Pike County Fair Opens
 and Success Is Assured

Troy. November 7.--(Special.) )-Promptly at F O clock Monday the gaes of the Pike county fair for 1916 opened and spectators entered with a rush. The grounds pre- sented a busy scene in the early morning hours for the exhibits that were not fin ished were being rushed to completion. The live stock was placed in the pens and everything being given a last touch for the formal opening. Littlejohn's shows which arrived Sunday night from Newman, Ga, were pitching tents and getting ready to furnish amusement for the big crowds on the midway.
 The school exhibits for this year take up most of the space on the second floor of the main building and are the best ever shown. The rural schools have responded to the enlarged space and have exhibits of much scope.
 The farm and community exhibits are on the first floor of the main building and are attracting much attention. Many farmers have individual exhibits and many communities have combined to make a large exhibit. All the exhibits show what a diversity of crops can be produced on a Pike county farm.
 By noon Monday most of the pens had been filled with live stock. Pike county raised stock are being specially featured and many fine colts, cows, pigs and mules are shown. The poultry exhibit is large and of splendid variety.

 I Just keep still," I begged and lis- l ten to and watch Mrs. Wilson. l Delicious fumes and odors now greet
 ed our nostrils as the famous lady
 turned her attention to cakes and through the little clouds of steam we
 spied the different utensils on the table,
 which Mrs. Wilson uses, as Sally Bugg said enthusiastically:
 T believe the reason I've always been l a dismal failure as cook is because an ounce from gill; now, Mrs. Wilson's cups and pans and bottles and dishes are all marked and-and-" Well, as I was about to say" Sally Bugg went on, my cooking reminds me of that part of the Bible where it says that a person doesn't gather figs from ! thistles; now, in my case, I do some thing like that; l can take recipe for
 cake and cook something out of it that you'd declare was pudding or i-or-or Cooking for a simile) we'll | maybe the stuffing for turkey, but
 never by any chance would you think i it was a cake"
 1 "How then," I asked, do you remind yourself of the Bible story of the figs
 and the thistles?"
 Why don't you see,' she exclaimed, that take a perfectly good cake and get from it an atrocious pudding?" When you watch Mrs. Wilson cook

 declared, as she saw Mrs. Wilson parcel ! ing out certain amount of sugar and 1 flour and flavoring and all the other
 nice things that go in cake. l Do you know I'm catching on won- derfully to this cooking proposition?" Sally Bugg said after a time. i've al-
 ways thought before that cooking was Ia gamble; that an element of chance
 entered into it more than anything else;
 but Mrs. Wilson has reduced cooking
 to an art, science, and she knows eX-
 actly what a thing is going to turn
 out to be before she ever puts it on
 the fire.
 "Yes, must admit that Mrs. Wilson's
 cooking is not hit-and-miss perform
 ance," I acknowledged.
 1 Think of being able to look a little
 old red cranberry in the face" Sally
 Bugg said plaintively, "and tell every blessed thing it could possibly do and
 to know how to manage it in each in-
 stance and to make it jell' whether it
 wanted to or not, and-and-oh, Mrs. 1 Wilson is a wonder, and I'm not going
 to miss single, solitary one of her cooking classes while she's here; she's 8 i a perfect genius; I take my hat off to
 her. and so economical, too; don't you know the men will all be glad if their wives learn from her how to save money on cooking, while flour and sugar and butter and eggs and every
 thing is soaring skyhigh in price?"
