On Friday, Sept 2, the state graded
school at Quincy held its second school
fair exhibits Of vegetables. grains, honey,
cookery, canned fruits and vegetables,
sewing and school craft work, were dis
played. A short program was rendered

school may send their collection of pits

will be franked to Washington. Let US
see which school can furnish the largest
number.
