Reports by various members of the committee Indicated that the en tire space will be subscribed before the building is ready for Installing the exhibits.

The committeemen have met with encouragement everywhere and the members believe that this will be by far the most successful effort ever made to hold an Industrial show In this city. Among the reasons being given by thf manufacturers are talcing space for their eagerness to secure the best positions is tne tact tnat tne No-Tsu-Oh of this year will be attended by thousands of people who have never attended nrevious No- Tsu-Oos. The deep wajer celebration is being advertised throughout Texas in liberal newspaper announcements and In all street parades in this State by the Bar- num 4fc Bailey circus. That show is also placing large posters on cross-country roads announcing the No-Tsu-Oh. The railroad companies are giving better rates than before.

A large number of Texas merchants will be In Houston as guests of the Bankers, Manufacturers and Jobbers association and numerous other features of the celebration are calculated to bring visitors of that class that the man-facturers are most anxious to appeal to. In addition to these facts. It is pointed out that the Houston celebration will be one of the very few attractions of an en tertainment nature that will be held in Texas this fall. Many of the towns that have previously held celebrations and fairs have decided not to hold them this fall.

They not only nave a nrnhlatn hut an onnortunltv to show that they are entitled to the name of home makers. They must avail themselves of this opportunity and demonstrate that they are worthy the confidence which is reposed In them.

He painted a rather glowing picture of the good to be by the ward market and trusted that the Progressive league will be able to make rapid orosr- ress in the matter.

He declared that the farmers will not take word pictures. They wish to see the markets actually established and then they will grow the things that the housewives of Houston want.

He promised active co-operation of his department with the women of Houston; said he was at all times ready to reweigh their purchases and to receive and investigate complaints that they might make that they had not received what they should.

But he warned them that there was no case when they bought a bottle of vinegar if they did not call for a pint or a quart; or if they bought a package of anything without specifying the weight they wished. He warned them against the use of heavy bags and trays in the weighing of certain articles and told them they were entitled to the full weight without the receptacle. Mrs. J. O.

Ross urged the women present to enlist as members of the organization and asserted they would find It weU worth their while.
