And Writes II Up for Us.
This marked the sixteenth milestone
covered along progressive ways when
Saturday evening Of the past week
closed the Bossier Parish Fair held in
Bossier City the four preceding days.
The fair opened Wednesday and con-
tinued through Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. Wednesday was the open
ing day or Shreveport and Farmers
Day. Thursday was Benton, Plain
Dealing and Haughton Day. Friday
was Parents and School Children's
Day and the last day, Saturday, was
Everybody's and Entertainment Day.
Contrary to hopes and expectations
Of the fair COMMITTEES, and to the ma
jority Of the citizens Of the parish,
there was not very much competition
among the exhibitors as was antici-
pated before the fair. However, the
finest kind and is true sample Of
what Bossier is able and can produce
easily.
In the Educational Department the
first thing noticeable was lack OF
rivalry among the four high schools
Of the parish. Bossier City was the
only school that had its department
and very few exhibits from other
schools were seen. Some Of the exllib-
its from Bossier High that deserve
mention was several fine artistic pic
lures that looked to be drawn with skill
and We're signed M. 4. NJ, 21." The
Kindergarten features also were good.
In the Ladies' Department there
seemed to be more rivalry than in the
other departments. Needlecraft being
| the more noticeable. There was a
| large bedroom set made of cotton by
grown at home, ginned ut home and
woven at home and in BOSsier Parish,
too, that deserved special attention as
this exhibit will. be on display at the
State Fair at Shreveport. Mems
shirts made by a woman Of North
Bossier also deserved notice.
Mr.. J. $. station and Mr.. Sam Lee,
neighbors, both living in the Haughton
/ vicinity. had the best exhibits In ribbon
cane and sorghum syrup, respectively.
Mr.. f. #. Vickers, also of HaughtOn,
received the premium for the water-
melon entry. Two of the curios that
were entered in the Agriculture lie:
partment were a long dish rag gourd
with this inscription on it, Babes
Bat" The other curio was Brazilian
artichoke weighing twenty-one pounds
some size too.
In the legume booth, signs were
placed about conspiculously to denote
that Bossier had better homes, better
soil and larger crops and to ''plant
more legumes.'
The shows were there too, large and
small. also It's compliments. the merry
go-round, the ferris wheel and red lem
Onade.
The athletic events were trian
gular "mix-up" between the boys and
girls basket ball teams Of Plain Deal
