A Spirited Campaign. 



The Minnesota Forestry Association is conducting a spirited 

 campaign in order to bring this measure before the attention 

 of the voting public. Nine out of ten amendments usually fail 

 and we dare not let this measure follow the fate of the others. 

 It is the last opportunity open to the friends of forestry to 

 save our pineries from final destruction. 



Exhibits were held at sixty-nine county fairs illustrating 

 this amendment. Five reels of motion pictures are travelling 

 throughout the state showing the need of this amendment. 

 Over 20,000 posters will be distributed in every hamlet, town 

 and city in Minnesota. More than 200,000 booklets will be 

 circulated through bankers, farmers' clubs, churches,, and com- 

 mercial clubs to the voters of the state. 



Press Supports It. 



The press of Minnesota is giving the measure its splendid 

 support, the Federation of Women's Clubs will call up every 

 voter with a telephone. 



Two hundred fifty motion picture theaters will run for one 

 feek a slide explaining the state forests amendment. 

 We have obtained the active co-operation of the Minnesota 

 >rest Service, the United States Forest Service, the Depart- 

 lent of Agriculture, the Department of Education, and the 

 Jepartment of Immigration. 



The West Central Minnesota Development Association, the 

 Led River Development Association, the Southern Minnesota 

 Development Association, the Minnesota Breeders' Associa- 

 tion, the Minnesota Federation of Labor, the Minnesota Fed- 

 eration of Women's Clubs, the Minneapolis Civic and Com- 

 merce Association, and the St. Paul Association of Commerce 

 are giving the movement their enthusiastic support. 



The most prominent men in the state like Archbishop Ire- 

 land, Bishop Quayle, Bishop Edsall, Mr. Lee, Mr. Hammond 

 and many others have given us their heartiest endorsement 

 and co-operation. 



Governor Eberhart has proclaimed State Forests Day to be 

 observed in every school in the state. Five hundred thousand 

 boys and girls of Minnesota will write a card to their parents
