st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 4.-You
ought to see that booth-that Beltra-
mi county booth.
1t certainly is fright there with the
goods"
A more tastily arranged, carefully
planned and perfectly executed booth
is not to be found in the whole of the
northern wing of the Agricultural
building, where twelve other neigh
boring counties are contending for the
prizes that indicate the real value of
the land within that county.
And in all the entire region there
are no more energetic and enthusiast
tic champions of her products than A.
P. Richie, F. S. Arnold, c. P. Schroe-
der and August Jarchow, who came
here in charge of the Beltrami exhib-
it.
THE more see of the other exhib-
it's in this building" said Mr.. Richie
to a Pioneer representative today,
the more satisfied l am that our ex-
hibit has a chance to come within the
money. In fact, l confidently expect
that we will at least go home with
similar prize to the one we took last
year,
Hold on, hold on there chimed in
Mr.. JarchOw. IF you don't look out
you'll have this newspaper man be-
lieving that the next state fair will be
held in Beltrami county,
We'll, | don't know of any better
county in which to hold the state
fair retorted Mr.. Richie, with en-
thusiasm.
yes, but they haven't come to that
yet," cautioned Mr. Jarchow, "and
you mustn't overlook the fact that the
Minnesota state fair is held about ten
days too early to show up the prod
ucts of those Northern counties to
the best advantage
"You're right; I'll admit that
assented Mr.. Richie, "but when they
get to holding the state fair in Bel
trami we will make them put it off
to suit our convenience and then our
county will always take first prize -
1t was plain that no damper could
be thrown upon Mr.. Ritchie's enthu-
siasm
Signs From Potatoes.
Passing through the main entrance
gate at the southeast corner of the
enclosure you follow the winding
driveway up slight incline and the
first large building that you come to
is the one housing the different coun-
ty eXhibits-the Agricultural build
ing. To the right of the entrance
as you proceed and observe the di-
verging north wing, the first object
your eyes will probably rest upon is
the Beltrami county booth.
Potatoes Dug From Beltrami Soil.
But don't be hasty; this booth is
worth inspecting infinitely. Over
the entrance is design cleverly ex.
ecuted in red and white spelling the
word BELTRAMI. The first letter in
spelling Of the word is composed en-
tirely Of the white Burbank cariety
and the second letter is a Bliss Tri
umph, red in color. Then the color:
alternate, red and white, to the enc
of the word The name of the coun
ty is made to stand out in prominen
relief on this uniquely designed
"signboard," by delicate background
of buckwheat, and then as if by wa.
of enclosing it all there is a wide
border of white clover seed.
That is your introduction. Be
meath the design stand three or fou1
enthusiastic champions of Beltram
county, who cordially extend a wei
coming hand to all who may seen
interested in the exhibit. And if yot
accept their invitation you will Ger
tainIy be repaid for the time spen
in their booth
You are now inside, and perhaps
it is Mr.. Richie who is talking tt
you.
