THE ROSARY NEXT

The Leona Fendell Stock Company
appeared before another capacity
house at the Caughren theatre Mon
day evening, presenting Don't Lie to
Your Wife," The piece was cast to
give Mr.. and Mrs. Fendell full op-
portunity to show their splendid abil-
ity and they made the most of their
opportunities. The specialties were
greatly enjoyed. The offering for
next Monday night will be the sterl-
ing story "The Rosary" and the book
is closely followed. In other cities
where the Fendells have presented
this piece they have made decided
hit. The Herald would suggest that
you make your seat reservations early
if you care to be taken care of, as
there was complete sell out Monday
evening. The usual popular prices
of Is and IS cents will prevail.

urer Dubois are followers.
President-elect Wallace did not as
sumo office Monday night as is Gus
tomary, preferring that Retiring
President Cooper officiate through the
session, but has already started on in
novations. He believes that a little
"feed and smoker" on meeting nights
will be a magnet for old members and
an inducement to citizens not now
members to join. He also is a be-
lever in cabinet" so that work
may be distributed, instead of falling
Oh the same. shoulders repeatedly, and
will appoint a number of standing

EARLY MAILING is REQUESTED
Postm aster SchoenhOff Warns That
Late Deliveries Will Result
From PrOcrastinatiOn

Postmaster J. A. SchoenhOf urges
Sank Centreites who intend sending
Christmas packages out of the city
to mail them early and evade the con-
gestion and delays unavoidably incl
dent to the annual twelfth-hour rush.
He issues warning that the postoftlce
department cannot be held response
bic for tardy deliveries if the postal
handling facilities are swamped by an
avalanche of late packages.
"a heavy Christmas rush is already
in sight," said Postmaster Schoenhoff.
"Many are inclined to wait until the
last minute and then blame the de-
partment because packages are not
delivered on time. 1t should not take
much thought to realize that if humid
reds of packages are thrown into the
rostoffice at the last minute that some
of them must be delayed. They can
rot be handled at the big terminal
points. That is why we request early
mailing so that good service can be
given. Furthermore, all Christmas
packages should be securely packed
and bound, properly addressed and
carry a return address"
AS guide for those who expect to
send parcels out of the state, Post
master Schoenhoff has authorized the
following schedule which, if followed,
will find packages at their destination
not later than Dec. %:
Packages to the Pacifis coast states
and the southwest should be mailed
in Sank Centre not later than Dec. Is.
To Illinois, Iowa and other middle
west states on Dec. Fl.
To the Southern states on Dec. 20.
To the New England states on Dec.
To New York, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, Ohio, Indiana and Kentcuky
on Dec. 20.
To Virginia, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, North and South Carolina on
Dec. IS.

URGE STATE ROAD
TO LITTLE FALLS
MORRISON AND TODD COUNTIES
WANT TO CONNECT LINK
WITH SAUK CENTRE
LOCAL SUPPORT IS PROMISED
COMMITTEE APPOINTED WILL
SEEK TO REMEDY EXIST
ING BAD CONDITIONS

At the annual meeting of the Com
mercial Club on Monday night, the
members voted unanimously and en-
Enthusiastically to endorse a movement
originating in Morrison and Todd
counties looking toward having the
road between Little Falls and Sank
Centre, via Swanville, Burtrum, Grey
Eagle and Ward Springs, designated
as state road for the entire distance
and placed in repair during 1917. The
club also authorized the naming of a
committee of three to cooperate with
general committee selected from the
other communities to present their re-
quests before the three county boards
and state board.
1t was the general opinion that lit
tie difficulty would be encountered in
securing what was wanted. Morrison
county representatives pointed out
that the highway from Little Falls to
Swanville, with the exception of one
mile, is already state road and assur-
ance was given that the remaining
little stretch could be handled. There
are also only a few miles in Stearns
county and the Sank Centreites ex-
pressed confidence that this also could
be easily handled.
About IA miles of the route is IN
Todd county and also offers the most
Instructions. However, c. S. Wilke
of Grey Eagle, Representatives,
Fred Mossman of Todd county, J. II.
Mertz of Burtrum and J. A. Bisel of
Swanville pointed out that the road
in question through Todd county is so
miserable that the farmers in that
region must be given relief by the
commissioners. Mr.. Mossman brought
a laugh when he said that he had been
living practically on an island as long
as he can remember with practically
no outlet for his farm products.
R. L. Palmer, John Wetzel and
Ckas. Sylvester of Little Falls and A.
J. Flenn, state engineer for Morrison
county, all declared Morrison county
would take care of its end. The gen
eral committee to handle the project
is composed as follows:
Sank Centre. A. Dubois, A. M.
Wallace, G.. Hillerud.
Little Falls. K. Martin, R. Mil
lard, Chas. Sylvester.
Swanville-J. j. McRae, Otto
Krousey.
Burtrum-B. F. Bisel, ]. H. Mertz.
Grey Eagle-Fred Mossman, L. p.
Greener, C. S. Wilke.
The visiting delegations were COM
posed of the following: Little Falls,
John Wetzel, R. L. Palmer, Chas-
Sylvester, A. J. Flenn; Grey Eagle,
L. P. Greener, Fred T. Mossman, c.
S. Wilke; Burtrum, J. H. Mertz, 0.
Krousey, Roy Burch, ]. A. Bisel;
Swanville, ]. j. McRae, B. B. Cox, o.
H. Kobe, Otto Krousey. The Little
Falls machines were compelled to
come by way Of Long Prairie and the
Swanville car by way of Melrose be-
cause of poor roads.

HEAVY BASKETBALL SCHEDULE
Local Season Will Be Opened Friday
Night With Inter- Class
Contest.

The basement auditorium of the
new Junior High school building is
rapidly being placed in shape for
athletics and will make one of the
finest school gymnasiums in the state
when fully equipped. The spacious
floor, high ceiling and large seating
capacity make it ideal for basketball.
Director Myhre has arranged a good
schedule for the Sank Centre team
ed Friday night between a team of
Freshmen and Seniors opposed to a
team of Juniors and Sophomores. With
negotiations now in progress for
games with Fergus Falls and Wa
dena, the following schedule has al
ready been filled, giving local fans
several opportunities to see the fast
Sank Centre aggregation in action:
Jan. 12-St. Cloud at Sank Centre.
Jan. 19-Long Prairie at Long
Prairie.
Jan. 26-Little Falls at Little
Falls.
Feb. 12-St. Cloud at st. Cloud.
Feb. 16-Little Falls at Sank Gen.
tire.
Feb. 23-Alexandria at Sank Cen
tire.
The second team has arranged to
exchange games with the Royalton
team, the first to be played at Roy
alton on Jan. 26 and the return game
in Sank Centre on March 2. Basket
ball is a branch of athletics which
has always been popular in Sank Cen
tire but it takes large attendances to
pay the expenses of sucha heavy and
splendid schedule.

new OFFICIALS ARE NAMED
ASA nj. WALLACE SELECTED TO
GUIDE ORGANIZATION AT
FAIRS COMING YEAR
BY Charles A. Kusba.

Members of the Commercial Club
became elated, naturally, at the an
nu.al meeting held in the club rooms
llchday night when Treasurer B. F..
Dubois, in reading his annual state
ment of the financial condition OF the
institution, proclaimed that the asso-
cation, despite heavy drains, was
poorer only by "a cents than at the
last annual reading and that $40.
still reposed in the treasury, with all
bills paid. One year ago the balance
was $1O7.24. Receipts during the
year were $603.46. Expenses were
$6O3.7O. This included the heavy
cost of entertaining the delegates to
the annual convention of the North
ern Minnesota Editorial Association
held here in January. Under this
financial condition, the club enters in
to its new year in splendid shape.
Election OF officers resulted as fall
lows, all being named unanimously:
President-Asa M. Wallace.
L L.
Second Vice President-Dr. A. F.
Moynihan.
Secretary-Victor T. Conklin.
Treasurer-B. f. Dubois.
j. F. Cooper, former president, has
devoted much of his time to the sue
cess of the club, and his administra-
ton has been pronounced success.
Mr.. Cooper presided during the session
which included a healthy discussion
of the need of a state road between
Little Falls and Sank Centre, an &C
count of which is given elsewhere in
the Herald. There was also other
routine business, including the cleo
ton of w. M. Parker to membership.
The club starts on it's new year we'll
differed. Mr.. Wallace, the new
president, has demonstrated in his 3A
years residence here that he is a
booster all the time-giving in time
and purse and personal effort "his
little bit" continually to advance the
welfare of city and community. We on
the Herald force know well his rules
regarding this community newspaper:
Boost always for anything that is
good; never knock maliciously; criti-
else only when there is fair and just
reason for difference of opinion"
These laws are so ingrained in him
that it is certain Mr.. Wallace will
carry them into his acts as president
of the club. He will also carry
weight, undoubtedly, in many matters
that will arise in the next year be-
cause of his wide acquaintance with
business and political powers through
out the state.
Mr.. Strebel, first vice president, has
also won his spurs as prime booster.
Besides his civic boosting activities,
he has for two years carried
the burden of the Stearns County
Fair to success as secretary of that
organization, and was recently re-
elected for third term against his
wishes.
DR.. Moynihan is a booster from
morning until night and has always
