Although there We're not so many
exhibits in some departments h S
year. the attendance was larger, en-
thusiastic support was given, the eX-
hibits were finer and, all in all, the
people of Boundary county are unani-
nous in the opinion that the third
annual fair held last Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday was the best ever
held in Boundary county.
The members of the board of direc-
tors of the fair association have paid
off all premiums and purses offered
and may now prepare for the 1928
fair, free of all deficits with the ex
ception of a mortgage which was given
when the fair grounds were purchased
last year. The improvements made
| this year on the fair grounds We're
paid for from the gate receipts and
concessions.
The exhibits in the stock depart
ment We're larger this year than ever
before. The sweepstakes prize in this
department was won by Wyman Hoag-
land, and F. A. Shultis was awarded
the second premium. In the butterfat

Mrs. Edison Cave and the second by
Wyman Hoagland.

chickens were shown in the poultry
department and next year it is plan
ned to encourage entries in this de-
partment more than ever.

should have been twice or three times
as large. This was also true of the
grains and grasses and vegetable ex-
hibits and the needlework display

of the produce that can be grown in
