The judging is not completed, but
among those who are prize winners on
Tuesdays awards are: Mrs. Warrick
Updegraff, who received the first prize
on the best display of vegetables. Mrs.
Updegraff is particularly skillful in
the somewhat new art of keeping
fresh all sorts of vegetables. Miss
bcrhood took the second prize, and
judging between the two was a diff
cult matter as both were of so high a
degree of excellence. Miss Carson had
an exhibit last year that took a good
many prizes, land the State Horticul-
tural society at that time asked that
her exhibit be taken before their Sep
TENDER meeting.
White Yeast Bread.
Mrs E Ingraham took the first
prize on white yeast bread, and Mrs
David Page was given first place for
the best graham bread Miss Harriet
Eklund was given the first prize for
tea rolls; Mrs. J. F. Schwulst, first
prize for canned fruit Miss Alice
Meade was first prize winner on
chocolate loaf cake, and Mrs D. H.
Forbes took first prize for Lady Bal
timore cake, and Mrs. F. Lynn Baker
made the best decorative cake. Mrs.
Elmer Eby received first prize for nut
bread. Miss Frances Walsh received
q prize on her pies.
The judges in the culinary depart
ment are also judging the textiles to-
day. The fancy work display is the
largest the Topeka fair has ever had,
comprising some five thousand pieces.
The work in that department certain
ly ought to represent the time of half
a dozen women for an ordinary life
time. The newness and cleverness of
the arrangement of the exhibit are
due to the planning of the superin-
tendent of the department, Mrs Nc
Cormack, at one time teacher of fancy
work in the Mills store. The pieces
which are placed on the walls are on
panels that can be unlocked and
taken down for close inspection by
the judges, without inconvenience.
Above the panels is row, extending
through the exhibit, of triangular
shaped hangers. One side is fastened
to the wall. Passing down the row
from the east, one sees the counter
panes in the exhibit, and returning
from the other side, one sees the
