$50 at the Masonic Temple at
o'clock Friday evening proved to be {
very delightful occasion. The din
ner was well cooked and dainty anc
promptly served and the guests were
unanimous in their praise of the
calibre of the cookery furnished by
the ladies of this city. This occasion
was enlivened materially by Fred Nc
Clellan of the Mcclellan Paper Com,
pany, Minneapolis who acted as inn
promptu song leader. 1t was not long
oefore Mr.. Mcclellan had the rest OF
the banqueters inspired with some OF
his enthusiasm. At the close of the
meal candy" Rain potentate of Zu-
rah Temple Order of the Mystic
Shrine, was introduced, and on behalf
of the Northern Minnesota editors
presented Noble Harry Phillips, pres
ident of the association with a beauti-
full emblem of Shrinedom. 1t was
exceedingly well done by Mr.. RAIN
and while Harry is usually able to
take good care of himself on all oc-
casions he was so completely sur
prised and overwhelmed that when
called upon to respond he could only
say "Boys l thank YOU"

in a corking manner and the grand
finale II which he gave the address
of the somewhat famous Sam Clark
was "beaner."

space in his endeavor to build up
his community in moral and mater
ial way.
