To Whom This Comes, Greeting:
f The pioneer days Of every cline are
hallowed by sacred history.
The courageous efforts, the patriotic
impulses, the privations endured, the
grand achievements of the sturdy men
and women who hew the pathways of
civilization should not be forgotten in
the surging maelstrom of life. The
present and unborn generations owe q
debt of gratitude to the noble men and
women who by heroic efforts have
opened up this agricultural paradise
OF the North Star state. Therefore
let US meet with them and hear them
DISCUSS the experiences of pioneer life.
Let US listen to the tales of primitive
hardships and enjoyments. The pio-
neer settlers of this section of Mime
sofa are fast joining the silent major
ity. They are passing away, but their
handiwork remains. Their memory
must be kept alive by q grateful de-
sendency. Their pioneer life is i'm
portant history. It must not perish
by their neglect to hand down, nor by
the indiferences of later generations
to accept and perpetuate it.
This is the object of our Old Set
tiers Association. Thus everyone ia
interested; the old to teach and the
young to learn. So come one and all
to the beautiful shore of Green Lake on
June II, and help to celebrate our fifth
anniversary. Come with the intention
to join If you have resided in the
county thirty years or longer. Come
with your wife and the babies, and be
sure to come with well-filled provi-
sion basket for the picnic dinner.
Come to hear the patriotic speeches of
able men and women on germane top
les. Come and show your interest in
the now gray-bearded men and white
haired women whom we honor. Come
and have good time and for onca
throw off the cares of daily life and be
happy in the society of those who
turned wilderness inhabited by saw
ages into q garden spot, the home of q
happy and Christian people.
Respectfully Yours,
HENRY FE1G, Secretary.

IN BAD CONDITION.

from the Big Ditch. The dumping Of gar
