a good deal. of success was evi-
denced by. the display they, made
and the large, number. of ‘prizes
they carried; ‘off.’ Anyone. making
a garden in Rupert is deserving |;
of credit, not that the soil is not
productive, but: ‘because it re-
quires a great deal of work and
‘eonsiderable time to geta garden
in shape to produce. :
There were many other exhib-
its at the fair which ‘showed
much enterprise on the part of
the. people. in- this “new. country

bigger and better display ‘next

does: produce just-as ‘good | ‘stuff
as and other place, and the ladies
of this town can do needie, work

Congratulations are die the
