The big event OF the week was the
fair held here Friday. All parts of
the district were we'll represented
and the exhibits were really a surprise
both in quantity and quality. All
kinds of grain and vegetables suit
able TO our climate were represented
bv first class specimens. James Mil
Ter had a fine exhibit from his apiary
and a few fine chickens were shown
The school exhibit covered one side
wall and a table and furnished a very
convincing proof of the excellent
nualitv of our teaching corps.
Quite a number brought basket
dinners with them and social time
was enjoyed at noon while eating the
many. good things provided.
A stand furnished ice cream during
the afternoon and evening.

Mr. Mccall, the Canyon County Farm

crops.
