ASSOCIATION COMPRISES AZ OF
NORTHERN COUNTIES Of
NORTH STAR STATE.

The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association have been so we'll cared
for by Sank Centre on two previous
occasions that at the annual meet
ing of the association held at Crooks
tom Friday and Saturday of last week
the Herald,S editors invitation to
hold the meeting in January, 1922,
In this city was accepted by unan-
simous vote.
In 1912 when the association was
still in its swaddling clothes the win
ter meet.ig was held at Sank Cen
tire. Again in 1916, at which time the
Herald editor was president of the
association, the gang assembled il
this city for the annual meeting.
. This session was the most successful
ever held by the association sup to
that time. Since then, however the
pace established at Sank Centre has
reached and increased momentum un-
til the meeting held last week was
looked upc.l as being OF enough inn
portance for the daily newspapers
to send their cartoonists and special
writers to Crookston to attend the
meeting.
Another Year we will be on the
brink Of an important state political
campaign anu it is a mortal cinch
that statesmen and near statesmen
in large numbers will migrate to
this city for the gathering of the
editors,t with their lights trimmed
and burning.
The Northern Association COM
prises the AZ northern counties of
Minnesota and is by far the largest
and mos. important newspaper mems
organization in the state within the,
state organization. A conservative
estimate would place the number of
visitors at 100 for the Sank Centre
meeting.
Sank Centre will be called upon to
supply meeting place, to arrange
smoker to which business men will.
be invited and to arrange a banquet
for their guests. Mayor A. L. In.
gram and President Parker and Sec
rotary West of the Commercial Club
have informed the Herald that they
will gladly back the Herald editor in
his effort to set standard at the.
forthcoming meeting which will act
as a guide post for other towns to
shoot at for several years to come.
The following resolutions were,
passed by the association:
