Your spark plugs will keep cleaner if you use 

 a straight-distilled, refinery gasoline. 

 A mixed or imperfectly refined gasoline breaks 

 up and deposits carbon instead of exploding com- 

 pletely.

Northwest Land Products Exposition, Seattle 



To ;is,sist in the agricultural and 

 horticultural (levelopnient of Wash- 

 ington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska 

 and British Columbia, the Northwest 

 Land Products Exposition, to he staged 

 at the Arena in Seattle from October 4 

 to 14, will be the first exhibition of the 

 kind in Washington. Already the en- 

 terprise has the official endorsement of 

 the commercial bodies, not only of 

 Seattle but over the states to be repre- 

 sented, and the great railways serving 

 the Northwest recognize the exposition 

 as a most helpful adjunct in the ex- 

 ploitation of the land with a view to 

 encouraging homeseekers and will have 

 a prominent place in the big under- 

 taking. 



In the great national and interna- 

 tional expositions held in the United 

 States, as well as the shows in foreign 



lands, soil products have always re- 

 ceived attention. This interest in- 

 creased until the so-called land show 

 became a fact. Land shows in the 

 ColLseum in 1912, 1913 and 1914 at- 

 tracted capacity crowds in the great 

 Coliseum afternoon and night. The 

 railroads presented magnificent dis- 

 plays and many states of the Union 

 were represented by displays of fruits, 

 grains, grasses and vegetables. The 

 shows at St. Paul and Minneapolis, 

 where the exhibit was staged under the 

 authority of the seven states of the 

 Northwest, closed with record crowds 

 for attendance while the show was in 

 progress. "It's the Lure of the Land," 

 was the editorial comment of a great 

 Chicago daily newspaper in explaining 

 the presence of thousands of people 

 daily to view soil products. 



So at Seattle for eleven days every 

 state, county and community in the 

 Northwest will have an opportunity to 

 have an active part in the eleven-day 

 land school. The State Agricultural 

 College at Pullman will be well repre- 

 sented, schools and colleges will have 

 attractive exhibits, the States of Mon- 

 tana, Oregon and Idaho as well British 

 Columbia will be represented by dis- 

 plays to show the nature of the forage 

 and cereal crops produced on their 

 lands. 



From Alaska will come an agricul- 

 tural display far greater than the ex- 

 hibit at the A.-Y.-P. Exposition, for the 

 northern country is now becoming 

 widely known for the grains and 

 grasses grown there, and the agricul- 

 ture features of Alaska are now being 

 exploited along with its marvelous pro- 

 duction of minerals. This exhibit will 

 be collected and arranged under the 

 au.spices of the Alaska Bureau of the 

 Seattle Chamber of Commerce. 



Dairy Day will be one of the features 

 of the Exposition period and the dis- 

 play of butter, cheese and similar 

 products will be complete in every 

 detail. This will require the building 

 of a special cold-storage system to pre- 

 serve the exhibits. Cooking and can- 

 ning contests will be oflfered as an at- 

 traction as will lectures by men who 

 have devoted years of study to agricul- 

 tural and horticultural possibilities in 

 the Northwest. 



The Manufacturers' and Land Prod- 

 ucts Show at Portland the last two 

 years demonstrated that an exhibition 

 of this character did more to acquaint 

 people with the opportunities await- 

 ing them in the districts away from the 

 cities than countless pamphlets on the 

 subject. Practically every county in 

 Oregon had a display at the 191,5 land 

 show and all received vast benefits in 

 the way of reaching men and women 

 giving serious thought to moving from 

 the city to the country. 



With the advent of machinery on the 

 farm the burden of the man who tills 

 the ground has been lightened to a 

 great extent. One section of the Ex- 

 position will be set aside for exhibits 



PREPAREDNESS 



FOR YOUR HOME 



is important too. A good Airedale means pre- 

 paredness against two and four legged animals— 

 and the best pal ever. Get that child a LADDIX 

 BRED Airedale and feel SAFE.
