Wednesday was Talent's biggest day since the Fourth of July, for that was fair day, when the children of Wagner, Anderson and Valley View joined with those of Talent in hold ing a big industrial fair. Some idea of the magnitude of the event can be gained from the fact that there were 218 exhibit entries, some of which comprised a dozen or more separate articles. The articles were displayed in the basement of the school building and compared favor ably with those shown at the county fair at Medford. In addition to the articles made or produced by the children there were two fine exhibits of fruits and vegetables by R. E. Packard and Charles Holdridge. The Eden Valley Nurseries had a splen did display of roses and dahlias and the Bagley Canning Company showed several cases of fine canned goods, including a lot of lucious fruit put up in glass jars. Joe Wilson exhibit ed some skillfully executed samples of needlework, showing that a mere man can successfully compete with woman in the latter's special domain. This is the second industrial fair which the children of Talent and vi cinity have held and they certainly did themselves proud, demonstrating their ability to soon take the place occupied by their parents as leaders in agriculture, education and me chanic arts. The enterprising school board paid liberal premiums for the best exhibits and all classes joined together to make the affair a great success. Before viewing the exhibits, the out-of-town visitor is shown over the school building by Professor Ager or one of his able assistants. During the past summer the second story rnnnm were finished and most of them are now occupied by classes This gives ample room for all the pupils and teachers and will be suffi cient to meet the needs of the city for many years to come. Peter Spen cer presides in the spacious assembly room and the other Ashland teachers Mrs. O. H. Barnhill and Mrs. George Stannard, also have very pleasant rooms. There is a library with a fine assortment of books and in the domestic science room there are two sewing machines, two cutting tables and four large sewing tables. The manual training room is equipped for all kinds of wood-working and is a very Interesting place to visit. TALENT 8. P. TRAIN SCHEDULE Northbound.
