GOVERNMENT EXHIBITS
FOR MANY YEARS
Official Displays From Several De.
partments to Travel Over
Five Circuits.

\ Washington, d. C.--Itineraries for
five circuits of larger fairs and ex-
positions to be visited by combined
exhibits from several Government de-
partments are announced by the Joint
Committee on Government Exhibits.
Several fairs have informed the
joint committee that they are endeav-
oring to comply with the requirements
necessary to obtain the exhibits, and
they may be added to the circuits as
now outlined.
The exhibit material on each circuit
will fill two freight cars when packed,
and for its proper installation for dis
play purposes will require about 5000
square feet. The material contribut-
ed by the Department of Agriculture
demonstrates best methods of farm
ing. marketing, road building, and for
estry. The War Department is to dis
play quantity of military equipment
end large number of trophies cap
tuerd by American soldiers in France.
The Navy Department will exhibit
naval and Marine Corps equipment,
models of fighting ships. and, on one
circuit only, the work of the Coast
Guard Service. The Department of
Commerce is to show the work of the
Bureau Of Lighthouses and the Bureau
If Fisheries on all circuits, and the
work of the Bureau of Standards on
one circuit only. A mine rescue car
of the Bureau of Mines, Department of
the Interior, is to be on display at
some of the fairs, in conjunction with
the other exhibits, and other features
may be added before the end of the
exhibit season.
The Joint Committee on Govern
ment Exhibits is composed of repre-
sentatives of the various departments
cooperating, and is headed as chair
man by F. Lamson Schribner, the ex-
pert on exhibits of the Department of

DELIVEries FOR EVERYONE

Our merchants had been finding
it difficult to locate the various trucks
owned by transportation companies,
that traverse the roads OF this and ad-
joining counties for 20 miles around
the city, when they wanted to send
out load.
Through the efforts of the trade-ex-
tension division of our chamber of
commerce, 16 of the drivers of these
trucks were called together and an
organization formed. The drivers re-
port each morning at the chamber Of
commerce. Just before leaving they
stop again and picked up what parcels
have been sent In to the office. Dur
ing the day telephone calls are receiv-
ed from merchants having large pack
ages and passengers desiring to travel
on the trucks. We have encouraged
the installing of several new trucks in

Just you try it and see," said the
red little man. 49,
Dolly did not wait for a second bid
ding, but put her eye close to the dew
drop as the fairy had taught her to
do. For a moment everything was
dim, but then it grew clearer. She
seemed to be looking into place that
was dark-very dark-but at the same
time pleasant: In spite of the dark
ness she could see quite clearly, but
at first she thought there was nothing
worth looking at. Presently, however,
she made out queer looking, blacky-
brown something, so small that she
had not noticed it at first. Perhaps
she would not have noticed it at all il
it had not begun to swell in the queer
est manner-like soap-bubble, If you
could make black soap-bubble Then
the top of it cracked open little and
the tiniest green foot stuck out. This
foot-it was so small that she could
barely see it-reached out just as you
reach out to try the water when you
first go swimming in the spring, only
instead of water, it was padding in
the soft brown earth.
Dolly had been so busy watching the
root that she had not observed the
cutest little pink face peeking out
from the bottom of the black soap
hubby thing. The little thing did not
seem at all afraid of the dark nor
troubled by the earth around it, but
Doked itself out of the black shell and
looked about as comfortably as you
please.

doing?"

drop Fairy. (Being a Boy Fairy it
was quite natural, although not very
polite, for him to speak like this to a
mere girl)
"Bnt. why does It stand on its head,
like that?'
"Why not?" said the Fairy. Didn't
you see the man in the circus stand on
his head only last week?'
"Yes, he did, and the blood all ran
down into his face and made ii as red
oh, oh? Its face is getting as red
And just look at its feet-thoy are all

fore she had finished looking in the
lewdrcp. Dolly saw other wonderful
things which you will read about to-

Of eyeIet embroidered linen combined
with plain white organdy and figured
net. The organdy Is used for the I'M
derslip, for the collar and
cuffs and for hens on the hip
pockets. Eyelet beading Is used IN a
striking trimming effect on the lace
tunic and not a little part Of the
smartness Is owing to the sashbow of
narrow black gros grain ribbon which
depends from the front OF h waist.
