The hour has been fixed at 1:30 in the afternoon so as to give oppor- tunity for all interested to make convenient trains going to and re- turning, and the Association has de- cided to hold future mectings at different points so as to get the tax- payers al]l over the county interest- ed in this county-wide movement. All taxpayers, whether members of the Association or not, are invited and urged to attend this meeting. Before the county cominissioners can take up the matter of bonding for good roads, a petition from a sufficient number of taxpayers s necessary and a system of roads defi- nitely outlined on a map' with state- ment ag to mileage and materials to be used must be presented, and the purpose of the Association is laid down in its constitution as follows: “To study what has been accom- plished in adjoining counties which have been most progressive in the matter of good roads, and consult with those responsible thercfor, not only in order to secure the benefit of their experience and advice and avoid their mistakes, but also with a view to co-operating with them towards uniformity in this part of the State. That with such infor- mation before them they shall then proceed to a study of the necessi- ties of the various sections of this county, and to the preparation of a map showing a county-wide sys- tem of roads designed to take care of both those and future necessi- ties, so far as the latter may reas- onably be anticipated. That witn such map before them, and not un- til then, they shall procecd to a consideration of the type of con- struction.” To do this it is absolutely neces- sary that tihve Association should have the active co-operation of ev- ery taxpayer, each one of whom will be very materially benefitted by good roads. The Association has commenced active work with a good membership, but desires and must add thereto the names of a large number of other taxpayers. The annual dues are only five dollars and checks for same should be sent promptly to the secretary-treasurer, A. J. Holworthy, at Lakeland. En- gineers and other expert services will necessarily have to be employed and paid for and the Association asks-for prompt co-operation. The committee appointed to out- line .a system of roads for the coun- ty'will make their first report next Every taxpayer who pos- \ Tuesday . sibly can should come out and help to satisfactorily complete this part of the work.

A little over a month ago a West Virginia company pur- chased 150,000 acres of land, known as the Indian prairie, situated the eastern part of the county, the consideration being $1,150,000. Their puspose is to raise an im- proved breed of cattle on this big ranch, and after a careful investi- gation of the matter, they have come to the conclusion that the in- vestment will be even greater than they at first supposed. The Cudahy people were in the State recently, and purchased several train-loads of beef cattle from this county, and stated that they were desirous or getting all that could be secured, and not only the best brands, but all that could be used for beef.

The State, as a cattle country, is rapidly gaining a wide reputation in all scctions of the country, and the cattlemen will get together and devote their ener- gies to the industry as never be- fore.

Special exhibit of guava products, Needlecraft Department. Needlecraft for 1tadies over 60 years of age. Arts and crafts. Antiques and curios. School exhibit and the girls' and boys’ ocanning club exhibit. There are special premjiums of- fered for collections in the differ- ent departments—collection of canned fruits in glass jars; collec- tion of baking of the different arti- cles, collection of different kinds of jellies, pickles and canned vege- tables in glass jars; collection of guava products, and collection of different varieties of canned vege- tableg in tin cans by the girls’ and boys’ canning club. There must be two or more en- tries of each class in order to win the special premium. The housekeeper who says, “I must do my part in making this fair a success’” understands the real pur- pose of the exhibit. She knows that ite enceces depends on the generous co-operation, good fellowship and the friendly spirit of contest that td ‘i 'y the heusekeepers. The score card helps to empha- gize the essential points of excel- lence and is now generally adopted by all fair associations: Cake—Flavor 30, texture of crust 10, texture of crumb 20, lightness 20, moisture 10, general appearance 10-—100. 3 For the best results use good in- gredients, fresh eggs, good butter, fine granulated sugar, good baking powder and pastry flour. Bread flour may be used, but oia account of the greater amount of gluten it contains, the texture of the cake will not be so delicate. 1If you have to use bread flour take one-eighth less per cup than directed by the receipt. Jelly—Solidity or 20, sugar content sealing 5—-100. Butter—Flavor_ 45, body (mean- ing texture 25, color uniformity ana evenness of mixture 10, style (refer- ring to package), 5—100 In the needlework exhibit the same rules apply as in the cooking and canning. Simplicity, harmoni- color schemes and artistic ef- fects are the things for which to aim. Often beautiful needlework loses a prize bhecause of ugly color combinations though the workman- ship and execution are perfect. Do not select gaudy colors or compli- cated designs. Use good taste and judgment in selecting designs for needlework . General Sewing--Harmony of col- or 20, execution on right side 20, execution on wrong side 20, artistic design 15, size 10, suitability of material for purpose 15—100.
