A Good Suggestion
The Secretary of the North Dakota
Commission stationed at the North
Dakota building at the San Francisco
Exposition is always open to sugges-
tons, and the following letter from a
North Dakota lady contained a lot of
real meat. 1t read as follows:
81 note in today's Lansford Journal
that North Dakota is to have a cream
cry exhibit at the Pa~namaAPacific eX-
positio May | suggest that North
Dakota have a wheat -four day, and
serve. hot rolls and creamery butter?
In my estimation, North Dakota can't
be beat in wheat -four. and in serving
hot rolls or light bread would be a
grand advertisement for both -four
and butter in North Dakota.
Yours very truly,
MRS, H. w. 'HEL1MING.
The secretary is only awaiting the
opportunity to turn his best talents
loose in conducting such a day here
