from business duties and mingle with
the Cream City" business men.
Styling the men engaged in the
trade tour as men who go on the
theory that in order to get things
done, something must be doing all the
time in order to overcome handi-
| caps, Mr. Fritz said that obstacles
| are changed into constructive OPP
Portunities by getting views from
their experiences and friendships.
The speaker referred to a recent
trip to the city of Milwaukee in com
pany with his daughter. 1t was
then that he learned of the unlimited
hospitality of that city, which is in
deed one Of its best sources of ad :
vertising. Small courtesies sweeten
life, and these favors are long re-
membered, and rebound with benefit
to those who perform them. Mr..
Fritz referred to the beauties of Sib-
ley Park, the well paved streets, the
substantial business houses, the well
kept lawns, beautiful homes and the
city, in general as a desirable place
in Which to live. In delivering his
speech Mr.. Fritz did not fail to in
terlard the same with many anus
ing references to members Of the
trade tour. In closing Mr.. Fritz
said: -... -..-..
In our eagerness for business let US
not forget the more serious things of
life and think Of the mans prayer:
When / wake at the break of the morn
Let me face the whole world with a
| smile,
For the road stretches out in the dis
lance
And courage will shorten each mile
Each day as I solve. my life's problems
pray that the chances I've had
Have taught me to see in my neighbor
All the good and far less OF the bad.
There are sights in a city that sicken
Twixt my office and third story room.
But st ask I'll that the Yo% govern IN my Pgo vision
All friendships are not what they
And lips are oft twisted with lies, :
The good from the bad in their eyes.
When I look on the face of a wanton
Give me strength to turn from her
Let me see her again as a daughter
Or a babe In her mothers arms.
Now the beggar. that sits on the corner
The one who is minus his legs.
Make me shake his old hands as an
Poor deviil-he's drunk of the dregs.
I ask for no place with the angels.
Nor hope to cruise round on the wing
When Gabriel blows his last trumphet
:. And hosts ,sa in nth the highest sing r,,,.,
From the place have gone over there,
And see, written plain on tablet.
HE played the whole game on the
Played it square from the day of the
To the day of the Dreamless Dust"
We hope you viii remember on your
visit to Mankato the beautiful Holsteins
near this city. This wonderful herd was
gotten together mainly from Wisconsin;
country, and state. We doff our hats to
you when 1t comes to fine cows and good
grade stock and it's the very thing that
has kept you growing in wealth. pros
William Pteplow, president OF the
| library board of Milwaukee, said in
his short we'll worded address that
what really makes Milwaukee fam
GUS Is its great manufactures which
are famed the world over. The fame
has been built up on the merit of
products turned out. He referred to
the ninety business men on the trade
tour from his city as ambassadors
cial houses of Milwaukee who are
seeking the friendship Of other cit
les towns and states in the great
problems Of the day.
Address BY p. A. Grau.
Phil A. Grau, executive head OF
the Milwaukee Association CONNER
ce, was the last speaker Of the even
ing. Mr.. Grau referred at some lem
9Th to the many large industries of
Milwaukee, and like Mr.. Pieplow,
said that these are what really make
| Milwaukee famous. He attributes the
great success and growth Of Milwau-
kee to the sturdy character of the
pioneers who founded the city sew
enty- FIVE years ago, or it is charact-
er of the inhabitants of city rather
than its other features which counts
after all. The speaker said that the
real object of the tour was to get
| in closer contact with kindred COM
mercial bodies over a large section
of the country, not alone on eX-
elusive commercial topics, but upon
legislation and general betterment
of the conditions of the nation at large
Now is the time. the speaker said
for red blooded American to put forth
their best efforts to bring the
country back to normal state.
remainder of the evening was spent
by the visitors In mingling with the
local business men.
There is no doubt but what Otto
c. Knell, representing o. C. Knell &
Company had the time of his life. He
had an abundance of souvenirs for
, which Mankato boys and girls went
wild. He lined the lads up on the
pavement and had them run all
manner of races, and the winners
were given choice souvenirs. Taken
as a whole the tourists are a live
bunch of boosters. Their stay in
Mankato was enjoyed by everyone.
When the visitors were marching
in Front street yesterday afternoon
number of them dotted their hats
to the pretty bathing girlsf who
stood smiling in the show windows
of the George e. Brett store.
