school at Glendale and but few know
what it teaches them. The display
presented by this school will prove a
revelation. 1t will give a good idea
of what may be done in the wood
working lines. There will be a gen.
tlemanly attendant who will take
to all who are interested in the edu-
cational institution.
In this extreme corner of the big
building six booths have been set
aside for the educational institutions
of the state. 1t is not the purpose
this article to describe the contents
of each booth on this the opening day.
That will be the purpose of another
story at another time, but a brief
reference will be made to each booth
in the order they are reached. In
the group of six booths assigned to
the educational institutions is the dis
platy OF the state tuberculosis society,
the Valley City state normal and the
state university of Grand Forks.
Afer viewing this block of educational
exhibits one must conclude that North
Dakota Is not behind any of the older
states in her educational methods and
facilities.
In referring to the county and in
dividual displays in the different
booths brief mention will have to
sunlce, but 1t is little enough to say
that one cannot view them all in a
day and do them full justice.
The first thing to impress the visitor
is the great display of farm products.
the labor it must have cost to produce
them and their abundance. And the
thought suggests itself Can the crops
of 1911 be poor with such an array
of products from every section of the
state?" The answer must be. There
Is enough for all and to spare.
Nestled near the educational booths
comes the magnificent displays in
separate booths of the Oscar H. Hill
Co., with showing of every variety
OF seeds, the Fox Land Co.. and
Harvey Harris & Co., the two latter
named with fine displays of products
of the field.
The International Harvester Co. of
America has display Of twine-the
raw material and the finished prod
uct. The booth is draped with
MANILA fibre and sisal grass and balls
of tWine and rope of all designs. It
presents an instructive study
At the corner of the building
comes the administration Offices
where Superintendent Gilbreath and
his army of assistants have performed
such wonders for the state. And in
a private stall Sam H. Clark. the pub
licity man, who has made the North
Dakota Industrial Exposition a BY
word all over the northwest.
Taking up the line of march and
following the great stream of visitors
the east wing of the building is
reached. The first booth to catch the
eye and stay the vision is the display
Of the American Steel Wire company.
One might wonder how study in
steel wire could claim attention. No.
body can pass by this booth without
stopping to wonder how it may be
done. but the sight to meet the eye
is fascinatingly beautiful.
Everybody has heard of Borden's
Condensed Milk Company of New
York City, but probably no one ex-
pected to find a miniature plant at
the exposition. but 1t is there right
enough. Mrs. Ross Grant is in charge,
Of this booth and she is busy all day
long telling of the virtues of Borden's
condensed milk. .
Anybody ever hear of Energy?
Yes! Well. there is a chance to see
some of the things produced there
by calling at the booth presided over
by T. l.. Stanley. Energy is we'll
named. It denotes action and if any,
body expects to 60 to sleep near the
booth he will reason at variance with
the facts. Energy is painted the
brightest spot in Mclean county.
The Stone-Ordean-Wells Co. have a
zig display of groceries right near
energy and Carlos N. Boynton, the
st. Paul land man, is nicely located
n the same district. He has a display

The Agricultural college and the
state demonstration farms show some
inc products in bunch of booths
n east third floor wing. These booths
will calm attention, of course. as they
should.
Nestled in couple of booths near
he ones mentioned are the Wadena
,racker company and the Hudson 3
Thurber Hardware company with very
lifty displays.
1t is now necessary to drop down
