f JIt was not at all queer that the young chap, or the confident, well dressed gentleman
We sell of the 17th or 18th century felt a combination of pride and satisfaction in his new suit, made
by his rustic tailor, when he could sit by the fireside in the dusk, courting the young, rosy cheeked
g& M ark maiden, carding and spinning the wool, or watch her dainty hands dexterously operating the loom
li 4 rKS that brought forth the bewitching material that was to constitute his raiment. Show me the young
man, I dare say elder, too, whose heart would not dilate at such a chance.
OYou might well be satisfied with the material, but you wouldn't put up with that style of
makeup. Correct style is of pre-eminent importance to every man.
You had better look through your wardrobe to see what you need in Suits or Overcoats

St n & Long iey for fall or winter, and if you find you are shy a Coat or Suit, you ought to prepare to supply
your wants early. We like to show you our line, and if we haven't got the thing you like, let
us have it made to your measure according to your individual taste, and amount of money you feel
sa. like putting into it. We can have Suits made to your measure to satisfy anybody's fancy at prices
ranging from $17.50 to $40.00 The $17.50 Suit will receive the same consideration and careful

and the study of the subject in the
primary or intermediate schools in
agricultural districts.
A free and open discussion of pro
posed or already-existing legislation
favorable to the further develop
ment of the dry lands of the world,
and legislation looking to increased
appropriations from State and Fed
eral governments for the establish
ing of an adequate number of de
monstration farms and experiment
stations; the employment of a suffic
ient number of field or station ex
perts to carry on experimental work
and the publication of official re
ports of this field work in a form de
signed to keep actual farmers con
tinually posted as to the progress
made in official demonstrations.
For assembling together the
world's expert agriculturists to dis
cuss and establish more thoroughly
the methods by which the now-un
occupied agricultural acreage may
be made to produce profit-bearing
commercial crops by the use of
thorough tillage, adaptation of crop
to soil and climate, etc.
For conducting an "Open Forum"
for farmers to bring before the
Congress their experiences and
problems in dry land farming.
For the completion of plans for a
great world co-operative movement
by which Nations and States may
join in this remarkable agricultural
uplift.
The Program
The plan of the Board of Gover
nors to open the Congress Monday
evening, October 3, will no doubt
meet with favor among intending
delegates and members. Several of
the most notable and interesting
features of the program will be giv
en that evening, such as the Address
of Welcome by the Governor of
Washington, greetings from the
various Nations and States and ad
dresses by some of the most disting
uished men of America who have
been invited to take part in this
Congress. Every delegate should so
plan his arrival in Spokane as to be
present.at the hour of opening.
This will be strictly an Agricultu
ral Congress. Live issues directly
pertaining to the development of
dry lands will be discussed from
platform and floor. The Program
will probably be one of the most
brilliant and thoroughly practical
ever presented at an. agricultural
convention.
The Agricultural Colleges in the
western section of the United States
and the Agricultural Colleges of
many of the International Sections
of the Congress will be represented
by experts in special lires of work.
The federal governments of many
lands will be represented in the list
of Speakers, and all Governors of
Western States have been asked to
be present or send personal repre
sentatives to discuss development of
states under dry farming.
The practical features of the pro
gram will be given special promi
nence and several hours of open
time will be devoted to talks, both
formal and informal, by actual farm
operators. There will also be a
number of Institute Sessions held in
the same building in which the gen
eral program is being carried out.
The Institute sessions will be in
charge of noted dry farming spec
ialists.

miles of splendidly equipped electric
interurban lines will carry visitors
through a farming territory which
is already the wonder of the world.
Electric trains run frequently to
the famous Coeur d'Alene Lake,
which rivals in scenic beauty the
more noted resorts of Europe, and
to a half dozen other beautiful
resort lakes. A one-night ride over
the Northern Pacific, Great North

STATE TO HAVE
A BIG FAIR
Special Attractions in Many Departments Will
Tend to Swell the Big Crowds.
Helena, Mont., Aug. 15.--Practi
cally everything is in readiness for
the Eighth Montana State Fair to be
held in this city September 26 to Oct
ober 1, inclusive, and it is no exag
geration to state that in every res
pect it will be greater and grander
than ever. Not only have the
grounds been enlarged and beauti
fied, but several new buildings have
been erected so that every depart
ment will have ample display room
for all exhibits, which has been a de
fect in the past.
This has been accomplished in
large measure by the erection of a
separate mineral building, thus per
mitting one of the chief industries
of the state the opportunity to make
proper display instead of being given
a small section of the agricultural
building. At the same time this ar
rangement will give the opportunity
for a display to advantage of all the
agricultural resources of the state,
the entire main floor of the largest
structure on the grounds being de
voted exclusively to this under the
new arrangement. Numerous other
changes have been made which will
be treated at greater length in these
columns from time to time, showing
that neither time nor effort has been
spared in making the Montana State
Fair to the Treasure state what the
Minnesota and Illinois exhibitions
are to those states. That Montana
has made a marvelous record in this
respect cannot be gainsaid and that
it has an even brighter future is
equally patent.
One of the features of the fair this
year will be the dry farming division
and it must be admitted perforce
that the showing therein, the ad
verse circumstances considered, will
prove one of the best advertisements
the state ever received, and after
all this is the desideratum of the fair
officials-to make known the resour
ces and opportunities of Montana to
the civilized world. Judging from
the applications for space and the
really glowing reports concerning
these crops, it is plainly indicated
that this division will be the cyno
sure of all eyes, for "seeing is be
lieving," and a dry farming success
this year spells absolute certainty
in periods of ordinary precipitation,
for the records show that this has
been the driest year in decades. At
any rate, the exhibits will speak for
themselves, and reports received
from intending exhibitors plainly
indicate that there will be no dis
appointment. Indeed, the pessimists
are certain to receive a severe shock
upon viewing the products of Mont
ana dry farms this year that per
force must silence all criticism in the
future.
To James J. Hill, chairman of the
board of directors of the Great
Northern Railway company, and one
of Montana's greatest dry farming
boosters, the fair management feels
itself under many obligations for
his address of last year in which he
stated in the presence of the presi
dent of the United States that the
agricultural future of Montana was
unlimited; in fact, that it was al
ready producing larger crops and of
better quality than any state itl the
union. This tribute has worked won
ders in the way of inviting new set
tlers to Montana and will doubtless
continue so to act for years to come.
Mr. Hill has gone even further,
however, and is now offering a
series of prizes for crops raised in
Montana without irrigation, the list
including red and white fall wheat,
red and white spring wheat, fall rye,
spring rye, macaroni wheat, barley,
oats, peas, beans, flax, corn, alfalfa,
timothy, brome, orchard grass and
millet seed after threshing and the
same as a forage crop and sheaf ex
hibit. He has also offered substan
tial prizes for all manner of seed
grains, vegetables and root crops,
and in order to show his marked
generosity, has included valuable
