~HERE is no excuse Tor serving
oysters over and over in the
same way to the oyster lover

served over and over In the

lovers who tire of oysters long before the
advent of the prohibitive LIST OF May,
simply because they tire OF oysters

There are dozens of delicious oyster
dishes that are easy to prepare.
1t would be quite possible to serve
oysters at every course at dinner, save
dessert, although oyster soup is too
heavy for a dinner soup. But oysters
can be served as an appetizer, a soup,
an entree. in place Of meat or with it,
and as salad. And in all these ways
they are delicious.
Oyster soup is a good luncheon soup.
especially satisfactory for school children
There are several ways of varying 1t to
make it tempting.
The first requisite for good oyster soup
of any sort is to cook the oysters only
long enough to make them plump.
Longer cooking toughens them.
This is one method of making oyster
soup: Wash quart of oysters and strain

Vary this soup by adding two table,
spoonfuls of chopped celery to the hot
milk or a teaspoonful of chopped onion
or parsley, or tablespoonful of finely
grated cheese. Sometimes thicken 1t
with tablespoonful Of butter and
tablespoonful of flour rubbed together.

THE FIRST GUN FIRED.

Burle!Sh county, through its pro-
gressive board of commissioners, by
It's action in voting $1,000 for cxposi-
ton purposes, has struck the right
Key In no uncertain manner and has
beyond question removed any posi-
Bile doubt which might yet be linger-
ing in some pessimistic minds as 10
whether there would be a state expi-
sition at Bismarck this coming fall.
Put down in large, red, capitalized
letters that there will be an exposi-
ton, and one that will make Bis
marck the center of observation for
many months to come, besides spread
ing broadcast to the whole world an
up'to-the-minute record of our great
states vast possibilities as an ideal
home for the mar of moderate means
seeking a new location, and offering
the best opportunity for those who
may desire to engage in commercial
or industrial pursuits.
Prior to this definite action ofBur-
leigh county's commissioners much
had already been accomplished along
the lines Of organization for the great
event. Our state publicity agent,
commissioner of Agriculture and La
Dor w. G. Gilbreath, was already in
close touch with the situation; he had
secured substantial monetary support
rom many large interests; the mat
ter was being actively pushed in all
OF the Slope counties, and assurances
Of support and encouragement were
being received by him from every
quarter. Now, at the psychological
moment, comes Burleigh county with
its splendid contribution, making as
snrance doubly sure, solidifying the
foundation, as it were, by the substan-
tlal, official support of a whole COM
munity, finally clinching success, and
placing the undertaking upon a broad
and stable platform.
Burleigh county has certainly fired
the first big gun and it is one of the
fourteen-inch variety; calculated to
inspire those who are already at the
wheel, and instill courage into those
who might be inclined to timidity.
Other counties will, without doubt,
come in with contributions along the
same lines, for the whole western
part of the state is now thoroughly
aroused to the necessity of concerted
action in advertising their resources,
products and opportunities.
Only faithful and determined ef-
fort is now needed to carry out the
enterprise to a glorious success. Let
