"And Oh, That Dinner!"
And. oh. that dinner 1t looked
like Old Home week when all the
children and grandchildren come
again for Thanksgiving, to eat a whole
years supply of all the good things
they liked when they were children
at the old home. Such mountains
of sizzling, tender-asb bre ad roast
beef. Such other mountains of
snowy, mashed Idaho potatoesl Such
dazens of pies, of every size. color,
content, nationality. creed, scalloped
pies, frosted pies, bald-headed pies,
pies with lattice-work tops, but
every one a work of art! And cof-
lee and cream, and bakedbeans that
would drive the Puritan inventor of
the baked bean into the Boston bay
for sheer envy! And salads, and
other things, enough to mae a good
square meal! Close to 500 people
sat down to this spread, which was
laid at the Methodist church base
ment. 1t wasn't a better dinner
than that of last year, but it was
SO much bigger that it was an his
torical event
Fine Stock Show
The stock show was surprisingly
large, and even more surprising in
exec llence. There is coming to be
a fine lot of livestock on the Rich
field tract; most of the standard
breeds, and all OF the species OF
livestock that are grown on farms
anywhere being shown. The big
gest showing was on colts months
Or under; full dozen of these were
shown, of a quality that would lead
most judges to wonder whether they
we're registered and from prize
parents. Lack of space pre-
cents naming all the individual ex-
libits, in this and in all other de-
)artments; but it may suffice to Say
hat the showing was really fine,
hat 1t was worthy any county and |
most state fairs, that many an adj |
1idual exhibit in the various depart |
nents would have won first place
II at least honorable mention in any |
ever held in the west,
nd that the farmers of the Rich
ield tract are getting the very best
here is faster than almost any othe
ection OF the country.
