and corn seed tester. The display of
the Dunnellon school is especially at
tractive and the art work of this

Tor Mrs Emily Green and her display
IF arts, crafts, curios and antiques.
Mrs. Green has one of the most inter

Eleanor G. Meikle, who is the art
teacher at the girls industrial school

Culinary and Domestic Department
1t should be against the law to put
or display such an outlay of gooo
things to eat as Mrs. W. H. Marsh has
