 The boys and girls fair was held Saturday, despite rain, which kept the crowd of adults that was antici- pated at home. But the children were all there, nearly every one of which had from. one to several en- tries. The new feature, of exhibits of cooking and sewing by the girls, was most pleasing. Both boys and girls made the usual interesting dis play of what thy. had raised during the summer. Results of the entire seasons work could not be shown, for many early and midsummer vege- tables had passed their season. Sev- eral exhibits were most commendable. Ruth Bradway had one of the largest and best arranged exhibits. Eddie Sanger had ten entries; Harry Smith five; the four Belcher boys 22 varie, ties, and many other boys various garden products. Exhibits of field. corn by several were very fine. The girls took an active interest in the cookery part of the fair, 15 girls, all under 1 4 years, showing their skill in making cake, cookies, brown and wheat bread, rolls, doughnuts, pies and preserved fruit. In fancy work these young girls showed what they could do in making doilies, sofa pill lows, aprons, pillow slips, collars, skirts, dresses and dolls clothing. The floral display was smaller than usual because of frost and the later season. PnoukSf71 1nivo1 hounnoko orSsoc
