The Exhibits.
Our own rdnth District ^resident,
Mrs. W. F. Wilhoit, of Warrenton, is
state chairman of exhibits, and we are
sure that the Good Old Tenth wants
to “bring home the bacon” again, as
she did last year, winning the silver ;
loving cup for the best exhibit. In
page, Mrs. Wilhoit said:
“The silver loving cup offered to
the district making the best display
of club material and club work at
this club institute should be an in
centive to district presidents and
chairmen to put forth ever'- effort to
get all the material in their districts
which will make up an attractive dis
play. Pictures of club houses or
rooms, club library, pageants or
plays gotten up or sponsored by the
club, maps, charts, scrap books, coun
ty histories, original poems, or music,
or stories, year books, and everything
connected with the club and its ac
tivities. Arrange these in an at
tractive way. The poster is a very
good form in which to disHf- them.
You can secure cardboard at the
printing office 22x28 inches to use for
mounting, or cut in in two and use
smaller.”
These exhibits should be sent to
Mrs. E. T. Shurlev, of Warrenton,
who is chairman of exhibits for the
Tenth District, and should be in her ;
hand by the first of July, if possible, i
I am sure the Good Old Tenth
.ants a record-breaking attendance
st the institute, so plan to go, every
ne who can, if only for a day.

Mrs. Sanford, the chairman, "is to
