Makes Short Visit In City
Active Dirt Farmer Candidate for
Governor Made Very Favorable
Impression

Dairy and Food Commissioner

he had addressed a large group of

commissioner complete under
standing of the problems which ac-
tually confront the farmers of Min
nesota.
The gentleman is one Of <the Re-
publican candidates for the nomin-
alton as governor at the June pri-
maries. In Mr.. Holmberg the till
ers of the soil have an opportunity
for the first time in many years to
elect one of their own as chief ex-
ecutive of the state. While the
other candidates of all parties have
been cooling their heels against
office furniture Nate Holmberg has
been having experience of wrest-
ling with the farmers problems.
He first entered public life 25
years ago as a member of the low
er house Of the Minnesota legisla-
ture. He was elected to the State
Senate where he served for eight
years prior to becoming dairy and
food commissioner. His legisla-
tive experience gave him wide
knowledge of the states CONNER

has a fine family.
During his short stay in this
city Monday he had the opportun-
ity of meeting up with a number of

Mr.. Holmberg is the Republican

Arabian Oasis, Was Unique
and Delightful

Their Ladies and Invited
Guests Applauded

Saturday evening, May 10 the
Junior Class of the Sank Centre
High School entertained the Senior
class, members of the School Board
and their wives, and the members
of the high school faculty at their
annual banquet and dance.
This spring frolic was held in
the Community Club rooms which
were artistically transformed into
an Arabian desert scene. The two
reception rooms were beautifully
arranged for comfort and present
ed all of the refreshing merits of
an oasis.
Superintendent and Mrs. Falk led
the Grand March into the banquet
hall, where the guests found at
tractively arranged tables within
the complete enclosure of a bright
ly colored desert tent. The novel
effect of desert tent, shaded lights,
palm trees, camels, and the soft
music of the orchestra in an ad-
joining room was most delightful.
The girls of Miss Prices Fresh
men Home Economics class were
appropriately dressed in Arabian
costumes, and as they deity moved
among the tables one could easily
imagine himself in an oriental land.
They served:
Helva
Gevetch-Pilaff
Rahat locum-Ehmet- Olibab
Ell Saltib-Kihbab
r Soo-Freeze-Leban
's. Mocha
FruitiSh

dinner).
The two classes were likened to
two caravans travelling along the
same route, Education, and seeking
knowledge within the gates of the
city of Mecca. While encamping
near the I, ell of Hamur, the jun
iors offered to break the monotony
of the journey with story-song-
and dance.
Dick Borgmann, Sheik of the
Junior Tribe of Araby, in the ca
pacity of POSTMASTER, welcomed the
far distant tribe of Kibal to which
Sheik O'Gara responded. An Irak
dancer ElDeva Long entertained
the guests. A group of rift-riders,
Dorothy Walker, Winnifred Gen
now, Edwina Miller, Jack Hansen,
and Harold Rogers presented a
dramatic tazio-"The Counting of
Sofapillo." The silhouette panto-
mine "Pyramus and Thisbe" was
enacted by Jane Strebel, Clarence
Swift, Jerome Book, and Willis
Dahlem. Kassim Rogers of yodel-
ing fame, sang several songs of
the Desert. Then Ali Ben Strebel,
Prince of tribe which had al
ready attained knowledge, and is
striving for Nirvana, chased all
sorrows away. And Rajah Falk,
Chief of a famed but far distant
tribe gave words of wisdom and de-
light to his eager listeners.
At the conclusion of the program
many guests enjoyed dancing in
the desert tent while others enjoy
ed cards on the oasis.
The arrangements for this clever
and unique party were in charge Of
Miss Dorothy Wilson, advisor Of
the Junior class.
