10y OVAAAA
~ VERY city in the country
has been holding endur-
IL ance exhibitions and now
the farmers are goinE to stage a
milking contest.
This win be great sport lor
everybody except the COWS.
The society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals should step
this exhibition and make the
farmers hold their endurance con-
test with condensed milk.
It would be just as thrilling
and the milIzmaid with the sharp
est can opener would win.
The other way It wouldn't be
any fun for the bovine because
no matter who won, the news
papers wouldn't publish the pic
ture Of the COW.
The milIunaid could smile at the
reporters and the COW couldn't.
A homely girl can win a prize
in a beauty contest, but a good
looking Holstein can't even get
her name in the paper.
But you can't blame the re-
porter, he can't take . cow out
to dinner.
Still some Jerseys couldn't eat
much more than q lot Of DANES
do.
You've got to fiji . dame up

. bOssy would be satisfied with
Iettuce and spinach.

MUCH INTEREST I'M FAIR

VIII le the turnout was not quite
as large as expected, there was lots
of enthusiasm at the meeting held
in Grange hall Thursday evening to
discuss plan for the White Bluffs
Fair. For some little time there
has been an apparent lack of inter
est in the fair on the part of the
farmers. and the committees that
have the different features in
charge had begun to get uneasy.
However, a personal visit with the
farmers and the meeting Thursday
evening have shown that the com
mittee's fears were groundless and
there is every Indication that the
fair this year will be much larger
and better than last year In fact.
the worry of the committees now
will be to apportio the space so rs
to accommodate every one who
wants to make a display.

BOOTHS FOR LOCAL
EXHIBITS AT STATE FAIR

While in Yakima last Friday,
j. G.. Scott made arrangements
for two booths at the State Fair,
one for an exhibit of the soldiers
settlers ON the state land settle
ment project and the other for
an exhibit from the entire Priest
Rapids valley. The soldier set.
Tiers are to have a booth at the
local Fair which is to be held just
previous to the State Fair and
most of this exhibit will be taken
to Yakima. The two Community
Clubs of White Bluffs and Han
ford will hold a joint meeting in
the near future when committees
will be appointed to assemble the
valley exhibit, to Lrovide for its
transportation to Yakima and to
arrange the display in the booth.
Whenever real effort has
been made to put on an exhibit
at the State Fair from this velley.
the results have always been
more than satisfactory and as
this is always the very best of
advertising for the district it is
hoped that every one who pos
aibly can will assist the differ
cnt committees in every way in
making the display at the State
Fair this Ycar better than ever.
