CAPITOL CITY ACTIVE

The Saint Paul Association OF
st. Paul sends out a weekly letter
to the press Of the state in which
il boosts its stock and extolls the
beauties and advantages Of the
state outside Of Minneapolis.
So much propaganda is re-
ceived by newspaper offices of
the state that frequently the
time is not even spent in opening
the letters-much less reading
them. Among the chief space
grafters at present are the Blue
Valley Creamery Co., the Sears
Roebuck Foundation and The Far
mer Of st. Paul. What they are
after is to have the country press
bring their names before the pub
lie each week in we'll written and
nicely prepared articles-to get
some free advertising.
The Saint Paul Association is
likely out on the same mission
but il does not represent a pri-
vate institution and for that rea-
son may get more attention by
the country press. However.
should Minneapolis. Duluth. st.
Cloud, Winona and other Mime
sofa cities be after the same kind
Of publicity il can readily be
seen that the pages of the coun-
try press would be well filed.
In letter No. Is the Saint Paul
Association expresses a feeling of
proudness over their native son,
Frank b. Kellogg, now Secretary
of State. This is as it should be
and is pleasant reading. II car

pected from either of the Twin
Cities. There are a few lines
about the Norse-American CEN
tennial and the wonders of Min
nesota.
