lon, the Moon and Star variety,
has been received at the horticul-
tlire booth, presided over by Rev.

delicious. Rev. Birkholz plans to
spend his idle moments slicing,
and eating, the several melons
which have been presented him
by exhibitors who brought in ex-
tras. The display is not quite so
large as usual, but garden pro-
ducts are much better. judges say.
More-than-life-size pictures OF

booth outside the agricultural
building. The Farmer-Laborites

Republicans that it had been
plowed under proving false. A
Democratic agency, the NYA, is
represented by a booth presided
over by Everett McCuskey, local
boy who heads the movement in
four counties.
