If you want to see 81 varieties of
quilts go to the Wayne County Fair.
The reporter was rather inclined to
be interested in quilts, Monday at
ternoon, even if it was quite warm,
and in spite of the fact that it's
a right smart piece, and quite a clev-
er walk from the Maple City to the
Fair Grounds.
Indian Orchard Grange is strong
on quilts. These are some of the
many styles they have on exhibit:
Twenty-piece, Star, Silk, Tea, Gu
cumber, Box, Court House Steps,
Vine Pattern.
When asked how many varieties
of quilts there were, one of the la
dies who was supervising the hanging
of the quilts told a Citizen man that
she couldn't tell.
That's a question:" she said, ut
would be impossible to answer
They keep getting new ones all the
time"
Mrs. w. H. Varcoe, Honesdale, has
a number of interesting things on
display, notably some tall sweet corn
she raised from government seed.
There was no name to it, she said.

eight ducks swim around. You hook
them with ring around the neck.
You get 81 or a duck, if you hook

There's something new" said a
woman to the reporter, as she point
ed out a novel exhibit" Wayne
County Weeds!" And weeds they
were, of all colors, sizes and varie-
ties. Y
G. d. Fortnam, Tyler Hill, proprie-
tor of the Fair View Farm, has a
large exhibit of registered Holstein
cattle. The Holstein's are very
large cattle. They give the most
milk. The Jerseys are best for cream
and butter, since they give richer
milk. So prominent Wayne county
farmer informed a Citizen man.
The poultry and pigeon exhibits
are slow in arriving. In the chicken
house, Monday, were specimens OF
Circassian Ducks, Buff Orpingtons
White Plymouth Rocks, Rose Comb
Brown Leghorns, Buff Leghorns
Black Sumatras, and Red CarnaeuX
pigeons.
Yes, the farmers emergency churn
is on exhibit. They're quite a thing
too, and the one at the Fair this
year is said to be an improvement
over the ordinary kind.
Samuel Sanders, Indian Orchard
thought the Fair was held rather
early this year. 4" It's too early to
get growth" he said. It's too ear.
ly for this county to show up agri.
cultural products. It's been a bad
year anyhow, because it was so wet
and cold early in the season. Pump.

Exhibits kept pouring in all day
Monday, at a rapid rate. Privilege
men " were busily engaged driving
stakes and putting up canvas tents
and getting things in shape for the
crowds who will flock to the Fail
later in the week. Improved farm
machinery by the wagon load was be-
ing uncrated, and put in position
Everything was hustle and hustle.
Two State police, from Troop B
Wyoming Barracks, Elmer Lightisel
and Moe Pickars, have been detailed
by Captain Joseph F. Robinson t.

grounds. The chances are they will
have an easy time of it, for Wayne
county citizens are noted for being
peaceable and law-abiding.
