neybrook two weeks ago when the
matter of advertising the resources of
the northwest, was discussed.
The delegates considered the best
manner of advertising this section of
the state and it was agreed that the
$24OO fund, voted by the county COM
missioners, in the form of quarter
mill tax, could not be better spent
than in paying for speakers and ex-
hibits to visit several of the county
fairs in Illinois this fall. According
ly, the association voted to send j. M.
Devine of this city and E. 7. Carey
Of Donnybrook to Galesburg and Ale
do, Ill, within few days. ]. M. De-
vine left for Minneapolis last night
to arrange for transportation of the
exhibits and Mr.. Carey will lose no
time in gathering one of the finest
lots of specimens ever grown in the
state. A tent will be secured, a band
will furnish music and the speakers
will give truthful and glowing ac-
counts of what the eastern farmer
can expect to do in North Dakota
