SUMMER FAIR
 PRIZE WINNERS
List of Names as Far as They Have Been Secured and Explanation of Why the Others Are Missing From List

A O411 A101 1 The Republican herewith presents 1 the names of the prize winners at the l first midsummer fair of the Maricopa l County Farmers Institute The list is not complete and perhaps never will be. It certainly will not be unless the 1 prize winners themselves hear their numbers called and come up to the captains desk. It all came about through lack of organization. It was | the first fair the institute had given and some things have to be learned by experience. The display was arranged hastily and before a good working plan as to entries had been devised Unlike fair ground or an older in- stitution where a system has been adopted. there was no such thing as making previous entries, but on the morning of the show every farmer filled his wagon and came to town Arriving he piled his stuff on the dis play tables and each variety was given an entry number On those which had names attached the names were pasted over so the judges could not in any way be prejudiced by the reputation of any grower he might have heard about.
 After the awards were made a clerk 1 began listing the winners, but before he had anywhere near finished the ex hibitOrs began removing their stuff and all that was left to designate the win ners who were among those who took their stuff away early, was the entry number on the judges book. Ever since then the committeeman have been doing their best to post up their books; that is, get the names of exhi- bitOrs of whom they now have only the entry numbers The list below contains all the names secured to date and the entry numbers of those whose identity ia unknown. Any such who 1 recognize their numbers will do well to call or MT. Humbert of the Arizona Seed company and claim the laurel wreaths he is holding for them and which vii, wilt if they are not called for pretty soon
