big SCHOOL EXHIBIT
AT THE COUNTY FAIR

At a recent meeting of the Medina
County Fair Board it was decided to
furnish space for an extensive school
exhibit at the county fair next Sept
cmber. In many of the surrounding
counties the school exhibit is the
strongest single feature Of the fair
and the board for this county felt any
Encouragement they could offer would
Ibe Of benefit both to the schools and
to the fair itself.
The questions of premiums was left
to the secretary, Mr.. Charles Wight
man and County Supt. jerks, who will
report to the board at its next meet
ing.
( At the teachers meeting to be held
at Lodi, Feb. 10, this matter will
come up for thorough discussion, as
the school men feel that they must
show that they appreciate the attitude
Of the fair board and must meet any
move of that body more than half way.
h Each school district will be asked to
make an exhibit Of any interesting
features of the work Of its schools.

BOYS AND MEN may
CONTEST TOGETHER

The Board Of Agriculture of Ohio
has planned for the boys and men to
work together in the 1917 Corn Grow
ing Contests.
The inspirations and lessons Of the
Junior Corn Contests prompted the
Board to put on a Senior Growing Con
test for 1917.
A Junior Corn Contestant must raise
one acre. He has four methods by
which he may win, as follows:
/. If he assists in doing all the
work up to and including Se planting
aad then does all the n. Eting On
an acre he may WIN 4 Trip % Wash
ingtOn. s5s
2. If a Junior does all of the work
on the single acre Of corn, he may
win a trip to Washington.
8. If Junior farms five or more
acres of corn in one plot, he may se-
lect any acre Of it upon which to win
a trip to Washington.
A. If a. Junior works with Senior
Corn Contestant on the Senior Con-
testant's ten-acre plot, the Junior may
then select any acre in the plot.
A trip to Washington on the 1917
tour is the reward in the Junior Corn
Growing Contests.
A Senior Corn Contest will be put
up in every county open to men over
twenty years of age. The senior Con-
test must be carried on upon a ten
acre plot. A boy may have his own
acre in his fathers ten-acre plot by
assisting in all of the work. The
prizes in the Senior Corn Contest are
as follows:
/. A grand prize of 500 will be
given to the man who raises the most
corn in all the state.
2. A prize of SIS will be given to
the champion of each Of the four Con-
test Districts.
3. A prize Of $50 will be given the
champion in the Senior Corn Contest
in each county. Seniors, however, may
accept the ticket on the 1917 Tour to
Washington in lieu Of their $50.
Trips to Washington viii be given
in every county for the boys and girls.

New Fabrics of
Fashion Fancy

Crepe de chine and a new weave of
Georgette crepe have been introduced
into the smartest fashions. The Geor-
gette crepe is used for sport hats and
also for the street. and the milliners
say it has lasting qualities The sep
arate blouses are made in it, rather
than in muslin or handkerchief linen,
and 1t is especially smart in string
color with splashes of bright embroid-
cry or ornaments Of gayly colored
beads.
Satin is almost too popular. The
large department shops are selling
ready to-wear gowns OF It from SIS
up. The high priced dressmakers are
combining it with the new Georgette
crepe and selling the gowns from $125
up. The French designers are making
loose nantes Of 1t in black and in
castor color and dropping them over
one-piece frocks for afternoon wear.
A supple quality of broadcIoth is re-
vived by Paris for sport skirts and
especially for the new cape coats
which all the houses have featured and
which will take the pIace[of the con-

are looking for something new. This
soft broadcloth is also used for peplum

knotted at the side and finished with
ornaments made Of beads. These
blouses are worn under all kinds of

ones which barely reach the hips.
