all the women visitors as well as the
men, Everything that a woman can
make out of corn will be found on dis
play in her booth. This will encom-

rugs to all the recipes for d~electable

bition rooms the j. ]. Case Co. has

The general exhibit is one Of the
most attractive features of the show
this year. 1t will occupy the main
space of the exhibition rooms at the
