The entertainment was handled very
nicely. A delicious luncheon was CIV
en- Friday noon at the Training School
for Girls, after which the visitors were
shown about the institutions cottages.
A talk on the great work the school is
doing was well given by Mrs. Mary

ent time and about a like number on
parole, only eight of whom have been
taken back the past year and three of
these were ILL., The editors were salts
fed that a great work was being done
at the school.
At six o'clock a fine banquet was
rendered the editors at the community
hall. Asa Wallace Of the Sank Centre
Herald was happy in the role of toast
master, the principal speakers (be-

EDITORS EXTENDED EVERY
COURTESY
Editor Asa Wallace of the Sank
n
Gopher Prairie entertained the editors
of the Northern Minnesota Association
at their winter meeting last week.
the largest winter meeting ever held
by this association. The editors were
given the use of a comfortable hall for
their meetings, were extended every
courtesy on a visit to the Home School
for Girls, and were accorded delight
in any way marred the pleasure of an
unusually pleasurable and profitable
meeting unless it were the plethora OF
alleged wit spilled at the banquet IN
relation to the Eighteenth Amend
ment. The good folk Of Sank Centre
might easily get the impression that
ninety per cent of the editors regarded
| the Eighteenth Amendment as joke,
ninety per cent of the editors in at
| tendance support the Eighteenth
amendment both personally and po-
| litically. The continual reiteratlon OF

ton by public speakers who are trying
| to say something funny and especially
| in post-prandial responses is getting
| to be a severe strain on courtesy ana

who regard themselves as pretty decent
citizens. Morris Tribune.
A SATISFYING BANQUET
The editors of Northern Minnesota
met in annual business session at
Sank Centre last Thursday, Friday and
| Saturday and about 20 members of the
Northern Minnesota Editorial Associa-
ton were in attendance. 1t was by far
the largest gathering of members OF
the association in the history of that
| Organization, which was started some
years ago for the purpose of uniting
the editors of this part of the state
more closely.
The editors assembled at Sank Cen
tre-famous for it's Main Street" and
Asa Wallace, the versatile editor of the
Sank Centre Herald-on Thursday af-
ternoon and evening. Friday forenoon
was devoted to registering and getting
acquainted, and the entire association
was taken out to the state training
school for girls for dinner Friday
noon. The dinner proved very en-
joyable affair and gave the editors
some insight to one of the state in
situations.
While the editors may be gluttons
for mental pabulum, they were able
to dispense with the discussion of
and enjoy banquet that was exceed
ingly satisfying to the inner man, as
well as joyous occasion. Editor Asa
Wallace acted as toastmaster and re-
vealed qualities of wit and eloquence
little suspected when one views his
stern exterior. The "piece- de -resis-
lance of the banquet was pike, not
the much touted Northern pike which

the genuine wall eyed pike. Edior
W. llace claimed he caught them all
himself, landing enough of various
sizes to enable him to pick out coup
lie of hundred Of just the right size
to fill the capacity of an ordinary coun-
try editor These pike were assisted
in their task of satisfying the editor
ial fraternity by all of the additional
gastronomic delights that could be
picked up in the establishments of
Main Street-Millaca Times.
EDITORS TAKE DAY OFF
Probably these annual gatherings of
newspaper men are no better and no
er business or professional group, but
the other groups haven't place to tell
about them in print, as editors have,
so their meetings pass into silence;
spread Ourselves over fair, white COL
umns and thus approach the stature of
the Near-GreatS; which is another
proof of the potency of newspapers as
advertising mediums.
The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association is made up of editors from
this part of the state They meet twice
a year, once in winter for papers, dis
cussions and business, once in the sum-
mer for an outing. Partly because
their interests and territory have much
the same problems, partly because they
are for the most part young men of
activity and ambition, the Northern
Minnesota meetings are attended by
every member who can get to them,
and are full of vigor and aliveness. The
boys" all revel in their two day vaca-
ton from routine. At home they are
staid and quiet and responsible mem
bers of the community. At "the meet
ing' they MARBLE in concert:
How dye do, Horace Cutten. how
dye do?
How dye do, Horace Gluten. how dye
do?
We're glad you're at convention,
What you did we needn't mention
But how dye do. Horace Cutten, how
dye dog"
which is sufficiently larky and idiotic
to command admiration. They sang it
to all the stars, beginning with Horace.
