FAVORABLE PUBLICITY FOR
SABK CENTRE

A couple of weeks ago The Herald
had occasion to call attention to the
beginning of Volume "a of this paper
and also to the "bee" held by Sank
Centre folks to clean up and beautify
the Tourist Park. The Minneapolis
Tribune of Sunday, June IL, discus
sed these two facts editorially in the
following very interesting manner:
Gopher Prairie's' Answer to Carol
KennicOtt.'
"Sauk Centre, Steans county, Min
nesota-mueh traduced old home
town, of Sinclair Lewis-has given
the lie to Main Street and Carol
Kennicott. Sank Centre that Lewis
called Gopher Prairie,' you know;
Gopher Prairie, the sordid, blank,
bald, crude, hot, dusty, unrefned, un--
cultured, unappreciative village OF
the best seller of today. Gopher
Prairie, where Carol tried her darn
dest to awaken community spirit, and
high-brow draymah, and Nietsche,
and Art for Arts sake, and Love Of
Beauty, and all that, v know.
"Sauk Centre, alias Gopher Prairie,
comes up and deposes and says it
amt so. In the issue that marks the
opening of its fitty-fOurth volume
since that day when it was establish
ed as the most northwesterly news
paper east of the Rocky Mountains,
in 1867, the Sank Centre Herald cries
out it's challenge:
"'The community spirit is at high
tide in Sank Centre. Any insinuation
that this city represents the idea
embodied in Carol Kennicott in SIN
clair Lewis Main Street has been
refuted." And then the Herald goes
on to tell how it published an an
nouncement a week before that the
Sank Centre Country club would turn
over a tourist park to the city, fol
free use of all, and that the ground
must be put in shape. The Herald
called for volunteers-for "bee," tc
Olu-ldSlllOllcu anu ella
was all the call that was made.
"On the day chosen, says the Her.
aid, the laborers came singly, in
pairs and in droves, over $50 men ane
30 women taking active part in this
community event. Practically every
business house in town was represent
ed, either in person or by a hiret
substitute. Not only the men from
town contributed their bit, but man!
adjacent farmers were there will

"The community workers cleare'

completed, and the park converte
