CHANGE METHOD
OF CROP SHOWS
FOR STATE FAIR
Individual County Exhibits Dis
continued; to Combine All
Products in Five Displays.

! Discontinuance of individual countv
exhibits and the substitution of a plau
calling for the display Of agricultural
products of the state in five divisions,
was recently decided upon by the state
fair board. according to II. II. Sum-
ner, superintendent of the agricultural
products division of the fair, who was
a visitor in Great Falls Thursday.
'This does not mean" said Mr..
Sumner. that counties entering ex-
hibits at the fair will lose their identi-
ty by the assembling of products for
the five displays. As has been done
IN the past. accurate records of county
entries will be kept and prizes for the
best exhibits will be given as usual.
The products will be entered in five
divisions, corn, potatoes. vegetables and
roots, grains, and forage"
Already considerable interest is be-
ing shown in the 1922 fair, Mr.. Sum-
ner said. Forty-five Of the counties
nave named advisory members to the
fair board and these representatives
are at work lining up exhibits for their
counties, he continued. In preparation
for what he believes will be the best
fair in history, the agricultural build
ing is being remodeled and a skilled
decorator will be in charge of the place.
In his trip about the state, Mr..
Sumner is advising county agents to
start at once the preparation of for
age exhibits as grasses. alfalfa and
other similar products. at the present
stage Of growth. make the best display.

Frank Hops Relates
Catch of 80 Trout
With Truthful Look

The way to go fishing, in the opinion
of Frank Hops, is to get a good partner
and hit the trail. He and John Haiek
went to the Highwood mountains last
Saturday evening and returned Wednes-
day morning with tales of a tip tor
Fourth of July spent in the hills and
off the beaten track.
So well did Mr.. Hops like the spot
where he and his companion found
shade and trout in plenty. that be has
established a cabin there and states
he expects to spend all the time he
can snatch from his duties here, loafing
and living at his fisherman's paradise
in the hills.
I'VE caught so trout" he said-and
his expression was truthful.

Sandy's Prediction for Sons Future,
However, Contained One Rather
Unfortunate Proviso.

In Scotland there is told a story of
one Sandy Mcintosh, who started to
build small clubhouse of brick. After
the usual plan of bricklayers he
worked from the inside, and, as he had
the material close beside him. the
walls were rising fast when noon ar
rived, and with it his son, John, who
brought his fathers dinner.
With honest pride in his eye. Sandy
looked at John over the wall on which
he was engaged, and asked:
''How de We think l am gettin' on p
Slime, father; but how dae We get
DOT? You've forgot the door?"
One glance around him showed
Sandy that his son was right; but,
looking at him kindly, he said:
