A Unique Plan for Arranging the Fair
Exhibits
Every person from the country ex-
hlbiting any product at the fair will
have a chance at two prizes, first the
individual prize, and, second, the COM
munity prize.
There are ten and probably eleven
communities In the county that will
have community display at the fair.
Each individual In the community will
place his exhibit with the others OF
that community and the community
viii be allotted the space necessary
In the Armory for Its display. The
display will consist OF field, truck,
garden, orchard, canned and livestock
products, but no livestock. And the
premium will be given to the largest
and most artistically arranged comml-
nifty display. The premiums are $15
for first, $40 for second. and So for
third prizes.
OF course In judging these displays
the judges will give the greatest num-
Der OF points 10 display that contain
commerciai products put up IN the pest
