VALUE OF AN EXPOSITION.
= =

When contemplating the tremend-
dous outlay or time, money and en-
ergy necessary to carry through to
a successful issue such an undertake
ing as a statewide exposition many
people are inclined to, ask themselves
the q~uestion-is It worth while?
But little study Of the matter is
needed before answering the ques.
ton most emphatically in the afirna-
tive. Yes, it is certainly we'll worth
while. BY no other method is it pos.
sible to place before the public so
true and expressive a d%elineation Of a
peoples agricultural. mercantile and
other activities. In the carefully
arranged booths and aisles of an ex-
position building we have presented
to us the actual products Of the soil
and output of our factories. No
painted copy Of these, no matter how
artistically executed can carry the
same lesson as the thing itself; no
written description, no matter how
forcefully presented can inform the
visitor so ~convincingly of what, the
people are raising, making and doing
as the we'll arranged tableaux and In
finite variety of a state exposition.
1t is because they are SO thorough.
lys convinced of the truth of these con-
illusions that the Bismarck CONNER
cial Club. has buckled on its armor
and undertaken to carry through the
Third State Exposition at Bismarck
to a successful conclusion. No one
knows better than the gentlemen
who have the active conduct of the
affair in hand the magnitude of the
task before them. but on the, other
hand no one more thoroughly ,appre'
ciates the benefit to be gained when
the thing shall have been accomplish
ed and the thousand and n details
Of. a busy peoples occupations con
cretely shown by the results of their
labors, skillfully arranged and cata-
logued, SO that all may see, study and
initiate. .@ - a-
The work already accomplished by
this enterprizing organization fully
justities the prediction that the com,
ing event. yi3 sfar excel any Of its
predecessof1 a1 elaboration OF detail
and faithful portrayal of the states
labors during the past year. Natur-
ally agriculture will dominate the ex-
hibits, but other branches of common
progress will not be neglected. Spe-
cial attention is to be paid to the
dairying feature and the wonderful
growth of this industry during the
last twelve months will be adequate
~ set forth. There will of course
be plenty to amuse as we'll as instruct
and vaudeville and other attractions
Of the highest order are promised.
It is expected that Bismarck's mag.
nificent new auditorium, with a seat.
Ing capacity of over n thousand
people, will be open by the date set
for the exposition. Bismarck is
proud of her public buildings and this
latest addition to them will still fur
Their add to the beauty of the city.
Now that the preliminary details
Of. the exposition have been worked
out and everything points 10 anoth-
er glorious success it becomes more
and more incumbent upon each and
every citizen Of Bismarck to- take q
hand in the. affair and make it their
inAividual business to boost hard q and
III the time, to the end that there be
no tagging on the way but that inter
Ell and enthusiasm may be maintain.
