as possible while there is sufficient
time remaining to thoroughly pre-
pare this special feature. Also a
good male quartet would be very
acceptable.

many as possible who will furnish
various exhibits of farm products
aside from the grape exhibit. This
information is desired at the earliest
possible date to facilitate the issu-
'ance of the premium list.

department that will offer oppor-
tunity to all classes and ages to
compete for honors in the various
arts in that particular branch.
Domestic science will also be
one of the features that will attract
much attention.
Ihe Baby Show, Will be second
