CANNING, BAKING, PIGS, CALVES
AND CORN TO BE VIEWED
WITH INTEREST

The boys and girls of Redwood
County have an excellent exhibit thi:
year, one which crowds their owr
building to the roof and then flows
over into the general exhibit build
ing. While the siege of influenza last
winter made the exhibits in some OF
the graded schools slightly smaller
than in former years, it detracted
nothing from the quality and appar-
: antly has had no effect whatever upon
ae exhibits from the ungraded schools
Mich are just as large as ever.
! + The following graded schools are
making good exhibits: Vesta, Belview,
Wabasso, Lamberton, Seaforth and
Redwood Falls. The Vesta exhibit is
very excellent one and the largest
this village has ever made. The Wa
basso Fifth Grade has fine display
of production maps, and this village
is represented at the fair the first
time this year. Lamberton is show
ing some beautiful posters as part
of it's exhibit and Seaforth and Bel
view both have exhibits which show
very excellent variety. A feature of
the Redwood Falls exhibit will be a
demonstration of manual training,
members of the class being at work
in the booth throughout the fair. A
japanese sand table by the normal
training department of Redwood Falls
is also featured in this exhibit.
The displays of the various graded
schools are shown about the walls of
the room, each school having its own
space which is plainly marked with a
placard showing the number Of the
district. This makes it very conve-
nient for the children and parents of
each district to locate their own work
and to compare it with the work OF
the surrounding districts.
