Fergus County Aids.
For some time the Judith Basin

of anything staged in the northwest

port and aid to the neighboring county
in an effort to put over a real exflibl-
ton of high merit. With this end in
view. the boards of county COMMISSION
ers Of Fergus county. through T.. +.
Mouiton, chairman. have donated the
use of the Fergus county new stand
ard wire cooping which will be used
in addition to the state exhibition coop
