The State Industrial Exposition at

prospects, the greatest and most var

the exposition has grown by leaps and

counties in the state which are not
already saving samples of vegetables
and other farm products to be exhib'
tied.

at almost the last moment to take

few days at the outside, what mater

and the whole was hastily assembled
in one of the exposition booths.
In spite of these handicaps Barnes
county tied with anoher for second
place, and gained hereby much honor
and advertising through the state.
The Commercial club will do we'll
to be beforehand this year, make its
preparations early, and get every
farmer in the county to watching for

cOBeLER TAKES TURN
SITTING ON EGGS; FINE
BROOD Is THE RESULT

Starkweather, N. D., July Is
"A gobbler on the William
Baker farm east Of here has
assumed the dual role Of faith
er and mother to a brood of
three young turkeys. 81.
The turkey hen laid four
eggs in a pen Of hogs. Evil
IDENTIFY she did not like her
surroundings, as she abandon
doned them. Noting her neg
ligence, the gobbler assumed
her place on the eggs, and in
four weeks brought out three
little turkeys. That was two
weeks ago, but the old gobbler
is still maintaining his reputa-
ton as a mother.
Will experts at the state fair
at Grand Forks kindly decide
first, if the gobbler should die,
would the young turkeys be
orphans, and again, If the hen
turkeys of the brood marry,
will their father give the bride
away; or, should the neigh
boris young gobbler a wooing
go, would it be the gobbler
who would set the alarm clock
at 10 p. m. or the original
