Train and Band Coming to get
Better Acquainted
In line with their custom of renew
ing each year, acquaintanceship with
a definite part or the Northwest hav-
ing close trade relations with Mime
apolis, more than 100 members of the
Minneapolis Civic & Commerce will
start Monday, May Fl, on their elev-
enth annual Trade Tour. This an
nouncement was made by J.E. Tatam,
secretary of the Trade Tour Com
mittee of the Minneapolis Civic q
Commerce Association. A visit will be
made to Sank Centre on May Fl.
The Trade Tour this year will
.. carry enthusiastic and active men
from the leading Minneapolis con-
Germs under the leadership of G. W..
Irwin, chairman of the Trade Tour
Committee. Mr.. Irwin is the north
western manager of the Air Reduc-
ton Sales Co. Minneapolis men will
represent all the principal lines OF
commerce, manufacturing and fin
ance in Minneapolis.
The Trade Tour special train will
leave Minneapolis May FL over the
Great Northern Railway and will
visit fifteen cities on that day, spend
ing the night at Fergus Falls. From
Fergus Falls, they will tour north
ward to Warren and then to Thief
River Falls, where Tuesday evening
will be spent. On Wednesday, Red
Lake Falls and cities on the Northern
Pacific Railway, as far as Manitoba
Junction and then to Wadena, will be
visited. The following day, the Min
neapolis travellers will turn north
ward again and visit Park Rapids,
Walker, Bemidji, Cass Lake, Grand
RAPIDS and other communities on the
Duluth Grand Forks Division of the
Great Northern. Friday will be spent
on the Mesaba Range. The trip will
end Saturday with visits to Cloquet
and other points along the Northern
Pacific to Minneapolis. Stops will be
made at practically every town along
this route.
"The Trade Tour gives unexcelled
opportunity for Minneapolis men
to get acquainted with their custom
Sers and their acquaintences in the ter
ritory with which Minneapolis does
business, said Mr.. Irwin in a state
ment issued in Minneapolis. "Minne-
,apolis concerns buy millions of dol
lars worth of the products of the
farms of Minnesota and surrounding
states. They, in turn, are prepared to
furnish every need of the people of
this section. 1t is to get acquainted
with the people of western and north
ern Minnesota and to talk over our
common problems that we are making
this tour.
The members of the Civic & Com
merce Association are especially in
terested this year in hearing the re-
suits of the National Dairy Show,
which was conducted last fall at the
Minnesota State Fair Grounds. Bust
ness men of the Twin Cities were
very active in promoting the Dairy
Show and through it increasing the
farmers interest in dairying. 1t was
felt that the farming districts of the
Northwest could not do more to in
crease their wealth and well-being by
placing dairy cows on their farms
than any other way.
Although the National Dairy Show
will not be held in Minnesota in 1928,
the Minnesota State Fair has already
announced that exhibits of dairy cat
tie and dairy products will be sought
after more than heretofore and great
inducements are being made to in
terest the people of the Northwest in
the Minnesota State Fair Dairy EX-
position.
The Trade Tourists will be accom-
panied by Micheal M. Jalma and his
band. This was formerly the 151st
Field Artillery Band of the Rainbow
Division. The band will lead the
march which the tourists will make
in a body through every town in
which they stop and will play short
concert. At each town a speaker rep
resenting Minneapolis will speak
briefly in reply to the greetings of
the local committee.
Many men of long acquaintance
with the trade of the Northwest are
making the trip this year with the
Civic & Commerce Association to be-
come more intimately acquainted
with conditions in our own state. For
many of these men the Trade Tour
provides the only opportunity during
the year when they can get this first
hand information. Many others are
going in order to make first acquain-
tances in the territory or are looking
for investments.
Seeks 100000 For Endowment
Mortified, May 2.-Carleton Col
lege of Mortified, one of the best
known of the colleges of the North
west, and ranked with the University
of Minnesota as one of the two first
class colleges of the state of Mime
sofa, will start on May 18th to raise
a fund Of 100000, three-quarters
of which is to be used for additional
endowment.
Carleton is not yet sixty years old,
and the handicap of youth compared
with the colleges of liberal arts of
the east is reflected in the fact that
its endowment is less than half of
that of many educational institutions
which depend for their support in in
vested funds. Unless this is remedied,
the college is threatened with a de-
cline from its present high position
In the educational world.
