Mitchell's business men are RESPONSE
Bile for this display, and each sue
ceeding year they subscribe from S.
600 to $4,000 to finance the enter
prise, which requires Il great outlay
of money to decorate the building.
This requires about 1000 bushels of
corn a vast quantity OF wheat oats,
and other grains which are utilized
for decorative purposes. The corn
and grain heads are utilized to pro-
duce some wonderfully and intri-
cate figures of an Egyptian character,

Of the building are grouped the coun-
ty agricultural exhibits in which the
products of at least dozen counties
will be displayed for the enlighten-
ment of the people as to what has
been produced in this year of 1911.
and when they are grouped together
they are going to tell Il different story
than has been heralded about the
