This is the time of the year when
boards grow rapidly and the barber
shops are doing thriving business.
According to q we'll known tonsorial
artist employed In one of the leading
shops In the city, it is q grave mis-
take for men to shave too closely in
warm weather In particular. "More
faces are made sore and broken ont
with rash by this than any other
manner" the barber stated. "You
see, a person perspires freely these
hot days and II the face is too CLOSELY
shaven the pores are filled with pers-
piration and the dust, invisible to the
naked eye, always settling about a
room, In the air we breathe and eyery-
where. II man is employed in some
mechanical work where the dust comes
from Injurious materials, SO much the
worse for the same settles upon his
face, Is mingled with the perspiration
and by wiping the same from the brow
an Irritation Is Occasioned which is the
cause of disagreeable rash. A man
should shave daily, once over, in the
morning II convenient, and not too
close. II he does this, his face will
be free from eruptions and smooth
and Clean"
They can say what they want to
about Lake Bemidu and any other
summer resort, but Maple Lake is
good enough for me-" were the words
of Frank Kent, the we'll known jeweler
and florist. Mr.. Kent has been putting
in his summer at the lake and is one
of the enthusiastic admirers of the
pretty sheet of water over in Mime
sofa. Frank states that the fishing is
good this year and that there are more
resorters there than ever before. The
lake is at good heighth this year
and the bathing places are in fine
shape, there being few weeds to an
noy the bathers. Cottages are going
up every year and Maple Lake, ac-
cordfng to It's admirers, will hold its
own with any of the resorters in this
section"
A we'll known gentleman recently
moved into. room he had engaged
in certain block and-he is now
ready to move out again. 1t seems
that the gentleman referred to is
somewhat of stickler when it comes
to having too close an acquaintance
with bed bugs. In fact, he draws the
line at these festive, but harmless
little members Of the insect world and
has holy horror of them. One night
not long ago as he lay perusing the
daily paper and oblivious to all about
him, he happened to glance at the wall
when strange shadow appeared,
slowly moving across the surface of
the wall, large and we'll outlined, hav-
ing the appearance of monster po-
tato bug. The new roorher gazed at
that shadow in a sort of hypnotic
trance. What was It? Whence came
it? Whittier was it going? Finally
his eyes left the wall and searched
the pillow for the Individual respon-
sible for the shadow. He found it.

GREEN GRAIN EXHIBIT.
Eclipses That Of Any Other Grain Ex.
hlbt On the Fair Grounds.

The agricultural college green grain
exhibit in the tent along side of the
Canadian government grain exhibit at
the state fair is a sumner. At the sug-
gestion of some Of the land men of the
state, Prof. o. o. Churchill of the A.
G. decided Tuesday night to put up
this special exhibit for the particular
purpose Of directing the minds of pro-
spective home buyers and homestead
seekers to the possibilities of the state
of North Dakota.
So bright and early Wednesday
morning he donned his overalls and
shed his coat took man and team,
a scythe and an old fashioned cradle
and went out into the college grain
grasses outside, of their test plats and
jumbled an exhibit of wheat, oats, bar
ley, speltz sorgum, bronze grass, Glow
er, alfalfa, Canada peas, millet, etc.,
etc., that entirely eclipsed the best
specimens of like varieties found in
the Canadian government worlds fair
exhibit. His best clover was two and
one-half times as long as their best
and his bronze was about one foot
better than their best. Other things
were in proportion. He accomplished
this in spite of the fact that the
Canadian government had spent
weeks Of time and thousands of dol
lars in getting up their display and
that he spent less than five hours with
his and could not have the privilege
of showing his best.
Besides the green grain exhibit he
took over one of his show cases con-
tanning over twenty varities of corn
grown at the A. c. last year and two
sacks of Golden Dent in bdlk This
surprised some, who thought that corn
could not be grown here and opened
their eyes to the fact that corn can
be grown successfully anywhere in
this state.
There was also an exhibit of sod
grown grain from Stark county shown
by local real estate man that sug-
gested to the many the ACCESSIBILITY of
hunting cheap lands and free home
steads in North Dakota, rather than
across the line. Professor Church
hill is to be congratulated on his
work and energy in this matter.

EXHIBITS ARE. NOW
ARRIVING
DAILY
Everything Now Ready fol
Opening Of Great Red River
Valley Fair.

Order Is coming from what has
seemed to be chaos at the grounds of
the Great Red River Valley Exposition,
and there remains nothing to be done
except to place the exhibits and open
the gates. OF course the exhibits will
not begin to arrive to any great extent
until Monday, though some are already
in. and those which require time for
arranging will be placed in position
during the remainder of this week and
Monday. There is no need of hurry or
haste in arranging anything, as every
detail is complete and every exhibitor
has his arrangement planned.
The Women's department will be
one of the greatest ever attempted in
the state. The artistic work has been
done by s. ]. Simpson and is marvel
of beauty and taste. In conjunction
with the Women:s department, a new
feature has been inaugurated compris-
ing rest room for the ladies. This
will be in the main building and near
the Women's department. The room
will be furnished with easy chairs.
sofas, and mirrors, and ladies can find
a place to rest and enjoy coy hour
away from the hurrying throng.
Every booth in the main exhibition
building has been taken, and more than
three fourths of those in the agricul-
tural building. This latter building
has been sort of Jonah in the past
and the few exhibits made in it last
year caused many exhibitors to object
to taking space in it. But the dis
plays there this year will be among the
finest of the great fair. 1t will in
clude the school exhibits, nursery,
apiary, and the finest agricultural ex-
hibits ever seen in the state. 1t will be
a veritable farmers paradise.
When the gates swing open to admit
the great crowds of people who will be
In attendance next Tuesday morning
they will open upon the greatest fair
ever attempted, much less ever realized
in this state. 1t will be proud monu-
ment to the untiring industry and
public enthusiasm of the people of
Grand Forks.

Is not recognized as such. Its main
line runs along Maiden lane, with its
foot resting along Broadway and it's
arms extending north and south along

Building a Residence.

F. c. Massee, one of the resident
attorneys of the city, is erecting
coy residence on N. Second street.
The foundation is already in and work
on the superstructure will be pushed
just as fast as possible. The north
end is one of the most delightful resi-
dence locations in the state the groves
and rolling ground making it ideal.
The trees serve as protection from the
winds In winter and afford the most
de1ightful shade in summer.

from gas engines of American con-
struction.
Every record in building was broken
as for instance, the first boat was
turned over to the government f1xe
weeks and five days from laying ner
keel. which means that she was COM
pleted in about one-sixth of the pre-
vious time for any similar work. The
contract stipulated that they should be
so constructed as to be easily trans
ported by rail The new boats are
now all in the Black sea.

HOW BIRDS SOAR.
The Kite q Master of the Art q
Soaring.


I'm the summer of 1872 l was visit
ing on the Warm Springs reservation
in eastern Oregon" says writer.
THE residences of the government EN-.
ployees We're in deep valley between
table lands through which the water
courses had cut deep canyons. l climb
I'd up on one of these tables, the edge
bf which was in most places perpen-
dicular for ten, twenty and more feet,
and as l stood there in a strong breeze
blowing against the face Of the slope
a small hawk came gliding along eight
or ten feet above the edge and follow
ing the course of the edge, and he kept
OH until he was little more than u rod
away from me- He seemed to be max
ing no effort except a little balancing
and turning in order to steer himself.
The explanation seemed to me very
simple Just there at the edge there
was a strong, sharply ascending cur
rent which enabled him to use wind
and gravity against each other.
'In the autumn Of that year l went
to Fuchau, China, and there l found
the city frequented by species OF
large bird which we call kite. It
seems to be half hawk, half buzzard,
in its build and habits. Its fight Is
heavy and awkward, its wings being
too big for it's pectoral muscles, and
their tips are not pointed like hawks,
but broad and square across. But 1t
Is master of the art of soaring.
There are In Fuchau two hills which
lie square across the path Of the after
noon sea breeze Here toward the
close Of a breezy autumn afternoon
dozen or a score of these kites will
resort and have genuine coasting
game.
These hillsides are quite steep. and
of course there results a strong sharp
upward current at the top. The kites
come to the top and, starting from the
eddy in the lee of the top, glide out
into the uprushing current wings bal
ancing up and down and head and tail
turning and twisting till they are in
the heart Of the upward current, and
then they turn broadside to it and are
borne upward and backward seventy
five or hundred feet. Then they de-
scend again into the eddy and again
steer themselves out into the uprushing
current Throughout it all there is very
little tapping of the wings."-Chicago
