It - The Exposition Exhibit Hall While farmers throughout the west are preparing samples of their products for display at the International Dry Farming Ex- position which will be held at Billings, Montana, October 25-29 in connection with the Fourth Dry Farming Congress, the Montana board of control is rushing work on the exhibit ball where the re- sults of dry farming operations will .be exhibited in ocular de monstnttion of the success of in- telligent application of scientific principles in practical agrienIture. For the main division of the ex- position, the local committee has secured the wool warehouse, one of the largest buildings in Billings. The building 18 60 by 160 feet and is located along the railroad tracks in tbe center of the city. Its barn - like interior is being transformed from the unaesthetic crudities of sirareliouse architecture into an at- tractive exposition hall by force of carpenters and decorators. Two high partitions will divide the room into three compartments. or large aisles with a total of 92,000 square feet of wall space. At the base of each partition and around the walls of the entire building, shelves are being built, which will give nearly 4000 square feet of space, making a total, of approximately 96,000 square feet of available exhibit space. The grains and grasses and other products which are to be displayed in bundles or sheafs, will be dis- played on the walls and threshed grains, root'', fruits and vegetables will be shown on the shelves. A (slue ceiling is being gNIt in four- teen feet from the floor and de- corated with bunting and flags. The walls will have a bockground of black cloth. When the exhi- bits are in place, the gold and green of grains and grasses out- lined against the black background and the red, white and blue of the national colors upon the ceiling and about the walls, will make a picture of striking artistic effect- iveness. The floor space will be divided Into 20 -foot squares and above the center of each square will be an arc light. These 24 arc lights, supplement- ed with numerous smaller incan- descent letups will make the ex- position hall a scene of brilliancy in the evenings. One track has been ordered vac- ated by the railroad and two large platforms extending the length of the warehouse, will he available for exhibits of machinery. Arc lights will be hung over those platforms and across the tracks and along the streets for several blocks lights will be placed so as to make this portion of the town a veritable city of lights during the exposition. A great arch is being built across the Montana avenue en- trance to twentysixth street. on which is located the Orpheum block in which the Congress has its headquarters. This arch will be illuminated with electric lights and decorated with the national colors. The decoration committee is working out an elaborate light- ing scheme which will cover the entire business district of the city Exhibits are already beginning to arrive at Billings for the coming exposition and are all being placed in the exposition hall. While exhibit committee is receiving surance from a number of the SS - the western states and foreign coun- tries that Billings, it is believed that there will be ample space for all. altho' the committee urges that space reservations be made without de- lay. Reserve space is being pro- vided in case the warehouse and adjacent platforms should prove inadequate. Practically every agricultural county of the state will be rep- resented in tne Montana exlubit. Wyoming, Colorado, Texas, Utah, Idaho, eastern Washington and eastern Oregon have pledged large exhibits and Alberta and Saskatchewan, of the Canadian northwest, will send large displays. Other western states and foreign countries will have smaller exhibits. Enough has been learn- ed of the probable extent of the coming exposition to make it cer- tain that this will be the greatest demonstration of the success of dry farming that has over been shown. A feature of the exposition which will prove interesting will be the division of farm machinery. Implement manufacturers all over the country. especially those who make implements particularly adapted to dry farming, are keen- ly interested in the Congress and will have their wares on exhibi- tion at Billings. Demonstrations of the usefulness of the imple- ments will be made during the Congress. Two of the silver cups that will be awarded during the exposition have been received and are on ex- hibition in Billings. One is offer- ed by the Billings Chamber of Commerce for the beet display of grasses and cultivated forage crops, open to the world. The other is a cut) given by W. B. George, of Billings, for the largest delegation from any commercial body, town, county, state or nation, attending and registering in a body at the Fourth Dry Farming Congress. Montana is barred from competition for this cup. These are both magnificent silver trophies, valued at $150.00 each. As soon as other cups which have been pledged for the exposition arrive, a special ex- hibit of trophy cups will be made at Billings, prior to the opening to the Congress. The Wonderful Wireless Did you read that article of the wreck of the Ohio up on the Alaskan coast and how the oper- ator of the wireless on the ship re- mained at his post and tired the story of the catastrophe and call- ed for help, until the sea engulfed him with the ship? A true soul his and grand. He had a duty to perform and though death was al- ready sitting in the shrouds wait- ing, he heeded nothing but that duty until, it being performed, he went grandly down to death. That name of Eccles should be embossed high up among the im- mortals. No death on the battle field was ever so glorious as his. No hero ever won fairer laurels. And then the wonder of that wire- less. It carried one of the mess- ages to a far inland state, nearly four thousand miles away and startled the sleepy operator with a call for help. When the uien were impatient of the narrow limits within which poor humanity was circumscribed.

The message from the man who eat not a moment re- moved from the death that lay in waiting, was vital enough to com- pass almost four thousand miles of space and sound its warning to one who, perhaps had never seen the sea. If four thousand miles away why not ten thousand times four thousand. Hear, ye planets, and far off stars take notice! Man, who is but R weak crea ture at best ii calling to you; calling, asking you to respond, asking you to give up your mysteries. They will answer bye and bye.

Mary had a little farm, It baked dry and brown. She thought she'd trade it off, And get a place in town. Then came a Campbell. WINO, And told her what to do, She took his advice. And got his ideas, too. Then she tilled her farm On the scientific plan And grew crops of wheat As big as any man. Her neighbors said it was a fake, But Mary acted sane, And continued to grow Enormous crops of grain. Now if you, weary Farmer. Will resist drouth's dusty ban, Till your farm as Mary did— On the scientific plan. 0011 \Campbell's Scientific Farmer,\ monthly, and \Cmpbell's 1905 Soil Culture Manual\ --a book of 95 pages --tell all about Campbell Methods and Scientific Soil Culture.
