Less Costly to Attend
Various reductions which nave been
secured by work of the state fair man
agement will make attendance at the
Montana State fair this year less ex-
pensive than usual. For example,
Montana was accorded this year the
lowest railroad rates given any state
fair in the land in the special conces-
sion of n One-way rate for round trip
from points $50 miles or more distant
from Helena. with a minimum of $40
for the trip. and a rate of one and one
third fare from points within the 100
nile radius. The Helena Light and
Railway company voluntarily made a
reduction OF 30 per cent in cost of a
r~ound-trip ticket to the fair grounds.
reducing from 80 cents to 30 cents for
a round trip.
Regular meals in past years have
cost a dollar on the fair grounds at
the state fair restaurant. Secretary
Moore this year has arranged with
several church organizations. which
will serve meals on the grounds for 60
cents and less.
Free camping privileges are offered
to motor tourists right on the fair
grounds, and the grove will be filled
with camping tourists from all parts of
Montana if the weather is right, judg-
ing from letters that have been re-
ceived by the state fair office.
During the past week a drive under
the combined auspices of the Helena
Commercial club. the Rotary and the
Kiwanis clubs has been staged TO sell
$4,000 worth of advance fair admis-
sion tickets in Lewis and Clark coun-
ty. Sam ID. GOA, veteran of many a
campaign, is the general, which in
sures the success of the sale. This is
done at the request of the Montana
department of agriculture, state fair
division. and when completed will sue
cessfulIy underwrite the financial risk
of the 1922 fair.
The changed plan of displaying
farm products in groups by variety
rather than by county is expected to
achieve several objects: increase the
shows education value; put smaller,
less wealthy counties on equal basis
with larger, richer divisions of the
state; replace the professional exhib-
itor-decorater by the farmer-exhibitor;
save costs to counties.
James Griffith Of Chinook, a staunch
friend Of the state fair for many years,
and now a member of the executive
board, is in general charge of this
part of the fair and he has an able
corps Of workers under him. General
superintendent is Harlan II. Sumner
of Bozeman, who has drafted Carl II.
Peterson, county agent. Lewistown. to
take immediate charge OF the corn
show; +. f. McSpadden. county agent,
Great Falls. for forage crops and
grasses; Quincy Scott of L~ewistown,
former manager of the Western Mon
tana fair at Missoula, to direct the
the county collective awards. and V. -.
Gilman of Bozeman, vegetables and
root crops.
"a Splendid Trophy Cups
Windows of Helena business houses
are now displaying the "a magnificent
silver trophy cups which are offered to
the counties whose exhibitors win most
heavily in the several divisions of the
farm products show. These cups offer
permanent mementos of superiority
which can be held and shown in each
winning county. while cash awards
given in the past have largely gone
into the pockets of the individuals Sc
lected to put on the county collective
showing. Five cups go for places in
the grain division, five for grasses. four
for corn, four for potatoes, three for
vegetables and root crops and three
for fruit.
