indications Point to Lorge and Varied
Exhibits at Formers Niqht MEETING

At meeting last Tuesday even.
ing, the ladies representing the Farm
Women's club and committee from
the Commercial club began the
rather difficult task of preparing q
premium list for the second Farm
ers' Night to be staged at the Moose
hall on October Fl. Difficult be-
cause they find their exhibit list to
be growing each day until they have
reached a place where they demand
more room and closer classified
ton. The committee plans to run
shelves along the north side of the
hall for vegetable displays, poultry
pens will be erected in the west end
and the larger pieces of needlework
will be hung against the wall. The
hall will be open all day Thursday,
according to the committee, and ex-
hibits will be received and placed in
their proper classes by persons who
have experience in that line.
To avoid confusion and misunder-
standing, the committee again wishes
to publish some of the information
relating to the affair. The exhibit
is open to the public and no charge
for admission is to be made. While
OF greatest interest, perhaps, to
those whose homes are on the farm,
the display will also attract the town
gardener who farms" on q small
scale in his back yard. Both NAV
be exhibitors and both will want to
be there. Neddlework, baking and
canning exhibits are open to any
person in the community.
A Correction
The statement that the ladies of
the Presbyterian church would serve
a dinner for IS cents is to be cor
rected to read lunch" instead of
dinner and the time to be from 1000
p. m. o'clock on. The feed is to
provide another opportunity for the
public and exhibitors to sit down
and talk it over. Last year the lunch
was complimentary by the CONNER
cial club but the plan now is to make
the eats a Dutch Treat
Exhibitors names will appear on
display and the public is invited to
inspect all material and visit with
the persons who bring the show
stuff. Competent judges will be Sc
lected to pick the prize winners
where blue, red and white cards
will indicate first, second and third
places. First places only, however,
will receive cash or merchandise
awards.
