Plan for Display at Min
neapolis Land Show
WILL URGE AT MEETING
OF FEDERATION SOON
Campbell to Present Plan of Show
at Wapato Meeting July Is,
When Action Will Be Taken by
Executive Committee

The Yakima valley will place an
ducts Exposition to be held in Min
neapois in the fall If the proposition
agreed upon by the publicity com
mittee of the Yakima Commercial
club is accepted by the federated
clubs. At a meeting of the executive
committee OF the federation, to be
held at Wapato on July is. w. A.
Campbell, secretary of the Northwest
Development league. will present the
plans of the exposition. and make a
tentative offer of space for Yakima
Valley exhibit. The local club rep
resentatives will go prepared to urge
the acceptance of such a proposition,
and prepared also to offer on behalf
of the Yakima club to bear a proper :
ton of the expense.
Want 900 Feet lt
Although nothing has yet been de-
cided, the placing of valley exhibit,
rather than the placing of a number
of small exhibits was agreed upon by
the members of the publicity commit
noon, to be the best for all con-
lcerned. M
1t is understood that Mr.. Campbell
will offer to reserve for the use of the
clubs of the valley 500 square feet of
lspace. This, it is considered, will be
be sufficient, and Mr. Ware, as secre-
tary of the federated clubs. as well as
secretary of the Yakima club, will
support the movement to combine.
Clubs to Decide
| In order to have the members OF
the executive committee prepared to
meet the proposition when 1t IL adj
vanced, Mr.. Ware has already sent
letters to each club belonging 10
the federation. asking them to discuss
the matter thoroughly. They are
asked to send their representatives to
the Wapato meeting ready to say,
whether the club wants to join a fed
GRAFTON display, or make an individual
display, how much 1t Is willing to con-
tribute to the, fund.
81 Other Advertising Good
THE cost of this exhibit is some
thing we do not know about definitely
as yet" said Mr.. Ware. and on that
will depend partly the action we shall
finally take. We are not Of the opin-
ion that it is good investment ot
our money to put it all into that
one form of advertising, Last year
the club spent about s1,S00 in plac-
ing displays at several land shows.
We don't propose to spend that much
this year to put a display at any one
show, and perhaps we won't spend
that much in land show exhibits at
| all"
There are other forms of adver-
| tising which we think should be con-
| sidered which are as valuable in
their way as the exhibits at the land
shows. For instance, having man
go through the eastern states with
| pictures, both moving pictures and
lantern slides, and give a lecture In
connection with the displays OF pic
lures, is good advertising.
| Need All Sections
What land show advertising we do,
however, we think can do much more
effectively as valley than as indi-
vidual communities. We need Top-
penish. we need Kennewick, we need
Sunnyside and Zillah, we need every
community represented by CONNER
cal organization In the valley, In ord
err to make up an exhibit that Is truly
Representative of the best things we
produce in the Yakima valley For
that reason we shall go to Wapato
urging the placing of valley exhibit
at the Minneapolis show.
