BAND CONCERT AR.
TISTIC SUCCESS
PROGRAM GIVEN BY LOCAL AR
lists THURSDAY EVENING
VERY ENJOYABLE.
SMALL CROWD IN ATTENDANCE
THE VOCAL WORK OF MRS. w. F.
SANDERSON A FEATURE
OF THE OCCASION.

The popular concert given by the
Sank Centre band at the Caughren
Theatre Thursday evening of last
week was an artistic success, but the
public did not turn out in a manner
that is very encouraging to the local
artists.
Director Lamb and the boys are
working hard to give the city cred
liable organization. Recently the
band purchased a couple of instru-
ments for the band which automati-
cally became the property of the city.
The purpose of this concert was to
raise the funds with which to pay for
the instruments, but the net proceeds
were rank disappointment.
The Herald is firmly convinced that
the CITIZENS of Sank Centre are proud
of the local band, and can only ac-
count for the small attendance be-
cause the concert was poorly adver-
tised and that it was put on at a
season when everyone was extreme
ly busy. 1t has been suggested by
several that the boys repeat the con-
cert about the middle f January and
a strong attempt will be made to fill
the theatre for them.
Every selection by the band was
splendidly rendered and the program
was varied enough to suit all tastes.
One of the very enjoyable features
was the solo work of Mrs. w. F. San
derson who sang those two wonderful
ly beautiful Scotch ballads: "Annie
Laurie" and Comm Thro' The Rye"
in a manner that demonstrated that
she not only has a splendid voice, but
a clever conception of her art: It was
the first time that many had had the
opportunity of hearing the lady in
this line of work and those present
were profuse in favorable comment.
The band accompaniment for the
songs was arranged by Director H. L.
Lamb.

shut down the mill without stopping
the DYNAMO.

the dynamo.
AS arranged before it was necessary
to stop both the mill and dynamo and
throw off the mill drive belt; this
meant that the town would be in dark
ness for few minutes whenever the
mill was shut down. The present sys-
TEN also provides for continuous cur
rent even if an accident should happen
to the steam engine; in this case the
power would be supplied by two water
wheels. The large wheel that form
erly drove the machinery used in mil
ling is not powerful enough to carry
the load since the mill was enlarged
and has been coupled with the one
formerly used to run the dynamo in
emergencies. These two wheels,
coupled together, transmit the power
over the jack-shaft ordinarily used
to driy the flour producing end of
the establishment, and from there tc
the shaft carrying the pulley furnish
ing the power to drive the dynamo,
and the cutoff between the 5 inch and
the u inch shafts will allow the lat.
ter to run free of the steam engine
| This means that when the engine is
shut down to clean or oil, or in case
of break that the electric light SER
vice will not be impaired. One water
wheel would furnish enough power till
the peak of the load comes on, but the
two wheels will furnish enough pow
or tO make SI1ro nrOnocitiop If fbo
current question.
The improvement supplies two units
for furnishing electricity, with excep-
ton of the dynamo and this is ground
ed in such way that it is believed to
be immune from lightning, which is
the only element of danger.
The milling company are to be COM
plimented on their enterprise in i'm
proving their equipment which was
done at cost of about 5000, besides
the labor involved.

INTERESTING FEATURE

Manager Dubeau OF the Caughren
Theatre has added very interesting
feature to his picture program, that
of showing the animated Picture
Series each Monday evening in con-
nection with "Lucile Love" series. No
town in the state has an opportunity
of enjoying higher grade of film
entertainments than those provided
by Mr.. Dubeau. The serial stories,
"The Trey O'Hearts, and "Lucile
Love" are attracting increasing num-
bers each evening they appear, and
the features on other evenings are
high grade. Mr.. Debeau has made ar
rangements to present "The Master
Key" series Immediately following the
conclusion Of the '"Trey O'Hearts"
which runs for four more weeks.

YOUNG MATRON CALLED
Mrs. Emelic Harrington Died Sunday
After a Short Illness Burial
at st. Cloud.

Mrs Emile Harrington, bride of a
year, and wife of r. Harrington, head
of the farm department at the Home
School for Girls, died Sunday after
noon, after a short illness Of heart
failure.
The deceased had been in delicate
health for some time, and suffered a
severe attack of heart failure about
two weeks before her death, but raj
lied. The heart-broken husband, the
sorrowing mother and sister, Miss
Katherine Engel, were at the bedside
when the Grim Reaper called.
Miss Emelie Engel was born at St.
Cloud about 80 years ago and grew to
womanhood in that city. About two
and a half years ago she became asso-
ciated with the Home School for Girls
in the business department. An at
tachment between her and the sturdy
young farmer in charge of the school
sprung up and eliminated in their
marriage in st. Cloud, Jan. 81, 1914.
Those who enjoyed her acquaintance
speak in the highest terms of the
many womanly attributes. Following
her marriage she continued her office
work until early in the fall of the
present year.
The remains were taken to st.
Cloud Monday noon, and the funeral
was held at the Catholic Cathedral in
that city Wednesday morning at nine
o'clock. Besides the husband, the mo-
Their and two brothers and two sisters,
are the immediate relatives left to
mourn.

SPECIAL STUDY OF
GEORGIA MARKET
PRODUCTS ARE
TO BE MARKETER VIA PAR
GEL POST.

Atlanta, March 90 Guy Fitzpatrick,
representative Of the new L. S. divis
ion OF markets, has come to Atlanta
to make special study of the market
ing Of agricultural products in this
territory, along the lines outlined by
United States Senator @Hoke Smith
in his bill which has now become a
law.
No similar investigation is being
made anywhere else in the United
States, and it is notable distinction
that the first practical demonstration
Of the effectiveness of the parcels post
in the bringing the producer and con-
sumner closer together is to be made
n Georgia
Senator Smith, who has taken an
active and leading part in the devel-
opment both Of the parcels post and
the agricultural extension measure,
is reported to be greatly pleased that
this important investigation is too be
made in this state. The work will
cover IA big area in Georgia, extending
so miles in every direction around
Atlanta.
1t is coincidence that the divis
ion of markets was originated in "a
| bill by Senator Smith and that he and
Senator Bourne working together plan
ned the zone system of rates for par.
GELS post instead OF the flat twelve
cent rate which was in the bill when
1t was passed by the senate.
Senator Smiths central idea has
been to utilize the rural route service
and short railroad haul to put the far.
mer in touch with ais nearby town
and city market so that he could sell
his product
| Senator smith says that he expects
to see the day, not very far in the
future, when most of the rural free
routes will be supplied with automo.
bile express trucks handling produce
for the farmers. and putting them in
immediate touch with thu city Gus
toners.
