COUNTY FAIR
BIG SUCCESS
BLYTHE EXHIBIT MAKES HIT
WITH VISITORS FROM ALL OV-
Err CONTiNENT-CO At
TRACTS MUCH ATTENTION.
(By G. l.. Suits, Secretary Blythe

(By G. l.. Suits, Secretary Blythe
Chamber of Commerce.,
The thousands who visited the RiV
erside County Fair last week can now
appreciate the great and diversified
range Of our county's resources, and
everyone who helped make such a
splendid success of the undertaking
should feel compensated in full for
all his efforts by the qualification
and pleasure expressed by all in at
tendance
Especially should the fair commit
tee and Riverside Chamber of Com
merce be complimented on account
OF their care of details and for their
cordiality to the representatives
and visitors from the various local
tiles.
To attempt a minute detail of the
many exhibits would require the
flourishing quill of an artist The
startling, extravagant dazzle of it
all was enough to choke the sense of
vision and PERCEPTION. Each locality
by itself could feed our Southland
Queen or her sheep and oxen, but
it is the cotton from our valley that
clothes her and so in a very natural
manner we have the reason why ev--
eryone stopped at sight of something
! with trOlhlnH V
pressions of wonder, impelled by
something, such a contrast to the or
binary, so restful to the eye and so
suggestive of peace and purity and
dignified because of its mute. unas-
suming simplicity as to command in
vestigating.
To repeat the expressions of inter
ests emanating from visitors would
fill volume of good reading, spiced
thickly with the ludicrous. From
the school child with a fist full Of
popcorn to the aged man tottering on
his staff who viewed for the first
time a bale of cotton and touched
real cotton boil on down the rank
and file of spectators even as far as
the garrulous spinster lady who con-
centrated on hill of those Fred
Springer peanuts and in a troubled
tone of resignation admitted that she
failed, "to see how in the world cot
ton can grow on that kind of plant,
and the eagerness with which every
body sought souvenir, and the de-
sire to know its origin proved more
than mere idle curiosity.
Numerous requests were made for
cotton bolls and cotton seed by teach
ers who wished them to use in con-
netion with their work in the class
room and as a result many pupils in
British Columbia, Eastern Canada
and in most every state in the un-
ion will have an opportunity of see
ing some of our cotton.
The pleasure given to many south
ern people in attendance who know
cotton was genuine Their impartial
criticisms were generously given and
throughout the trial our cotton stood
all acid tests.
The confused ideas SO many people
hold concerning the geographical To-
cation of our valley is well known to
some of us and suspected by others
. Now is the time to follow up the
work just started and inaugurate one
united campaign to persuade the mass
es that Palo Verde valley and I'M
perial valley are not identical, and
have very little in common.
The purpose of the fair was to ac-
quaint people with the resources Of
Riverside county, and the effort has
been a success.

LUSCIOUS FIELD MUSHROOM.

This is the season for the full en-

room; when we have plenty Of rain
the crop is abundant. During the
months Of July and August the mush-
rooms are more apt to be wormy than
early or later in the season. 1t is wise
to look the mushrooms over carefully
before cooking.
All fungi should be avoided when
overripe or attacked by slugs. The
medium in which they grow often
causes a disagreeable odor and fiavors

MOTT ASIOUNDED
At GROWTH OF
HONOLULU

Il am indeed surprised at the won

morning prior to his departure for the

your city during the last ten years

no special topic, but spoke generally
along the lines of the need of an ex-

orient and in Asia, advising those
present to aid in the movement which
is carrying Christianity to millions OF
persons in foreign countries. He re-

shown In furthering Christianity in
those countries. That the introduc-
ton Of Christianity is the one way TO

ion set forth by the speaker. In this
way, he said, the great racial ecndi
ton which now prevails will be broken
down, and the people will be brought
together.
Following his address at the Com
