ylous year. The busiest scene is, per-
haps, at the agricultural hall, where
the superintendent has all he can do
listing the products of the soil which
are being brought in, and the large
room will no doubt be well filed with
exhibits. Mile Laos made no ex-
hlbit, as a county, at the state fair,
but it is now demonstrating that it
can surpass any section in the north
west in the production of vegetables,
grain, etc. The farmers are alive to
their best interests-the believe in
patronizing their home fair, and
thus show their appreciation of the
efforts Of the Mile Laos Agricultural
society.
There is q splendid display of
fruit on exhibition this year, with a
large variety of the finest apples we
have ever seen.
In the horse barns are some of the
tinesst animals that have ever been
entered for competition here and the
number is larger than upon any for
mer occasion. Notwithstanding the
horse barns have been much en-
larged, it looks now as if there would
pc none too much room. There are
also many dairy COWS and calves, as
we'll as beef cattle, on display. The
farmers in this section are rapidly
improving their herds by the intro
duction Of blooded sires.
A very attractive display OF honey
is on exhibition, one of the features
being colonies of bees under glass,
Which show the manufacture of
honey and the incubation of the busy
little workers. ----~.-~.- -
In the bread and pastry depart
ment is displayed an excellent selec-
tlon-there is larger variety than
ever before placed on exhibition at
Mile Laos county fair.
In the department. of domestic
manufacture the fancy workplaces,
enbroideries, etc. lis profuse and
cannot fail to prove an attraction to
those artisticalIy inclined.
The industrial exhibit will be large
and many firms will be represented.
In the poultry department will be
found some of the best bred birds in
the country. The superintendent
will cheerfully tell you all he knows
about the different breeds, and he is
an expert in this line.
The amusement features will be
numerous and varied, and include
moving picture show and merry
go-round.
Governor Eberhart will deliver
nonpolitical address this afternoon,
Congressman Miller tomorrow and
Hon. L. G. Spooner on Saturday.
All we need now is propitious
weather to make the Mile Laos
county fair the best ever.
