TAKE TOWN BY STORM
Todd Comfy Fair Boosters From Long
Prairie to the Number of Nearly 100
Serenade Sank Centre Folks.

A booming crowd of boosters from
Long Todd" descended on Sank
Centre like wolf on the fold last
Thursday afternoon. They filled %
cars and brought the fine Long Prairie
Band along to furnish music.
e. M. Berg acted as Pathfinder and
the following cars we're in line: Peter
O. Scow with four occupants, E. M.
Berg two, Hon. w. e. Lee four,
G. w. Christies thee, G. F. Miller
five, E. A. Schenk five, Joseph Deush
five, August Stephan seven, A. e.
Minette four, Anton Johnson four,
N. G. Sheets five, DR.. B. w. Pratt
four, DR.. Kramer four, John Reichert
three, Paul Hausman four, Chas.
Hart six, Andrew Woodloef two and
George Rosch with four occupants.
Thescars parked at corners Of Main
and Third streets ana after few
selections by the band Hon. w. e.
Lee, standing on Lew Irish's dray
with an advertisement of the Stearns
County Fair in plain sight, unblush-
ingly declared that Todd county was
going to put NY the greatest county
fair ever. He boastingly declared that
Todd county produced the best butter
and the finest babies in the world but
forgot to add that as soon as those
babies arrived at years of discretion
most of them moved over into
StearnS county.
The Honorable gentleman demon
strated that he was no novice in the
gentle art of spelling" and glibly en-
umerated the attractions offered, in
terspercing his remarks with local
hits that caused roars of laughter and
applause.
Mr.. Lee guaranteed that for every
visitor Sank Centre sent to Long
Prairie they would seed two to the
Stearns county fair. Our citizens are
preparing TO accept this offer and the
chances are that if Long Prairie
makes good they will have to import
some population.
The managers of the Todd county
Fair have a reputation for doing
things and the Herald can assure the
people of Sank Centre and vicinity
that the Fair held at Long Prairie
Sept. 10th, 18th and 18th will be we'll
worth visiting.
Peter Scow the genial clerk of
court made the rounds of twenty bus
mess houses in thirty seconds and
talked Todd county Fair two full
minutes at each place.
L. M. Davis the Long Prairie attor-
ney informed a representative Of the
Herald that he sold his fine stock
farm as direct result of the trip of
the Minnesota Exhibit Car through
Illinois last winter.
All the time the Hon. w. e. Lee
was not speechifying on the glories Of
the Todd county fair he kept both
hands busy greeting friends and ac-
quaintances.
Mr.. Sheets the pencil pusher of the
Argus who wears his Sunday smile
every day in the week worked the
Aforesaid smile overtime while in the
city.

LOCATES AT WORTHINGTON
A. M. Welles, Former Editor of Herald
Buys the Globe, Mobiles County's
Leading Newspaper

The many friends of A. M. Welles,
particularly those in Sank Centre
will be interested in the announce
ment that the former editor of the
Herald has purchased the Worthing-
ton Globe, the leading newspaper of
Mobiles county, in the Southwestern
part of the state.
The negotiations have been pending
for several weeks. The Sank Gen.
tire man closed up the details and took
the paper over the first of the week
and will make his bow to the Globe
family of readers in the current is
sue.
The Globe has always been a
staunch republican paper, published
in a republican community. The
people of Mobiles county will find Mr..
Welles q finished newspaper writer
and high-grade citizen. He has had
ample experience in the journalistic
field to give the people Of the tizr1y-
ing city OF W0rthington a splendid
paper. The city has nearly 5000 pop
ulation, Is the county seat and has
another paper. The Globe plant Is
one of the most complete to be found
in any country shop in the state, and
the Herald joins the gentleman's
other friends, newspaper and other
wise, in hoping that his new venture
will yield him a large return on his
Investment and energy.
If the people Of Worthington will
do their part Mr.. Welles will do the
rest.

There has been some discussion IS
to the right Of the Sank Centre High
School TO impose charge for tuition
for pupils attending from outside dis
tricts. There is no question but tho
district has this right. The follow
ing is a brief synopsis of the law on
this subject:
"Any school in the state giving i'm
struction in agriculture, manu- IL
training and domestic science cook
ing and sewing may make charge
Of $3.50 per month for each pupil AZ
tending from outside districts and
the same shall be a legal chargs
against the district from which the
pupils attend and said amount shall
be paid.into the treasury of the school
district where the pupils attend
school and receive instruction
The Supreme Court sustained this
law in case taken up from the VIII
lage of Hector in Renville county.
This charge is not made against
the parents of the children attending
but against the district from which
the pupil attends and is not added to
the compensation of the teachers but
goes into the common fund of the
district where the pupils attends.
The rural districts consolidated
with the Sank Centre school are, of
course, exempt from this charge.
This is state law and can not b
changed in any way by the action OF
local school boards. A copy of the
law and the supreme court decision
in the Hector case can be seen at the
Office of Superintendent Aygarn.
During the past summer the school
board caused a modern ventilation
system to be installed in the grade
building to meet the state board re-
quirements which puts the Sank Gem
tire schools in the class A schools
of the state, and carries with it an an
nual appropriation $1,000 in state aid

Council. which was to have been held
last night, to pass on the proposed
sewer contract with Jersey City. was
abandoned and the sewer subject will

were published in The Star few days
ago. The essential points are that
Jersey City will agree TO construct the
trunk line sewer from Dover TO n
point below the storage reservoirs,
near Boonton, and will there construct
u disposal plant.
Both are to be constructed at Jer-
sey City's expense and the latter mu-
nicipality agrees to maintain both for
a period of forty years and as much
longer as the Rockaway river water is
used for drinking II at any me
after the expiration of forty years the
water is abandoned for domestic pur
poses, the trunk sewer and disposal
plant are to revert, without cost, to
the towns eewering into 1t. At pres
ent this will include Dover Rockaway
and Boonton.
The sewer question in Dover he's
been continuous program for ten
years or moro and on several different
occasions tentative agreements with
Jersey City have been made, but they
never passed beyond the tentative
stage. =

Summit Council to Grant
the Tri-C0unty Power Go.
Trackless Trolley Right
Ispecial to the Newark star.I

SUMMIT, Dec. 2.-Members of the
Common Council, in special confer
ence yesterday, decided to pass the
ordinance granting a franchise to the
Tri-County Power Company for the
construction OF the trackless trolley
system through this place. The ordi-
nance will come up for first read
ing at the regular session Of the
Council tomorrow night, and after
being passed will be submitted to the
company for acceptance.
The prevalent opinion seems to be
that the company will reject the pro-
posal of the Council. Rumors to that
effect have been circulating ever
since the Council refused the request
of the company for fifty-year lease.
The ordinance, as Il will be passed
tomorrow. provides for q lease Of
only fifteen years.
Another objection by the company
is said to be against the franchise
tax, which will compel It to pay 5000
at the end of the first three years
and like amount at the end of
every successive three years until
the expiration OF the fifteen-year
term.

SUMMIT, Dec. 2.-The question of
providing lunch In the schools was
discussed at q meeting OF the Board
of Education last night but no action
was taken.
President Cromwell stated that
Miss Bessie Hatch, school nurse and
attendance officer. had found cases
where children had been sent to
school with nothing more for their
breakfast than a cup of coffee.
In other cases 1t had been found
that children living a distance from
school and who mad been given money
by their parents to purchase lunch
usua ly bought pie or cake instead of
more substantial food. School Super
intendent Clinton S. Marsh believed
the plan of supplying a lunch to the
pupils could be carried out on q pay
ing basis.
From the enrolment and attendance
figures submitted by Mr. Marsh 1t
appears that the gain In pupils in the
schools this year thus far lsa only
about one-half of that of former
school years. The total registration
is 1887, with an average attendance
of 1.153 or an increase over the same
