COMMUNITY. PICNIC
Commercial Club Agrees to Cooper
ate With Farm Bureau Units rs
to Make Outing Success. h. E.:
Club Tables Advertising Proposition
for Consideration at Next n (
:-~.i r..
Regular Meeting. r

Commercial club was held on Monday
night to consider two propositions,
one of which was a community club
picnic and the other a writeup of the
Scenic highway including the villages
and towns along the route.
The most important proposition
taken up was community picnic to
be held at the fair grounds on Sunday,
August ID. The idea of such picnic
originated with the farm bureau units
of Princeton, Greenbush, Baldwin. and
Blue Hill townships in harmonious
combination, and it is one which will
doubtless meet with genefal approba-
ton.
County Agent Hammargcen asked
the club to cooperate with these units
and assist in making the picnic real
community affair with villages and
rural districts combined. 1t has been
decided, said Mr.. Hammargren, to-
invite the units from Glendorado,
Stanchfeld, Wyanett and other town.
ships to participate in the outing.
Mr.. Hammargren's request met with
the hearty approval of the club men,
bers present, who promised to give
all the support possible in making the
picnic big community success.
Tentative plans have been made for
basket lunch on the fair grounds and
for furnishing the picnickers with
free coffee.
A program has been formulated for
the afternoon, with N. J. Holmberg,
state commissioner of agriculture, the;
principal speaker. Attorney Mcmillan:
will also, address the meeting and G..
E. Mack give talk on the spraying
of potatoes, fruit trees, etc., with Paris
green and Bordeaux mixture. Music
will be provided by one or more bands
and there will probably be quartet
of singers. The program will wind
up with a ball game between Foley
and Princeton .-.-..
The president appointed the follow
ing committees: Band music, C. J.
Odegard; advertising, w. c. Doane;
general arrangements, c.. M. Morten-
son, c. H: Nelson, Fred Newton, Bert
Mark and D. A. McRae, this commit
tee to meet with committeeman from
the farm bureau units to perfect plans.
Everyone should put forth an effort
to make this community picnic a sue
cess. It will be get-together event
for the farmers and business men.
Mr.. Harrington, representing the St.
Paul Pioneer Press-Dispatch, ex-
planned to the club that his company
is writing up the Scenic highway from
it's beginning to end, with the villages
and towns along the route. The prop
osit lion is to write up these villages
and towns on the $3.50 basis-that is,
for example, to the village which takes
half-page ad in the propesd addition,
(which will be issued the latter part of
September, half-page writeup will
he given, and so on in proportion. A
:>alf-page ad, which Mr.. Harrington
suggested Princeton should take,
would cost $3.50. He. said that Elk
River, Zimmerman, Milaca and Ona-
mia had agreed to take space in the
paper. Following discussion of the
proposal the matter, was laid on the
table for further consideration at the
Irregular meeting on August Is.
Mr.. Harrington complimented
Princeton upon it's having one of the
best tourist camping grounds along
the Scenic highway, the only thing
needed to make it complete, he said,
being firewood for the campers. This
can, of course, be easily furnished.
