 For the first time in the history of the County Fair of Greenlee coun- ty, we have had an exhibit of min erals. This exhibit showed the cop per ore from it's crude state to { smelted copper and was much ap- rreciated by our farmers. Needless to say, the main event of the Fair was the baby contest. The prize for the finest baby under eighteen months was awarded the son of MT. and Mrs. Tom Dees or Duncan, and the prize awarded the ! finest from eighteen months to three years was awarded the son of MT. and Mrs. Gus Duncan of York, | Arizona. Tom and Duncan will | hardly speak to the balance or us ! ordinary folk, now.

They all rated so nearly the same that the riding and roping purse was finally dlVldea. The participants in these events
 
 Gus Burtcher, Mitch Sanders, Roy Adams, John Cauthen, Mrs. Babe Stockton, Miss Camilla Lunt and Miss Irene Bass, Josh Clark.
