A MODERN TRAVELING AGRICULTURAL DISPLAY PRACTICALLY ready to start on its ten thousand mile tour, resplendent in fresh varnish and polished brass, the Northern Pacific's Northwest exhibit car is "chock full" of evidence of the produc- tivity and varied resources of the states along its lines: Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana. Idaho, Oregon and Washington. It is not at all a new plan to start out such a car, for the Northern Pacific sev- eral years ago equipped a similar car, which was on exhibition at the World's Fair in Chicago. This car afterwards made numerous tours, advertising the Northwest.

A great many of the exhibits in the car were secured from the Minnesota, North Dakota and ]\Iontana State Fairs, from the Dry Farming Congress recently held at Spokane, and from numerous county fairs held last fall in Washington and other state. By this method the North- ern Pacific has secured a representative display from all these states such as has never before been assembled. The itinerary of the car is being care- full
