The Exhibits.

rev, IL any, falr visitors failed to
pass through the various buildings and
view the splendid array of exhibits.
This feature alone was we'll worth a
visit to the exposition. Competition
was keen, and everything was proper
ly arranged.
The farmers clubs made particu-
larly splendid showing, and the Milo
Mutual, Woodward Brook, Vondell
Brook, Glover Leaf and Chase Brook
clubs we're represented. Booths were
prepared for these exhibits under the
grand stand, and Wyanett township
had an exhibit in the north end Of the
agricultural hall. The display of the
Milo Mutual club was especially fine.
The entrance to the booth was hung
with strings of brown beans on
threads. In the back ground on the
wall appeared very artistic sign,
made from golden kernels of corn,
containing the words 1915 Milo Mu-
tual." The exhibits were attractively
arranged and Of splendid quality, in
Guiding luscious berries and fruits,
some Of the finest potatoes we haze
seen this season, and corn, grain and
grasses in abundance. The display
was awarded first prize, and those who
prepared it are certainly to be con-
graduated.
The Woodward Brook club was
awarded second honors, and it made a
very good showing also. A neatly
painted sign told fair visitors the
name of the club, and the exhibits
were arranged to good advantage.
Appetizing canned goods in transpar-
ent jars, put up by the farmers wives
and daughters were a part of the ex-
hibit, and corn, cabbage, grains and
grasses, pumpkins and squash were
also included as we'll as honey. The
Woodward Brook club can we'll feel
proud of the showing made.

the fair. Mr.. Chas. Nelson of Litch-
field, who is connected with the uni
versity extension division, and Mrs.
Mcclure Of st. Paul, judged the ex-
hibits in this division.
Not the least interesting feature Of
the fair were the school exhibits I'M

cultural products as we'll as map draw
ings, specimens of penmanship, etc.

ed. Princeton was represented by the
Whittier school, and the pupils can
well feel proud of the showing made.
The miniature house containing
furniture, constructed by boys in the
third grade in Miss Writings room,
excited especial comment. The teach
ers, Misses Davis and Whiting, are al
so deserving of commentator for the
excellence of the exhibit. Mrs. Robt.
