bringing forth tall glittering compo-
sition of silver and engraving which
made President Asa sit up and gasp
and left him with tremor in his voice
when he tried to thank them. They
voted Doc Rutledge secretary again

him thank them for it. which he did
with considerable force and readiness
They fraterniZed with Sank Centre

state.
The winter meeting Of the Northern
Minnesota Editorial association which
was held at Sank Centre was an occa-
sion long to be remembered by those
fortunate in being pres
Brainerd ent. The entertainment
Dispatch of the newspaper men by
the good people Of Sank
Centre was not the only feature Of the
occasion but it went q long ways in
making the stay pleasant and profit
able, and everyone felt the welcome
that beamed on the face of the genial
Mayor, the president of the Commercial
club, the citizens in general. and even
the chief of police and the municipal
judge said they would respect the
keys of the city were turned over and
the boys told to take it, for it was
theirs during their stay, and they did
not betray the confidence.
Sank Centre is beautiful little city
of 5000 people, and it's well laid out
business and residence sections. to-
gether with it's excellent public schools
and churches bespeaks community of
prosperity and contentment The bust
ness men of Sank Centre are hustlers.
and they seem to have that sort of
spirit that begets the get together
idea which crops out in their public
gatherings and in anything of a public
nature that will benefit the whole COM
munity. One business man does not
seem to be afraid that his competitor
is going to get the best end in any of
the laid out plans to benefit the COM
munity but all vie with each other in
the upbuilding of the town and the
community in which they live.
The community also believes in sup
porting newspapers and supporting
them well, and so firmly are they con-
the community that they discourage
the advent of second publication in
their midst at every opportunity, be-
lieving that one good paper well sup

would have to be divided. and conse-
quently Asa Wallace, who is the pub
Usher and proprietor of the Sank Cen
tire Herald, has the field to himself and
enjoys the confidence and good will of
the business men and the entire COM
munity. In return Mr.. Wallace gives
them one of the best weekly publica-
lions in this section of Minnesota-and
they appreciate it.
Friday afternoon the members of the
association were treated to bob sled
ride to the State Home School for Girls
and made an inspection visit of the
grounds and buildings and were en-
Iightened as to the methods employed
by the superintendent, Mrs. F. F. Morse
and were royalty entertained at a lun-
cheon served in the administration
building, and it can be set down as a
fact that not a single member of the
party left without becoming a booster
for the institution. The Dispatch plans
in a future issue to give it's readers a
description of this institution with il
Illustrations which will be interesting
and instructive.
When the Girls Home School at
Sank Centre, comes before the next
legislature asking for sufficient ap-
preparation for it's needs and improve
ment it will have the moral influence
and backing of the newspapers Of nor
thern Minnesota at least. The institu-
tion is backed by real merit and is
managed in its new field in a manner
that is a credit to Mrs. Fannie f
Morse and her able assistants. The
public generally do not seem to real
ize what a wonderful work is being
done at this Sank Centre institution
where $50 girls are now housed, and a
better acquaintance will bring a de-
