PUBLIC TOMORROW
DISPLAYS OF FARM PRODUCTS
AND LIVESTOCK ARE BIG
FEATURES.

Troy opens her fair tomorrow, Sep
tember %, and from appearances yes
terday will be we'll worth seeing.
Even with bad weather it will be
worth while for the various exhibits
are we'll housed, and the displays of
fruits, vegetables, grains, grasses,
livestock, fancy work and those of
some thirteen rural schools are all
comfortably housed. And these ex-
hibits are well worth seeing. 1t is
to be fair worthy of Latah county,
and if you are newcomer don't miss
the opportunity to see how really fine
products this great county OF ours
can produce.
Troy put ON her first fair last year,
and made a big success of it. The
entire country surrounding woke up
and took an interest, bringing to-
gether an exhibit equal to the best
ever shown in the county, and the
daily programs were clean and IN
teresting. This year not only Troy,
but every tributary town is to be repre-
sented with splendid displays of the
finest products from orchard, field
and garden, and children are joining,
having labored the entire year, under
the direction of the University OF
Idaho Farm Extension bureau and the
county farm bureau and here at the
fair will be shown the results of their
labors in gardening, the raising, OF
purebred chickens, pigs and other

same influence, will exhibit a most
interesting lot of homemade gar
ments. Some of these dresses would
do credit to an experienced dress
maker, and should prove OF great
value to mothers generally. Mrs. Il.
C. Hoyt of Troy organized Troy and
twelve of the rural schools in the sur
rounding districts, and one large
room in a brick block will be taxed to
accommodate this display alone. Here
will be found the vegetables grown
by the children, and they will be
credit to Latah county. One little
boy, Jewell Parr of Troy, will show
display Of twenty different vegetables
grown in his garden the past sum-
mer, while each of the many booths
will have competing products from
the children's gardens. This exhibit OF
the schools is alone well worth a
trip to Troy to see, for it shows what
children with proper direction and
encouragement can do.
The big livery barn operated by Mr..
Jones before the days of tin Lizzies
and other motor vehicles, has been
into a livestock stable for
fine horses and cattle, and so large
is the number of entries that every
stall has been taken and second
barn was being put in shape Monday
to accommodate the overflow. ~
Williamson of Moscow will take a
dozen or more of his best purebreds,
and other breeders will be there with
cattle, horses, hogs. and sheep. as
suring a worth while exhibition.
The fair opens tomorrow, Wednes-
day. at 10 o'clock with a parade by
the school children of Troy and
dozen rural schools in the tributary
districts, and each of these thirteen
schools will have float and outdo
the big street parade of 1871. Peo-
pie said last year that it was line.
It will be better this year. Don't miss
it,
Troy. known as the Biggest Little
Town on Earth" is united to man
behind this fair and the farmers are
with spirit that IS good
to see. They are making a real coun-
ty fair, and have provided daily
during the three days that
will be highly educational and tended
to inspire better farming and better
and will go long ways
towards inspiring the boys and girls
with higher ideals than the craving OF
even a scrub garden.
A long distance message received
as the Star Mirror goes to press from
N. Williamson, at Troy, states that
the exhibits of farm products and
livestock are truly marvellous and an
for even those familiar
with the Palouse and Potlatch coun--
tries. Mr. Williamson has Is head OF
