The regiment was organized espe-

Grand Army that would be representa-

carding Of the usual military parade,
because of the absence Of the regulars
stationed at Fort Smelling, was some
thing of a disappointment, but the

at the state fair in order that they

SUNSHINE AT FOREST LAKE.

The following clipping from the
Forest Lake Enterprise voices the senti-
ment the people of that city entertain
toward the good work going on in the
Mary Davis Sunshine lodge. Mr.. Will
son, the editor Of the paper, is one
of Sunshine IS warmest friends, and he
has given the many pleasant sails in
his boat. After announcing the open
ing and the cottages and commenting
on various forms of charity work.. the
article says:
"The theology of 'Sunshine" is an
ideal practice to us, and it seems to hit
us where we live. When we called at
the cottages, met the ladies who are
devoting their time to this labor, and
whose only remuneration are the salts
fed hearts and consciences they possess,
much truer was this in the brotherly
love preached by the homeless Naza-
rene, than that examplifed by those
who pay princly sums to build mag
nifcent churches and pay high-priced
speakers to expound this doctrine to

While the parade is ordered to start
at 10 o'clock, it will be certain to be
more than an hour later before the
Minneapolis division will get into line,
so the cadets need not assemble at the
grounds Of the Kelley Institute, Tenth
street and Seventh avenue S, until 1920

parade will be obviated. This location
will also be a good one to enable the
cadets to see the portion Of the parade
