WELCOME THE FIREMEN.

The Free Press, in common with
every citizen of Mankato, extends TO
the visiting firemen most hearty
welcome to the metropolis of southern
Minnesota. May their stay with us
be made as pleasant as it will be
profitable The city should be placed
in their hands. 1t will be well cared
for.
The firefghters are here for a day
or two and they will mix business
with pleasure. The former will take
up much of their time during the day,
but the evenings will be devoted to
recreation which will serve as a re-
taxation from the duties assigned them
in the convention
Minnesota fremen are a brave lot
of men, who do not get ''cOld feet
when they are summoned to perform
the service for which they organized
Many of them respond to the call to
duty with no hope of financial reward,
much less the praise of the public.
Their labors are of a hazardous char
acter, but like the soldiers who face
shot and shell fearlessly, they meet
the dangers which confront them with.
out displaying the white feather
SO let the fire ladies enjoy their
brief respite from tasks that are any
thing but enjoyable. They are enti-
tied to the best there is" and lots of
it. Our welcome guests will find Man.
kato a most hospital city, and its
citizens have a way of treating visi
tors that makes them all feel like
marching upon Mankato again.
The Minnesota State Firemens' as
ISOLATION is a creditable organization
and its management has been excel
lent. It's history dates back many
years; and it growth has been CO.
incident with that of the state. It's
aim is to secure just and proper legis
lation for its membership; also the
adoption of laws that mean the pro-
lection of the people against that great
charity-fire. In both instances the
association has accomplished a great
deal.

STICK CLOSE TO THE FACTS
An Eagle Lake Booster Would Not
Indulge in Hot Air.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
One of Eagle Lakes highly esteemed
citizens writes The Free Press as fol-
lows:
"Some time ago I read an item in
your paper in regard to Eagle Lake,
stating that we had fleet of fifteen
boats and gasoline launch on the
lake; and in last nights paper l read
another item which stated that Eagle
Lake would celebrate on the q also
that we already had purse of $50 up
for the automobile race
"Now the fact is the articles above
are gross misrepresentation of the
facts. Although we have about ten
row boats on the village end of the
lake they are all owned by individuals
and as the fishing on the lakes is fully
as good as on any of the other lakes
in this vicinity, it is almost impossible
to get boat unless you make arrange
ments ahead with some of the boat
owners. But as to the launch, that is
all imaginary. And there has been
some talk in regard to getting up a
celebration for, the Fourth of July,
but nothing definite has been done as
yet. AS it is getting so near July
4 the chances are that we will 90 to
some other place to do our celebrating
this year.
81 do not know who furnished the
information for those articles, but it
certainly could not have been bust
ness man for they all realize that it
does not pay to advertise unless you
can deliver the goods.
Hoping to see, something in your
|papev to correct matters in regard to
our village / am An Eagle Lake
Booster, But Sticks to Facts"
In other words the Eagle Lake man
lis Missouri.
The Free Press secured its informa-
tion from what was considered a re-
liable source.
