PsOlNEEx FAIR 4 SICcESS

A visitor at the FAIR which was
held in Cioseftoa Saturday could
not help but be amazed at the
fine exhibits which were there
displayed. Chvestoa and the
Surrounding country is compare
lively new and this was only the
second year OF the fair. SO for
the short time. they are making
a good showing. The exhibits of
would do credit to a
much older community and it
goes to show that the soil there
must be, fertile or such fine veg
etables could not be produced.
The wonen's department of fam
cy goods was also very good.
The speeches and lectures
were carried out according to
and in addition to this
L. C. Petersen of Askov,
who has done so much for the
upbuilding of northern Pine
gave a short talk.
Cloverton people feel very en-
thusiastic about their fair and
will endeavor to make the 1918
fair bigger and better.
