Cheese In the Middle Aces.

agreed by the governors and bench
ers this term that If any one Of the So

COMMERCIAL CLUBS WILL
UNITE BOOSTING STATE
Enthusiastic Meeting Of Federation of
Commercial Clubs Will Result in
Much Good.

Advertise Minnesota; everybody
boost" was the slogan adopted by
the Minnesota Federation of Com
mercial clubs at the ann ual meeting
of the federation, which was held at
St. Paul the latter part of last week.
The meeting was attended by
delegates from about every CONNER
cial organization in the state, and
among the TEST, F. S. Lycan and A.
P. White represented the Bemidji
Commercial Club. There was much
enthusiasm manifested at the meeting;
and it was the unanimous sentiment
that the legislature should appropri-
ate the requested 100000 with
which to properly exploit Minnesota
and her vast and varied resources.
The addresses delivered at the
meeting were very instructive and
timely, and the meeting will result
in a more united effort for Minnesota
as against Canada or any community
in the United States as being the
most desirable point for the home of
the farmer, the dairyman, the bust
ness man or the searcher for a
healthful cline in which to recover
wonted robustfulness.
Probably the most enlightening
talk of the session was made by
George WEIGH, state immigration
bureau commissioner, on THE
Settlement of Minnesota's Unoccu-
pied Farm Lands and the Opportuni-
ties the State Offers to the Settler"
To further extent than any of
the other speakers, Mr.. WEIGH laid
open the absolute necessity of adver-
Using the state. Daily, he said, he
received inquiries regarding Mime
sofa lands and for lack of an organ
lied body, which the federation will
now aim to take place, he has
been unable to give information
without invoking the jealous of
some neighboring county.
1t was decided to present resolu-
tions to the legislature asking for the
appropriation of 100000, and F. S.
Lycan was made member of the
committee appointed to draft the
resolutions, along with Nye of Min
neapolis, Eva of Duluth, Murphy of
Wheaton, Brye of Rochester, Phillips
of Lake City, Coult of Fairmont,
Amundson of St. Peter and Mitchell
of St. Paul.
The sentiment of many of the
speeches was to authorize the send
ing out of teachers who could
educate, by practical illustration, to
the farmers of the state Especially
the north half) in the proper manner
in which to till their soil, so that
Minnesota lands will indeed become
the right kind of pay dirt"
c. J. Pryor, manager of the Be-
midi Pioneer and secretary of the
Bemidji Commercial club, was re-
elected as the Ninth district member
of the executive committee of the
federation.
