THEY BREAK EVEN
Basket Ball Games Between Sank
Centre and io5s sfaiTic
a Stand-0ff

Friday the 23rd. should have proved
a hoodoo to either the two Sauk Cen
tire or Long Prairie basket ball teams
which clashed at the city hall last
week, but instead it was stand-off.
The boys team of the local school
won, 81 to 20, while the local girls
lost, 3 to 5. At the close Of the first
half the score i'm the boys game was
IL to 5, with the boys going strong.
The locals piled up 10 more tallies in
the second half, the visitors being
able TO score not more than Is. At
the close of the first half the score in
the girls game was tie, Ito 2. This
made. the second half quite exciting.
The visitors had the better of the ar
gument, however, scoring 3 points,
while the local maidens only scored
once. There was large and inter-
ested audience and the gate receipts
were $3.50. Friday of this week
there will be two games, the girls and
the boys of the Alexandria schools
coming down for contest.

SOME GOOD MUSIC

Rare Treat

:. ! =. -t s
The Kipp String Orchestra, COM
posed of A. e. Kipp of Minneapolis
and his three daughters, spent three
days in Sauk Centre during the past
week and delighted all. who heard
them. Er. Kipp is touring the state
in the. endeavor to interest public
school authorities in proposed legisla-
ftion which will, he believes, influence
the legislature to pass enactments
providing for the better teaching of
music in the public schools. The or
chestra gave an entertainment in the
high school room Saturday night to a
capacity house. The program was .ex-
cellent, consisting of violin solos,
duets and quartets. and piano solos.
The young ladies showed themselves
masters of their instruments and were
enthusiastically received, being en-
cored after each number. The high
school male quartet, through the
courtesy of Mr.. Kipp, was assigned a
place on the program and responded
to two encores. Many felt that,
though they were heartily applauded,
they should not have taken up Sc
much time, as it resulted in leaving
off the program a violoncello solo by
one of the Misses Kipp. The evening
was one enjoyed by all present.

Committee Meets Here and
Arranges Details

w. A. Boerger, county superinten-
dent of schools, visited Sank Centre
this week to assist the committee of
the Agricultural Society of Stearns
County in arranging for the cash
prizes offered school children of
Stearns county for potatoes to be ex-
hibited at the county fair here Sep
tember IL, 13, IA. Mr.. Boerger ar

BETTER SERVICE
Sunday Train is Likely to be
Placed on Cass Lake
Branch Soon

Better train service is promised on
the Cass Lake branch of the Great
Northern. III. A. Noble, general pas
senger agent of the road, has promised
to recommend that Sunday train be
put on i'm the immediate future.
This promise is the result of the
activity of the railroad committee of
the Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association. -Four years ago the
Great Northern Editorial Association,
composed of publishers of papers on
the Cass Lake branch, was organized
for the purpose of securing better
train service. The association pros
pered from the start and now en-
braces thirty counties and is known
as the Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association. This aggregation of live
wires has been s'plugging away" at
the railroad situation until finally a
promise has been secured as stated
above.
A railroad committee is one of the
standing committees of the associa-
tion. At the last annual business
meeting, held in Long Prairie in jan
uary, the new president, F. A. Dare
of the Walker Pilot, appointed on
that committee w. e. Verify of the
w a d a Pioneer-Journal; G. +.
Scheers of the Akeley Herald Tribune;
A. L. Sheets of the Todd County Ar
gus. During the meeting of the Min
nesota Editorial Association in Min
neapolis this month, President Dare,
together with the committee, called
on Mr.. Noble at the Great Northern
Offices in st. Paul, held an interview
with him and as result the promise
was made. There is every reason to
believe that the Sunday train will be
put on at an early date. This will be
of interest to Sauk Centre, which is
the southern terminus of the branch
line.

DOGS Poisoned

Some unknown person has been put
ting dog poison out with the result
that two valuable dogs, the property
of Geo. Fish and Ed Evans, have been
killed. Mr.. Fish found his bird dog
lying dead about half a block from
his home, one morning recently. Ed
Evans made asimilar discovery. Both
animals were highly priced by their
owners. Efforts are being put forth
to discover the miscreants. Dog pois-
oning is a crime punishable by i'm
prisonment.

MAXWELL, teacher of domestic science,
who presided over the meeting, called
UPON Mrs. a. Barto, president OF the
Gradatim Club, for remarks. Mrs.
Barto spoke briefly, laying stress up
on the Importance of cooperation OF
the women with the schools in giving
to the girls the kind of education
they need.
Miss Maxwell is endeavoring to
form an organization of Sank Centre
women to carry out the ideas of CO.
operation emphasized by Mrs. Barto.
This is likely to materialize in the
not distant future.
A very pleasing feature of the eve
ning's entertainment was the appear
ance of the high school male quartet,
which rendered three selections and
was compelled to respond to as many
enthusiastic encores. The Misses
Kipp also rendered selections on the
violin and piano that delighted their
hearers.
