FAIR NOTES
The agriculture building never
made a better showing than it did
this year, the garden products were
attractiyely displayed and the exhi-
bitors were many. The apple room
in particular contained many lus
sious specimens. Last year, on &C
count of the fair being held SO early
there were many of the kinds Of
vegetables and fruits which could not
be exhibited, among them being
apples.
The Baraboo Valley Bee-keepers
association had an excellent display
of honey and honey products and
they considerably added to the natur-
alness Of their display by contribute
ing a large swarm of bees to the
vicinity of their exhibit. No bee stings
were reported however.

IN the history of the asBocfatidn,
The above does not include the grand
stand.
One Of the most attractive booths
in the art building was that Of the
Toole flower shop. The space was en-
tirely hung with brancehs of ever
green, making an attractive backs
ground against which to display the
baskets of fall flowers, funeral
wreaths, wedding bouquets, and other
goods which the shop has for sale.

On each day in the space under the
grandstand and were witnessed by
many who took part in the festivities

Baraboo.
There was noticeable lack OF
automobile exhibitors this year, the
Chevrolet holding forth alone. How
ever, visitors att the Berkeley, tent
found plenty to hold their attention
for some time.

ing the fair Of supplying viands for
humans displayed this unique sign:

pany which furnished the midway at
fractions at the fair this year is to
winter in Baraboo closing their sea-

carloads of properties and the win
tering will consist chiefly of storing
these.
