There was a we'll attended meeting
of the Commercial club last evening
to arrange for the entertainment of
the South Dakota Editorial associa-
ton which meets at Lake Madison

Sec'y Halliday of the association,
who was in the city a day or two ago,
estimated that at least 200 newspa-
per men, their wives and friends
would attend the summer meeting at
the lake. The sense of the CONNER
cial club meeting last evening was
that the visitors should be extended
every courtesy possible, and that the
Lake Madison event be made the best
in the history of the association meet
ings. 1t was decided to meet all
trains with automobiles and trans
port the visitors to the lake upon
their arrival. On n evening during
their outing 1t the lake a three
curse banquet will be given in their
honor with plates laid for 900. An
appropriate program of toasts and
other features of good fellowship will
be arranged in connection with the
banquet. Another feature of pleas
ure for the visitors will be an auto
mobile drive which will include a
tour about the city, visiting the State
Normal school buildings and other
places of interest, a drive into the
country nearby returning to the lake
by way of Wentworth. With the in
terest being taken in their visit by
Madison business men the state ed
itors may depend upon receiving reaI
Madison hospitality.
