new BUSINESS
Outside Capital Becoming Interested
in Sank Centre as a Center for
Tile Industry. q,

At Friday evenings meeting of the
Commercial Club Secretary Strebel
read communications from several
people who are interested in the man
ufacture of tile and drain pipes.
The letters were in response to LETT
tiers written by the secretary calling
attention to the fact that Sank Centre
presented splendid opportunity for
the establishment Of a cement tile
plant. One party who is familiar with
soil conditions in this immediate ter
ritory insisted that the most feasible
plan would be to establish plant for
the manufacture Of clay thing.
Several of the gentlemen indicate
ed by their correspondence that they
would visit Sank Centre shortly and
go over the situation. Acting Presi-
dent Wallace appointed L. w. Gin
gerry, ]. F. Cooper and Mayor McGib-
bon as committe from the CONNER
cial Club to confer with the tile men
and shom them the advantages, Sank
Centre held out for the establishment
of plants of this character.

COMBATING THE FLY.

Until quite recently we have been
content simply to keep flies out by
means of screens on windows and
have done little or nothing to prevent
their increase.
A stable should not be built near ,
dwelling house and manure should not
be allowed to accumulate. Keep the
manure covered or in dark place Il
possible until removed. If not pos
sible to do this the hauling away of
manure every few days and spreading
it over the field where it will dry, will
lessen the fly evil. Spraying manure
pile with poison or other liquid is not
practical. Keep your premises clean.
as free as possible from filth of all
kinds-slop, water, garbage, and ref
use heaps. If you live in town and
your neighbor allows such nuisances
upon his premises, complain to your
board of health. Numerous other
methods of combating flies are stated
in Extension Bulletin 43 entitled Flies
anG Their Control.-F. /. Washburn,

COW EATS DYNAMITE
And Stone Workers Naturally Give
Animal Wide Berth After the

A cow that strayed into the Fred
Miller stone quarry near Sank Rapids,
Mimi. was given respectful right-of-
way yesterday when it was discovered
the gentle bovine had lunched upon
a couple of sticks of dynamite. A crew
of men at work blasting carefully
placed few sticks of the explosive
in a brush thicket to insure against
any accident which might ensue
should the unstable material fall into
the hands of inquisitive youths while
the attention of the workmen was con-
centrated upon drilling. A SOULFUL

sticks and satisfedly nibbled at the
toothsome morsels until they had dis
appeared.

At the meeting of the Sank Centre
Commercial Club Friday evening Of
last week the question of maintaining
the local band was brought up for
consideration.
The members present felt that the
city could not afford to be without a
creditable musical organization, and
they also felt that the city as whole
should pay for the expense of main
tanning the band.
1t was stated that if an income of
$50 per month was provided for main
tenance and assistance in securing in
struments furnished that DIR. III. L.
Lamb had consented to take the di-
rectorship of the organization.
Mr.. Gingery stated that he thought
the matter should BE- called to the at

the seekly concerts should start inn
mediately from the fact that we are
right now in the midst OF the touring
season. Mayor McGibbon stated that
he would call special meeting Of the
council to hear the recommendations
of the Commercial Club as soon as

mony and that it will be great

James A. Caughren, Sank Centres
capitalist and wide-a-wake citizen, re-
turned Tuesday evening from several
weeks spent at the Battle Greek San

health if his personal appearance is
indicative of his condition. The gen.

UNIVERSITY WEEK
FOR NEXT YEAR
COMMERCIAL CLUB OFFICERS
CLOSE WITH MIR. SCOTT
FOR 1915.
Will BE Held EARLY In JUNE
SPLENDID CLASS OF ATTRAC-
TIONS WILL FILL SIX CON-
SECUTIVE DAYS.

The question of whether or not the
Sank Centre Commercial Club would
go back of a Chautauqua or "Univer-
sity Week" series of entertainments
for 1915 was fully discussed at the
last regular meeting of the Club.
Mr.. Scott, head of the music de-
partment of the State University was
on hand and explained somewhat in
detail the plan under which the series
of entertainments put out by the Elk
tension Bureau worked.
Secretary Strebel had letters from
a number of other towns where Uni
versity Week had been given in the
past and without exception they were
given the highest possible endorse
ment. Sank Centre had taste of the
quality of the class of entertainment
provided by this Extension Bureau In
the series of entertainments given I'M
der the auspicies of the Commercial
Club last winter. Features of the
series of University Week will be
dramas presented by the Agricultural
students and concerts by the Young
Mems and Young Ladies Glee Clubs.
Several orators of national reputation
will also be on the program.
This series of entertainments will
be given in the new Caughren Theater
andthe entire expense of the club will
be less than $40O. All receipts go to
the Club. This new arrangement will
make it possible to offer season tick
cts for sale at price much less than
the Chautauqua and there will be sew
eral more entertainments. 1t is prob
able that the afternoon entertain
ments will be absolutely free OF
charge. The details of course will be
worked out next spring.
Of course the booking Of "Univer-
sity Week" means that there will not
be a Chautauqua in Sank Centre next
year. Should the university Week"
not prove satisfactory the Chautauqua
will be taken up again in 1916.

PLEASANT FUNCTION
The Comptons of Sank Centre Attend
Enjoyable Function in Mime
apOlis Last Week.

Something like 60 years ago Mr..
and Mrs. Wheeler settled in Medford,
Steele county, Minnesota, coming
from Vermont. They raised family
of three girls and three boys who
married and scattered abroad and had
families Of their own.
Sometime ago the different MEM
bers of the family through CORES
pondence one with another suggested
the idea of family reunion. The
proposition met with favor and on
Saturday of last week the first re-
union was held at Lake Harriet, near
Minneapolis.
The members Of the family present
were: E. E. Compton, wife and daugh-
ter Ruth, Sank, Centre; II. F. Comp
ton, Oaklee, Mimi; E. L. Barlow, wife
and daughters, Wilma and Frances,
Chester, Iowa; Alice Gilman, Med
ford, Mimi; Pearl Hunkins, Pierre, 5.

Minneapolis; j. F. Curtess and wife
and Eva Barlow, st. Paul; M. B. Me-
Mel, wife and daughters, Edith, Ma
bel and Ethel, Minneapolis; o. H.
Blake, st. Paul.
One peculiar feature of this reun-
ion was that although it was a reun-
ion of the wheeler" family no on.
by the name of wheeler" was pres
ent. 1t was the first time that many
of the relatives lad ever met each
other and the day was spent in get
ting acquainted and devouring one OF
the wheeler" picnic dinners, famous
since the days Of the Revolutionary
War.
A permanent organization was af-
fected with E. E. Compton of this city
as President and Pearl Hunkins Of
Pierre, S. D., IS Secretary, and it wa.
decided to have another reunion in
Sank Centre in June 1915.
It was suggested that the office Of
treasurer be created and combined
with that of President, but no one
favored this proposition except Elmer
and it was unanimously voted down
and it was further decided that each
member should act as his own treas
urer.

FOUND HAPPINESS IN CHRIST
Early Followers of the Saviour Looked
to Assured Victory Over Evil, and
They Achieved 1t.

With "the sentence of death in
themselves" the early Christians faced
the world, and d'astonished it by more
than their "stubbornness." They were
the most essentially happy people of
the day-Jesus was their hope, their
sufficiency was of God, their names
were written in heaven, they were full
of love for all men-they had "be
come little children" as Jesus put it.,
glad and natural. Jesus brought them
into a new world Of possibilities. A
conduct that ancient moralists dared
not ask, the character of Jesus sug-
gested. and the love Of Jesus made ac-
tual. Il can do all things" said Paul.

locked to assured victory over evil
and they achieved it. This is the VIC
tory that has overcome the world

is heard in their words. Stoicism was
never essentially musical" Epicetus
announces hymn to Zeus, but he
never starts the tune. Over and over
again there is a sound OF singing in
Pau!-as in the eighth chapter OF
Romans and the thirteenth of First
Corinthians. and it repeats itself.
The Holy Spirit was glad spirit, and
gladness-joy in the Holy Spirit-was
the secret of Christian morality.
