ISOLATION, presided over the
meeting at the Elks Club.
Judge Jean Flittie of Manka-
to gave a most interesting talk
on Newspaper Men as Others
See Them in which he held the
mirror up to editors of news
papers. Mr.. Flittie has a keen
insight as we'll as a remarkable
sense of humor and his talk was
thoroughly ENJOYABLE as we'll as
instructive.
Pres. James Morrison of the
State Editorial Association was
present and presided over the
question box. Several practical
and helpful discussions were
made of sucl- questions as the
cash in advance subscription,
price cutting, special editions,
advertising rates, etc. At the

Will Come Here
An invitation to hold the mid
wear pleasure meeting at Red
wood Falls was unanimously ac-
cepted, and Redwood Falls resi-
dents will be given an opportun-
itv to entertain the editors of
the district and their wives at
some date next summer, prob
ably in August as this was the
stated preference of several.
Fine Banquet
Al six-thirty o'clock a delic-
ious four course dinner was
served in the cafe of the Elks
Gil b after which the members
of the association were guests
at the Mankato theatres until
ten o'clock when they returned
J to the cafe for an informal get
together before leaving for their
homes. A lunch was served and
an orchestra played during the
interludes between the toasts
and addresses. Larry O. of ST.
Paul gave an inspiring talk Civ
ing the rather hackneyed sub
iects of brotherhood and hui
mainly new meaning and a
broader significance. Larry 0,
or Lawrence Hodgins, to speak
correctly, has a personal SIM
plicity and modesty Of speech
ard manner which adds a dis
: tinct charm to his very forceful
remarks and his address will be
treasured by everyone so fortu-
nate as to hear him. Following
this address several impromptu
a and short addresses were made
by others of chose present"
