the field, the ranges, the mines, the fax
and woolen mills, the starch, sugar beet
and other factories, the religious and
educational advantages, the culture. of
the homes, pleasure resorts, all these and
many more we desire to place before the
world showing the desirability of the
state as home, for investment and
business enterprises.
To this end the several counties are
asked to contribute in such ameasure
as they may deem best, the coal men,
stockmen, factory and mill men are in
vited to prepare exhibits beneficial to
them and the state. The several state
institutions are also requested to prepare
exhibits of work accomplished, and
private citizens having articles calculated
to exemplify the culture of the home or
enterprise of their community are urged
to interest themselves in this matter. :
There are but six weeks before the
opening Of the exposition and much is to
be done, SO all interesting themselves in
this matter are urged to be expeditions.
Parties having photographs Of the
beauty spots in, the state will confer q
favor by contributing them for use in
the printed matter, it being desirable tc
show the state in it's most attractive
features. If desired, all photos will be
returned uninjured. .
The commissioners have decided to
offer a suitable cash prize for the best
design for state button, watch charm
or other souvenir, the idea being to dis.
tribute this souvenir at the exposition
The design must be typical and distinct
i've Of the state, unique, yet SO plain as
to be recognizable at glance as North
Dakota's emblem. Designs submitted
should also relate to the shape and ma.
terial of the token, the item of expense
being always kept in mind. Here is q
chance for the genius and a, tistic talent
Of the state and it is hoped. generous
response will be made. Address all
communications regarding exhibits OF
souvenir to RI. Turner, Secretary Pan
american Commission, Bismarck, N. D.,
and mark on envelope containing designs
as above: Designs for State Emblsm.' .
All designs must be in the hands of the
