The Fifth Annual Hood River County
Industrial School Fair was brought to
a successful close Saturday night.
With the annual stock show called off
because Of apple growers being too
busily engaged in their pre-hsrvest
work to prepare exhibits and no plans
made for an apple fair here. the
children's exhibits. which will form
the chief attraction of its kind for the
year in Hood River, had the support of
the entire county. Accompanied by
proud parents, diminutive exhibitors
we're here Saturday from practically
every school district in the county, and
the lists of displays were numerous
and varied.
"The results at the School Fair have
been very gratifying" declares County
School Superintendent Gibson, who had
charge of the preparations and the
fair, itself, "and the interest displayed
shows a healthy cooperation between
teachers, parents and pupils through
out the county. A large number of
exhibits would win merit at fair of
adult farmers.
Attendance at the fair. the exhibits
Of which filled the first story rooms of
the Knights of Pythias hall, was
heavy. Local business men. whose
subscription to the fair fund az pro-
vided by state law made possible
more acceptable premium list, showed
keen interest. The agricultural dis
play won marked attention. Tables
we're heaped with fine specimens Of
different varieties Of potatoes, and the
corn exhibits evidenced an increasing
interest throughout the orchard district
in that cereal. Hundreds of cakes,
loaves of bread and pies bore mute
testimony to the earnest work during
the past several days of future Valley
housewives. The center Of the large
room was filled with an appealing dis
play of wild flowers.
On of the most novel displays was
that composed of basket work done by
the primary students of the schools of
the East Barrett district.
The contests were judged by Prof.
H. e. Seymour and Miss Helen Cow
gill, both members of the faculty Of
the Oregon Agricultural College at
