A good average.

holding the blue ribbons of a large
English exhibition. “A truly repre-
sentative display of the agricultural
wealth of the central Fraser Valley”
was the pronouncement of Mr. D. E.
McKenzie, secretary of the New West-
minster exhibition, who was an in-
terested visitor “many, of the exhibits
I have seen today here being as good

course, and the Association will de-
as ever shown at our provincial fair,| ctare its books closed on October 30th.
and excelling much that I saw at the
Minnesota state fair, which I attend-
ed this year.”
Speakers at the formal opening were
introduced by Mr. J. P. Carr, president
of the Association, who reviewed de-
tails of the exhibition. Hon. W. At-
kinson, minister of agriculture, formal-
ly opened the event, commenting up-
upon the steady growth of Matqui’s fair
since it was launched nearly 20 years
ago, In 1919 the prize money had been
about $300, he said, while this year it
was nearly $1,300. He concluded by
tendering Mr. Paterson, treasurer of
the Association a cheque for $387.00;
the provincial government grant.
Mr. Chas. Goodchild was present, re-
presenting Matsqui Council, in his
remarks expressing the continued in-
terest of the Council in the success of | 4
the fair.
Comments upon the excellence of
the fair were also made by Mr. Cum-
mings, a director of Vancouver Exhi-
bition, who attended, and Mr. C. A,
Atkins, assistant general agricultural ms
agent for the Canadian Pacific Railway , |
In the ladies work section some very
beautiful pieces were shown, among
them quilts and embroidery of exqui-| ‘
site design. School work was a repre-
sentative showing , with Clayburn in
the forefront. H.R. Brown was a con-
spicuous winner in vegetables, Mrs.
James won the Barber cup for best
collection of cut flowers, and Milton
Jack, as specialist in gladioli and dah-
lias won first place with blooms which
would haye taken honors in a metro-
pollens exhibition. C. Mynors, with
his $1,500 herd of Guernseys made a
fine showing, with D. E. Handy also
competing closely with his anifals.| \
The poultry show was most represen-
tative, one exhibitor making 72 entries
alone in this division.
Indicating the attendance were the
gate receipts, which amounted to $127.
Directors, members, guests and chil-
dren were admitted free. G

October 10 is the data tentatively
set by the Board of Trade for the
banquet and free dance celebrating
paving of Abbotsford streets.

Included in the proposed guest list
are names of five members of the
British Columbia provincial Cabinet
W. E. McKenzie, H. J. Barber, MP.,
Senator Taylor, the mayors of Van-
couyer, New Westminster, Bellingham,
Chilliwack, Reeves of Sumas, Matsqui
and probably other Valley municipali-
ties, chairmen of Mission and Abbots-
ford village councils, and representa-
tives of the leading Coast newspapers.
The convenience of the government
guests will be considered by seeking
their approval of the date selected.
Invitation will be given out to ey-
erybody in the district to come to Ab-
botsford for the evening celebration.
A section of the street will be cleared
and prepared for dancing, and a band
engaged. If weather is inclement, the
dance will be held in Jubilee hall.
Catering for the banquet may be
placed with one of the ladies’ organ-
izations, but if the program is follow-
ed as planned, a professional catercr
must be recruited. “The committee will
welcome offers ahd suggestions rela-
tive to any details of this event. Get

gestion was deemed worth bringing up

“Quality” in Lumber means a cozy home!

EVERY woman realizes that it is
almost an impossibility to make some
rooms “look right." There is appar-
ently nothing that will blend with
their interior fittings. That, of course
is faulty construction. Interior finish
and trim plays an important role in
the beauty and homey-ness of a house
as long as the house stands.

Be well advised, and insist upon pro-
perly seasoned and fully-dried lumber,
milled to exact dimensions. You save
nothing in buying imperfectly milled
lumber, no matter how low the price.
