largely responsible for their early
popularity.
State Exhibits Extensive.
State institutions have excellent ex.
hibits. They are located in the east
wing on the second floor.
The Grafton State School for the
Predetermined is showing the work Of
the students in basket work, ham,
mocks, fly nets, laundry bags and so
forth. Views of an operetta are par

mates are dressed in costume. Other
pictures are of the children at play,
going through the folk dances and
taking part in a one-legged race.

seven tons to the acre is one of the
chief features of the Reform school,

Harvester Display Interesting.
Prisoners at the State Penitentiary
do not wear uniforms with stripes,
but they do wear neat blue.gray suits
made by the inmates themselves in
the tailor shop. These suits are on

are samples of tAe work done by the
laundry, gears for binding twine ma
chinery made in the prison machine
shop, strong neat pair of working
harnesses made by the prisoners,
complete exhibit showing the differ.
ent steps in the manufacture OF bind
ing twine and a display Of bricks
baked at the prison.
One of the most complete displays
is that of the International Harvester
Company. The pictures illustrating
the different steps in testing corn
by the sigle-gear method are represent
ative of the vast amount Of purely az
ricultural development work being
carried on by this division Of the cor
poration's work. Other pictures show
the many different farm machines
manufactured, farm tractors, harvest.

ers, wagons and so forth. A good idea
of the Mccormick and Deering plants
is conveyed in two attractive pictures.
Another series shows the various
steps in the process Of manufacturing
twine from fibre.
Piano Firm Well Represented.

srapher of the North Dakota State
Agricultural Association, has an artis-
tic booth, in dark red and brown.

fields. Mr. Holmboe made the Bum
