Friday Afternoon and Even.ng-Gov,
ernor Norris Is Guest at Wester,
Montana Apple Show.

The judging of the fruit displays and
exhibits was the most important fea-
ture of the third day of the Western
Montana Apple show. but the decisions
of Judge Fl. Il. Van Deman were re-
ceiyed with an interest not Il bit
stronger than that awakened by the
announcement of two addresses and
demonstration to be given Friday aft
ernoon and evening by the famous ex-
pert. Judge Van Deman coming fresh
from the fruit exhibits of the Alaska
Yukon Pacific exposition. was cntnu-
siastic in his commendation of the To-
cal show and in his comments on the
wonderful showing made by western
Montana. The uncrring accuracy Of
his judgments yesterday stamped him
as an expert. and there is no one
connected with the Western Montana
Apple Show who does not believe that
Mr., Van Deman knows more about
fruit than anybody else in the whole
world. after seeing him at work. Toda,
Judge Van Deman goes to Victor. to
spend the day on tn" ranch of a friend. /
and Friday and Saturday he will spend
at the local exhibit. Friday afternoon
he will speak on Marking and Sam
pling Fruit" and viii accompany his
words with demonstration. On Fri
day evening he will speak on "Horti-
cultural Resources of the Northwest"
