company is one of the strong institu-
tions of Mitchell and in the few years
that it has been running has acqulr-
ed a large business. With tested
seeds the company has had splendid
success in the matter of production,
for the good reason that everything
is acclimated, and further that the
company guarantees its seeds, n
that is something which very few
If any, companies do. Mr.. Wheeler
is giving out packages of seeds as a
souvenir of the occasion.
The Newburys occupy their old cor
ner in the northwest corner OF the
gallery with a beautiful assortment OF
ported plants and flowers. and
they are constantly beseiged with q
stream of callers, people from all
parts Of the state who have been do
ing business with them for a great
many years. The greenhouse over
on the south side is probably one OF
the best advertised establishments In
the city, and the Newburys have won
just a fine reputation, for they are
honest, conscientious and try in every
possible way to please and satisfy
their customers. 1t is a great insti-
tuition the Newburys have on the
south side with their $4,000 square
feet of glass surface for their green
houses that takes four large 5O-horse
boilers to heat, and acres of ground
devoted to the cultivation Of their
trees, shrubs, etc. Their large list of
highly satisfied customers in all parts
of the state and northwest is the best
advertisement of their goods.

proposition.

p. Sand has placed a very fine dis

employs $50 people, 65 of whom are

men on the road, and they get sufh-

run up to the limit to supply the
goods. The factory was established
in 1904, and has built up a fine bust
ness over the northwest. People are
coming to buy the goods that are
made nearer home and the Manches-

been established at Fargo, N. D., to
cover that territory more fully.

fine display in the work Of art from
the studio of Miss Florence Starr and
the pictures are admired by the

accuracy of that department. Two
silver loving cups are placed on the
stand to show the public that school
has won two prizes in the state ora
%torical contests which have been held
in recent years, and that it means
large mental development to attain
this. The university has just opened
its fall term of school with an attend
ance that is highly gratifying TO the
management. The institution is the
best UNCONVENTIONAL school in the
state and has the strong support OF
the Methodist conference. 1t is on
a par with the very best of any OF
