HOW TO TIGHTEN

School Of Household Economics
viii Be a Feature Of In
dustriaI Exposition

Many miles are covered by the av.
erage housewife in the simple per.
Torrance of her household duties be-
fore the setting sun brings the day to
a close. In the kitchen from stove to
cupboard, from cupboard to table,
from table to sink, the ceaseless
after mile to her daily walk. Year in
and year out it is the same monoto-
nous drudgery, with NJ 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. 1 to 13.
Commissioner W. G. 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 a~ttractively 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 &
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
pa%tronized by the feminine sex, who
will enjoy every minute Of their stay
at North Dakota's own land show.
