futile is There.
Col. futile, the giant chief of Kid.
der, Is In charge of the exhibit, and
will explain to all who come why they
can raise more there than anywhere

make you glad you came. The Colonel

Where Walnuts Grow.
One of the unique things in the
Richland county exhibit is a display
of walnuts and butternuts. The trees
have done splendidly. col. Purcell
used to say that they could grow any
thing in Richland county but hair.
Schoolgirls Butter.
Richland county, whose richness
has always been admitted and who
owes SO much to the method of farm
ing and the use of land in that section
has afforded an exhibit that is espec-
tally unique. In the Domestic Science
department today are placed n
hundred and ten exhibits of butter,
all made by school girls of Richland
county. Each jar contains a pound
Of butter made by a school girl, and
it is a feast for the eyes. Managers
Thompson and Hankin have placed
the exhibit to great advantage, and
YOU will miss something if you fail
to go to the basement and witness this
product OF the coming womanhood Of
one Of the richest and best counties OF
the world.

Little Mac Is Here. n
Let the show go on. Little Mac is
here. j. ~. Mcleod the editor Of the
Flasher Hustler, and who has done
so much to make that country attract
i've came in this morning from Man
dan, and looked the fair I'VE Every
exhibit pleased him. ut is the most
beautiful show l even saw he said.
81 have always loved North Dakota,
have always had confidence in it.
But this show gives me something to
fall back upon besides hope, which,
III times gone by, was occasionally
our only asset. | can see where we
can raise our own fruit. We won't
have to ship an apple into this coun.
try. We can have different industries
Of which never dreamed before. This
Is not a grain country any more than
a fruit country. It is the land of milk
and honey, and the best that there IS
only awaits the man who seizes it.
