Great Scott.

An Indianapolis woman had her first
experience with garden last year.
She spaded the plot herself and then
planted her seeds. Everything came
up fairly well in due time except the
potatoes, and they didn't come at all.
In desperation she went to friend. To
her she told of her failure to grow po-
tatoes. Il bought such nice, smooth
ones" she ended her plant, land

those great white beauties in the
ground but did and they didn't come
up, and -"
"Great Scott" calculated the friend.

Alexandria. founded by the world

September 1s, 10, 20, are the

our knitting and begin preparations
in earnest on the plans for the Coun-
ty fair. The Chamber Of Commerce
and committee from town will look
well after their part of the arrange
ments we are confident, but we are
urging that the farmers and stock
men, poultry raisers and all others
who are interested in the different
lines of industry begin right now to
prepare exhibits for the show this
fall This year should show the
greatest display that has ever been
gathered on the plains, and by begin

The permanent exhibit at the
court house is one Of the greatest ad-
vertisements for this country there is.
1t attracts attention of people from
everywhere who look upon it. This
should have the attention of the pro-
ducers and farmers. fruit growers
and gardnsrs should by all means add
to this collection as often as possible.

Most Of the schools will be going by

Of the schools Of the county come in

cational features, art, literature and
every line Of the school work, and
this will help to make the three days
worth while.
It is expected that there viii be

ations for the big show. Come, write
your friends about il, give them the
dates and tell them to be on hand for

Those counties who do not have
