This county, being a county
that «till adheres roughly to a
pioneer tradition, doesn’t pay a
lot of attention to women. The
women aren't going to let that
continue long, here, or any
where else. But we're talking
almut the county fair and It In
true that women have had a
pretty small part In It until
recently anyway.
Il all came almut naturally. It
was men who first walked Into
this county, coining across the
hills from the boat landing ul

from the steam trains at Giants
and taking off Into the rolling
hills of a new country looking
for a quarter section on which

Some of them had left women
at home and when the dug-out
was completed with sod roof
and dirt floor they came on to
the new home. They insisted up

the construction of homestead
cabins with a corner set aside
for a parlor. They saw to It that
there was a well and certainly

sands of yellow rose bushes and
Virginia creeper that gave the
