PERCY TRUBSHAW OF CoOPERS.
TOWN ELECTED PRESIDENT
.s GRAND FORKS GETS SUM-
MER MEETING.
After a two day session at Wahpe'
ton the State Editorial Association
meeting closed Saturday and the mem
bers who We're 50 fortunate as to be
present returned to their various
homes we'll repaid for the time spent
in visiting the beautiful city of Wah-
peton. The meeting was not large
III number but what was lacking in
number was more than made up in
interest. The people of Wahpeton
furnished Entertainment for the gang
every moment of the time they were
there, and the banquet on Friday ev-
ening was an event that will never
be forgotten bp the boys and their
wives or such of them as We're &C.
companied by their better halves. No
town in the state has ever done more
to> make it pleasant for the editorial
meeting than Wahpeton and the folks
there have won the everlasting esteem
Of the boys by their courteous treat.
ment. Several interesting papers were
read and discussion followed which
might not be of public interest. On
Friday afternoon the election of Off
GERS was held and Percy Trubshaw,
more Familiarity known to the gang as
Troubleshaw" was elected to the Of
fee of president, and the other officers
retained in office. Retiring President
Black has had the Office for two years
and has been instrumental in bringing
the organization up to a very high
state of efficiency and his retirement
was regretted although the newly
elected president gives every indica-
zion of making good in the chair. Mr.,
Trubshaw is Cooperstown man and
is we'll known and has many friends
her who will be pleased to learn thai
he has been honored with the eleva-
ton to position that carries with it
an honor that is eagerly sought after
by any newspaper man. The matter
Of selecting meeting place for the
summer meeting came up and was vOt-
ed on day earlier than the program
announced and in response to per-
sonal appeal from retiring President
Black the meeting was allowed to go
TO Grand Forks. However, the first
vote was practically tie between Val
ley City and Grand Forks and but for
the personal appeal would have come
ilere. The midwinter meeting might
have been secured for this place but
Bismarck had made bid for the win
ter meet and the Tim es-Record repre-
sentative made the motion that the
secretary cast the ballot for the or
ganization for Bismarck and make the
vote unanimous. The 1914 summer
meeting will in all human probability
come to Valley City, The winter meet
ing of 1918 has been successful
meeting and the people Of the state
who are interested in better newspa-
per making will be benefited by the
getting together of the press-gang.
The people of Wahpeton will lose
nothing by the attention they gave to
the boys and Prof Smith of the
schools there proved himself not alone
a hustler and live wire but a prince
Of entertainers. In response to a
toast he described new discovery he
has made so realistically that some of
the more speculative of the gang were
specializing upon the possibilities Of
forming a stock company before they
discovered that the new discovery,
while it had never been patented had
been ccnmcrcialized for many years
nudsr various names but the president
or the Wahpeton schools Of Science
preferred to call it the Liograph. It is
worth while to know President Smith.
The accommodation for the guests
were ample as several were taken to
private houses. The hotel is a splen-
did building and has every modern
convenience. The rooms were splendid
and whatever WAS lacking in table ser
vice was made up ten times over by
the citizens who did so much more
than could reasonably be expected OF
them to give the editors good time.
Only Truth Abides.
