Youthful Slumbers t Fair
(By Viola Nelson, Bacona, Ore.)
un l uesday morning, ol cuir
week, at the Hillsboro station, 1
met Mrs. Zola Morgan, and two
other club winners, Irene Marr
and Bruce Halm. We took the
train for Salem and arrived in
time for dinner, ut om: o'clock.
There were not many girls in
camp when I arrived, tint some
came in the ,-iftt riioon, and about
10:30 seventeen more girls re
ported.
Eichty girls were registered in
the girls' camp, rpid fifty-six hoys
in the boys' camp.
A little ways hack of the girls
camp was the building where the
poultry wa exhibited. The
geese, ducks and chickens all
made such a racket that they
kept us awake from three till sir
o'clock, the time we should get
up. .
Breakfast was served at seven.
They would line np the girls in
one line and the boys in another
in front of the mess tent. Then
first one girl and another bov
A'onld go in to eat, so around the
tables every other one would be
a girl and every other one a boy.
Sometimes there would be up
to a hundred and forty people for
the cooks to prepare meals for.
In the day w-e would go and see
all the poultrv, cattle, sheep,
poat and pig exhibits.
One day I saw the smallest
mother in the world. She is 2S
inches tall, 36 years old, and
weighed 87 pounds. ,
In, the afternoons we would go
and see the horse races, which
were very exciting.
In the evenings our chaperones
would take ns to see the horse
shows. We saw the best cows
snd horses in the world.
One morning a chaperon from
the hoys' camp took us to Salem
to see nil the tate buildings. I
We were in all the large build
ings Except the insane asylum,
which they would not let ns visit.
In the penitentiary we only
saw the dining room, some of the
cells, and where they held church.
In the church part there was
large picture that one of the men
had painted. It was very pretty.
In one of the buildings ye saw-
how printing was done. Some of
the men there explained all about
it.
Saturday morning Mr. and
Mrs. Frost came and told "ne that
I had won second prize in my
sewing. I was greatly surprised,
as I didn't expect any prize at te
State Fair.
