PRODUCTS Of First Quality and in
Great Variety
The Rockland Valley Commercial,
club pulled off their first affair the
zOth in a manner that speaks vol
nnnes for the enterprise of all who
mad a part in it. The people began
coming quite early with samples of
grain, fruit and vegetables for dis
play. The livestock and poultrA
was o. a nature to excite the envy
or anyone who had a taste for such
things. The club as a unit did mar.
~veiously well in working up the ex-
nlbit and in working out the details.
From President Chandler with his
active staff down to the humblest
member. each felt it a duty to see
that every person should be made
TO feel at home. The hall was prot
1usely decorated while suitable shell
ters held many displays of farmers
and their wives. Among the mahy
interesting articles in the ladies de-
partment were a couple OF hand wo-
e coverlets. one loaned by Mrs.
j. II. Wheeler and another by Mrs.
M. e.. Ogden, both of which are over
100 years old. Mrs. Ogden also had
on display a couple of bridal wells
that were a hundred years old and
several articles of dress and laces
that were from Is to 100 years old.
Mrs. Wheeler had in view a large
wooden blanket that was made over
fifty years ago and is still muse.
The display of preserved fruits was
extensive and inviting enough TO az
most tempt one to commit burglary.
a fine dicn1au Of nut ffnvrarc xra&
made by Mrs. James Frodsham and
Mrs. T. j. Mcintyre. Two loaves of
bread made by Miss Eta Howard,
aged 10. and Miss Esther Clark,
aged IA. received much comment.
Mrs. l.. A. Commons had on view
a very handsome %coverlet. Ed Webb
brought in a pumpkin weighing As
pounds from an irrigated field and
Mrs. Currier of Landing displayed
an enormous dry land pumpkin.
