"A word to exhibitors at the forth
coming Mower County Fair: Always
exercise the best Of your taste and judg-
ment in making exhibits. Remember
thai the enc that is put up in a neat and
attractive form will take the premium.
The judges at fairs. like purchasers, are
not unmoved by an attractive display. If
you exhibit specimens of wheat. corn.
beans and smaller grains and products
OF the vegetable gardens put them up in
receptacles of uniform size. Small
wooden boxes, neatly made, about five
inches square and four inches deep, are
convenient to handle and may be neatly
arranged. Wide mouthed glass Bottles
or jars of some fixed size, are better than
wooden boxes, and with the exercise of
little taste. can be handsomely dis
played. Wheat on the straw, as q
sample of that in the bag or case, can be
tied up IN small bundles and the un-
slightly strings can be covered with bands
of colored paper. What ever you ex-
hibit, let it be your hest. and see that
it is attractivsly displayed.
LINEN Works. Saturday F. C.
Treat, one Of the firm of the Appleton
Linen Works, manufacturers of Hucks,
Herringbone and Turkish towels, fancy
fringed and striped curtains, etc., made
us call. He is here for the purpose of
looking up a location for the manufac-
ture of the above named articles and all
articles manufactured from flax straw or
fibre. He should receive the encourage
ment Of our citizens in his endeavors.
By locating such mandatory here,
freight on fax straw would be saved,
and our farmers receive compensation
for an article that now is comparatively
worthless as cash crop. The fax here
abouts is said to be just as good as fax
grown in Ireland or Scotland, and will
undoubtedly soon be sought after with
avidity. Most of the fax yarn now
comes from Scotland and ireland, and is
here woven. But it is the intention of
this firm to brake their own fax: put in
machinery to make their own yarn, and
not be dependent upon foreign countries
for their yarn supply. We hope Mr..
Treat will be literally encouraged
