WHITMAN COUNTY'S FAIR EXHIBITS
Pavilion Filled to the Brim With the Prod
ucts of the Soil---Art and Culinary
Departments--Eq

Eldredge took first prize.
Cooking demonstration is carried on
near where all the good things to eat
are seen, Miss Alma Smith and Mrs.
John Richardson turning out hot bis
cults and serving delicious coffee to all
who wish to partake. 1t is intended to
demonstrate the excellence OF PomerOy
-four, but it also demonstrates that Miss
Smith and Mrs. Richardson know how
to cook, which is the main factor in the
proceedings.
Plants and Flowers.
OF plants, flowers and ferns there is
endless variety, artistically arranged in
the center OF the building, showing what
is grown in the Palouse along with many
other wonderful things. Mrs j. c.
Wicks arranged this exhibit. The work
was well done, showing skill in arrange
ment in making the display. Those in
terested in beautiful Towering plants,
and that means practically everybody,
linger to enjoy the sweets to be seen in
this part OF the pavilion.
This is simply a snap shot at what is
to be g. en- in the pavilion. As much as
we dislike to leave it this must suffice
until the premium list is published, which
will tell the story in full.

horses was missed this year. They have
