Day should be made an event to
which all classes of people will
look forward to. We cannot help
but recognize the fact that the fu.

country is wrapped up in its agri-

Clam Bake at Half Moon Lake q
Pronounced Success, Fully Two
Hundred Enjoying the Outing and
Feast.

The big clam bake at Half Moon
Lake on Sunday last, under the
auspices Of the Virginia Boosters
Club, drew good crowd despite the
threatening weather, and II you
don't believe attendants had a good
time just ask any of them about it.
Walter Dewitt was chef Of the
occasion, and the spread was one to
be remembered for many a day, the
menu including celery, green on
ions, radishes, soft shell Holsters,
Irish potatoes and bluef1sh, sweet
corn on the cob, yams and chicken,
and last, but not least, clans
plenty for all; even Milt Mouser of
Gilbert was filed before the day was
over. And each and every one gave
attest to the abilities Of Chef De-
Witt in preparing the succulent
clam and the other good things that
went with it.
In the party were to be found
boosters from every point on the
range, from Hibbing to Biwabik, and
the success of the event has made
the idea of second bake this year
more than probability, while at
any rate it will insure success to
future events of the kind, it being
the intention, of the promoters to
make this an annual event, while
they will be behind other events
during the winter months, showing
that they are boosters and good
fellows at every stage of the game.

1--WE are to continue to grow and

ing industry BY inducing settlers
to come in and make their homes
on our virgin lands becomes more
aud more urgent.
I have no patience with the man
or men who conclude that we have
reached our maximum growth here
in Virginia, and that there is moth.
ing more to be#done now but to sit
down and watch the decline of the
country. The country: has not yet
begun to show hat it is worth. The
miners and lumbermen are the pio.
neers it ia true, and it is equally
true that these'pioneers have laid a
broad and deep foundation for us
to build mighty commonwealth
upon. We are unworthy our heri-
tage if we do not continue to build
until this county, 80 blest by nature
and God, has a million people, hap
py and prosperous where now but
scant two hundred thousand dwell.
We are unworthy our opportuni-
ties if we cannot see how magnifi.
Gently Virginia is situated with ref
erence to the. rapidly expanding
commercial and agricultural groth
of this great region. and unless we
have the foresight and nerve to take
advantage of this very remarka BILE

about hard times and keen compe-

race, and such is bound to 20 down
in defeat. To say, as certain bus
mess man said to me a few days
ago, that we have already discount
ed our opportunities here in Vir-
ginia and are inviting disaster and
hard times by advertising the re-
sources of our city and county, is to
acknowledge our unworthiness for
the race, our inability to compete
in the struggle.
