ranged and constructed as to give the
fullest access for adjustment. and in

Monday Was Entry Day-Many Ex-

Monday was entry day for Wood
stock fair. There was the usual hus-
tie and hustle about the grounds and
this did, not slacken during the day,
under threat of a rainy day from
clouds that piled in ominously from
the east during the afternoon AT
nightfall the great part of the prep
aration for the annual exhibit had been
completed and it was at once evident
to an observer familiar with the fair
that the exhibition is going to be up
to the usual high standard.
In the vegetable department the ex-
hibits show that farmers in the towns
represented at the fair have had II
successful season. Many fine displays
show that the growers in that corner of
the county are producing crops that
are up to the highest standard. There
is an excellent display of fruit and
the usual tempting display of pastry,
jellies, honey and dairy products.
