specimens Of our soil and grain could be shown. Our
Pre- emption and Homestead Exemption Laws could be

Of these lands, and by having copies If these European
newspapers forwarded to Minnesots, the people Of our
State would know how the lectures we're received, and
be able to judge how the lecturers were doirg their

best agents. They would require to be enthusiastic ad.
