Ralph and I started away to exhibit "Actual War Scenes". We

went to Hinckley from there to Sandstone, and give our first

exhibition May 12. That was the largest crowd that I ever

spoke to. I was about the first time that I ever spoke in public

my way. Sandstone is a wild rocky place on Kettle River.

The rock raising up over a hundred feet in height.
