On behalf of the students
of the Sank Centre High School
I welcome you to our city, and
we greet you as potential mira
Gle workers of our country. You
have proved your ability, and
through jealous efforts have
won the prizes and recognition
that you so richly deserve.
Sank Centre is proud to have
this opportunity of hearing
how you proceeded on your
Journey to success, and we are
here today, to pay our respects s
to you, our esteemed and well
come visitors.
The boys and girls Of this
city and community stand ready
to assist in making your visit
here a pleasant one. 1t is in
deed a splendid service that you
are rendering. With the assist
ance of the Great Northern
Railroad, you are bringing right
to our doors, the information
that we need, and the exhibits
that we should see. Intelligent
demonstration, and inspiring
talks which make up your pro-
gram will stabilize to no little
degree the farming industry.
Full we'll do we realize how
very important is the dairy in
dustry. Full we'll do we know
how valuable are the teachings
you bring to us here in Sank
Centre. The future of this
state is safe, and posterity will
never need to worry, for you
are a splendid example of pro-
gress we are making. If one
would know what you have
done, then let him in years to
come seek you out in your gar
dens and pastures; let him ac-
quaint himself with your single,
wholesome = yet efficient life,
let him study you as progress
you. as we know you; hard
working, jealous club workers.
Then it will be proclaimed that
monuments built of stone and
bronze are material, transient,
manlike-but monuments such as
you have builded, not for your
self but for others, will carry
sie message down through ages
..and those that follow will reap
The rewards.

ager of the Great Northern railway
was introduced and stated that the
Great Northern was greatly interest
ed in the Junior Live Stock show, and
that he was gratified to notice the
increasing interest. He stated that
the Grea Northern were more than
repaid for its trouble in arranging
the special trip because it had given
$4,000 citizens of the northwest first
hand information as to what the jun
Tor Live Stock show was doing in not
only encouraging the boys and girls
of Minnesota to raise better livestock
but that what they had accomplished
was an education to the grown7ups OF
the Northwest. t
Mr.. Erickson of University Farm,
head of the Boys and Girls move
ment of the state was next intro
duced and briefly outlined the
achievements of the young people in
comparatively short time. His only
regret was that more of the young
people of the state did not take part
in this worthwhile enterprise.
The following young people, boys
and girls, ranging in ages from 1 to
IS, were the prize winners on the
trip:
