Fair Notes.


There were some most interesting
quilts exhibited at the fair, most of
them old heir looms. Mrs. Crissman
had three, one of which was made by
her grandmother in 1889. Some most
exquisite needlework was shown in a
white quilt brought by Mrs. Cowan.
Mrs. F. Z. Meade captured first place In
the most elaborate display of lace bed
spreads. An exquisite beaded bag
brought by Mrs. Hale showed the pa
tience of her grandmother ninty-two
years ago when child of twelve years
old, she beaded the bag.
Next year we should have histori-
cal department, premiums being made
for oldest and most interesting articles
exhibited
Premiums offered for best amateur
Kodak work and for most interesting
picture would insure another attractive
department in next years fair.
The Misses johnson surely captured
their share of premiums at the fair.
Friends of Mrs. Bird Moore are con-
graduating her for capturing first
premium on butter at the fair. This is
some honor in community of good
butter-makers.
Mrs. Hale's exhibit of china painting
IN simple conventional designs excited
much admiration. She had nineteen
pieces in her collection.
In this wheat country encouragement
should be given to have exhibits OF
everything in the bread line that can be
made from Kansas mill products-not
only white bread, but rolls and fancy
breads of every kind, and much en-
phasis placed upon the dark wholesome
breads made from graham, rye, anc
whole wheat.

Dew Is an indication Of fine
