ed to be large, in fact, a number are
already here and will be placed the

Glass a.: the poultry exhibit, is re-
ceiving considerable attention from
the management, and this feature,
while new in the Lake Region, should
prove an eye opener to those who have
failed to take advantage Of this source
Of revenue. The raising of poultry
could be developed into an industry
Of considerable proportions, and the
attention given it during the fair will;
go a long way toward getting it under
4 way. .ss4 sl3 N &
Grains, grasses and produce will, OF
course, make up a large proportion OF
A the exhibits and just what the Lake

ducts will be thoroughly demonstrats

4 the interest they take. in their work.
The manual training display, to be.
] participated in by the high schools, the
Fort Totten Indian school and the. le.

be an interesting one. The E, cleyerness e et
II acquired By these pupils in making ar -S
ticles from wood, etc, as taught IN IN

The merchants display will { be. an, an.
other feature Of the fair that Will be be
# source Of interest to all. Not only

& nifty to place their. wares where they

also show the progressive ess on the
Devils Lake merchants In bending ey-
cry effort toward making the fair the

thing to be considered in this connec-
gtfon, is the tone such q display will
give the exhibits. "a well filed pavil-
Hon. where merchants, farmers and
