costing these men and regardless Of
whom we have to credit for making
the appoi ntments, these two men are
the peers of any men personally
known to the writer. They are both
men who have given unstintedly of
their time and ideas and labor to
the advancement of Northern Min
nesota particularly. They have
helped the cause time and again,
have helped to steer through critical
times and their ideas have always
been sound. There have been no
two men i'm the Northern Minnesota
Development association entitled to
more credit than they-for its sue.
cesses-though they have both SHE'D
at getting into the imelight on their
own account. : Northern Minneso-
ia will never, have to apologize for
such men, and they will both befin a
position to help get fair play for Nor
them Minnesota in the future.
That is all either of them will ask,
