The Fair, rather novel affair. given
under the auspices of the Dietrich
tract teachers and pupils of the public
schools. at the public schiol building
in Dietrich last Friday far exceeded !
the expectations in the large and vari- |
ed display Of products exhibited. and /
in the interest taken by all in the en-
terprise.
It was a new idea-this thing of |
school children holding a fair in order !
to bring together the fruits of the la
Dor performed by these youngsters |
who caught the spirit of greater food 1
production, and right worthily carried
to success their undertakings. The at
tendance was large and the express
sions of commendation and admira-
tion of the display were many and
gracious. 1t is a fact that the exhi-
bition of garden products was fully
equal to the best displays usually seen
at county fairs. Hereafter when some
inquiring pessimist doubts your abil-
|
forget the big things you saw at the
school fair. and tell him the size of
the pototoes. cabages, tomatoes, tur-
nips. beets cucumbers, carrots, water
melons. muskmelons. squashes, egg
plants, and intact everything known to
the garden.
1t will probably be a matter of en-
couragement to the boys and girls to
find that their efforts are appreciated
by the older persons of the community
and hence we must give them favor
able mention as prize winners as fol-
lows:
