to bring to the State Fair, one boy

held this morning in Manager Bea-
mans office. The premium lists in
these departments arc excellent and
only n few changes were made to in

girls sewing and canning clubs and
among tho women of the state. These
changes include the addition of can
ned meats. because the girls and many
rural women are canning everything
in the meat line from roast beef to
wild duck. In the needlework de-
partment some additions were made
to the girls lists which will include
some of the garments made by the
club members The lists for the wo-
men were made more complete by
adding more articles OF domestic
manufacture. house dresses, children's
dresses and suits from worn garments,
and many articles from flour or sugar
sacks.

workers was offered in order to Sc
men of Colorado. More women over
the state should exhibit their handi-
work in order to make this IA state
fair of magnitude to compare with

womens clothing and canning work in
the Farm Bureau offer one of the
best advertising mediums possible for
bringing in these exhibits.
