Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1902-07-18

sorted and ingeniously displayed at the
Chicago, Omaha and the Buffalo fairs
that the judges on inspection, at once
granted the highest awards to the
credit of our state, of our county and
the state at large.
Now, that agent should likewise
put up the grains in a secure, safe and
attractive manner. The experience
of all exhibitors is to this effect:
They learn that grains displayed in
sacks or any unattractive vessels, al
though they (the ,grains) may be the
best in the United States. attract but
very little attention, but if exhibited
in neat and becoming way. they call
forth the admiration of the most in
telligent and secure the highest recog-
milton from the judges. Hence, the
duty Of the agent should be to put up
the various productions in we'll cleaned
show bottles Of the finest and best
quality, apd in other devices to the
end that every thing in the collection
shall indicate originality, and thought,
and beauty harmonious blending of
colors and shades and effects Of nature s
fruitage produced by the skilful farm
ers of Ramsey county. Such grains,
prepared as have suggested, and dis
played in an unique and artistic
manner, will enable our county to
take the lead in our state exhibit, and
consequently win merit recognition
and testament from the inspecting
judges, which will be the means of
advertising our lani s as among the
best in the western world.
| Neither can Ramsey county, N. D.,
make creditable exhibit at the st.
Louis Fair, without money. If
proper amount of funds can be raised
in our county, we can have an exhibit
second to.no other in North Dakota,
for we can secure the grains of the best
quality, fruit, vegetables, forest trees,
seeds, minerals, ETC. from our terri
tory.
Can the needful money be raised
I believe it can be done. Let us start
subscription asking our business
men and heavy farmers to subscribe in
his own individual name 800 or $50,
according as circumstances will allow,
T with the Understanding, as it was for
the Buffalo Fair, that the state will
, reimburse all who will advance the
money. Success is sure to crown our
efforts if we raise the necessary cash.
\ II Ramsey county succeeds in max
ing an exhibit at the great st. Louis
; Fair, most of the same, doubtless,
could be secured, after the close of the
exhibition for great Chautauqua
museum, which would add wonder
fully to the attraction of the place and
cause great increase of attendance.
By unanimous vote, Mr.. Barrett
was made the agent of the com mittee
to prepare the exhibit. Under his
able direction Ramsey county secured
q the largest number of medals at the
Buffalo exposition. We can do it
again To properly do the work and
put up an exhibit that will be q
