TORRANCE
is FIRST

Once more Torrance county has
won first premium at the state
fair for county exhibit of non
irrigated products.
The county scored 1929 points.
Lincoln county was second
with 635 points.
There was offered previous to
the opening of the fair 5000 as
first premium in this class. After
the opening of the fair the man.
agement proposed to withdraw
this-that is, they proposed to
make no distinction between ir-
rigated and non-irrigated pro-
ducts. This was so plainly unjust
that the non-irrigated counties
would have withdrawn from the
competition, They had been in
duced to spend their money in
collecting and taking exhibits to
the fair by the offer Of 5000 as a
first premium. Finally the man.
decided to pay $150 as a
first premium and $100 second.
The winning of first premium
in this competition this year is a
victory well worth talking about,
and will again call attention to
the fact that Torrance county
should get more credit than has
been given it in many quarters.
1t gives the county some ad
vertising of the highly desirable
Kind, and should call the atten-
Ion of many outside people to its
merits.

CHILDREN ENJOY
THE STATE FAIR

LhS vi oiSO SouhCJ oSSeANA VI
the Boys and Girls Club camp
at the state fair seemed to get
more than their share of enjoy
ment. At almost any hour of
the day the children could be
found talking and laughing while
taking in the fairs activities
from in front of a booth, sitting
in the grand stand, or witness
ing the performance of some
street fakir. The whole week
passed without incident to mar
the pleasure of a single individ-
ual. Captain Toulouse together
with the whole Extension force
set about to do everything possi-
BILE that would add one little ele-
ment of pleasure for the children.
All privileges of the fair were
open to the wearers of the club
work insignia, grand stand and
all. They were taken repeated
ly to picture shows and other
down town pleasures by those in
charge of the camp.
Our reputation as a county
was one of order and happiness.
Miss Annie Porter forever gained
the respect and love of the
children by her kindness and
consideration. Other delegations
were more than glad to have op-
portunity of being placed under
her care. Mr.. Burt made a de-
cided hit and was on the job
every minute seeing that all
went we'll and that the children
enjoyed themselves. The Coun-
ty Agent looked after the more
serious parts of the program in
arranging transportation and ex-
hibits. The county had the
largest delegation, really many
more than were allowed on pa
per, and it required nerve to ap-
pear on the scene with the multi
tude that the nine autos took
over. Since all of the children
who went deserved the trip, and
inasmuch as we had no represen-
tation last year, Captain Tou,
louise looked at the matter in a
broad way and they all got safe
ly inside.
The auto owners who furnished
the transportation free deserve
all manner of credit. Without
them our delegation would have
been limited and many little
one left at home who had worked
hard for the trip. Those who
made the trip both ways es-
pecially for the children aside
from Mr.. Burt and Mr.. Harwell
were Mrs. Mathews, Mr.. Burton,
Mr.. Marchant, Mr.. McGillivray,
Mr.. Peterson. Mrs. Mathews
responded to the call at once and
offered the use of the Dodge car.
The others were eqally on the
job and could see pleasure in CIV
ing the kids good time. Even
with this number of cars the
space for the children and bag
gage was limited and others who
were making the trip waited for
the start and made room.
Among these liberal people were
Mr.. Elgin, Mr.. Dillon, Mr.. All
man, Mr.. Kemp and Mr.. Garvin.
People directly interested in
club work see in the trip success
from every angle. The children
were offered the best opportunity
for enjoyment that the state
furnishes. Club work will con-
tinue along the same lines and
all club workers may expect
reasonable reward for their eff
forts while preparing themselves
to become good men and women
