II is a fact that can be proved from
the ex periepee of the most prominent
poultrymen in the country, that green
cut bone is the greatest egg producing
food in the world. 1t is a food that
cannot be omitted from the diet to
have the best results obtained both in
breeding and egg production. While
the most prominent poultrymen know
this to be fact there are thousands
upon thousands OF our readers who are
still ignorant on the subject. II they

quantities, all such persons would
soon be convinced OF the truth OF our

People of minneapolis.
The National Editorial association will
spend July 81 in Minneapolis, and ar
rangements are under way for a well
come and a programme of entertainment.
2. " Collins, of Minneapolis, is with the
association a Portland, where 1t is hold
ing its annual meeting, and has used
his time to good advantage in booming
the glories of Minneapolis. In a letter
to Secretary Forbes, of the board of
trade, he spoke of the desire of the edi-
tors to stop in Minneapolis en- route home
and suggested ways and means of MAX
ing their stay here memorable.
Today the entertainment committee of
the Commercial club got together and
authorized Secretary Forbes to telegraph
Mr. Collins at once, formally inviting the
association to stop over a day as the
guests of Minneapolis. President Phelps
indorsed the scheme.
The intinerary of the association allows
for its arrival in Minneapolis on the
morning of July q. Plans have been dis
cussed only informally, but it is proba-
BILE that the scheme of entertainment
will include breakfast at the West a trip
through the sawmills and flour mills,
then trolley ride to Minnehaha, and
finally picnic lunch, with the proper ac-
cessories, at Lake Harriet. The visitors
will probably be turned over to ST. Paul
for supper, and in the evening they will
continue on to Chicago.
Mr.. Collins writes that there will be
about 400 in the Minneapolis party.
