, the display was
such as to attract the attention of vege-
able growers.
The entire day was a grand success
with the barbecue and exhibition as the
main features and horse racing, street
sports and dancing to amuse the people.
