NEARING TIE End
hiqh School Seniors About Ready
to Step Down and Out
ONLY A FEW DAYS LEFT
PROGRAM of Commencement Week
Beqins With BaCCaIaurate Ser
mon Sunday Evening

The class or w, Sauk Centre
High school, is about ready to make
it's parting bow to the public.
All that now remains for the
eighteen young people composing
that body is to listen to the bacca-
laureate sermon next Sunday evening,
get it's best clothes on and appear on
the stage in a blaze of glory Friday
evening of next week when the grand
finale is scheduled to take place.
Following the custom of High
schools of late years the Board OF
Education has decreed that the main
feature of the evening of commence
ment shall be an address by some able
speaker. The class is to be on exhl-
bition, but only two members thereof
,do any talking; they're the salutat-
orian and the valedictorian. The ad-
dress this year is to be given by Ed
win Reed, professor of English in the
Moorbead Normal school. Prof Reed
.is said to be an able teacher and a
fine speaker.
The commencement exercises will
take place In the opera house; the
.baccalaureate sermon will be preach
ed by Rev. J. S. Kingan at the
Methoaist church Sunday evening.
Last Friday evening occurred the
last formal society social function
in which the class of '07 will partici-
pate. It was the annual banquet
rendered the seniors by the Juniors.
This was a very pleasant function and
took place at the Palmer house. An
elegant repast was served at $3.50.
Foster Woodbury., president OF the
Junior class. delivered the address OF
welcome and Frank Robischon, presi-
dent of the Seniors. responded. Both
young gentlemen did themselves
credit. The place cards at the plates
we're hand painted in water colors, the
handiwork of the seventh grace
under the able direction OF their
teacher, Miss Stanley.

CRITIClSES
MINNEAPOLIS
St. Cloud Times Accuses the Mill
City of Showing the CharaC-
terlstiCS Of a Hog

In it's last Issue Tha Herald referred
10 the "free fare" offer of Minneap-
oils retailers for the current week,
and advised people who are looking
for real bargains to do their trading
at home. That this stand for home
industries is appreciated by local
trades people is evidenced by the
many warm Communications that have
come to The Herald. The st. Cloud
Times, following The Herald's lead,
rises to make some remarks on the
subject, The Times goes even farther
and urges retaliation by, advising the
public to apatronize ST.. Paul. While
this radical move may not be just the
thing, yet those utterances show That
people are doing some thinking. The
Times iitterances was in the form of
an editorial under the capuon
:" MINNEAPOLIS HOGGISHNESS, !"
and was printed on Tuesday. Here
it is: .e p
The prosperity of the States

pends in a marked degree upqp
the success of its merchants.
II they are patronized by their
home people, and the surround
ing farming communities, they
are enabled to employ more
help, erect more and better
buildings, increase. the taxable
property (and thus aid in the ?
expense of county and municipal
government), and generally con-
tribute towards the upbuilding Of
their towns. For this reason,
q

With selfshness that is mar
row and shortsighted; the retail
dealers Of Minneapolis have COM
bined to make war on country
merchants. They are Offering
bribes to people outside the Four
City to go there to do their trad
ing. We do not intend to explain
or advertise their mean method,
which is a delusion and a snare!
We only speak of it to say that as
Minneapolis has declared war on
outside merchants, outside people
should retaliate by cutting Min
neapolis "off their visiting list"
st. Paul is not engaged in at
tempting to cripple our local and
country merchants, and, there
fore. if any of our people cannot
find what they want at home, go
to st. Paul for it. Give Mime

PUBLIC library
Board Takes Action About Nature
of Books to be Bought
ASKS FOR OPINIONS
Calls on Citizens to Read Books and
Give Their Estimate of Them
For Publication

Inc LuuIdIy OOdIu uCSlISS W nave
the public pass upon the nature of the
books purchased. They want to
place in the library only those works
which are the best for the patrons Of
the institution. Not that they set
themselves up as knowing more than
anybody else in town; not that. But
it is a well known fact that there are
a good many books published nova
days which are at least questionable.
Some of these volumes masquerade
under names and are backed by
such publishers that they are taken
without question. What the board
desires is to ascertain the real value
of such works.
With this end in view the board, at
it's last meeting, decided to call on a
number of well known citizens to
take some Of the books recently pur-
chased, read them critically AMI
write their estimate of them. HALF q
dozen works were selected and have
already been given out for this pur-
pose. Consequently six citizens of
Sank Centre are now wrestling with
the problem in question. When their
opinions are formed they will be
handed the board for publication in
The Herald. BY this means the
board hopes to arrive at a conclusion
that will be of value both to the IL
brary and to the public.
The board, at it's last meeting, also
appointed a committee. to confer
with the librarian relative to opening
the library oftener for the loaning of
books. A batch of current bills was
allowed.
Following is a list of books recently
purchased, for the library:
The Silver Maple Keith.
