Winnebago City was host to the
editors of the Second District at their
summer meeting last Saturday. The
day was delightfully."- spent at the sum-
mer resort at Bass Lake, resort or
which Winnebago may well be proud.
The Commercial Club of the city
proved itself most genial and liber-
al host and the editors found that their
money spoke no language recognized
in Winnebago during the entire meet
ing. Fred Hadley sustained his well
won reputation as the prince of good
hosts and the support given him by
his toWnsmen was hearty and effec-
tive. A fish supper, with all that one
could eat of the best fish in the world,
with a host of other good things on
the side line was one of the most
pleasing features of the day. The
short informal talks of the luncheon
and dinner hour were in charge of
President v. Weber and Fred Hadley
presided at the program of more form
al talks given in the evening. Practl-
cally no shop was talked, and politics
were ignored also. Consequently "a
good time was had by alp. DR.. Annis
insists that Bass Lake will be much
better two years from now and sug-
gests that the editors all come again
then. The doctors suggestion makes
an awful big hit with at least one of

aim to be among those present.
