The meeting was for the purpose of
furthering the Home Product show
for the week beginning Monday, Jan.

Tri-State Grain and the State Corn
Growers convention, and Secretary
Stine announced that the expense IF
each manufacturer would be about
SIS, but that If anything remained
from that sum it would be returned 10
the manufacturers. This however was
modified so that the money, if any re-
mains, will stay in the treasury for
another year. s-. s 5-ra. ~ ..s.a

that the greater part of this would De
spent, in newspaper advertising, the
newspapers of the city being the
vehicle through which the people of
the state would know what is going
on here that week The balance will
be spent in erecting banners across
the street near the Hancock building.

by George Rusk it was decided to have
the first day of the show, Monday,

an orchestra and a committee will
see that frappe is served, with biscuits
and the ladies will be given a very
pleasant time. Last year the ladies
did not get on to the fact that the
show was so great until the latter
part of the week and then they flock
ed to the building. 1t is hoped this
year to have them all interested from
the first.
In Position Early.
The contractor who Will put up the
booths must have them in position
Thursday Jan. 8, so that the manu-
facturers can begin the work of put
ting in their exhibit the next day, for
it was decided that every exhibit must
be in place by Saturday evening, Jan.
IL, so that there will be no hammering
or unseemly noise during the reception
to the ladies Monday afternoon.
Some few of the manufacturers Of
the city have decided not to make an
exhibit, and 1t is believed that they are
making a mistake. President McHose
desires The Forum to state that every

member of the association or not is
most earnestly asked to show.

this afternoon and Ii is believed that
the full fifty will be taken forty two
