refreshments.
Inc addresses were uniformly of a high
order, and modestly proclaimed the
slories of Minnesota, it's wealth, re-
sources, prosperity and Importance in the
economy of our country. The state ex-

president; John Morton, vice president,
and III. Z. Hall, secretary, deserve the ut
most credit for arrangements, and the
Editorial association certainly carried
them out in a manner to not only do
honor to the state but to bring it great
prominence and advantage.
When the great throng returned to the
Minnesota building for refreshments it
looked as If the miracle of the loaves
and fishes would have to be repeated,
but the board of managers proved ade-
quate to the occasion, and all were am
