ing "The man who lived 10 years
in the County and spent Is years
on the county pay roll" Along
side him should be his faithful
wife who spent years of her
strainious life at CARTS side in
the courthouse at the rate of
$137.50 per month, crocheting and
reading novels. The amount of
needlework, love stories and gum
chewed in that length of time
would be a very interesting ex-
hibit in itself.
We would also show what the
$137.50 could buy each month at
at the present prices, such as:
81, 900 eggs, 1875 pounds of but
ter, 600 bushels of wheat, a dozen
milk cows, 40 fat hogs or a pile
of chewing gum.
Another exhibit which the farm
ers would be very much interested
in would be a pound of butter.
Showing the 10 cents worth of
merchandise the stores in Plenty
wood give the farmers for each
pound. Then on the other side.
show the Zoe in cash the stores
sell 1t for to local consumers, max
ing cash profit of Is cents on a
z cent investment.
Our local ]. C.. Penney store
should have a booth all of its own.
In the center should be two pairs
of tennis shoes, one pair should
ge marked ACC and the other CSC.
On the Acc pair there should be a
poster saying: 'This is what YOU
can buy them for in the Penney
stores In Minnesota" On the CSC
pair it should say: "This is what
they charge in our brentwood
Penney store" Exhibits like that
would be very educational to the
people In the county.
In one place there should be
a dozen of eggs. Alongside of
! these twelve eggs there should be
a &c postage stamp, showing just
how much it will now take for a
farmer to mail a letter to one of
his nefghbors-
| We should have a gallon of
gasoline and a bushel of wheat
standing along side of one an
other. The gasoline should be
marked 24c per gallon, the wheat
2Sc per busheI, just to show what
the farmers pay and what he
gets A pile of 90 eggs would
show up pretty well too, compared
with the one gallon of gasoline.
In the livestock exhibit we could
have a fat hog with a blue rib
bon, on 1t could be printed: eft
takes the price of one like this
every time you fill your automo-
bile"
|, A boxing exhibit between Harry
Polg and Joe DoIin would draw
; quite a crowd, with Oscar Collins
as referee and Harry Sparkling as
the radio announcer. A displav OF
the black eye Harry come near
getting and the doctor bill Jot
5 come near paying would be Of
: special interest to the women.
i An exhibit of stills would also
S be of general interest, SHOWING
r what useful things our home pro
duct, like rotten potatoes, could b,
made into at very little cost. Ou-
sheriff candidates and the Judge,
o should be supplied with FIRE,
J. samples.
n For the old relic department W,
d could gather up the bones O
e horses and cattle who starved t,
. death last winter for want O
government aid. These bones
could be preserved and kept as
: permanent exhibit for many wears
g Along side of this should be Al
S enlarged picture of our forme
: county agent. The gopher tail
d that many farmers family live,
e on last year by collecting 1c fo
q each, could be embalmed an
+ make another interesting showing
! A few buffalo bones could We
: be found in the county. Thes
bones could be displayed with a,
inscription: "Bones like thest
have been gathered up by man
farmers, hauled rs miles to tow
k and sold for $500 per ton in orde
e to keep their loved ones fror
q starving"
There should be a brain ex
hibit in which most of our Dol
ticians and educators should b,
represented with brain chart.
