nous drudgery, with no change OF
scenery. How many women would
like to learn how their days labor
might be lightened? An opportunity
has presented itself in the school OF
household economics and domestic
science that will be conducted by Mrs.
G. l.. Martin of Fargo during the sec.
ond annual Industrial Exposition at
Bismarck Oct. l to IL.
Commissioner w. c. Gilbreath has
arranged many other features that
will appeal to women. The women's
department in the Exposition building
will be the mecca of the fair sex dur
ing the big show, and will be in charge
Of Mrs. B. G. Whitehead. Elaborate
displays of needlework Of all kinds,
%jellies, jams, preserves, and all that
pertains to woman's sphere in the
household, will be attracuvely shown.
There will also be cozy rest rooms,
where women visitors may repair for
a breathing spell during their trip of
sightseeing through the four Indus
trial Exposition buildings.
Many special musical features will
be held during the exposition, chief
among which will be the prize
piano contest open to all North Dako-
tans. The best performer in the final
public recital and grand concert will
be awarded a handsome $3.50 Bush 4
Gerts piano. Bands and orchestras
will be playing during the entire
eleven days, and there will be music
galore.
The floral exhibits will also be a
source of interest for the women, and
many valuable premiums have been
offered for the best displays in the va
rious classes. The dairy show, poul.
try show, dog and household pets
show, and other events will be widely
patronized by the feminine sex, who
will enjoy every minute of their stay
at North Dakota's own land show.

DAIRY EXHIBIT
At BISMARCK
Managers Of Exposition Would
Stimu!dte Interest in This
Branch Of Farm Wc:k.

This Is the first year in the history
OF the state that a bumper crop has
not caused a receding of interest in
the dairy industry in North Dakota.
Instead OF farmers feeling overly op.
ttmistic because they have realized
heavy profits on small grain raising,
and planning to try it just once more.
most of them will use a portion of the
money they receive to purchase dairy
stock and modern dairy equipment
Commissioner w. c. Gilbreath, realiz.
ing this tendency and desiring to slim.
ulate interest in dairying SO much as
possible, has added a dairy show to
the second annual North Dakota In.
dustrial Exposition hat will be held
at Bismarck Oct. l to 10.
The principal feature of the dairy
exhibit, that will be CHARTERED in the
%capacious new dairy building. will be
. model sanitary dairy barn, with a
herd of pedigreed dairy stock in
charge of state and federal dairy ex.
perts. Two large concrete silos will
be built by the state. One will be
filed with ensilage that will be fed
to the cows. The other will be built
during the course Of the show, SO that
visitors may watch the work of con.
etruction. Thus a practical lesson in
dairying and in the use of silos will
be afforded everyone. In the lecture
hall addresses will be delivered daily
by the experts in attendance, and one
large hall will be devoted to a display
Of creamery and dairy equipment and
supplies.
The exposition will also include at.
tractive displays Of grains and grasses,
seeds, vegetables and other products
Of North Dakota soil from evsry
county In the state. There will be an
auto show, a poultry show, a dog
show, school Of domestic science, ed
ucational exhibits, machinery display
and women's department. Three daily
vaudeville performances In the Expo
sition building, q street carnival fur
nishing outside attractions, two or
more bands each day to furnish music,
Q prize musical contest are but some
OF the events on the list of entertain
ments. A good time ia in store for
everyone, In addition to the valuable
knowledge that will be CLEANED on a
tour Of the exposition. Many resi-
dents of this locality are already max
ing plans to attend.
