the grouping of county farm products
including those from the field and gar
den, livestock and poultry, is unusually
interesting both to the local and out.
side citizen. The exhibit Is of a more
varied order than the one of last year
and is about as representative an
exhibit of this county's resources as it
would be possible to arrange under
present conditions. For this revelation
of what can be accomplished here, we
have numerous people to thank, chief
among whom are DIR. C. A. Hascall

Kent, vice-president and the ladies of
the Artemisia club. whose untiring ef-

general attractiveness Of the pavilion,
which today houses products thatnin-ty-

that would allow Of their production

grounds will be revelation to The
best informed local citizen.
The pavilion houses the Ane arts and

county fair, and they help to form an
exhibit that must 60 on record as the
county's premier exhibit, until such

present one for harmonious, intelli-

One display that is attracting lot

the ranches of the valley. A pile OF
