With practically all space in

Gus reservations made in the
swine, cattle, horse and sheep de-
rartments, also in the poultry, cult
nary, textile, exposition and other ex-

feels that they have every reason to

With reduced railroad rates offered

dition to the splendid aggregation OF

Patriotic color will be especially in

ment. Approaching the value Of the

other war activities, the government
Is going to place q mammoth War Elk

Another unusually interesting exhib-
1t calling attention to the govern
ment's war activities will be q display
of food conservation work. for which
five hundred square feet Of space have
been assigned in the new agricultural
building. The food administrators Of
Louisiana have been called to meet

been designated Food Administration
