Many Prizes. Fair Board Ex-
presses Gratitude to Patrons.
Secretary s. C. Moore of the Com
mercial Club left Wednesday night for
Helena to arrange the Valley County
exhibit at the State Fair.
Since the close Of the county fair,
Mr.. Moore has worked necessarily
gathering together the best exhibits
and packing them so that they would
be in good condition when they reach
ed Helena.
The products which will be repre-
sentative of what was produced on
the dry land, farms Of Valley county
this season should be big advertise
ment for this part of the state. The
corn and grain exhibits will be ex-
ceptionally fine and Mr.. Moore expects
to bring back even more premiums
than this county won last year with
it's exhibits.
Over a dozen farmers from Valley
County will have grain on exhibit at
the state fair to compete for the
Stude5aker automobile offered for the
best wheat grown in the state, and it
is safe to say that they will have
to go some to beat the wheat grown
this season in Valley County.
Larger and more premiums paid to
exhibitors, with not quite as large an
attendance as last year, resulted in
the fair association coming out with
a deficit in the neighborhood of $500.
The farmers who exhibited are all
very we'll pleased with the results,
thoroughly satisfied with the awards
made by the judges and those who did
not win premiums are loud in their
praise for the winning products.
The sentiment as expressed among
farmers who have been interviewed
since the fair, show them all to be
heartily in support of the manage
ment. Many who have been interview
ed, who were unable to attend the
fair expressed extreme regret and
stated that had it not been for the
late season and the absolute necessity
for them to be at home harvesting
or threshing their enormous grain
crops, they would have been at the
fair with big exhibits.
The program of entertainment is
declared by practically everyone who
attended as being the best offered in
Glasgow by the association, and was
remarkably successful. The direct
ors of the fair greatly appreciate the
assistance rendered by those who vol
UNFAIRLY and freely gave their SER
vices as superintendents and judges
in the various departments.
In the livestock division DR.. F. N
Frisch, superintended the placing OF
the stock, and as he had been in this
position previous, it could not have
been in better hands. c. J. Carr hat
charge of the poultry department ant
also assisted in looking after the con
ditioning of the race track previous
to the fair, and va, of very valaao.t
service to the secretary.
In the culinary and butter and
cheese departments, Mrs. w. J. Grif.
fifth worked long and hard in superin'
tending the arrangement of the many
entries made. Mrs. H. A. Yotter
who had been appointed superinten.
dent of this division, found it impos
sible for her to give it the attention
necessary, and Mrs. Griffith very kind
ly consented to take her place. Mrs
Matt Murray, in charge of the flower
department was an untiring worker
in attending to the arrangement o1
the large flower display, as was Mrs
D. S. Williams, who was in charge o1
the fancy work department. Mrs
Williams was assisted by Miss Sophis
Bowling, and both are to be commend
ed for their work in behalf Of thi
department. Mrs. G. A. Axt assun1
ed charge of the art department fol
Mrs. B. A. Mcfarland who was ou
of the city. Mrs. Axt showed her ar
tistic ability in the arrangement o.
this department.
The school exhibit was installej il
the new room especially built for tka
purpose, and was an EXCEPTIONAL.
commendable one. The placing o
this exhibit required long and ardu
ous work on the part of Miss Johon
not: assistant County Superintendent
of Schools, and Mrs. Charles Tannel
of Hinsdale. These two ladies worket
steadily for several days prior to tn
