the "greatest state fair in America." This point can be talked 

 about and discussed. If that is done, before long it will be- 

 come not a possibility but a certainty. 



The North Woods will always be used as a medium for 

 sending out necessary information. But it will do little good 

 if it does not reach more than a select clientele. The Minne-

 school men, etc. It means talking about the subject, "living

The largest tree in the United States is said to be the "Mother 

 of the Forest," a giant redwood in the Calaveras big tree grove 

 in California. It is supposed to contain 140,619 board feet of 

 lumber. There are, however, many claimants for the honor of 

 being the "largest tree" and the "oldest tree" and these claims, 

 according to foresters, cannot always be verified.
