liners within the membership of
the Northern Association. During

Owls orchestra furnished pro-
gram of snappy music.
The "Herald Angels" quartet
was first called upon to its stuff.
The musical ability displayed was
a happy revelation. The first song
"The Old Printing uy1ce Towel"
was unusually appropriate, and
called for an encore. The person
mel of this clever quartet is: Newell
Barnard, reporter; Clyde Silver,
floorman; Floyd Clark, machine OPP
orator; Ed l.. Rattle, associate edi-
tor. Mrs. Floyd Clark played the
accompaniment. The writer was
proud of his gang.

an old Long Prairie boy, cleverly
and briefly responded, recalling he

tire and that he was always glad of
an opportunity to visit in this city.
Lawrence Rossman, of the Grand
Rapids Herald, and the next presi-
dent of the Minnesota Editorial AS
ISOLATION, reviewed the history of

President of the State Associa-
ton, E. K. Whiting, referred to the
splendid entertainment accorded
the editors by Mrs. Stewart at the
Home School for Girls; he was al
ways delighted, he said to visit
Sank Centre. Mr.. Whiting is clos

terpieces Of their kind.
Rudolph Lee, editor of the Long
Prairie Leader, was the concluding
speaker on the program. The
POSTMASTER in introducing Mr.. Lee
said he had asked him to explain
to the Sank Centre businessmen
present the Minnesota Plan of
Farm Relief sponsored by the rural
editors of the state. In a 15-min-
ute talk Mr.. Lee demonstrated the
practicability of the plan, showing
that an increased tariff on farm
products would bring the relief by
putting the agriculturist in a posi-
ton to help himself. He stated
that in 1927 imports of farm pro-
Iducts that could be raised in this
country exceeded $2,00O,0OO,OOO
"A proper tariff would cause much
of this produce TO he raised on
wheat and other lands and would
practically do away with SURPRISES
without decreasing the acreage.
The Sank Centre business and
s professional men co-operated with
3 the Herald in splendid shape by
attending the banquet in large
& numbers.
s. The newspaper men are delight
ed with the hospitality of Sank
Centre citizens. The slight over
head charged the business men for
dinner more than paid the expens-
es of the convention, a balance of
1925 being turned back into the
Community Club treasury.
