Art Display.
The art department this year had
the most interesting display that was
ever shown in that section. AS usual
there was wonderful array of needle
work, including crocheting, knitting
and all kinds of embroidery. There
was an unusually large display Of
hand-painted china and one new fea-
ture, collection of antique articles.
In this latter group were included a
panel of Chinese embroidery hundred
years old and done in real gold thread,
an Irish table spread Of about the
same age, bullet mold Of the civil
war days and gravy bowl 200 years
old which belonged to Governor Win
throp's family: This display of an
tique articles proved so popular that
it may be made regular feature of
the art department.
Both D. Peterson of Princeton and
o. L. Palmquist Of Milaca had excep-
tionally fine Photographic displays. 1t
is evident the people in this vicinity
can secure the services :ofsa real artist
for any Photographic work. Mr..
Peterson has been in our community
only few months but he has made a
reputation for himself. His pictures
of old men and the enlargements from
kodak pictures attracted much atten-
ton.
Superintendent Olaf Wasenius and
his co-workers through the county are
entitled to much credit for their splen-
did school exhibit. In this, as in so
many of the departments, the entries
were of an unusually high quality.
Until we see such an exhibit, few of
US realize just the variety of work that
is being done in our schools, particu-
larly those in the rural districts. Be-
sides the usual display Of maps, pos
ters and composition there were the
products of the manual training de-
partments, various neatly made gar
ments, raffia bags and baskets, towel
racks. clocks and several strands of
rope which were as we'll made as any
that can be purchased on the market
Central school district No. Is had a
separate exhibit. The teacher, Miss
Ethel Carlson, always has good dis
play of her pupils work.
There was most tempting display
of pastry and fine array Of canned
vegetables and fruits in the women's
department. One man, who invaded
this domain, attracted much attention
with his exhibit, an eight-foot Loaf
of bread, brown and crusty, baked tc
the queens taste. It is almost need.
less to state this was the product Of
Fred's handiwork at Morton's bakery
Mrs. Annie Ewing had a White
Rotary sewing machine on exhibit anc
verify that machine can stitch, gather
and plait in the most marvellous
fashion.
Club and Township Exhibits.
/ There were only four entries in thi:
department this year as compared
with six of last year. This was some
what Of disappointment to the fai7
management and must also have beer
slightly discouraging to County Agen
Hammargren who had charge Of thi:
: division. Frequently the farmers
clubs and township units need con

| great amount Of work, but it woult
have been impossible to select bette
) man for superintendent of this de
) partment than the county agen
whose work keeps him in close toucl
with the different units. He must
however, have felt fully repaid TO
his labor by the quality Of the four ex
hibits that were on display. Everyon
of them was very good, a credit to tn
county and the state. Those VIII
made entries were the South Harbo
, Farmers club, Princeton, Greenbusl
and Daley townships.
The township and club exhibits con
: tanned a wonderful variety of vege
tables, grains, forage crops, fruit 0
