GOOD ACCOUNT or THIS
YEARS ExPoslTloN TO THEIR
HOME CITY.

Grand Forks Herald: The Grand
Forks delegation that visited the state
fair Id Fargo yesterday returned home
In the evening well pleased with the
exposition that Is being staged in the
up-river city.
The fair is a good one. The stock
exhibits, machinery displays, the races
and the free attractions, are all that
could be asked, and the crowds at
tending are thoroughly pleased with
them.
Fargo, in its present fair, is main
tanning the states reputation in the
matter Of holding good fairs. That
the citizens should appreciate the eff
forts Of the fair association Is the be-
lief of the Grand Forks visitors at
Fargo, and, judging from the crowds
and the interest Of the people, they
also believe that they do appreciate
what is being done.
Exhibitors are showing a very keen
interest In fairs, and the fair mana
gers also are doing their best to make
North Dakota the best state for fairs
In the union.
Members OF the local delegation were
well cared for yesterday by the officials
OF the Fargo association. 1t was Fargo
and Moorhead day. and the crowd was
a splendid one. Stores and offices
closed during the day to give all an
opportunity Of attending, and the peo-
pie Of the two cities, and the OUT
side visitors, combined to make the
fair good one.

The matter of raising subscriptions

Letters continue to pour into the
Fargo Commercial club rooms in re-
gard to the shortage Of men for the
harvest. but 1t il not likely that a
meeting will be called here OF the
commercial clubs of the State. as it
is felt that this will be useless. The
object of sending the letters out to
the commercial clubs was to stir them
up to the necessity of securing help
Just as soon as possible for the great
harvest in North Dakota and 1t is be-
lieved that this has been effectively
done
Word comes from Ryder that from
200 to 800 men are needed there and
that 900 can find employment at Sour

sent in letters stating that men can
find employment there. Every effort
is being made to secure the men, the

Secretary Slime OF the commercial
club states that there are plenty OF
rooms for all who come to Fargo this

the hotel people do not let the people
who call at the hotels know that the

One of the most interesting booths
in the Merchants pavilion is that
showing the products OF western Cam

tages offered by that country to the
