Planned and handled. It is q fact that

national, has it's outings so systematized
as are Minnesota's; and to the executive
committee be the credit given. The pre-
hminary notices fully outlining the trip
all editors in the state receive. Those
who decide to so make an advance de-
pos1t and on reaching St. Paul find the
committee ready. They then pay the
entire actual expense of the trip less

Motel bills. dinners. lunches, carriage
drives and side excursions; the badges
which often mean street car rides or
theater tickets and to which is attached
their names; the itinerary, giving in de-
tail the trip with days, date, hours Of
trains and other information, and even
tags for the baggage to secure it's safe
delivery to and from hotels. The minut-
est information is given and then the
members of the committee follow this
with their personal, omniscent attention
From time to time announcements Of each
days program, or any change, is made in
the cars and at hotels. The committee
are there on all occasions to see that no
one makes a mistake and that all are
cared for, that all are seated for meals,
are arranged in carriages for drives, and
they are the last to eat, to sleep or to see,
ana the first to awake in the mornings
OFTEN they miss many sights of the trip
to interview railway officials, hotel keep
ers, street car magnates or local COM
mlttees to perfect arrangements for our
pleasure and comfort. All the excursion
lists have to do Is to go, see, learn and
enjoy. All honor and thanks to the COM
mittee for more than half the pleasure
of the trip is due to their care, thought
fitness and tact.
The committee, among others, also wish
to extend the associations thanks to Col.
r. c. Clowry, of Chicago, western mana
ger of the Western Union Telegraph
Company. and Mr.. I. McMichael, of Min
neapolis, the Northwestern superintend-
ent Of that company, for courtesies ex-
tended.
