Also, note our agricultural and
dairy products. We raise grain te
feed the world, and our mammoth
mills grind it into the best -four
ever made. Minnesota flour finds
its way into Europe yes, the moth.
ers Of Palestine are even now
making king bread from Minneapolis
Hour Recently the tillers of our
soil began to diversity their farm
ing, and now we have turned our
attention tosdairy interests. What
is the result? Our butter has taken
a premium 'ta at every exposition for
years. Last year alone the value
OF our dairy products amounted to
more than $4,000, 900. So great
have we become in these respects
that we have changed our
name from the Gopher State" to
the great Bread and Butter State
Of the Union" -
But, more than all, this Mime
sofa, IN recent years, has taken the
lead in educational matters. Be-
sides her common schools and high
schools, she has state educational in
stltutlons ranging from the School
for Detectives, at Faribault to the
State University at Minneapolis,
which, under the leadership of our
Incompatible President, Cyrus Nor
throp, has grown more rapidly than
that OF any other state in the Union
during the last ten years. There
are no better public schools, high
schools or normal schools in this ma
tion than are to be found here today.
Those who have been makers of
Minnesota have remembered: D..
The riches of the commonwealth are free,
Strong minds and hearts of health,
But more to her than gold or grain
It's the cunning hand and cultured brain.
Minnesota is yet in her infancy.
She has yet millions of acres of wild
and vacant land, and as we look
upon her rich. fields Of golden grain,
her majestic rests, her great
stone quarries, her rich min
eral resources, her great cities,
her thumming mills and fac
tories, her splendid educational svs:
tenn with $15, 100000 in the school
fund, her Vulnerable high schools,
her innumerable high school grad
uates, her beautiful lakes, teeming
with fish and game, affording pleas
ure resorts for all classes, her rug.

dinavian countries, Germany, Eng
land, France and Ireland. Yes, as
we look upon all these things we may
believe more in the future possibil
tiles of our state than the most san
guine real estate man dares tc
claim.
From our hearts in sweet content, under skie
in beauty bent,
OF our good North Star we're singing glad ant

And our music swells along on the breezes

CHORUS:
Hail. all hail, to Minnesota!
Star of Patriots proud and free!
With thy wealth of wheat and pine.
Cities great and iron mine.
Limpid lakes and rivers running to the sea
