The inauguration ceremony will be attended by the Minister of Commerce and the Ambassadors and Ministers of the principal foreign powers. Later, at a day not yet set, the President of the republic will dedicate the reconstructed Hotel de Ville, or city hall, and tho library, the latter the gift of the late Andrew Carnegie. Of the 8,625 dwelling; and shops completely destroyed and over 5,000 damaged, more than 10,000 have beer, rebuilt. The factories and workshops have completely resumed work, and the exhibition is expected to reveal the remarkable revival of the industries which were ruined from 1914 to 1918.

The cutworm is a serious menace to the tobacco grower in his efforts to obtain a uniform stand of tobacco from the first planting.
