possible for people Of the north end to

several days this week from his home

disappointed to find that the people OF
this end Of the county seemed to mani
fest less interest in getting together

than did those OF the north end. Aside
from our splendid grain exhibits there
was not much to compare with the ex-
hibits from the irrigated districts,
