Wednesday, it was told US that .
party standing on crossing in Sleepy
Eye counted 173 autos from the west
alone, passing in the space of less
than an hour. One machine followed
another without minutes pause and
as far as one could see they we're still
coming. Forty suto.loads drove TO-

In our general writeup Of the
various events of the week it has been
impossible to give sufficient credit to
he many really good things that tho

Band also gave great pleasure to
many and while Capt. Hofmeister tells

% believe that they could have done
10 better there than they did st home

we're so entirely successful on Wednes-
lay that they deserve special mention
Ind the opportunities afforded to get
ogether for quiet little reunions made
or much of the happiness of the week.
lust q small part of these reunions
pilled over into our Office but We
we're kept busy nearly every minute
lay times all week talking with fest
'isitors who dropped in to tell US how
hey couldn't keep away when their
lome paper and letters of invitation
rom the Junior Pioneers and other
riends kept coming to them almost
|aily urging them to be here and
elating incidents of old times and ?
meetings. with old friends. There is .
,enersl feeling that the home coming
eature of the celebration was an
nqualified success.
