TOURIST TRAVEL
NOW At PEAK.

MinneSota'S famous Arrowhead
country is now the mecca for tourists
trying to escape the extreme heat pre-
valent throughout the country during
the last two weeks
Although late in getting started, be-
cause of the cold weather during the
spring and early summer months, the
1928 tourist season is fast reaching its
peak, with indications that the record
mark of 1927 will be passed by Labor
day, according to Fred d. Vibert,
executive director of the Minnesota
Arrowhead Association.
Last year 207 900 tourists were regis
tered in the Arrowhead country and it
is estimated that they spent approx
mately $4OOO,O00 while indications are
that at least $4,000 will visit this re-
gion before cold weather sets in next
fall
Tourists have registered from every
state in the Union and from every
province in Canada, as we'll as from
several foreign countries, Mr. Vibert
said.
Passenger traffic on Lake boats is
exceeding that of 1927, with indications
that new record will be established
before the season ends next month.
Several excursions conducted by rail-
roads have added to the constantly
growing number of tourists. AS a re-
suit of a special campaign conducted
in Minneapolis in June, several thous-
and delegates and their wives attend
ing the conventions of the National
Educational Association, the American
Medical Association and the Interna-
tional Rotarians came to the Arrow
head country for brief visits following
the gatherings.
Several hundred thousand pamph-
lets, maps, tour guides and booklets
about the Arrowhead country have
been distributed to visitors by inform
alton booths Many of the visitors
have been attracted here through adj
vertising given the region at the Out
door exposition in Chicago last spring.
Hotel and resort owners in towns
and at lakes in the Arrowhead all re-
port a continually growing army Of
tourists, forcasting the seasons peak
about Labor day. After that time they
expect a gradual drop through the
hunting season and until the snow be-
gins to fall. The tourists report ia
vorably on the increased capacity in
the resorts and the attractiveness Of
the buildings that have replaced the
old-faShioned cottages and cabins.
These places are fast taking on the at
mosphere of the famous Fairgrounds
in Maine, California and Florida.
Highway conditions are reported ex-
cellent throughout the region, while
the road connecting with No. at the
border for Port Arthur and Fort Will
lam is also in good shape, having been
| improved this summer.

NOW IS TIME
| To BUY FARM
HEAD OF GREATER MINNESOTA
ASSOCIATION URGES FARM
TENANTS TO SECURE HOME FOR
THEMSELVES WHILE PRICES
ARE LOW.

Farm tenants in Minnesota should
act now to secure home for them
selves, or they are liable to find them
selves faced with higher priced land
says o. G. Neuman, president of the
Greater Minnesota Association.
Minnesota has a low percentage OF
farm tenants as compared with other
states and of the 188. 231 farms operated
throughout the state only 51,083 are
operated by tenants This situation
Mr.. Neuman believes is due to the fact
that land prices in Minnesota have
been low for many years and that II
has not been necessary for tenant to
raise a great amount of cash in order
to provide himself with home.
According to Mr.. Neuman the aver
age farm tenant in Minnesota is doing
well, especially those who work hard
apply business methods and cooperate
with the land owner Many Of these
tenants are also well on the road to-
wards owning farm for themselves,
Mr.. Neuman says and he points out
that the fellow who buys now while
prices are low and reasonable terms
can be secured will probably save him
self money. He also say that many
men who are successful farmers today
began as tenants, saved enough to
make down payment on a farm and
finally had complete ownership.
He believes that there never was q
better opportunity to obtain farm In
Minnesota than there is today, that
prices will never be lower and that
terms of purchase will never be more
attractive. Being a heavy land owner
he has had an opportunity to observe
land movement and he says that farm
sales have revived to wonderful ex-
tent within recent months.
Speaking of the situation in farm
lands at the present time he says: "Ir
the many years I have owned lands
in Minnesota I have never been more
enthusiastic concerning af1ricultura
development than am now. Farm lanc
is starting to move and the interest be-
ing shown by citizens Of other states
as evidenced by the many inquiries re-
ceived by the Greater Minnesota AS.
ISOLATION and Ten Thousand Lakes AS
| ISOLATION for farm lands causes me tx
believe that they will continue to move
with even greater speed. Therefore
would advise Minnesota tenants Il
get their farm shomes before prices 81
