Harry Lewis exhibited a Short
Horn bull that tipped the scales at
| 25sC pound which was the admlra-
ton of all lovers of fine stock. He
had also a dandy Shorthorn COW on
exhibit.
A number of the wholesale and re-
tail interests Of Minot had most cred
table displays. The Minot Grocery
! Co. served coffee free and tea. and
gave free candy to the children.
The ladies were presented very
handy and beautiful tea and coffee
strainer. They had a magnificent dis
play of canned goods, advertising the
Magic and M. G. c. brand of goods.
This exhibit cost some money and
good many hours of hard work.
The Minot College of Commerce
was represented in very creditable
manner. Prof. Stoesmeister had dis
plays of the work that HIS pupils had
done. A young man or young wo-

in the courses that are taught IN this
school, which offers as fine a course
as the schools of the larger cities do.
It is up for. everyone to boost the
College of Commerce, ::or in so doing,
we will indirectly benefit ourselves.
Besides, there's no better school
anywhere. ... -a.-

showed that he hadn't forgotten how
to raise corn. He had a nice ex-
hibit of Flint corn. Mr.. Mann was
one of the first in the northwest to
| demonstrate that good corn could be
raised here. -,
The Woman's building was filled
with the finest display in the land.
We can't begin to describe the beau
ties of the needle art, for we don't
know much ABOUT such things, but
any woman, who can patiently sit
down and make some OF the things
we saw in that building deserves not
one blue ribbon, but two or three OF
them There was wealth of fine
bread, cakes, fruits, canned and pre-
served, butter etc. enough to make
a fellows mouth water. There were
also many beautiful oil paintings

articles, and whatnot. l.
Mrs. Gammons, by the way, filled
the position as Superintendent of the
