Second Navajo County Fair Way
Better Than Last Year S.
Especially in Exhibits

County Fair is now past history.
No accidents, fights or calami-
ties came up to mar the 3-days'
festivities, although for a time
Thursday afternoon it looked as
If the rain storm was going to
halt the program. However,
the rain was Of short duration
but left the atmosphere in a
cool condition like winter had
arrived. The crowd was small
the first day (Tuesday) but in
creased on the two following
days.
The agricultural display was
grand. Many who had attended
county fairs in various other
states pronounced the Navajo
county exhibit of farm products
far ahead, for its size, Of any
thing in this line they had ever
seen.
The fruit exhibit was beyond
the expectations Of all-even to
some of the people right here
at home.
Among the products on dis
play out of the ordinary were
sweet potatoes and cotton raised
right here in Snowflake by Evan
Larson. The cotton is in the
boil but the sweet spuds are
fully developed great big fell
lows and look very appetizing.
The canned fruit and vegeta-
bic displays took the eyes Of all
who delight in good things to
eat. Most every housewife in
the county had some of their
canned products on display, as
well as the various girls clubs.
Many beautiful hand-sewing
and fancy needle work articles
were on exhibition, the girls
clubs also having a large amount
of their handiWOrk on diSnlay in
this department.
The curiosity shop" under
the supervision of VIM. Smith,
was worth seeing. Many old
relics. such as guns, pistols,
swords, dirks. Indian arrow
heads, soldiers head-gear of the
revolutionary and civil wars, a
steel coat-of-mail and hundreds
of other things Of equal interest
being in the collection, as we'll
as many relics of the late war.
An expenditure of a great amount
of time was necessitated in get
ting together this extraordinary
collection.
The livestock and poultry ex-
hibits were much larger than
last years, especially the poul-
try. Several fine bird prize win
ners from Winslow we're seen in
this department.
In the sports of the first day,
Hy Richards got away with
the first prize $50 dollars) in the
calf roping contest, Port Adair
getting second money. The sad
die horse race was won by a
Navajo Indian riding a one-eyed
grey. Young Holt of Taylor
riding Jesse Pearce's horse got
away with the pony race. The
relay race was won Dy Harry
Morris. There was no broncho
riding the first day on account
of no busters showing up for
entry.
The second day the Navajo
grey again came out first in the
saddle horse race, Reed Tenney's S
bay being second. Miss Wilma
Fillerup, riding Jesse Pearce' S
bay, won the ladies' horse race.
Earl West got first monev $50
dollars) in the broncho riding.
First prize in the calf 'roping
was won by Chas. Payne.

prize in the third day calf roping
contest and Earl West proved to
be the best broncho buster. A

the canned fruits. vegetables
and the cooking.
A young son of VIM. Flake, Jr.,
entered a goat in the livestock
exhibit, said goat winning a blue
ribbon, which was attached to
the animals neck. In some
manner the goat managed to get
hold of the end Of the ribbon
with his teeth, devouring all of
it. Evidently fancying this new
to him eating delicacy, other
nearby ribbons disappeared into
Mr.. goat. The little boy was
quite peeved over the matter
until he was given new ribbon
which he intends toSkeep out of
reach of the animal.
A wrestling match was pulled
off on Wednesday morning, Ses-
sell Allen of Dry Lake and Mr..
Lewis of Holbrook being the con-
testants. Allen threw his man
two falls easily, the first one
coming in less than a minute.
After the main bout, Allen and
Noble Rogers wrestled ten min
utes without a fall. The latter
and Del Rogers gave a friendly
boxing exhibition after the last
bout, with honors even.

The Shelteri1g Arms service was held at the usual time on Sunday afetrnoon with Rev. Joseph F. Cobb, Edstcr of the Universalist church, ill charge.
 Rev. Mr Cobb read for q lesson the 145th Psalm. The text chosen is found in the Gospel of John 16:32-"l am not alone because the Father is with me" Words Of Jesus.
 The circumstances under which these words were spoken were pecul- iarIy impressive. The ea- .hiy life of Jesus was drawing to a close. The in ,roduction to Q cruel and solemn trag- edy had already commenced That pure and noble being whose words had i.indled a new life and new tight in the hearts Of mankind, was soon to fall q victim to the malice of his enemies.
 Christ SEW the coming storm, and all the terrible events connected with His dea-l., rose up before Him in all their dark and malignant features The most painful scene was hte desertion of His friends, the defection or His chosen disciples who had been His companions on Iife's journey, and those upon whom depended the future success of lis cause. ln that hour
 when He nest needed their sympathy , and help they were to desert Sim and ] leave Him to pass through that ordeal alone.
 Christ had human heart, in which dyelt the strongest affections and { sympathies common to humanity, therefore He keenly felt the desertfon of His chosen followers. Yet t the utter lonIiness of His situation He i. I tn ir
 solit,zde and gloom The truth that God. lis Father was with Him gave Him strength, and spread a rainbow of hope over the clouds that surround ed film.
 We should place more reliance upon i God. truth and religion. Christ taught : Us ill Sis own lofe how He leaned on divine strength and sympathy as the ! surest foundation in days of trial and i lonliness When human friends had deserted Him. He was not alone, for i He had found a sweet companion and { friend III God. God is eternal. Truth never changes. Religian is never un- faithful,
 If we make the religion of Jesus our support and guide, we will have a friend that will never forsake us. i Where ever our lot may be cast, or ! whatever the UlSCOOI diIu and trials that surround us, or how erer lonely the solitude ill which We i may be placed, we should not feel { that we are alone but that God, the , Father is with us.
 Members from the women's chorus i, connected with the church provided the musical part of the service, which included the following hymns: Jesus
 Paid It All, Fight the Good Fight ot Faith, Now and What a Friend We Have in Jesus.
 The duets-As Pants the Heart, by Spehr and There is q Land of Pure Delight by Shelley. Mrs. William Young, sprano and Miss Nina Perry alto were most pleasing. William Huber accompanied at the piano.
 Home Chapter of the Kings Daugh- l cers provided q pleasant hour Of music
 at the Backus hospital Sunday after.
