panied the car on a part of the trip.
The exhibit car which is sponsored
By the Missouri Pacific and visits the
states served BY this railroad and
connecting lines. usually moves Dec.
| or shortly after the close Of the
Mid-Winter Valley fair NJ Harrington.
This arrangement according to Nc
Clarity is not the hest inasmuch as
the car last year when 500 miles
from the Valley displaying both
citrus and vegetables grown in the
Valley attracted little attention in
H. display az vegetables due 10 the
fact that the territory w which the
ear was on exhibit could obtain vcge-
tables grown locally. IF we can get
the railroad to set the date an 10
January by the time We have
reached the up state markets our
vegetable display will create a great
deal OF interest. for nv that time
the frost will have killed out the
vegetables IN the territories visited

The letters asking for the change
in the date were addressed to both
st. Louis and Houston officials Of
