Visitors at the one day fair, held at
Glasgow Monday were not easily con-
vinced that Valley county was in the
drouth-stricken region. A better dis
play of grains and vegetables is not
found in very many places, and the
table of flowers and strawberries and
plums made it evident that it is pos
sible to raise almost anything here.
Fine Display
The vegetables were especially fine.
Herman Sieving, whose gardens are
on the southwest edge of town, has
had remarkable success this year and
his large seedless cucumbers, his big
solid cabbages, tomatoes, corn, beets
and an endless variety of other vege-
tables were in the list of prize win
ners.
The boys and girls club of the
county exhibited nice lot of pota-
toes, corn, egg plant, beans and
canned vegetables, and many of the
girls had some fine looking jars of
canned vegetables.
One doesn't generally consider this
part Of Montana as a fruit-raising
country, but at the fair were some
fine looking strawberries and little
branch of plums, also a dish of Won
der berries.

sided over by Mrs. Blanche Phillips,

l.. Byer, who lives Is miles northwest
of Glasgow. Winter radishes, lettuce,
corn and fine looking beets were dis
played here.
The large number of beets at the
fair showed that beet raising is in
creasing in favor in Valley county
Both white and red sugar beets and
many mangelwurtzels were shown.
The large, smooth Blue Victor pota-
toes We're something of a novelty, as
were the yellow globe turnips.
The fancy work display drew the
attention of the women. Mrs. Whar-
ton exhibited beautiful linen lunch
con set which called for favorable
comment. Mrs. Raffety is accom-
plished with her crochet needle and
several lovely patterns of her work
were shown.
Miss Nellie Johonnot had charge of
the rural school exhibit. The children
throughout the county have been
working diligently and have to show
for the past year some excellent
drawings, neatly written compost
tions and fine needlework. The Avon
dale school was we'll represented.
Although small. the live stock de-
partment was of interest, especially to
the children. The Raffety twins had
on display some. fine chickens, which
went away with the blue ribbon. Mere
chickens. some rabbits and one pig
completed this part of the attrac-
tions.
County Agent Murray E. Stebbirs
and L. E. Jones were in a large de-
gree responsible for the success of
the venture. They knew what possi-

ears washed along about tomorrow or
the next day and will be the hero of
a general slick up, beginning with
brushed hair and ending with shoes
and stockings.
Because Johnny has to get into the
game again next Monday morning.
The occasion is the long -looked-for
First Day of School.
There will be an added thrill for
a lot Of little Johnnies and Sadies
this year, because several grades of
the Glasgow public schools are to be
in charge of that never-failing source
of thrills-new teachers.
Superintendent Williams announces
that there are not many changes in
the curriculum this year. All the
courses offered last term will be
given again, with the exception of
agriculture. This will not cause Sc
rious Inconvenience to any students,
because substitute courses will be
given this year. The normal training
department will be developed as much
as possible, because of the great
scarcity Of teachers for the country
schools. Miss Forster has been at
Helena the last week attending con-
ference of the normal teachers of the
state, called by Miss Trumper, so our
course will follow explicit instructions
from the state department.
