A Brilliant Social Event At Turner Hall
A social ball hosted by Sioux Lodge No. 101 Knights of Pythias at Turner Hall Saturday evening drew a well dressed crowd. Dancing began at nine with Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Alwin leading the grand march, followed by an elaborate supper at 11:30. A gramophone provided music between dances, and numerous ladies displayed elegant gowns. The Benson Monitor notes the community’s concern over wheat prices, contrasting lavish social spending with farmers’ dependence on wheat income amid low prices.
