had come when all Minnesotans
would have to unite to further the
development of the state. Mr.. Mel
son paid a glowing cmpliment to
the accomplishments of the Ten
Thousand Lakes Association and
urged that it be given the greatest
support.
B. B. GislaSon of Minneota, past
president of the Minnesota Real
Estate Board talking on the subject
"The Dawn of q New Day., told of
the especially advantageous position
Minnesota occupied as an agricul-
tural state and said that from now
en- the farmer will be repaid more
for his efforts than ever before. He
sud that the apparent oversupply
Cf agricultural products during the
past few years has not been because
there has been overproduction, but
rather under-consumption on the
part of Europe which formerly was
our greatest market.

ties of the state and urged the clos
est cooperation between all sections.

Following are the resolution pre-
scented by the resolutions committee
composed of Frank S. Gold, Roy
Watson, l.. s. Miller, M. N. Kohl, f.
R. Ruggles and w. E. Witherspoon,
and adopted at the meeting:
WHEREAS, many magazines pub

have at many times fully cooperat-
ed with the Ten Thousand Lakes
Association by publishing many art
icles of interest drawing attention
to the lakes and resorts of our state,
always well illustrated, making no
charge for such publicity. (,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE 1T RE-

magazines, periodicals and news
papers for their loyal cooperation.
We desire to express our appre-

We believe the work done by the
Association and benefit accruing to
the whole state justifies us in asking
for a gradually increasing a%ppropri-

We desire to reaffirm the APPROVAL
given the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence

last annual meeting.
1t is the judgment of this meet

made for the use of all public tour

conditions may be improved, ade-

camps and that these camps may be

WHEREAS, there is a constant
