50. many people have been attendin,
and seem to bc enjoying tho enter
talnment provided.
The pavilion displays are right
up to ths mark. especially In thii
true OF the womens' department
There never was finer display Of
fancy work ever exhibited In Harne,
county. There are over 100 exhibit
ors Ia this department and the dis
plays are varied. which includes sew.
,ral hundred articles.
Among the interesting things to
be seen In that department are soma
Alaska relics loaned by Mrs sutton;
also several articles OF handiwork In
wood aud cloth iaoned BY Rox. l.. s.
Tracy that he gathered during his
missionary services IN the Orient.
The school exhibit ia another that
deserves special attention. although
Il requires time to really appreciate
this display. The work OF ,he school
children along the line OF maps and
note books will compare favorably
with any school in the entire north
west Had the fair movement been
started earlier In the year the schools
would have had a better opportunity
to have made an exhibit. but the dis
play had To be hurriedly secured
since tho opening OF the fall terms
within the past three weeks.
Another pretty feature In that wing
OF the pavilion is the doll house. This
attracts much attention and deserves
Il. Mrs. Schwartz has a nice dis
play OF baby things In keeping with
the doll house and the baby show.
The cut flowers. potted plants and
art exhibits also come in for a share
OF praise. Some OF the painting on
exhibition are tho work OF home peo-
pie. three painting being done by u
Sister OF st. Joseph Hospital that
are much admired.
Cakes. bread. canned fruit and
other good things 20 eat are on dis
play on one table. There should have
been more canned fruit but unfor-
tunately II was left out OF the prem
ium list and the housewives did not
know about bringing Il.
The women are entitled To- the
credit for tho fine displays In the
pavilion. Had II not been for them II
would likely have rather a barren
looking affair.
G. A Byrd is In charge of the farm
and garden products in the other
wing Of the pavilion. This display
Is good, although not as large and
complete as II could have been. That
Is one thing that In neglected
bringing in OF farm and garden pro-
ducts by farmers and gardeners. II
10 too much to expect the fair man
agement to 20 out and gather these
exhibits for every Individual connect
ed with the fair has his or her pri-
Sate affairs 10 look after In addition
10 the duties OF the fair. II Is not
an accommodation 10 tho fair board
10 merely give them the privilege OF
taking exhibits from ones farm or
garden II isn't their fair any more
than the other fellows. However, this
Is not the time or place 10 complain
OF thege things. The fact In there
are some of the best grain. grasses
and vegetables on display In that de-
pertinent as one will find anywhere
the lack OF quantity In made M
In quality.
On entering the north door OF this
wing OF the pavilion one first sees
a hive OF bees at work from the
Percy Davis Apiary over at Drewsey.
This IL a display as honey bees are
not numerous In Harvey county. A
section OF comb honey is a part OF
This display.
To the right as you enter Is the
display OF the Experiment Station |
which Is one OF the most complete
IN the pavilion. This Is not there In
competition with the farm products
but merely an exhibition OF the work
Oh the station this season. The for
ago crops are represented by field
peas which averaged 1874 tons per
acre NJ the silage stage; sunflQwers

irrigated land and 1915 tons on dr.
Iarm plots; there is also shown hemp
