approximately fifty farmers of
this community responded to the
invitation Of the Community Club
and attended the meeting last
week Thursday evening as guests
of the Sank Centre business men.
President Roy Scott welcomed the
guests and invited them to affiliate
with the club so that matters Of Inn
portance to both the farmer and
business man may be brought up
for discussion and settlement in q
proper manner.
The meeting was both interest
ing and profitable, insofar as a
movement to secure a grain mar
ket for Sank Centre was launched
at this time. The farmers present
expressed themselves in favor Of a
grain market in this city, and prac-
tically all Of them raised their
hands when asked by the president
as to how many produced market
able grains. A committee to investi-
gate the possibility of a grain buy
ing establishment was appointed
as follows: w. M. Parker, chair
man; Paul Domke, John Ceynar, r.
]. Minette and j. F. Cooper.
The highlight Of the evening
was presented when George H.
Bradley, Director of the Minnesota
State Tourist Bureau, showed won
derful films OF the wildlife Of Min
nesota. These pictures Of game and
fish, which were shown at the Gen.
fury Of Progress Exposition, Of
Chicago, were greatly enjoyed. Ow-
ing to the fact that the sound at
tachment was out Of order, Mr..
Bradley gave an explanation Of
the scenes and made a splendid
talk with the pictures. He stated
that there are 11,007 lakes in the
state, which the residents take
more or less for granted, and that
If by some miracle or means any
one of these lakes could be trans
planted to Texas, even the small
est community would be more than
willing to bond itself for 500, 000,-
600 for the purpose. The tourist
business is one of the largest as
sets Of Minnesota, and other states
less fortunate, realize 1t all too ser
iously. In his talk it was brought
out that Mr.. Vornbrock has 81
lakes in his district alone. This
amount is ten more than the total
lakes in the State Of Iowa. This Is
more than one man can properly
care for without cooperation from
the public and the resort owners.
The balance Of the evening was
spent in a social way and the
guests enjoyed refreshments and
cigars.
In the matter of tourist business,
Mr.. Bradley, under date of May
oath, mailed the following letter to
President Scott:
Mr.. r. L. Scott, President,
Commercial Club.
Sank Centre, MINI.
Dear Mr.. Scott:
That you may gain some
conception Of what the Tour
list Bureau is trying to do on
behalf of the entire State, we
have mailed you under separate
cover a letter setting forth an
opportunity of which I think
Sank Centre should take adj
vantage to the extent Of gath
ering enough exhibit material
on behalf Of the community to
fill 15-foot window during st.
Paul Week, beginning June 16.
You have better opportun-
ity along the Sinclair Lewis
lines, not only in Minnesota
nationally, with slogan which
might be something Nike this:
