proven successful and Mr. Olmsted
wishes to thank all the friends who so
thoughtfully sent cards, flowers and

ton and it will be a delight to see

The Minnesota w. C.. T. U. has
maintained a "Rest Cottage" at the
state fair grounds for the past eight
cen years. This year the rooms were
made attractive with temperance
posters and a fine display of all kinds
Iof temperance literature, which was
distributed in large quantities. The
couches and easy chairs were gen.
orally occupied by tired women and
children. The visitors book re-
vealed guests from many states.
These facts concerning the rest room
at the state fair can all be truly
stated about the rest room at the
Garden City fair. 1t is to be hoped
that the fair association will provide
a more fit and suitable place for the
rest room in the near future.
