The educational exhibits, designed to demonstrate to the public various phases of WHD club worli, will be displayed in the Women's building at the fair park, lacing the main thoroughfare from the west entrance. Equipment for making sponge cakes will be prepared for display by the Reno, Pattonville, Deport, Mount Pleasant, and Marvin clubs. Cake making has been one of the major food projects carried out by Lamar county clubs "during the past year.

Atlas, Ambia, and a clubs were assigned to present a model farmsted, featuring well- planned placement of buildings and showing the yard improvement work which has been another WHD club study. "Milk in the Diet" will be the exhibit planned by Tigertown, Garrett's Bluff, Hopewell, and Mount Vernon clubs. This display will demonstrate the wide possibilities for using milk in daily meals. Closely correlated to this exhibit will be that titled "Dairy Products on Display." In charge of preparing this feature are the clubs at Noble, Paradise, Roxton, High and Harmon. Correct lighting for the home is to be shown in the display prepared by Milton, Minter, Jennings, C'unningham and Martin clubs.

Natural and lighting are carefully studied in planning farm home improvements, as will be shown in this exhibit. Canning equipment as used by home demonstration clubs in: putting up vegetables, fruit and meats for farm home use is to be arranged by the clubs at Viewpoint, Hazeldell, Center Grove, and Burnett. Party refreshments, the sort wholesome and "filling" things which can be just as attarctive to look at as they are good to eat, will be shown by the Frisco, Mansfield, Powderly and Ford's Academy clubs. The clubs in charge of preparing the displays will also arrange to have members present each day of the fair, to explain the principal features of the individual educational exhibits and answer any questions about them. A new plan for showing the exhibits is being worked out in connection with other displays in the same building, and it is ex' pected that these innovations will make each unit more attractive and more effectively displayed.

Had 200 Before Realizing She Was Collector "I've always liked a good pencil," says Mrs.

Robert Cobb of 191 Graham street, when she's asked how she came to make pencil- collecting net unique hobby. And at that, she didn't realize that she was actually making a collection until she had acquired a couple of hundred of assorted pencils. This came about largely through the fact that her husband, a traveling salesman, keeping her liking for pencils in mind, always gives her the advertising pencils which he receives from manufacturers representatives. As a result, the collection represents nearly every known fabricated article, from automobiles to more pencils! This was only the beginning: From pencils just to write with, the collection soon included oddities and and special kinds of pencils: there are big pencils and little pencils; pencils with and without erasers, plain lead pencils and those with colored leads, some of them having as many as four or six colors; indelibles, slate pencils old-style and streamlined, and mechanical and "bullet" pencils galore. Mrs.

Cobb has a pencil which she brought home last summer from a trip to Mexico; an acquaintance louring Canada about the same time brought back a whole sheaf of advertising pencils from the Canadian provinces, be- ONLY HIS DOG COULD MAKE HIM HAPPY MELBOURNE. experiment of allowing a sullen and intractable prisoner at Pentbridge jail to have his dog in a jail with him has proved a great success.

Monday Deadline For Swine Exhibit Entries At Lamar District Fair Held under the direction of Lee McEwin, a a nding Lamar county 4-H club boy, the swine exhibit at the Lamar District fair this year is expected to be one of the best in history. Entries will not be accepted in this division after 6 o'clock Monday afternoon, September 5, the opening day of the fair, according to rules published in the fair catalogue. Assignment of pens, for which there will be no chafge, be made by the management after the entry deadline is passed. In order to assure a high class exhibit for the fair, the management demands that every animal ihURt carry a registry certificate approved by the superintendent.

certificate, however, need not be recorded if approved by Superintendent McEwin. Stock exhibited at the fair must by the exhibitor at the time of entry and he must make that the swine have not any contagious disease for a jwriod' of three months prior to day of the fair.

Other friends followed suit when they found that no souvenir pleased her more than a new pencil, and so the collection represents name-places from New York to San Francisco, and most ot the states in between. As for trick pencils and novel- i ties, there seems to be no end to them.

The behemoths of the collection are three mechanical I pencils, each about a foot long; three others, even longer, but i slim, are miniature walking canes; there is a golf-club pencil; one with a double hammer- eraser, outcome of the "Knock, knock, who's there?" game of a few seasons back; a triangular- shaped pencil, a flat book-mark one, a carpenter's fat-leaded marker, spiral-paper pencils that unwind for sharpening and a trick pencil with a rubber point. The real prize in this novelty group, however, is what Mrs. Cobb terms "the perfect imitation of a perfect pencil:" Johnny Kirk, young wood-carver from Honey Grove, Mrs. Cobb's old home, learned of her hobby and carved and painted for her such a realistic replica of a yellow pencil that it is difficult to pick it out from the genuine ones in the collection. Gift of a commercial display unit, showing the successive steps in pencil-making, from cedar block to rubber-tipped, enamel- finished product, is a treasured addition, arid another commercial-exhibit item is a mechanical pencil, with one side partly removed to show the inner construction and its operation.

Outstanding in the mechanical division, however, is the notebook-pencil, which reverses the usual order, with a slim cylinder of paper loaded into the barrel of the pencil. Pulled through a slot In the side, the paper can be torn off at Ihe desired length. But the last word in is still mlwing from the collection: Mrs. Cobb feels that only when she a notebook-pencil with the additional feature of a miniature meetings amied. hi, weapon or hun, ji on tree w.tnin reach, that it INSURES 3,500 PER WASHINGTON.
