days of farm institute work; there
will be wide range of entertainment

extensively during the entire twenty
days of the exposition. A great white
way of electrical illumination will be
installed; there will be civic and in
dustrial parades, free street acts and
carnival features, ball games, automo'
bile races and minor sports.
The railroads of the state. realiz'
