EXHIBIT ANNOUNCED.

All boys and girls attending school
in Thurston county will be eligible
to enter the second annual agricui-
tural and industrial contest which is
% be held in Olympia during insti-
tute week next October, according to
an announcement just made by
County Superintendent l.. A. Kibbe,
and the list of entries asked for will,
it is believed, excite great deal OF
interest throughout the county.
The school children made sur
prisingly good showing at the first
exhibit during institute week last
fall, in view of bad weather condi-
tons during the summer, and those
in charge of this years contest are
confident that even a better display
can be made. To be eligible to enter
each boy and girl must be attending
school during the duration of the
contest. Instructions regarding the
contest were sent to all the schools
in the county this week.
"All agricultural products entered
in the contest must be grown entirely
by the pupil exhibiting Them" Super
intendent Kibbe said, in reference
to it. THE pupil must attend to
preparing the ground, planting the
seeds, cultivating, etc., and must have
no assistance except that the ground
may be plowed and narrowed by
some one other than the exhibitor.
Each exhibitor will be required to
sign a statement stating that the ex-
hibit was cared for entirely by him
self or herself.
"The list of prizes in the various
contests will be announced later
These prizes will probably be do
mated by business men in various
parts of the county and by others
interested in agricultural and indus
trial work among school children.
A special prize will probably be
offered for the best individual vege-
table exhibit entered by any pupil in
Thurston county.
