! convinced UIldC CneE raise UNlugS up
there. Tackled upon the wall is a
motto on white background in
which the words ''Bogus Brook-Big
-Bigger-Best,' are wrought out
in apples. One big initial B covers
all the lines and is the first letter of
each of the words. Mr.. Jensen is
certainly entitled to great credit for
getting together such a fine assort-
ment of the products of the field and
garden.
The town Of Milaca has rather a
small display of grains and grasses
in the sheaf, and several varieties of
vegetables. apples and potatoes. It
is good but there is not enough of it.
Mr.. J. A. Allen did the best he could
with the time at his disposal.
The town Of Princeton, of course,
has an extremely large exhibit.
Every thing that can be grown in
this climate is in the Princeton ex-
hibit. Messrs. Berry and Mark
have, seemingly, not overlooked any
thing. There is no end of vegetables
and fruits, grains and grasses, musk
melons, watermelons, etc.
This department is crowded for
room, but no visitor to the fair
should overlook it. There will be
keen competition between Bogus
Brook and Princeton. and the judges
will have to score down close.
In the school exhibit building Miss
Ida May Schmidt was the first on
hand Tuesday afternoon with a nice
array of the handiwork of the school
children of district No. 4, Mile Laos
county. Miss Schmidt is one of the
most energetic school teachers in the
county.
Superintendent Marshall and sew
eral assistants are hard at work try
ing to find room for all the exhibits.
Space had to be found for the ex-
tensive Milaca schools exhibit in the
Agricultural Hall. The best part
of the school exhibits to our mind is
the farm produce raised by school
children.
The only display of farming ma
chinery on the g rounds is by John
Paul De Rose Of Pease. Mr.. De
Rose is deserving Of praise and we
sincerely hope his enterprise will be
rewarded by additions to his list Of
customers. Apparently he is the
only farm machinery dealer in the
county who has not boycotted the
county fair.
Charley Murray, superintendent of
the agricultural department., was at
his post in Floral Hall bright and
early yesterday morning and worked
like beaver all day in getting
things in shape. The display in
Floral Hall excels that of any former
year. Talk about potatoes is
where you will see them; magnificent
specimens of all varieties. It was
after midnight last night when the
| finishing touches were put on the
exhibits in Agricultural Hall. The
public certainly ought to appreciate
the efforts of the unselish and un-
firing workers.
Agricultural OF Floral Hall never
looked prettier than it does this
year. The potted plants and flowers
are displayed to the best advantage
and the fruit is tastefully arranged
Mrs. H. G. Cooney and Mrs. G L.
Staples, with number of assistants,
labored increasingly all day yesterday
to bring order out of chaos in this
department., and they have succeeded
admirably.
James J. Hill, the empire builder,
will deliver an address to the farmers
and others tomorrow afternoon at
y O'Clock, and John Furlong: presi-
dent of the State Agricultural soci-
ETY., is expected to give short talk.
President Bryson, Vice President
|Goulding, Secretary Stanley and
Treasurer Jack, ably assisted by
Judge Keith, were on the grounds
all day yesterday and were untiring
in their efforts to get things started
right.
The rain yesterday deferred many
exhibitors from bringing in their
exhibits. The management should
on that account deviate from the
rules and permit exhibits up until
noon today.
The only drawback is the weather.
The opening day dampened the ardor
of many of the fair enthusiasts.
With decent weather today, tomor-
row and Saturday the twenty-second
annual fair will be the most success
full in the history of the society.
