Some time ago the Krueger's, re-
siding west of Sank Centre, decided
to sell all their personal property at
auction.
"Col." Harrison Miller of Owatonna
was employed to "cry" the sale. He
brought an assistant with him and the
sale was pulled off on Feb. 4th. Ac-
cording to reports the sale was d
humdinger.
The evening following the sale
"Col" Miller called at the First State
Bank and demanded his money from
B. F. Dubois, clerk of the sale. He
did not have the proper credentials
for securing the coin. Any time a
stranger slips anything over on Ben
we'll he must be a smoother PROPOSE
ton than the average auctioneer.
Miller said he must have part of
the money at least to get home. In
his conversation with Mr.. Dubois,
Miller said he was to receive $3.50 for
crying the sale. Ben opined that the
figure was some stiff, but said that he
did not know anything about the ar
engagements. About midnight Miller
routed out the local liveryman and
drove out to the Kruger farmstead
and secured the following order
signed by Mrs. Kruger, in whose
name the property was held:
"Mr. DeBoise: Please settle my
auctioneering bill for services render
ed by him at my sale Feb. 4, 1915"
The Herald understands that the
Kreugers demurred on signing the or
der, but the necessity for coin on the
part of Mr.. Miller finally melted their
hearts. The name was signed some

MR.. PARKER COMES BACK
Secretary of Sank Lake Creamery
Answers Charges Made by But
termaker Bull Last Week.

In the Herald of last week a crit
cism of Secretary Parker's report of
the business transacted by the Sank
Lake COOPERATIVE Creamery, written
by Buttermaker Bull, was published.
This week Mr.. Parker is given space
to answer the criticism. The Herald
is not particularly interested in the
differences of the two gentlemen;
both have had their say, and the fol-
lowing letter from Mr. Parker will
close the controversy as far as this
paper is concerned:
81 read NJ E. Bulls review Of
creamery report and l don't know
what his object is in making state
ments he did. am not responsible for
change that was made some time age.
| did what l was instructed to do by
the majority of the board, and don't
think he has any right to blame me
altogether. l would like to see some
of the rest of the board shoulder some
of it.
"His figures are correct; his over
run is just what he says it is if
you take the churn weights. based
the overrun on the net weights Of
butter sold; and going farther he ac-
cuses me of emitting the butter sold
to the Home School. If Mr.. Bull will
be kind enough to look up the Mer-
chants statements think he will find
that it is accounted for, and the but
ter sold the Brainerd Creamery Co.,
was added to the shipments.
"Now if Mr.. Bull or any one else
can show me that we received 80 cts
per pound for butter I will take off
my hat to him.
During the months of June, July,
August and September the average
price per pound for butter shipped
was about % cents net. Of course
Mr.. Bull likes to make record for
himself but I don't like to have hirl
make it at my expense. Any time
he wants to go over the Creamery
books l will be glad to have him do
so w. H. Parker"

Sank Centre, Mimi, Feb. 6, 1915.
To the Members of the Board OF Ed
ucation:
Dear Sirs:
The Sank Centre School is what is
known as a putnam School" and the
school board of this district has decid-
ed to charge nonresident pupils at
tending this school tuition, as provld-
ed by law. This tuition charge has
caused a friction between the city and
rural districts, detrimental to both
parties. To settle this matter and for
the purpose of having the law chang
ed. representatives of % rural dis
tricts met and appointed rural leg
islative committee composed of A. b..
Hendrickson, of Kandota townships;
Todd county, A. D. Carpenter, OF
Ashley township, Stearns county; and
A. ]. Molitor, of Getty township,
Stearns county. This committee met
with the School Board of this city,
and we derived at the following con-
illusions, viz:
Cd That all children that can at
ford it ought to have at least high
school education.
(2) That children in the rural dis
trict should have the same privilege
as children in the city or town.
90 That the city and town main
tanning a high school cannot afford to
educate free, all the children who
come to it from the outside.
(4) That even in schools of the
Putnam and Benson Lee class, the
present mode of collecting tuition is
not satisfactory, and always will
cause trouble.
90 That there is no need of any
one going to a town school when there
is a school of the same grade in the
home district; Therefore we hold that
if anyone wants to send a child to
such town school, he should pay for
it himself.
After agreeing to all these points,
and at the suggestion of the under
signed chairmen of the rural COM
mittee that pupils be admitted free
into all high schools doing high
school work, and that pupils in the
grades should pay their own tuition,
and that the state should reimburse
all such high schools and other
schools doing high school work, for
all such free nonresident pupils, by
a special aid as provided in the pro-
posed bill of which we inclose copy,
and this is what is referred to in the
inclosed resolution.
Now what we want to know is, if
you are with us in this fight and if
this move appeals to you, please call
a meeting of your board and pass a
resolution, endorsing this bill and
have a copy of such resolution to-
gether with copy of this bill placed
in the hands of your Senator and Re-
preventative. We will furnish you
with all the copies you want of this
bill for that purpose. We must move

evening of last week, committee
consisting of A. H. HendrickSon, and
A. ]. Molitor were on hand to discuss
the tuition question. After going
over the matter thoroughly the conf
mittee agreed that the board could

sistance to that end. Below follows

mailed to the districts Interested, and

with the hope that this or one similar
can be passed at the present session

Whereas, a great deal of dissat-
isfaction has arisen throughout the
the state with the law governing the
collection of tuition;
"And whereas, this board has had a
great deal of trouble and some crit
icism for attempting to comply with
the provisions of this law;
Therefore Be 1t Resolved, By the
Board of Education of the town of
Sank Centre, that it pledges its self
to cooperate with the other school
districts throughout the state to Sc
cure the repeal of this law;
"And Be 1t Further Resolved,
That this Board will use it's best eff
forts to secure the passage of law
framed along the lines, as outlined
by A. II. Hendrickson, at this meet
ing"

NO DECISION AS YET
by JOHN A. DUGAN.

No decision was rendered by the
registration committee of the South
Atlantic branch of the Amateur Ath-
lectic Union regarding the protest o.
the Carroll Institute track team
claiming the championship cross-coun-
try run in Baltimore on Thanksgiving
Day was not the required distance.
Capt Danny Healy. of the Carroll
team, protested the race because of the
shortness Of the course DIR. Burdick.
the chairman of the registration COM
mittee, presided at the meeting last
night, while NJ. Ratilata. of Baltimore.
and W. Dean. of Washington. were the
other members Of the committee pres
emit.
The committee collected the evidence
of the local athletes and will hear
the baltimore side of the case in the
Monumental City next Tuesday night.
From the evidence gathered II appears
as IL the championship committee, OF
which II. T. Gebbs is chairman. is en-
tirely responsible for trouble.
Before the meeting in Baltimore on
Tuesday night DR.. Burdick will ask
the legislative committee for the
power to make the decision. as II IL
not known by the. registration COM
mfttee whether IL has the power to
recommend or render a decision in a
case OF this kind.
The rules of the Amateur Athletic Union
which governs cross-country running, cali
for six to six and one-half miles. but
at the meeting last night Dr. Burdick
claimed that this ruling governs national,
senior and Junior championships and that
a division championship which is the
one under protest at present, could be
made any distance providing the cham
pionship committee in charge notified the
athletes competing.
By the evidence offered by the Carroll
athletes who competed in the run II ap-
pears they were not notified of the short
ness of the course and Gebbs and Nc
Alister, who are the Baltimore members
of this committee. hold the key 10 the
situation and their side of the controversy
is looked forward to with considerable
interest.
During the meeting the registration
committee showed that II would be an
Injustice to Joe Geiger. the South Allan
tic champion who won this race, II IL
was necessary to run the event over and
n fair proposal has been offered TO allow
the race to stand as cross-country run.
The medals and team trophy have already
been given out and the registration com
mittee would find II hard to get the
athletes to return the trophies.
The case of } Morrison Barr. who was
ruled out of the local high school foot
hall games because of having competed
in the municipal game held July fourth.
in Potomac Park. was suspended by the
committee until afte- the first indoor
track meet which will be that held by
.'oHns Hopkins in Baltimore. some time

WARD TO CAPTAIN
NAVY ON GRIDIRON

Annapolis. Nd. Dec. H.-At a meeting
Of the memberS OF the Naval Academy
football squad held last evening Clarence
o. Ward. who played left tackle during
the past season. was elected captain for
1876. Ward frequently captained the
team during the absence from the game
or Capt Miles. He has played for three
years. but was only considered a regular
tackle during the past season.
Ward Is probably the most prominent
athlete In the academy. Besides playing
on the football team he is a member of
the academy eight and of the wrestling
team. For two years he has represented
the academy in the lightweight class
with great success.
OF much interest in connection with
his election as captain of the football
team Is the fact that Ward was appointed
from the enlisted ranks OF the navy.
The regard in which he in held by the
other midshipmen is still further shown
by the fact that he has been elected
president Of his class. which graduates
from the academy In 1917

MORAN AND WALTHOUR
CLAIM SIX-DAY RECORD

New York. Dec. AWHILE Grenda and
Hill get both credit and money for win
ming the six day bicycle race. the ques-
ton comes up as to who should be
awarded the honor Of riding tho longest
distance. Moran and walthour finished
with the group of rides. but in the last
hour the team gained a lap. By the pro-
visions of the Berlin finish. the stolen lap
did not count as such for the riders.
II Is commended that Moran and Wal
thour, however. should be credited with
the new record, as they covered more
distance than any of the other teams.
Moran and Walthour believe they should
receive credit for gaining that lap in the
final hours sprint by being awarded the
record.
