Xlie Illinois Woman's Exposition 

 Board is charged with the duty of pre- 

 paring for the World's Columbian Expo- 

 sition an exhibit representing the 

 industries of the women of this State. 

 In order to set about this work intelli- 

 gently, and prosecute it thoroughly, the 

 Board needs the fullest possible informa- 

 tion in regard to the part now being 

 taken by women in the Industries of 

 Illinois. Every woman in the State 

 who is engaged in any profession, craft 

 or other industry, is earnestly requested 

 to send her name, address and occupa- 

 tion to this Board. With this data the 

 Board would be best able to plan the 

 exhibit and reach the possible exhibitors. 



"World's Fair. — The general pas- 

 senger agents of twenty of the railroads 

 entering Chicago have organized a 

 special association for the determination 

 of excursion rates to the Exposition, and 

 for arranging facilities for caring for 

 the enormous crowds of visitors to the 

 World's Fair. 



Mrs. Lr. Harrison, commenting 

 upon the Illinois State Fair in the 

 Prairie Farmer, says : 



To-day (Sept. 28) I have been upon 

 the grounds all day, and met a few bee- 

 keepers who were placing their honey 

 and bees upon exhibition. There is 

 more honey and of better quality than I 

 expected to see. Quite a large exhibit 

 came from Iowa. 



Wlien Writing a letter be sure 

 to sign it. Too often we get letters 

 with the name of the post-office, but no 

 County or State. One such came 

 recently, and we looked into the Postal 

 Guide and found there were places by 

 that name in 13 States. That order for 

 goods will have to wait until another 

 letter comes to give the proper address. 

 Be sure to stamp your letter, or it may 

 go to the dead letter office.
