BLOOD TRANSMISSION
FAILS TO SAVE GIRL,
CLERK TO REP. LEE

WASHINGTON, July 20 Blood from
her brothers veins was transfused into
her own by surgeons yesterday in a
futile effort to save the life of Miss
Jean Searles. of Vicksburg, Miss, sec
rotary to Representative Gordon Lee, of
Georgia.
Miss Searles was taken i'll week
ago, and during this time had lost a
large quantity Of blood. The surgeons
determined two days ago that she would
be unable to live without a fresh supply
of blood Her brother, Thomas Searles,
volunteered, and permitted the sur
geons to open his own veins.
The effect was only temporary, how
ever. and was offset by repeated hem
orrhages. She died a few hours later.

Roy Johnson, known about town as

in the Stearns county Jail at ST.

him to the county Jail at ST. Cloud on

''Schutzie" has no one but himself
to blame for his predictament. The

The prisoner had an accomplice who

IN DURANGO Mf|FINF INSTITUT ION
St. Johns University at College,
Vile Has Great Plant
WELL WORTH SEEING
Founded by BenediCtine Fathers in
1864, 1t Has Grown to Mag
nifiCent Proportions

Did you ever visit ST. Johns Uni
versity at Collegeville? If not you
have missed an opportunity well
worth embracing.
Founded in 1861 by band of half a
dozen Benedictine Fathers, in the
wilds of the then new state of Mime
sofa, the institution has grown to
magnificent proportions. 1t now po-
sesses plant that could not be du-
plicated for million dollars.
Those pioneers of the Order of ST.
Benedict builded better than they
knew. One only of them is now alive,
and enfeebled with age and the loss Of
his eyesighJ, he lives at tie institu-
ton calmly waiting the summons to
his eternal reward The privations
endured by him and his fellow labor
ors have reached their full fruition,
and it must be with pride that he re-
fleets that he was factor in the es-
tablishment of so fine an institution.
The location of St. Johns University
is ideal. Situated. on high ground above
h e beautiful Lake St. Louis,
the institution commands view un-
surpassed anywhere in this part of the
country. The buildings are ample,
modern and finely adapted to the pur.
pose to which they are devoted. The
University and it's attendent activi.
ties comprise small city. There
is community numbering not less
than five hundred souls during the
school year. Eighty Benedictine
Fathers acknowledge the place as
their home. The enrolment of the
school for the year just closing is 44O
The attendance during the spring
term is acout 325. In addition there
is convent where live a company OF
Benedictine Sisters who look after the
culinary arrangements of the institu-
tion.
The grounds are beautifully laid
out. Fine shade trees, cultivated
flowers, 'graveled walks, everything
that tends to make place an ideal re-
treat.
Recently, in company with Prof
NJ. D. Aygarn, and with Rev. A. Art
pastor of st. Paul's Catholic church
as chaperon, the publisher of The Her
aid visited this institution and spent
part of delightful day there. The
trip was made by automobile over bad
roads, but with Tom Smith as chauf
fer the party came through safely
without mishap.
Upon arrival at the institution the
visitors were shown into the reception
room by an aged custodian. Shortly
afterwards entered Father John with
a hearty welcome. Father John is q
perfect specimen of the jolly, good
natured, hospitable Friar. He is
portly, amiable, genial, sociable, his
personality exuding hospitality and
comradeship from every pore. II
