BOOSTERS MEET
At BEMIDlJID DEC. As
WINTER MEETING OF NORTH
ERN MINNESOTA DEVELOP
MENT ASSOCIATION.
MANY live TOPICS DISCUSSED
SOME POLITICS MAY CROP OUT
BEFORE THE CONVEN-
TION ADJOURNS.

On the fourth and fifth of Deem
Ger, Thursday and Friday, the winter
meeting Of the Northern Minnesota
Development Association will be
held at Bemidji. This will be one Of
the most important meetings in the
history of the Association. A large
number of the prominent men in the
stete will be present and deliver adj
dresses. Officers will be elected for
the coming year and much business
will be transacted.
This Association was the parent or
ga,,ization of its kind in the United
States but at the present time similar
bodies are numerous under various
names, all patterned more or less af-
ter the Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Association. -
The prime object Of this association
was to set forth and advertise the adj
vantages Of Northern Minnesota to
prospective settlers and much good
has been accomplished.
Show rooms have been maintained
IN Minneapolis during the last two
years where the products of this
region have been on exhibition and
from where literature has been sent
to various parts of the country.
The Association, although some
what handicapped for the lack of
funds, has accomplished great work
not only for northern Minnesota but
incidently for the whole state.
The organization is strictly nom
political but the coming together Of
so large gathering and so many
prominent men will undoubtedly be
utilized to exchange views and dis
cuss candidates and political prop
ositions.
