Olton is the county site Of Lamb

when first arriving at that place and
taking a look az the splendid school
building. which is indeed credit
10 the entire county, we were made
10 wonder how il could have been
built on such large scale in such
small place. and we got the surprise
of our life when automobiles be-
gan 10 come in sight, and before
they were all there the spacious
auditorium was crowded TO fuil cap
aeity.
The most noticeable feature about
the crowd MAS thst the people are
enthusiastic boosters and builders,
and after learning that they would
make q fifteen thousand dollar ex-
tension 10 the building and making
inquiry as 70 how the people felt
about the matter, We learn that

The widespread interest shown In
ths fair exhibit Of the Lamb county
booth was conclusive evidence that
those people work together for the
betterment of their surroundings,
and will take advantage Of that op-
portunity TO advertise the possibiii-
tie. Of that great section Of the
mains. They had a booth here last
year which was credit TO the Fair,
and We were glad 10 know that they
are planning on making the one
this wear larger and better in many
respects. and should they take home
many Of the prizes we will not be
AZ all surprised.
Prof. Duprc, ex-president Of the
Panhandle 4 South Plains Fair As
sociation, made clear the reason for
no prizes being offered on small ex-
hibits which cost very little to ex-
hibit. emphasizing the fact that they
are making prizes on all livestock
and other exhibits which cost the
exhibitor much money to place on
the grounds, larger than any
like fair In the State, which Is m
deed y commendable feature Of the
work, and will be instrumental in
helping keep awake the. interest IN
the larger exhibits, which the cost
Of exhibiting has great tendency
