w. r. Cushing one of, those, in
charge;of North Dakota's agricultural
exhibit, thus challenged a visitor at
the agricultural building yesterday af-
ternoon. AS he spoke he raped with
his: knuckles on a gigantic plaster
paris sheaf of wheat, which is the front
piece Of the states pavilion. The
visitor was quite confident from the
sound and feeling that it was No. I

examine some of the genuine at close

a :" North Dakota is out after the
medal said MIR. Cushing to a Courier
reporter. "''We have taken the gold
medal on our wheat at New Orleans,
Chicago and Omaha, and we expect to
take it at the Pan-American EXPOSE
tion too. We have two strong COM,
petitors here, Minnesota and the prov
ince of Manitoba, Canada, but still we
feel pretty shure that we will get the
medal. $s.& 3..:ss1: ..@:-s1: -. 8.
.$S North Dakota is a great state" he
continued, and know almost any
number OF men who went there ten or
twenty years ago on cattle cars, who
now own hundreds Of acres of magni-
fcent land and are worth from $780,
coo up; all made out of the soil, too.
S II remember one man i sold lum-
ber to twenty years ago. He drove
into the yard at noon one day., UNI
!hitched his team and gave his horses
a feed OF something like bran mash,
then he took some of it off on piece
Of paper and laid it down before a
great big Newfoundland or mastiff dog
he had with him, " ~ s +, !. ~, -, r
h So What are you feeding bran mash
to the dog for?' I asked. a.
Is Because he's hungry -'<* +
Il. I, :. Well, why don't you give him a
bone?'' ..& 81. 5....G$. :sss 49,. ,,.'

like. Can't afford 'em.' p 49,, II = .,.,..s
Today that man rides around in
his barouche and is a director in one
OF our national banks. He doesn't
have to feed his dogs bran mash any
more .-s. u. 4..., :s..s,.s. e,,r..
$8As North Dakota has a pre-eminent
reputation as wheat state, the COM
missioners have thought it wise to do
something which will show it is pos
sible to grow some other cereals UP
that way, and they have hit upon a
novel plan of impressing this fact upon
the exposition public. They will show
a corn COW. The body of the bovine
will be staff, but set into it and en-
tirely covering. the exterior will be
millions of kernels Of North Dakota
grown corn. 1T will be a great nov
| city in the way Of q corn display and
will certainly attract the attention OF
hundreds of visitors. 5zs. E. Il
| Members OF the Benevolent and Pro
tective Orders of Elks will find on ex-
hibit in the North Dakota pavilion
one OF the celebrities of their order,
This is Old Bill,'' the magnificent
stuffed Elk which was awarded in
competition at the national conven-
| tion at st. Louis to the Elk's lodge of
Grand Forks. s The elks of that place
have loaned old Bill 4 to their state
commissioners and will be shown here
all during the exposit tion. He was
| taken out OF his crate yesterday but
as the North Dakota space IS crowded
with unpacked boxes, he was temper
arily set up il the Missouri pavilion
across the aisle, where he attracted
the attention Of hundreds Of visitors
4 another display which the North
Dakota folks make not strictly agri-
cultairaI, is AZ heads 81 two deer se
nrn1ly fastened together By their ant
Iers that It IS impossible to break them
| apar The subjects mounted and i
known as the death lock. The tive
| deer had engaged ID battle and it i
Ievident from the positions Of this
heads that tne fight had been d telriae
one One Oh the ID deea. ii its struggles
had ianpaled iits neck with two small
limbs ofs tree. T'his probably caused
its death any rate It was dead
! when the hunter came upon them Ht
shot the living one and had the two
heads preserved and mounted ID ths
