 You are entitled to a place among real housemothers and of the bravest stamp The telling LIS that three of you live and are well upon a dollar per day may not sound as fine as the story of the "expert" who claims to have fed a family of four for months at time upon an average ex- penditure of AS cents per diem, but you have proved the truth of your tale. and it is less discouraging to hard worked wives like the member who stigma tized the report of the 4s-cent woman as lin human, inasmuch 1t leads husbands to find fault with wives who cannot be as economical I must make room for your letter by some means. It is full of interest at this time and should turn the attention of hall bedroomers'' to the possibility of better things.

Casselton was in for a bad fire, but
both fire engines were put to work
and prevented the spread Of the
flames to the other section of the
building although there was a high
wind blowing at the time.

NORTH DAKOTANS
WELL SATISFIED
TO RETURN Home
Comparison Shows the Many
Advantages of Our State
Returns on Our Farms
Ate Sure and Safe.

San Francisco. March 20.-The
North Dakota building at the Panama
Pacific international exposition was
the second state building to be CON-
pleted on the grounds, and was the
first state building on the grounds to
have it's exhibits in place ready for the
opening day. This fact has brought a
great deal of publicity to North Dako-
ia. The further fact that North Da-
kota is the only corn state in the
union that has corn display in it's
building at the exposition is working
wonders in the matter of interesting
people in the state.
Another interesting feature of the
exposition at San Francisco is the
large number Of people from North
Dakota who are visiting the exposition
that had intended locating somewhere
on the coast, but who are going back
to good old North Dakota with the de-
termination of spending their remain
ing days upon the rolling prairies in
stead of paying large prices for infer
Tor land. One man in particular that
could be cited, came to the coast with
the idea of buying land and making his
future home out here. After he had
investigated conditions at every angle.
he went back to North Dakota, to in
vest his money where the land would
bring a sure and safe return for the
investment.
Upwards of 30 North Dakotans are
Registered daily at the North Dakota
building, and after seeding it is ex-
pected that the number will increase
wonderfully.
At the dedicatory exercises of the
North Dakota building, on Tuesday Of
this week, Hon. Burke Corbett, foruS-
erly of Grand Forks, made the prineis
pal address.
North Dakota day is June 81, instead
Of May q. A mistake was made in
making the earlier announcement of
this event. The governor will be at
the North Dakota building on June q,
and will take an active part in the fes-
tivities Of the day.
