Big boys and little boys feel a desire to reach over the low wire netting and help themselves, and many of them would do so If It were not for the watchful eye of the man in charge. If they did so and were caught they could but say to the Judge, "The man did tempt me and I fell." For twelve years Ephraim Brlggs of Bountiful has taken the gold medal for the finest display of vegetables, and this year Mr. Brlggs has a finer exhibit than ever before. The mouth of the average Irishman will water at the potato po-tato display of N. P. Holm. J. M.

Those who go for an hour will see but little.
