Certainly, it is true that we always
have storm either or after the
equinox but that is true of every
other day in the year-An Fools day
not excepted.
Every girl should have an ambition
to become good cook. Uncle Heck
observes that feeding the brute''
affords a woman greater pleasure
than anything else she can do for
him.
And Old ST retorts that the brute,
himself, gets immense satisfaction
out of good feed.
Jumping suddenly from physical to
mental pabulum, we desire to remark
once more that the fouler the carcass
the further it will draw the buzzards.
When a salacious trial is on in
court there should be an admittance
fee collected at the door. The pro-
ceeds of the show might be used to
pay the expenses of The losing actor,
or they might be used for the reduc-
tion of our tax rates. Old ST has an
idea that our county authorities are
neglecting a great opportunity to
make a record for economy.
Variety is the spice of life: even
perfection becomes stale and monoto-
nous when too long continued.
Which reflection enables us to toler-
ate many things which otherwise ap-
pear to be useless.
Old time things appear better than
the more modern substitutes when
seen through the eyes of an old timer.
Only recently some gray-haired
schoolboys were discussing school
books and making some comparisons,
to the disadvantage of the later
books 1t was contended that the
moral lessons taught by the school
readers of 30 and so years ago was
one of the points in which the Older
books were superior. As an example,
there was the story of 'sthe everlast-
ing whipcord, 1 declare,'' which
taught patience, prudence and thrift.

But not all the old things were the
best. The abundance of fruit this
season has created demand for jars
to be used in kitchen canning opera

reminiscent thought The Mason
jar was invented about the time OF
his first appearance on earth but

AN ASSOCIATION OF BANKERS
Stearns County Financial Men Gather
at Melrose Monday and Organ
ize for Mutual Purposes.

President J. A. Dubois and Vice
President B. F. Dubois of the First
State Bank of Sank Centre, attended
the meeting of the Stearns County
Bankers Association at Melrose Mon
day afternoon, the object of which
was to organize county association.
There were about As present, includ-
ing State Bank Examiner A. H. Tur-
ritin. The organization was perfected
by electing Edward Zapp,. st. Cloud,
president; Chris sBorgerding,. Bel
grade, vice president; and j. H. Welle,
Melrose, secretary.
The purpose of the organization is
to make the county bankers better &C
quainted with each other. The state
organization is too large for this pur-
pose. The county organization is only
local and will have no bearing on the
state organization. The county Or
CARNATIONS have been SUCCESSFULLY
organized in Meeker, Kandiyohi and
other counties of the state. At the
meetings different banking problems
are discussed which proves a great
help to the bankers.
Mr.. Turritin is making splendid
record in his office and it is his pur-
pose to organize all of the counties in
the state in the stame manner as this
county. 1t is expected that all of the
bankers in this county will affiliate
with the organization.

= ANGLING FOR BIG SHOW

Manager Dubeau of the Caughren
theatre is angling for the presenta-
ton of Birth of a Nation" the r.
reel photo play which has caused such
a sensation in Minneapolis and other
large cities where it has been produc-
ed. The scenes of the Birth of Ma
ton" are laid in the Southland and
the time of the story is Immediately
following the close of the Civil war
1t pictures the terrible obstacles con-
fronting the people during the recon
struction period. This picture is
shown in the best theatres of the
country and sats sellas high as ST.
Of course, Manager Dubeau does not
expect to charge that much in Sank
Centre. AS soon as he gets defnite
information from the film company
he will see if he can place enough
tickets to warrant him bringing the
production to Sank Centre. The
Birth Of a Nation" is the acme OF
perfection of all motion picture pro,
auctions, and while it is extremely
long, local people who have seen il
state that the action is so rapid, anc
the scenes so thrilling that the tins
passes all too quickly, without firing
one.

EXTENSIVE EASTERN TRIP

Mr.. and Mrs. James A. Norris
have returned from an absence of six
weeks, the greater portion of which
was spent in the East. The National
gathering of the G. A. R. at Wash
ington, D. c., attracted them to the
Nations Capitol. During their stay
there Mr.. and Mrs. Norris were given
every attention by John Boobar who
made their visit as pleasant as pos
sible. Visits were aso made at Phil
adelphia, New York, Brooklyn, White
Plains and Utica, N. Y; New Haven,
Hartford, Milton and Tarryville, Con-
necticut. Mr.. Morris was delegate from
the Sixth district to the G. A. r. con-
vention, also delegate from Minnesota
to the National Council of Congrega-
tional Churches which convened at
New Haven. Of course they stopped
in Minneapolis long enough to have
a visit with that new grandson at the
Asa Brooks home. Mr.. Norris arriv-
ed in Sank Centre Tuesday and Mrs.
Norris will return to day.

THE ANNUAL FIREMEN's BALI
Local Department Will Give Big An
nual Event at City Hall on
Thanksgiving Night.

At a general meeting of the Sank
Centre Fire Department held last
Thursday night, decision was made to
perpetuate the time-honored custom
of entertaining at the City Hall with
the annual Thanksgiving Firemen's
Ball. To start affairs rolling, gen
eral committee on arrangements was
named, consisting Of Chief Joseph w.
Kusba, Everett Jameson, Frank
Schwartz, Frank Nelson and Albert
Markson. This committee will work
out the general plans, after which
subcommittee will be appointed to
care for the details.
The fire ladies are planning to
make the ball this year the biggest in
the long string of dances given by
the department. They are especially
deserving of patronage and support
in 1915 because within the last two
months they expended most of their
funds-more than $2,00O-in the pur-
chase of the combination auto hose,
chemical and ladder truck which has
been installed and already has proven
its worth. The boys gave this sum
to provide Sank Centre with as fine
fire fighting equipment as any city
the size of Sank Centre in the coun-
try can boast. Naturally, it meant a
heavy drain on their treasury and
through the medium of the coming
dance they hope to repace small por-
ton of the expenditure.
The general committeeman even at
this early date promise that every
person who attends will get his mon
ey's worth from the entertainment
standpoint, as several special fea-
lures are being worked out but are
not ready for announcement. Among
these that may be announced is mu-
steal concert to precede the dance and
prize. contest about which the COM
mitteemen are still throwing a veil of
mystery.
The fire ladies have. been generous
to the city this year by making the
new fire truck a possibility for local
fire protection. In return they are en-
titled to the support of every Sank
Cenreite to make their coming dance
and entertainment whopping sue
cess. Buy ticket when the boys call
on you; they are deserving.

names contained in the first seven

basket in the Fort Berthold reserva-

land in that district. -

A noticeable feature Of the returns
is the large number of winners from
st. Paul and Minneapolis, the percent
age of the Twin Cities being extreme
ly high because of the distance to the
point of drawing and the generally
believed averseness of city people to
return to the soil. Minot, with its
large number of registrations, also
had many winners. Charles R. Por-

IT'S WORTH is DEMONSTRATED
Modern Fire Truck Given Actual
Demonstration at Barn Fire Mon
day AfternOOn-Over

About a quarter after three Mon
day afternoon Sank Centres new auto
fire truck made it's initial fire fight
ing run. A corps of drivers had been
appointed by Chief Kusba shortly af-
ter the installation of the new appar-
atus and naturally the rivalry for the
chance to drive the truck to it's first
fire was keen. Everett Jameson ar
rived at the Fire Hall first and the
engine of the machine was started
without trouble. Although the ar
rangement of the gear-shift was new
to him Jameson managed the truck
in splendid shape. Before leaving the
fire hall the full quota of 10 men had
been loaded ON the truck, some of
whom were not fremen, but when the
car turned north at the corner of
Third and Main streets it seemed that
a good many took it as signal for
a general joy-ride and quite number
who We're not firemen caught on,
making load of FL men besides the
600 lbs. of water carried in the chem
ical tank and about an equal weight
of fire-hose, not to mention the other
regular equipment. This meant that
it was carrying a ton more weight in
men than it was designed to and when
shifted into high gear it slowed down
perceptibly so that in order to make
any speed it was necessary to shift
to intermediate again and after at
tanning sufficient momentum, was
again shifted into high. =
Chief Kusba ordered the men who
were not firemen off the machine, but
time was too short to stop and argue
when they did not obey and although
no trouble has been made for those
who "hooked a ride" this time, the
Chief and the Department want it
understood that the appearance of the
truck after the alarm is not a
signal for a general "joy-ride,"
but for the firemen to reach the fire
in the shortest possible time, and in
reference will not be tolerated.
An analysis shows the first run to
have been made under average condi-
lions. It reached the fire which was
in P. Friedlund's barn near the ice
house on Lake street in less than five
minutes after the alarm was turned
in. AS was explained in the Herald
when the apparatus was installed, the
strap was thrown around the hydrant
as the machine passed and when it ar
rived at the fire the men had water
line laid as well as the hooks, ladders,
boots, coats and chemical. The ladders
were put up in short order and blaze
could have been easily extinguished
with the chemical. Chief Kusba wish
ed to see if the "water-line" was ac-
tually laid in a serviceable way and
called for water-he got it immediate
ly.
Children had been playing in the
hay-mow of the barn and it is sup
posed they set fire to pile of straw.
The wind Monday was gale, but the
damage was slight due to the COM
plete new apparatus.
