dition to those really needing atten-
ton, there are a number of visitors,

Visitors to the woman's department
in the Liberal Arts building have dis
covered that there is an embryo poet
in hiding in this department. Evil
dence is found at the fruit exhibit, the
miniature size of which has provided
the poet with an inspiration. Usually
there is a fairly good sized exhibit Of
fresh, home grown fruit, but the ef-
fects of the late frost which visited
Grand Forks county this season are
plainly shown in the very small ex-
hibit which has been placed this year.
In explanation of this, the manager Of
the department. has placed with the
few jars and boxes of fruit, a clever
little poem, which tells very concise
ly, the reason for the small exhibit.
Ono of the busiest booths at the fair
is that Of the Roat Paint shop. They
have been making practically all of
the many signs used and are on the
Jump from early in the morning until
late at night.
