The annual exhibit of industrial work
done on the Fairgrounds during the sum-
mer will open at the Washington Library
Monday afternoon at l o'clock. The ex-
hibit will continue each day from 1 to 5
pm. and from Z to pm. for two weeks.
The exhibit will be explained by Mrs.
katherine w. Malcolm and some volun-
teer assistants she will have from the
teachers of the Fairgrounds and public
schools.
The work this year is of more than or
binary interest. and comes from the
school Fairgrounds as we'll as the munich
pal Fairgrounds.
The industrial work on the play,
grounds is, of course, entirely optional

with the results achieved this year along
this line, and feel quite sure that all those
who see the exhibit at the library will
realize what excellent work has been &C
complished. While this work is necessa-
| rily limited to only such as can be done
out of doors and with few materials or
