Call For Exhibits Meets With Success.

Mrs. Robert H. Strong of Indianapolis, Superintendent of Indiana’s Woman’s Work Exhibit at the Pana-ma-Pacific Exposition, who is going into each county in the state to solicit fancy work for this exhibit, gave an interesting talk to the ladles of Rensselaer on Tuesday evening, at the high school auditorium. She told of her travels throughout the state in quest of fancy work for exhibit, and of some of the exquisite and beautiful w’ork she had secured. She said the woman’s work exhibit was to be given in the Varied Arts building at the exposition, and was given a space fifty feet by seventy feet. An artist is there now planning a scheme of decoration as a setting for this exhibit. Sculpture, pottery, china painting, and all kinds of needle work will make up this exhibit.

The women of the are asked to contribute, and those who wish to do so may obtain contributor's blanks and tags from Mrs. George A. Williams, chairman of the .Jasper County Woman’s Work Exhibit.
