The Department of Agriculture la endeav
oring to bring about < i plan of action whereby
the department and the exposition may work
together in carrying out a scheme for nn ox-
tcnslvo exhibit showing the advantage of
eurllvatlng fibrous plants In this country.
The Agricultural department has n bureau
which Is In charge of Investigations which
arc being carried on to demonstrate the com
mercial practicability of raising this class of
plants , and the special agent of the depart
ment In charge of this bureau has written to
President Wattles to suggest means by which
this Industry may bo made n prominent
feature of the Transmlsslssippl Exposition.
Charles Richards IJodgo Is the agent In
charge of the Investigations being made by
the Agricultural department , and ho says that
the cultivation of fibrous plants has not re
ceived the attention In this country which
its Importance merits. Ho Is anxious to
bring about an exhibit at Omaha which shall
show to the farmers'of the west the great
Importance of this character of crop and con
vince them tliftt It will bo to their Interest to
undertake Its cultivation.
Mr. Dodge flajs ho has consulted with
Secretary Wilson regarding an exhibit of
this nature by the Agriculture department
n a part of the government exhibit and
the secretary has consented that a portion
of the money allotted to that department
may bo used for the ! purpose. It Is pro
posed to expend this In Installing In the
Government building an exhibit of the dif
ferent varieties of hemp and flax raised in
ill parts of the world.
It U proposed by Mr. Dodge that the ex
position management have In the Agriculture
building an exhibit of machines for culti
vating and harvesting flax , hemp and ramie ,
together with exhibits ot the raw ma-
tcrlal. He etntce that with the assistance
of tbo Bureau ot Fiber Investigations of
the Agricultural department the manufac
turers of these products in this country can
bo Induced to make extensive exhibits and
to suggests that such an exhibit would also
afford the department the opportunity which
it has long sought to test the comparative
merits of the various kinds of machines.
Mr. Dodge says In his letter : "There
novcr was a time when the Interest In fiber
growth was attracting more attention and
next year , of all years , will bo a crucial one ,
so that much good can be accomplished by
holding such u fiber meeting ns I hove sug
gested and by 'having ' such a valuable series
of fiber and machines on exhibition at
Omaha. "
This matter will bo taken up for consider
ation by the executive committee and some
arrangements will undoubtedly be made fcr
bringing about some such plan as Is sug
gested by Mr. Dodge. The adaptability of
the soil of the west to the cultivation of this
variety of product has been recognized for
eomo time , but no systematic attempt has
yet been made to acquaint the farmers of
the wcat with the vuluo of the plants and
the methods of cultivation. Considerable dif
ficulty has also been experienced In getting
proper machinery for Hie cultivation and
treating of the crop and the aim of the Agri
cultural department Is to encourage the
manufacture of 'Improved machinery for
thcso purposes.
Con'trllmtloiiN from School Children.
Contributions to the stock of the Girls' and
Boys' building continue to be made by the

STRIKE DELAYS THE WORK
lonstrnotion at Exposition Grounds
Hampered by Labor Troubles.
IBERAL ARTS BU1DING IS LAGGING
Contractor Pnrrlnlt Snyw He linn All
the Men Me Nceils , Hut the Kxno-
Itlon MnnnKPrB Arc Get-
Anxious.
The strike of the carpenters employed on-
the Liberal Arts building Is having a very
marked effect on that building , and work on
It Is practically at a standstill. About fif
teen men are going through the motions of
working , but no progress whatever U being
mado. According to a. competent authority
there are only two men at work on thta
building aside from the contractor and his
foreman who know anything about practical
carpenter work , and the result Is that con
struction work la at a standstill.
Notwithstanding the fact that the gates
are all locked , with the exception of the ono
ut Sherman avenue and Plnckney street anl
a man Is on guard tncre to keep out all
persons not having business on the grounds ,
there wcro about thirty striking carpenters
and the strike committee appointed some
time ago by tiio Carpenters' union stand-Ing
about the Liberal Arts building all yesterday.
These men made no u tempt to interfere with
the men employed on the building or to go
near them , but they stood near the buildIng -
Ing In small groups and made annoying re
marks about the men who wcro trying to
work. They'twitted the men In various ways
and laughed loudly when thC'lr "nagging"
made n nuin fo nervous that ho dropped tils
tools , as was frequently the case.
Two policemen were on duty about the
building , but the strikers made no attempt
at any violence and the policemen said they
could not prevent the men .from talking.
Under these conditions little or no work
Is being done on this building and the oxpo-
eltion authorities arc getting restless about
the matter. They realize that much valuable
tlmo Is being lost and that radical measures
must bo adopted at once or the buildings
will bo seriously delayed.
Contractor Parrlsh Insists , In answer to
Inquiries , that he has all the men he can
handle , and that ho is making as good prog
ress as U possible at this otage of con
struction , but It Is known , that he has de
manded protection at the hands of the expo
sition authorities , saying that If ho U ? not
protected he cannot carry out his contract.
In spite of all 'that can be done to prevent
It , the strikers are turning fully a score
of men away from the exposition grounds
every day. They stand about the entrances
to the grounds and engage In conversation
every man who looks as though ho was
seeking work. By argument and persuasion
they "induce these men to turn back , and
It ie only the poorest class of workmen , ac
cording to competent authority , who nnd
their way into the grounds and secure em
ployment.
These matters have been fully considered
by the members of the executive committee
and several conferences have been hold with
Ccntractoi Parrlsh. It Is said that plans are
under consideration which will bring about
an amicable adjustment of difficulties and
cause the work to resume rapid progress.

maid of honor from Valley. Does It make any
difference how old the tnaid Is ? " etc. , etc.
The managera will be pleased if the young
oiks will just get after the two weekly

llo a voting contest. It may make consid
erable difference If Valley sends us an old
maid.
A committee- colored gentlemen called

ncclal day during carnival week to be known
as Afro-American day , at which tlmo they
