To the Boys and Girls The earlier schtol fairs are al ready being held and at the Aid of another month most of them will be a matter of history. Every one connected with the work is anxious that that history read satisfactorily. This is about the ast opportunity we shall have to call your attention to your exhib its for most of your work has al ready been done. Just a few words about exhib iting. As we have often said, the intrinsic value of the prize you are competing for is of little importance compared with the habits of industry you are form ing, and the experience you are gaining in learning how to do some practical thing well. If you borrow something to show, or take something to the fair you have not raised or made, you will fail to get the value out of it that you should. Now, do not under stand me to say that you should not take anything to the fair that is not entirely the product of your own effort. Some of the fairs, especially those that were arranged for late in the season, do not require you to do all the work. Where this is the case I would urge you to take every thing you can, under the rules, that will make a good showing. Take pride in assisting to make your fair a success. But where the rules require that you do all the work yourself, as they do at the State fair, do not try to evade them. We might deceive every one but ourselves, but a clean conscience is worth everything. If we never do the first little dis honest trick, we will avoid a lot of trouble in this life. This is on the same principle as never taking the first drink to avoid being a drunkard. It is a safe rule. Do not overlook the county and district prizes at the State fair. It is a fine thing to cultivate local pride and patriotism. Team work aids in developing this spirit, so join with your fellows and do your part to help your district and your county to have the banner exhibits. Co-operation is becoming more essential every day and you can not begin too early in life to practice it. Wishing you all success, and hoping to meet a great many of you at the Fair, 1 remain. Yours for better boys and girls, N. C. Maris, Field Worker Industrial Fairs. More Houses Wanted During the past ten days there has been considerable inquiry after houses to rent. There are a few residences to be had yet and there are two or three in course of construction and a prospect of more in the near future, but there is a lack of houses consisting of about four rooms, not too small, neither so large as to command a very high rent.
