Weather. The Awards.
The second Food Fair scored success de-
spite adverse weather conditions. With q
temperature 20 to 80 below zero during the
week and bowling snow storm on the last
day less attractive affair must have ended in
failure. Had the weather been favorable the
Opera House would have been filled each day
to overf1owing, and as it was it was crowded at
times and even on Saturday night, when a
snow storm ragged and the walks had not been
cleared of the foot Jr more of snow, there was
a large attendance. The feature of the fair
which attracted the most attention and called
forth the most favorable comment was the
annex. A special feature here was the booth
of the Neighborhood Association of Sargent
vile, in charge of Mrs. F. c. Fox. This is an
association designed to help people who live
in little communities, to bring them in touch
with the greater forces of the country and
help them to secure the labor-saving devices
city women have. Mrs. Fox, New York
woman who has lived in Maine about three
years. organized the association and directs it.
The women who belong to it are taught how
to make pure foods and how to care for and
feed their farm animals properly, and great
improvement has been noted.
The apple exhibit of Harry w. Littlefield of
Brooks showed that the west has nothing on
Waldo county when it comes to raising apples.
