bv men only, but also was graced by the
presence of ladies who seemed to be as
much interested as the men. We noticed
he said. that the Board of Directors was
beat and they were fine body of rep
resentative men. They are all farmers
with very few exceptions and intelligent
ones too. They showed that they have
at heart the farming interests, the gen
eral welfare and the upbuilding of this
section of the country. They are pro-
oressiye. me-loving and unSeltsh. In
their deliberations they displayed an optl-
mistic. spirit. 1t was also shown that
they endeavored to bring about measures
for the most good to the greatest number
regardless of locality. In the selection
of the committee of arrangements OF the
exhibits, and other committees, they tried
TO have every section of the beat fttingy
represented on the committee-an impor-
tant committees they are. Monterey,
King, Cleary, Star, Clear Branch and
Plain are all represented on the Board
by wide awake. progressive men, and
the most OF them were in attendance.
The board will have nice catalogue
printed and distributed just as soon as
