constructed Of wheats and grasses: It.

i to call the attention of mary to the dis
play who might otherwise. pass it by.
There is a marked abundance In every
thing. exhibited by North Dakota: while
the Minnesota agricultural exhibit is
of light and graceful nature. giving
i in it's main aspects the idea of artful
