BALL PROSPECTS IMPROVING
Strong Local Team Will Be Organlz-
ed to Play Independent Games T,
This Season.

Sank Centre will have ball team
this wear and it will be strictly COM
posed of home talent members, with
the possible exception of pitcher.
This much was decided at the
meeting held in the Caughren theatre
Sunday. Sank Centre is like Foley
in this respect; they have given the
outside friedman proposition thor
ough tryout and have found that no
town of this size can pursue this
course with any kind of financial sue
cess.
The sentiment for a league compos-
ed of teams of this character was fav-
orable, but it was not thought best
to initiate the movement here again.
A good many of those present were
in favor of playing independent ball
this season.
The election of officers was deferred
until next Sunday when another meet
ing will take place at the Caughren
and several business men will be in
terested in the meantime to attend
and give their support to insure a
success of the venture.
AS stated before the outlook for
first-class local material was never
more promising and this city will be
prepared to put nifty little team in
the field when the season opens.
Financial support needed to start the
"pill a-soaring" will be less than here
tofore if local players are used. Ways
any means of raising funds will be
taken up at the next meeting.
Manager Segers had telegram
from Roy Fisher this week stating
that he would be willing to return to
Sank Centre this year. Fisher was
the best hurler that Sank Centre en-
gagged last season. He came late in
the season, however, but in time to
administer a drubbing to the Long
Prairie BRAVES" and break up their
long string of victories.
"Jim" also plans on fitting up a
backstop so the team can have
batting practice more frequently and
not have to trudge out to the fair
grounds every evening for practice.
Other matters will also be discussed
Sunday.

9TH ANNIVERSARY
Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Make Mer-
ry and Informally Entertain at
Lodge Home Wednesday

Sank Centre Lodge I. o. O.. F. No.
"a, and Valparaiso Rebekah Lodge in
formally entertained the Odd Fellows
and their families at the cosy lodge
home Wednesday evening in honor of
the 9th anniversary of the organ
ization of the order in America, which
was effected in Baltimore by five men.
Today the order has approximately a
membership of 100000 in America,
including Rebekahs, and about $4,000
in the Minnesota jurisdiction. The Odd
Fellows are one of the great fraternal
organizations in the world and in
their quiet way are expanding $780,
900 per month in America for the re-
lief of the distressed and needy of the
order.
Hon. C. M. Sprague of Sank Centre
has been the Grand Treasurer of the
order for the jurisdiction of Minneso-
ia for many years, and it was quite
proper that he should be master of
ceremonies on this occasion. Grand
Master F. M. Payne, from Pipestone,
graced the meeting with his presence,
and made the address of the evening,
reviewing to large extent the splen-
did work of Odd Fellowship in the
past, with a promise of still greater
things for the future.
The rest of the program was inter-
spersed with readings, vocal and in
strumental music, concluding with a
very laughable farce entitled, "Moth-
ers of Edward" This was the Re-
bekahs' offering of the evening and
the scene represented a kindergarten,
the ladies playing the games used for
the little tots, in order, as informed
by the leader, Miss Annabel Erwin,
that they might better understand the
work given the kiddies. The ladies
entered into the spirit Of the farce,
the situations being very natural and
amusing.
Of course an occasion of this sort
would not be complete without re-
freshments. Covers were laid for rs
in the basement dining room and the
party were served splendid luncheon
in relays until all were cared for.
Most of the older folks left shortly
after midnight, but from the manner
in which the seats were being remov-
ed from the auditorium floor and the
hustling in of Columbia monograph,
it was quite apparent that the young
er set enjoyed an informal hop later
in the evening. The program carried
out follows:

MINNESOTA LANDS ATTRACT
All Previous Gopher Records Are Ex-e
pected to Be Broken by Heavy
immigration This Year.

The forward to the land" move--
ment is under way, and statistics COM
piled by the Minnesota commissioner
of immigration indicate the colonial
ton movement for the fiscal year
probably will eclipse the record OF
1908-9, when hundreds of homestead
ers and others settled on government
land.
This years movement is attributed
to the general prosperity of the coun-
try.
For the first three months of this
year the Minnesota Transfer handled
1854 carloads of immigrant movables
for various destinations in Minnesota.
Since not all this business in handled
through the transfer it is probable
that the railroads have handled 1900
carloads of immigrant freight for
Minnesota points.
Many of the shipments originated in
Illinois, Iowa and other states where
land cannot be obtained as cheaply as
in Minnesota.
The commissioner of immigration
has not data on the number of people.
being brought into the state by the
land movement, but the total for 1916;
to date is estimated by railway Of
fcials at nearly 5000.
The colonists of today are said to-
be better fixed financially than were,
the homesteaders of decade ago.
