restful, so to linger ten or fifteen
minutes with the musicians is real
treat before you take up your march
again. 1t is on this second floor that
tie booth decorators have tried to
Guido each other and the rivalry mas
given visitors something in real ART
to look at.
Beginning down at the end of the
north corridor again as We die on
the third floor We find Stutsman coun-
ty, and q veritable flower garden.
! Just why Stutsman county should run
20 to posies no one seems to know.
! Perhaps s. w. Kurtz, the man IN the
case, is responsible. Mr.. Kurtz says
he had but four days to assemble the
exhibit for Stutsman and from appear
ances If more had been allotted II
would have been wasted.
Richland county. Yes, here you
are as usual with the best of every
thing, but Stark, right over the way,
| certainly has you tied.
Then follows the real rivals. Eddy
and Emmons. One would think that
Ed and En- would get on we'll, and
they do, but the contest with one to
Guido the other in the way of novelty
and unique decorations is wonder
to see. If one were given to punning,
thing barred from these columns.
he might say Kidder was there to kid
Ed and EN-, but the staid old county
of Kidder is terribly in earnest and
is after prize money.
Following Kidder comes Mercer
and Dickey, with handsome booths
rich in prize grabbing products.
When Mrs. Budlong selected
booth for the travelling library display
she must have taken it with view
of lending variety to the row. for it
is located right in strongly agricui-
tural district and right opposite
Towner county. Now, Towner coun-
ty is quiet spot to look at for the
display is spellbinding. Perhaps this
is the reason it selected the turn in
the road, for here the visitor travels
eastward again and it is not dark in
the east" In fact it seems to grow
lighter as you progress. Right around
the corner is Burleigh county and a
regular stop. It Is not necessary to
use the flag at Burleigh station for
it is regular stop. And facing Bur-
leigh is Morton. Anybody claiming
that Morton and Burleigh had poor
crops this year must revise their
statement after looking at these dis
plays.
Hettinger county promised to do
the right thing by the exposition early
in the fight and she has redeemed
her pledge.
Wells county has sent four of her
best citizens to entertain visitors
with funny stories. Not that the
Wells county booth is not of an enter
tanning nature but it is built like a
theatre and suggests vaudeville. Ed
F. Volkman. George Seymour and
Fred J. Gimblett are the chief actors.
Redmond Olson, the landscape gar
dener, was brought along to do the
work.
Then follows the booths occupied
by Ward and Billings counties with
their rich possessions. These boths
will make the visitor hesitate and
take notice.
Right in among this agricultural
wealth Mrs. WEIGH selected a booth
to display fine fur goods and other
merchandise from the Famous store
in Bismarck. And she has chosen
we'll.
Away back in the east corner is
Mckenzie county with A. F. Noble in
charge. Mckenzie and Williams are
neighbors at home and they refused
to be separated abroad so they are
making their exhibits side by side.
After viewing these marvels from
the field, garden and truck patch, it
is a relief to return to fairyland for
a brief season. The ladies are "a
vored as they should be. Way back
in a wing to themselves are five large
booths beautifully furnished and
handsomely appointed with big glass
cases, easy chairs and inviting settees.
This Is the women's and children's
department. And fancy work! There
has never been anything like it seen
in the northwest. It would take a
woman skilled in the arts to venture
a description From the exclamations
heard there this afternoon it is safe
to concluded that surprises lie in
waiting for all lady visitors To the
male eye it looks like a beautiful
picture which might have been pro-
duced with brush rather than a needle.
M woman visiting the exposition will
fail to visit this department.
And another drop now lands the
visitor at the door Of the theatre, not
puny make-believe but a real play
house with easy chairs, a big stage
and fine scenery.
Owing to the dedicatory exercises
going on there this afternoon there
was no regular performance. but the
real shows will begin tomorrow aud
continue through the btlance Of the
exuosition. And they may be enjoved
without extra charge. It is the resting
smell after a. hard dav of delightful
sight seeing. For the opening day
