The editors were there last week, and as they j stepped from the train, some with wifes and others with baggage; jgazed through the “welcome” arch toward the Pokegama hotel; then |looked up through the flags and punting at a cloudless sky; they lost no | time in coming to the conclusion that there was sure going to be some- |thing doing for the Northern Minnesota Editorial Association for the mext three days. Senator Dan Gunn, who brought the extra session to a close in order to be on hand, released one stubby thumb from the |arm hole of his white vest, threwaway his two-bit cigar, and extended |both hands to the city’s guests. Editor Kiley, with the vest pockets jiof his $60 suit of clothes full of symokes and a velvet finish.on his shoes, guided the boys through the evergreen arch with a wave of his hand, while Tony LaFreneire: with a new hat as pig a8 a hand press and a fresh crease in his breeches, left his ponies munching the decorations jand joined the glad hand list. Having registered at the Pokegama hotel, the “See Minnesota (Firs ” editors placed themselves at the mercy of their kind friends and jthe coughing automobiles qutside gave evidence that the entertainment | committee was already on the jobs and that the first inning of the three days outing was called. It requires no stretch of imagination to | see how well the association mem/bers were taken care of, after glanc- ing at the program as given above.. The “glad hand” covered an area of at least twenty-five square miles, and the spedometers on machines like L. M. Bolter’s and W. C. Gilbert’s registered a distance about equal ito Col. Roosevelt’s mileage book after a presidential campaign. |gratulate the newspaper fraternity of The Rapids on being privileged to let out a paper in a city that is composed of so many hospitable men |and women. & It would require a full case of wood type to do proper credit to ithe Experimental farm ginner given by Supt. and Mrs. McGuire, the j trip through the mines er the guidance of Supt. Godfrey, and the | Bovey banquet and Cohasset excursion. An elaborate menu was serv- led by Mr. and Mrs. McGuire under the pine trees on Saturday after- |noon, and while two national characters were wrestling with delegates, \the editorial members of Minnesota were partaking of T. R. onions \(extra strong), B. T. radishes (pass the salt), and editorial salad made |from prime cabbage heads. \ At the Bovey banquet the visitons were extended a cordial welcome ‘py the president of the Commercial Club. President Dare of the editor- lial asscciation responded, followed by Governor Eberhart, Attorney Gen- | eral Smith, Frank Ives of Cass Lake, Mrs. Dare, Miss Stanley of Grand |Rapids, and Editor Kiley. The attendance numbered abomt forty-five, being fully as large as | any of previous years. The outing afforded the boys of the agricul- {tural belt a fine opportunity to meet the brethern of the range and the jimpression the corn fed fellows received of the mining molders of the various towns will last longer than the mines, and they are good for fifty years at least. ORE DUST | Asa \Wallace_came in time for the dessert—Sunday morning: Grand Rapids certainly blew itself al’ day Sunday. It got out the ‘band. The Old Man Hereof and the whole family hereof of Hibbing were resent. Now, who can say it wasn’t a big outing? Stanley might have discovered Africa, but the editorial herd dis- covered Stanley. To miss the outing was to Miss Stanley. Doc Rutledge carried the secretary’s poll list where ever he went and copped off fourteen new ones for membership. Mary McFadden stayed just long enough to embrace the editors and organize a suffrage club. Then she lit out for Baltimore. There were hardly enough wives to go around, but those present fmanaged to get around pretty well: (We all claimed Mrs. Ives and the Judge stood for it» too. Editor Hitchcock and family of Hibbing were with the bunch, and all the boys were compelled to envy Hitchcock that gasoline smell he (wore. Nice machine, that. Yes, of course, the fats won the ball game; score 98 to 99. The tmost noteworthy feature of the game was the rotten playing of the leans, as might be expected. The only thing worse than that was the playing of the fats.—Walker Pilot. There’s an old saying that “it’s always good weather when good fellows get together” and so, taking this bit of wisdom for granted, and considering the excellent climatic conditions existing at the time, it is easy to see why the annual summer outing of the Northern Minnesota Editorial association held at Grand ;Rapids on June 21-22-23, was the biggest event in the 1912 editorial history of the members. Down at Chicago, the Progressives and Stand-patters in the Republican conven- tion were quarreling among themselves and fighting with each other, sizzling at the same time in the heats of anger and a hundred degree temperature. Up at Grand Rapids it was different. Prohipitionists, Democrats, Republicans and Women’s Suffrage advocates linked arms and enjoyed themselves, basking in’ the sunshine of each other’s so- ciability. Mary McFadden, the state's mos* famous and one of the nation’s strongest advocates in the movement for the enfranchisement of wo- men, attended the Friday sessions, and in the afternoon, at a mass meeting attended by the visiting editors as well as the citizens of Grand Rapids, succeeded in organizing the first “Woman’s Suffrage League” in the state. Friday evening, the guests attended a banquet in the Hotel Pokegama, and later listened to an address by Pres. George E. Vincent's gatling-gun talk on the “Mind of the Mob,” 4 psychological discussion of the psychology of every day life, proved to be one of the best lectures ever heard by a majority of the editors present. Saturday morning the annual ball game between the “Phats” and “Leans’ In the association took place. “Doc” Rutledge—and he who knows net this wonderful personage knows little of the joys of life— captained the avordupois section, and with his usual cunning and shrewd ness prevailed upon Miss Beatrice Atkinson. daughter of the North- ome Record and sister of the Hibbing Ore, to attend to the duties of ithe left fielder. The game was scheduled to go but five innings, but in the fourth with the score a 4-4 tie, and slender gents had allowed Miss Atkinson to get on bases and score through the chivalry due her sex, the esteemed Mr. Ruthledge called the game of and the “Phats” retain- ed the championship of the organization although “Doc” used “steam roller” tactics to gain his selfish -elnd. Following the ball game, the scribes autoed to the Northeast Experi- ment farm where a delicious and delightful strawberry dinner was served by Supt. and Mrs. A. J. McGuire. The dinner was 4 revelation. Cream, pure and yellow and thick, was served at every oportunity. Ice NESDAY GUARANTE We con- July 10% MR.

The trip through the mines was the most instruc- | tive and most highly enjoyed feature of the whole outing- In the even- jing the editors were guests of the citizens of Bovey at a banquet serv- | ed at the Hotel Fitger. coe | | Sunday afternoon, the entire party, which had however, been de- jeien by the return to, their homes of a number of the editors, went to Cohasset and there embarked on the tug Undine and barge for a \'trip up the Mississippi river and around the beautiful lake, Pokega- |ma. Few realized the existence of this ‘beauty, spot and fewer still re- |gretted the trip they had made. Lake Pokegama is not so very large |at any one point, yet there are 165 miles of shore line. The lake is | dotted with islands and there are many “arms” extending back into the |pine woods in every direction. It was admitted by more than one | member of the party that the people of Grand Rapids and Cohasset had | been very negligent about advertising the ideal summer resort in nor- |'therm Minnesota. | The outing ended Sunday night and the various members departed for their homes, satisfied and contented) and expressing warm con- gratulations and apreciation of the excellent vacation. Editors La- |frenierre and Kiley of Grand Rapids upon whom had devolved the re- | sponsibility for the success of the oluting, did themselves proud and the | citizens of the four towns interested could have done no more in the \way of pleasing entertainment. The trip was one that will not soom be forgotten and is one on which papers could be written.—Thief River falls Times.

The Development association further went on record as favoring the establishment of a state depart- j;ment of agriculture to be divided in- ‘to departments or bureaus, such de- partments to be placed on a_sstrict civil service basis, and wilh also urge the legislature to enact a law providing that the board of county commissioners of the various coun- ties throughout the state be au- thorized to appropriate from the general revenue fund a sum not to exceed $500 to be used in county ‘development work, so that the work (which has been largely carried on ‘by public-spirited business men in the different counties may be paid for by the citizens of the counties, who share impartially in the bene A. severely condemns the activities | sits resulting from the efforts of the a ew. ‘business methods of the association members dealing in farm lands, to the end that irresponsible land ag- ents or firms will not benefit by the influence of the aseociation, will not be imvited to membership, nor any present member be retained on the roll if his business activities conflict with the object of the N.
