to demonstrate that winter apples pro-
duced in Whitman county keep better
than any Others grown in the state.
Each town in the county will prepare
a descriptive pamphlet of their resources
and advantages, which will be distrib-
uted. We are rapidly gathering the ex-
hibits and will have everything in place
when the exposition opens, Visitors will

How much are you willing to pay?'

And the artist. with a few quick
