Armory today much better and larg-
err even than year ago. There are

anything that can be grown any
where can be successfully raised in
the fertile soil of northwestern North
Dakota if given proper care and at
tention.

we'll matured.
The Burlington exhibit is marvellous
and includes pretty nearly everything
under the sun that can be grown. A
large booth has been decorated beau
tifully, with the word Burlington
formed out of potatoes. More po,,
tatoes and livestock bring prosperity
is a large sign displayed over the
booth. The Burlington booth is sup

The various grains in the straw

IS in charge Of an enthusiastic, Bur

in unison to make the Burlington COM
munity one of the most prosperous
districts in the state. A huge chunk
of Ignite coal, taken from Burling
ton mine, and weighing 1000 pounds
is exhibited at the booth. The Bur
lington mines produce 100000 tons
Of coal annually and the mine pay
roll amounts to $25O,0OO.00 year.
The Burlington boosters distribut'
ed thousands Of circulars giving some
interesting facts about their commun
ity. AS will be noticed by reading
the list Of premiums, Burlington came
in for its full share Of winnings.
1t was disappointment that Berth
old and Foxholm were missing from

planned on bringing in some fine com
munity exhibits.
