returned from Louisville Sunday |
morning, where he had been since
Thursday night, attending the State
Fair.
Mr.. Casey made the trip in the in
terest of the Pennyroyal Fair, toI
pick up new ideas which would be of
benefit 10 him in arranging the Chris
tian county exhibits in the Agricul-
tural Department. He was well
pleased with what he saw, and he
saw it all, making notes of those
ideas that best suited a display of
christian county products in the
space allotted to him.
One result of the trip may be the
securing of the Agricultural Exhib-
it of the Experiment Station for the
Pennyroyal. This exhibit was at
Lexington and at the State Fair and
Mr.. Casey feels good over the pros
poets of getting it here. He says
the only thing in the wayis the short
time in which to make the necessary
preparations.

Professors Carmody, Hooper and
