Mr.. HARRISON RETIRES
West Central Minnesota Development
Association Accepts His Resigna-
tion.-SuccessOr Not Chosen

The directors of the West Central
Development Association met at Nor
ris Friday of last week, and cleaned
up the business for the year. M. E.
Harrison, who has been the secretary
and active head of the association
since its organization, rendered his
resignation. The gentleman has not
been able to put himself in close touch
with rural conditions. He is a high
grade publicity man, but his exper-
fence has been in the larger centers of
population. Under the circumstances
he felt it his duty to tender his resig-
nation which was accepted to take eff
feet Immediately Among other things
the board decided was to put the XII
bosh on all "Queen" contests in the
future and devote the energies of the
society to developing this portion of
Minnesota. #. il.
Ortonville had a representative on
hand to bid for the next corn and al
falfa show. They made very flat
tering proposition and the board by
unanimous vote decided to hold next
years show in that city.
The directors were given splendid
banquet by the live ones of Morris at
the Merchants Hotel in the evening.
Director Ben Dubois of Sank Centre
was in attendance.

A LIVE QUESTION
Commercial Club Discusses the Advis.
ability of Oiling Business Streets
of Sank Centre.

The Sank Centre Commercial Club
held o largely attended meeting Fri
day svening of last week. The block
man for the Standard Oil Company
attended the meeting and explained in
detail the advantages to be derived by
using oil on the business streets in
stead of water for sprinkling. He
claimed that if their road oil was
properly applied once in the spring
and again in the fall it would carry
the streets through the season in good
shape, and that the second and fol-
lowing years less oil would be requir-
ed.
It was stated that the city council
was considering the proposition of
submitting an amendment to the city
charter to the people which if adopt
ed would empower the council to do
this work and charge the same to the
AUDITING property benefited. A mo-
ton was passey Erecting the chair to
appoint committee of three to wait
upon the coQLct and urge them to
take the necessary steps to have such
amendment madc. The committee
consists of DR.. Hennemann, w. o. p.
Hilsdale and V. G. Wedge.
The social committee consisting of
DR.. Hennemana, II. F. Sanderson and
A. F. Strebel recommended that the
members of the club and their ladies
be entertained some evening in the
near future, FIRST by all assembling at
the club rooms md attending the
Caughren in BODY and later to re-
turn to the eli rooms for light re-
freshments, carls and dancing. The
report was " nously adopted and

Friday evening of last week the

attended special matinee. Mr.. Du-

of the Commercial club who were I'M
able to witness the earlier perfor-

HAVE INDIAN sign
Little Falls Basket Shooters Friday
Evening Defeat Locals for the
Third Successive Time

They say that every team has the
Indian sign on some particular aggre-
cation of opponents. Little Falls has
it on us by unanimous choice. Last
Friday they won the distinction of be-
ing the only team that has been able
to hang it on Sank Centre three times
in succession. And by practically the
same score in each Casa five point
margin. If that isn't jinx we would
not know one if we met in grave
yard on midnight of Friday the 18th.
Each team went into the game ham
dicapped by the loss of a veteran
player and played a clean-cut game
during the first half. Neither appear
ed to be playing at it's best speed.
Most of the scoring was done in this
period. The Little Falls men, having
gained a lead in the early part of the
second half, played safe, stalled and
delayed the game consistently during
the rest of the game. Belanger was
having his horseshoe night and scor-
ed five clean goals on long shots from
guard position. The half was .marred
by roughing and holding on both sides
This is not an explanation or alibi.
We have to hand it to Little Falls;
they just naturally have it on US with
their little old five points. A return
game is scheduled for Jan. 20 on the
Sank Centre floor, and the home team
is plotting to go out and put crimp
in Mr.. Jinx with double-bitted axe
