ticipate with Excellent Exhibits Of

fNtNeesHtNof LNNs
From early in the morning until late
in the afternoon, when the children
began to gather up their displays and
depart for home with happy smiles, the
rooms of the courthouse and the lawns
surrounding the building were thronged
with visitors last Saturday that they
might inspect the exhibits of the Hood
River county school fair. The entries
surpassed the expectations of the
judges and chickens, rabbits. vegeta-
bles, breads, pies, needlework and
flowers were brought in in large guam
titles.
81 have never seen a larger and bet
ter display of flowers, whether the ex.
hibitors were old or young" said n G.
Maris, who has been touring the state
in the interest of the fairs. The
dahlias. sweet peas and asters were
superb.
1--WE were mighty well pleased with
the way the children have turned out
and at their intense rivalry" says
Prof. c. d. Thompson, county school
superintendent. "The number of en-
tries was far greater than last year,
and there was displayed an increasing
interest in the fair among the par
ents. :"
j. r. Nikelsen, who has been the
judge of the poultry exhibits for the
past two years, says the exhibit of
chickens this year was far better than
that of last year.
The pastry and pie exhibits created
more interest than any others. Tiny
tots, not yet in their teens had baked
bread and delicious looking pies that
created the envy of older housewives.
With the exception of the apple ex
hibit. where the two classes we're COM
bined. the children were divided into
