COMMUNITY EXHIBITS.

A community, county or state
is known by the exhibits it makes
at the agricultural and industrial
fairs" said a tourist from the
East, in talking to an official of
the Western Washington fair re-
Gently.
''That is true" said the official,
and I wish you might be here at
fair time and see the remarkable
community and county exhibits
at the fair. You would realize
what a wonderful country this
country is
The large, general exhibits made
at the Western Washington fair
in the past have always attracted
great deal of attention. The
farming west west of the Cascades
is general in character and lends
itself to general or mixed exhi-
bits of exceptional interest.
Combinations of fruit, vege
tables, grains and grasses in suf-
ficient quantities may always be
arranged in a manner to attract
the attention of fair visitors and
if the quality is in the exhibits
the community or county making
the display has secured the best
possible advertising.
The agricultural and horticul-
tural departments of the Western
Washington fair have a new 10.

splendid, well lighted building
