good. have spent considerable time

European nations and have noticed
that not one of the enhancing and
clothesless marble nymphs has a
"sold" card attached, while from the
figures of innocent childhood and kin
dred subjects as many as 80 cards
hang in long strings, showing that so
many copies of the original have been
ordered. The American don't seem to
be interested in the human form un-
adorned-done in marble. Throngs of
him wander past such groups with idle,
almost unheeding glance, the rawlings
of artistic natures over curves and
things is lost on him or her. On the
other hand the presentment of a child
at play or baby face in dimpled
sweetness appeals to his heart. The
fact is the American people-the great
common people-don't believe in any
one going around without enough
clothes on. art or no art.
''Why don't we eastern millers, when
we buy No. 1 hard wheat, get the same
kind OF wheat that you show here?"
asked the owner of a large milling
plant at Ogdensburg, N. Y, yesterday
of North Dakota representative.
Last fall I bought half a million bush
els of hard wheat at Duluth and it
was the most miserable stuff ever
palmed off for a first class article,
but no better than what We always
get, and nothing like what you show
here. l have been buying what l sup
posed was your hard wheat for a num-
Der of years and it don't make me feel
good to think that l have regularly
gotten the worst of it. If your exhibit
was put on wheels and taken around
the eastern milling centers it would
bring such a howl around the Duluth
crowds ears as might wake them up a
little and result in our getting a
square DEAL" The came story has
been told by Others. Can anyone up
there explain the mystery?
Many Of the stories going around
about the expense of board and lodging
while visiting the fair are all poppy-
cock. OF course one can blow in a
gold mine here If he desires, but there
is no reason why one cannot get along
nicely on 81 day and live well, too.
Some have done it much cheaper-it
aid depends on the individual taste.
Very pleasant rooms can be had for
dollar day, breakfast for Is cents,
lunch on the grounds from a quarter
up, and regular dinner that is really
good and nicely served, near ones
room for IS to so cents. This is for
rooms near the center of the city in
the residence section. Rooms and
meals nearer the fair grounds appreci-
ate in cost according to proximity. The
fair attendance is rapidly crawling up
and now averages considerably over
100000 persons per day, paid admis-
sions, which added to the $1,000 pass
es, makes pretty good crowd on the
grounds.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis rail-
road company has been very good to
the state in furnishing passes to the
exhibit employees to and from the state
to the exposition. Several hundred
, , dollars have thus been saved to the
! state and in return it seems to me
our people should patronize that road
in coming to the fair It's equipment
Is fine. fast time is made and it is the
only road that lands passengers at the
fair gates and thus saves half day
| to visitors with limited time Especi-
| ally is this the best road for people
| going to the Inside Inn as cars can
be taken directly to the Inn from the
main gate, thus saving the Juggling of
hand baggage. Buy your tickets via
the Minneapolis C st. Louis road and
in this way show your appreciation Of
It's courtesy. Vs. .. ..-5.5s
