"Ten Thousand Lakes Are Calling"

''Ten Thousand Lakes Are Calling"
BY c. J. Byrne
Lay aside your cares and worries,
Close your desk and pack your grip,
For you owe Yourself an outing,
A vacation and trip;
Come and rest your weary body,
Where the laughing waters steal,
Through the shady hooks that lure you,
Come with trusty rod and reel.
Come and learn real joys of fishing
Sporty bass or gamey pike;-
Take train that leaves your home
town,
You can motor if you like.
Come and hear the wild birds singing,
Joining in the welcome, too;
For ten thousand lakes are calling,
They are calling,-calling you.
Come and bring the family with you,
Where the cooling breezes creep
Through the pine trees of the forests,
Gently singing you to sleep;
Where the sky-blue waters crimson,
AS the sun sets in the west;
Come partake of natures tonic
In the land of peace and rest.
Come and breathe the fragrant ozone
Of the piney-wooded land,
In a playground made to- order
BY good Mother Natures hand;
Come on up to Minnesota
With your pack-sack and canoe,
For ten thousand lakes are calling
They are calling,-calling you.

The Sacco-Vanzetti case is creating
much excitement and some trouble.
There appears to be considerable
doubt as to their guilt and if they
cannot be set free it would seem that
a life sentence instead of death would
be better. Then if later mistake
was discovered there would be a
chance, at least in part, to have it
remedied. After a life has been
