The editors of the Seventh District
enjoyed a social outing at Alexandria
last Friday evening and Saturday.
The visiting editors were given an au-
to ride Friday among the many beau
tiful lakes near the city. Cottages,
club houses and hotels abound. The
country about the city and lakes is
wooded and roads wind about the
lakes everywhere. A number of the
lakes are connected so that a motor
boat trip of thirty miles might be TAX
en-. An informal reception and lunch
was rendered after the ride to the
editors by the Commercial Club at
the Masonic Hail. when a pleasant
evening was spent. DR.. Cole presid-
ed at short preliminary session when
City Attorney C. Larson extended the
welcome on behalf of the city and the
response was made by ye editor, as
president of the editorial association.
Saturday morning the editors had
"shop talk" session at the CONNER
cial Club which lasted until noon. Six
new members were enrolled. The
place for the winter meeting will be
fixed by the executive committee. Au-
tos were ready to take the visitors
to Geneva Beach, four miles out,
where "fish-fry" dinner was served
by the live boosters Of Alexandria.
These men are experts at preparing
and frying fish and their operations
held the close attention of the ladies
of the party. Sheriff l.. S. Kent, and
Game Warden John Moore were the
chief cooks, assisted by a half dozen
andria. We have never sat down to
more appetizing meal.

close Of the dinner calling for remarks
from Prof. ]. B. Hagen, president of
