served, and this far-famed hosiery
more than sustained it's reputation"
This was the first outing of the
Seventh district editors, and it is
certainly difficult to see how it could
have been made more thoroughly en-
joyable."
GRANITE FALLS
The Granite Falls Journal publish
es column and a half report of the
event. Editor Bennett says:
ut will be remembered by those
who participated in it's enjoyments
as one Of the pleasant times in their
lives"
In regard to the State Hospital he
says:
1--WE know that there was much
criticism over the purchasing OF the
old Willmar farm for the purpose of
turning it into what people have baen
pleased to call the "Jag Farm" but
if the reader should go to Willmar
and go out and see what a magnifi-
cent institution they are going to
have there, and realize the good
that can come from it they will no
longer scoc. All the buildings are
being erected in the most substan-
tial style, and are artistically beauti-
full. The buildings are of brick COW
cred with stucco Of a yellow tint.
The location is most slightly one on
the bank of Foot Lake."
DAWSON
Theodore Christensen of the Daw-
son Sentinel devotes generous
amount Of space telling of the good
time he enjoyed. Of the Willmar
banquet he says:
''The dinner was fit for kings, and
the program of toasts which followed
was of the kind one would expect
whenever Mike Bowling Of Olivia and
Gunnar Bjornson Of Minneota are
given unlimited liberty to talk"
Of the state road, Mr.. Christian
son says:
ut is said to be the finest auto
mobile road in the state. Kandiyohi
county and the city Of Wilmar de-
serve unstinted praise for this job
of road building."
Of the Interlachen banquet, he
says: "Those who have not enjoyed a
meal at Larson's have missed a good
thing"
Finally, "Willmar and Green Lake
are a most excellent place for a
gathering Of this kind. The scenery
is fine and the hospitality Of the peo-
pie splendid"
MILAN
Andrew Bromstad, Of the Milan
Standard says: "The party enjoyed
such a delightful time and met with
such wholesouled and generous hos
pitality that no acknowledg cement
thereof in words could be made too
strong" Mr.. Bromstad devotes near
ly three columns to the trip. His i'm
preston Of Willmar in general, he
expresses as follows: "None Of the
smaller cities Of the state is more
beautifully situated than Willmar.
The natural beauty Of the surround
ings is greatly augmented by we'll
kept lawns and a profusion Of orna-
mental flowers. Add to this the alb
sence of the grog shop, and one can
not help but receive a favorable i'm
preston relative to civic and moral
virtues Of the people Of Willmar. 1t
must be an ideal place to live in.
Among the many public buildings in
the city the post Office deserves spec
ial mention. It is a model institution
and contains every facility for hand
ling the postal business in an efficient
manner It has also reading room
and bath rooms for railway mail
clerks and the rural mail carriers,
showing how thoughtful and consid-
crate Uncle Sam is towards his en-
ployees."
REDWOOD FALLS
WilEmar proved it's ability to en-
tertain when the editors of the Sew
enth district gathered there last Fri
day.
About fifty IF the scribes and their
wives we're present in spite of the
weather which was bad all day Fri
day and doubtless hept a good many
away who had planned on going III
autos.
