the commissioner informed them that they

for her mother. insisted that she be al

they must keep both. The woman fatty

and decided to open at once a competition
for plans for the structure that will be the
Mecca of Hoosier visitors to the ST. Louis
exposition. All Indiana architects are in
vited to enter the competition and those
VINO Will do so are requested TO communi-
cate with Frank c. Ball, of Muncie, the
chairman of the building committee
The commission at a meeting held in ST.
Louis last Friday evening decided TO ex-
pend not to exceed $4,000 of the $4,000 ap-
preparation on the building. Mr.. Ball, in
expressing the views of the commission as
to the kind of building, said:
I'VE have not formulated definite ideas
as to the kind of a building we want. We
are relying to a large extent securing
suggestions and ideas from the architects
that Is why a competition for plans was
decided on: We want a building, however.
that will be in every respect a credit to
the State and one that is more of a home
or clubhouse than a mere exhibit hall"
The date for closing the competition has
not been announced.
