To these superintendent is committed the
entire charge of, and responsibility for, sue
cessful exhibits in their several departments,
with snch assistance as the board can give
them. The design is to represent at the
Worlds exposition not only all the indus
tries, arts, resources and attractions of the
state, but To make our exhibits embrace a
representation of every county and every in
dustrial class and interest. To this end the
supcrintendents will employ experts to make
collection of material everywhere, but as the
most careful search by collecting agents
must be more OF less deficient, we invite the
voluntary contributions of the people in all
our lines of exhibits. That these may be
Systematically prepared and properly shipped
all persons having articles to offer OH exit
hibtion, should communicate with the su-
petntendents for information. No matter
what you have-a peck of grain, box OF
fruit or vegetables, mammoth squash, a
stuffed bird or animal, collection of insects
or curiosities, a rare picture or autograph,
photographs, shells, agates, petrifed woods,
Indian relics, prehistoric lics,-anything
you can think OF that ought to be shown
let us have it. Especially remember the de-
paTtment of woman's work. This
is intended to be helpful 10
women ii will be one of the leading de-
partments. 1t will be filled with abundant
exhibits TO please the cultivated eve, but must
be as suggestive as possible TO broaden the
field wherein so many women are looking for
work in which to gain an independent liveli-
hood.
While the duties of the United States COM
mIssioners are, under the law of congress
and the regulations of the exposition, chiefly
confined to securing exhibits of natural re-
sources and productions, the state board has
provided, as will be seen by the above list of
departments, for the encouragement Of all
classes OF exhibits, properly representative OF
the state; and all entries, either in the col
lectve exhibits or in the classifcatiOns where
competition is offered for awards OF medals
or premiums, it will be considered as repre-
sentative of the state and given place in the

terials placed in the exposition from Mime
sofa, will be prepared and returned to the
