An Interesting Exhibit.

George D. Benson, of Jamestown, N. D.,
says the Chicago Record is an artist in ce-
real mosaics. With wheat, rye, corn, clover
seed, corn husks and -four paste he turns
out designs Of intricate pattern ard IN as
tonishing variety of colors. He is pursuing
his peculiar art in the interest Of the North
Dakota exhibit in the agricultural building,
working out mosaic nearly ten feet square
1t represents an drmored knight on horse
back. The knights face is made of wheat of
various shades and black suuaw coin coiosss
the eyes. The shirt of mail is made Of red
and the armor of yellow coru and timothy
grass heads. The knights flowing robe is
formed Of wheat in the head, and his sword
of clover seed and corn. Corn silk makes a
realistic toll for the ,prancing war.horse,
whose b6dy is made of wheat. Coin busks
are cleverly arranged for the banner, which
floats from n pole made of corn kernels
When this design is completed Mr.. Benson
begins work on a statue which is intended to
convey the idea that "Columbias Favorite
Child, the State of North Dakota, Feeds the
World" The group, with its pedestal, will
measure thirty feet from the floor to it's high
cit point. It will be made OF staff and tinted
with grain, corn husks and other cereals.
