important meeting last evening and

A particular effort will be made TO
decorate the city in the most beauti-
full manner possible. The golden rod
has been adopted as the flower of the
occasion and merchants will be asked
to use it as much as possible In decor

is believed the hundreds and hundreds
of strangers who will be in the city.
will be impressed as favorably By the
neat appearing homes as by the busi-
ness blocks alone dressed in gala at
tire.
Plans to Raise Money.
A number of plans have been sug-
gested for raising money. The adop-
tion of a button appropriately inscribed
designating the wearer as a contribu-
tor to the cause of the Fall Festival
has been proposed. A spray of golden
rod and a few words is believed to be
the proper insignia for the button.
The sale of pennants has been suggest
ed also. This proved successful me-
dunn during the recent good roads
congress and was the means of supply
ing the funds for that noteworthy
occasion.
Free Automobile Rides.
Nothing proved such an impressive
feature with the visitors on good
roads day as the free automobile rides
provided by owners of machines in
this city. II has been suggested that
this be repeated on agriculture day"
and every rural resident who chooses
given an opportunity 10 ride in a
motor vehicle free of charge. This can
not be made a feature of military
day as the officers of the regiment
will be the particular guests and ma
chimes will be needed for their uses.
Exhibits on First Day.
