Do woodpeckers get drunk? The

Burgess Johnson In Harper's Magazine
as the result OF certain observations in

WILL LEAVE SAUK CENTRE

Nichols-Hlcks- McNalry Co., Whole-
sale grocers, who have been operating
a branch house in Sauk Centre for the
past year, have arrangements COM
pleted for removing from this city,
ard will close their business here the
last week in October. They will
open a business at New Ulm, where
they have building 60x136, two stor-
les and basement, well under way.
The Herald regrets the losing of this
firm, not only because it will curtail
the business interests of the city, but
will necessitate the removal of the ex-
cellent Hicks and Gaut families and
Miss Amy Strand, to New Ulm.. An
other we'll known grocery concern are
figuring on the proposition of opening
up a branch wholesale grocery bpsi-
ness, and it is just barely possible
that they may be ready to take over
the building as soon as vacated by
Nichols Hicks-McNairy Company.

BROWN resigns
HIS PASTORSAIP
WILL CONCLUDE DUTIES WITH
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
END OF MONTH
RESIDENT MINISTER Desired
INCUMBENT FINDS IT IMPOSSI-
BILE TO MOVE HERE FOR PER-
MANENT LOCATION

The hosts of friends and acquaint-
ances in Sauk Centre of the Rev. W.
j. Brown, both in and out of the
church, will learn with keen regret
that he has resigned the pastorate of
the local Congregational denomina-
ton and after the end of this month
will cease to be Sauk Centreite.
Rev. Brown rendered his resigna-
tion at the services last Sunday, re-
questing that it become effective the
last Sunday in October. The church
will not take action until next week,
but it is assured that the request for
release will be granted. Who will
succeed as pastor is problematical.
No friction between pastor and con-
gregation preceded the resignation.
The congregation, which numbers
about $50 members and owns its own
church property and parsonage, has
felt for some years that it's pastor
should be a resident. Rev. Brown, who
has never been resident during his
pastorage, coming here Sundays from
Mora, concurred in that belief and at
his own request steps aside that the
congregation may have resident pas
tor.
Rev. Brown answered the call to
the Congregational church about five
years ago. At that time he resided
near Mora, Mimi, and had extensive
land and agricultural interests in that
region. He expected to dispose of
those interests and move with his
family to Sank Centre. AS time
passed these landed interests increas-
ed until Rev. Brown found himself
unable to make the change and move
here. With this decision reached he
approached the trustees of the church
and his voluntary resignation follow
ed.
Sauk Centreites will be sorry to have
Rev. Brown tear himself away from
it's religious and social life. He was
an unusual minister, and that unus-
uality made him an attractive person
age in pulpit, on street, in office or
home. He defied many church con-
ventionalities in a manner that won
his parishioners as we'll as those of
other denominations. 1t is apparent
that his aim always was to be just
plain ordinary man, without frock or
frills or theological furbelows; that he
should talk to man as man, treat man
as man and advise as man to man re-
garding the spiritual.
It is understood that when Rev.
Brown retires from the local pastor
ate he will devote his attention larg-
ely to, his stock and grain farm near
Mora. For many years he has been
engaged in farming and in later
years has answered the general call
to farm diversifcation and branched
into raising of a thoroughbred dairy
herd.
Holsteins are his hobby and at the
recent Kanabec county fair he exhib-
tied a herd of eleven pure breds.
When the judges made their awards,
Rev. Brown received ribbons for six
individual first prizes, three individ-
ual second prizes, sweepstakes on the
best showing of dairy cattle and a

PRESTON ON COUNCIL AND
MEETING OF CITIZENS
PLANS INCLUDE White WAY
CITY HAS ALLURING OFFER
FROM R-iNSTRU CTS
HIM TO SUBMIT PLANS

The electric light and power plant
problem is keeping the mayor and
city councilmen on the jump. Last
Friday night they had as an invitea
guest M. b. Beattie, representative of
the Northwestern Electrical Equip
ment company Of st. Paul, who laid
before the council detailed plan Tor
a White Way as part of the NUM-
cipal lighting system. Mr.. Beattie's
plans were admittedly ideal for the
city, embracing the district on Third
street from Oak to Pine; on Main
street from Second to Fifth streets,
and thence on to the Great Northern
depot. The plans call for a total of
46 lamp posts at total cost of $7400.
While the council was deeply ir'-
pressed with the plans, they did not
feel secure in going ahead with let
ting contract until public opinion
was sounded. This was obtained at
a meeting of citizens Monday night in
the Commercial Club rooms when
those gathered were unanimous that a
White Way should be erected imme
diately if the city had sufficient pow
er to supply the lights. Mr.. Beattie
was in attendance and expressed his
belief, based on an examination Of
the local plant, that the power was
sufficient. Mr.. Beattie explained his
ideas in detail and made a distinct
impression on the gathering.
Besides the objection raised that the
city might not have sufficient power
to operate an extensive White Way,
also arose the question if it was wise
to install the lighting system until the
entire power problem had been settled
definitely and if it would be possible
for the city to erect the needed power
plant and make the other proposed
improvements with the $4,000 pro-
vided in the bond issue.
Mr.. Beattie assured the gathering
that his concern would guarantee do
ing all the work contemplated by the
city within the $4,000 limit and
would furnish bonds that it could be
done. Accordingly he was instructed
to prepare plans for the construction
of the entire system as proposed and
to report back to the council next
week.
