been serious thoughtful sessions with

sit in at these meetings and hear these

Strange to say the talks and dis

of greater money making but more
about how TO render greater service
to the community and how to exert a

by the fatal illness and il was deemed
inadvisable to remove her to her own
home on HARRISON avenue until a

AS early as Thursday night of last
week symptoms OF a breaking down
of her vitality manifested itself and
twenfy-four hours later the exhaus-

that time until the end came the de-
cline was steady and irresistible Sat

sional convention tor the GOOD of the
country in gen ii.
Around the lining tables and III the
hotel lobbies publishers get together
and talk over business and profess
sional problems and exchange ideas
and helpful hints.
Altogether these conventions must
prove helpful to all who attend and |
am convinced that no matter what
profession or line of business | hap
pened to be engaged in | should at

ing.
Besides the serious side of the CON
vention our National Editorial Asso-
citation has developed into sort OF
travel club for the study of geography
and the enterprises and resources of
our own country especially. We had
all plans made to take our party on
several special trains up TO Winnipeg
and thru Western Canada tc Banff
and Lake Louise bat the government
stepped in and put ban on using the
equipment of railroads for special
train trips so that trip was with
drawn But we have been seeing
more OF Minnesota instead.
During the past year our association
has been building sort OF memory
map of this country. As the little
folks play with sectional map. put
ting it together by putting in a state
here and finding a. state block that
fits there and somewhere else and
thus build up a map of the country so
have we in the past years been build.

how dim are your impressions of the
states and sections of the country in
which you have never been. and how
much better you appreciate the sec

Our newspaper folks have been de

Twenty-fourth Aero squadron and ex-
poets to be sent with the flying corps
of the army to France. In the course
of his letter he says:
There is no doubt in my mind of a
great future for the aetoplane. The
air makes every place an aerial port
and affords the shortest cross-country
distance between any two places. In
few years travel thru the air will be
common and will result in an almost
infinite commercial development in
all civilized lands. The United States

in cooperation with the French and
English hiers. are destined to secure
the supremacy OF the air in the war

fall from his bicycle while riding down
Pump hill on the south side of the

evening. 1t was realized at the time
that the accident was serious one,
but il was not generally believed to
be of fatal nature. An examination
OF his wounds at the hospital on Ff-
day. however. showed his skull TO be
badly fractured and the chances for
his recovery very slight. He was un-
conscious most if not all of the Time

Good from Business Standpoint.
From business standpoint a coun-
ty fair. lasting four or Ave days each
year. would seem 10 be an. excellent
thing for the people of this city. as II
would attract many visitors from 9th

able money that would find its way in.
to general circulation. but above all
mercenary considerations is the value
of the county fair as a social and edn-
cationai institution. In these respects
it is unique. nothing having yet been
evolved TO take it's place.
