A FALSE REPORT

Saturdays Twin City and St.
Cloud papers carried story stating
that three members of the First
Regiment, Minn., National Guard had
been arrested at Wayazata, Lake
Minnetonka, charged with stealing an
automobile. The story stated that one
of the boys arrested gave his name as
Barney Hoffman,, Sank Centre Mon
day the scandal monger was busy and
all sorts Of punishment was heaped
upon Barney from being shot at sun
rise for desertion, down to 80 days
solitary confinement. Barney's father
stated to the Herald Monday evening
that he had talked with the regiment
al commander over the phone that af-
ternoon and received word that the
charge that Barney had been arrested
for either desertion or auto steal
ing was false, and that the young man
was with his company as usual. The
Herald is glad that the reports have
proven erroneous.

REV. SCHEINER To LEAVE
west union PARISH soon
Popular Parish Priest Transferred to
Point in Otter Tail County After
Eight Years Service
MOVE DESERVED PROMOTION
Pastor Relieved of Worry in Erecting
New Church Edifice Replacing
One Lost by Fire.

Rev. VIM. J. Scheiner, who, for the
past eight years has been pastor of
the Alexius Catholic church at West
Union, has recently been promoted by
Bishop Busch to the larger and more
important parish at St. Joseph near
Perham, Otter Tail county.
Rev. Scheiner will be succeeded at
West Union by Rev. Joseph Buscher
Of Mayhem, near Sank Rapids.
In September of 1915 Fir. Scheiner
submitted to two very severe surgical
operations from which he has fairly
recovered. However, to have a better
chance to fully regain his complete
hearth, he requested Bishop Busch TO
be relieved of the burden Of building
the new church at West Union to take
the place Of the one destroyed by fire
during the past winter, fearing the
attendant responsibility and worry
would be detrimental to his ultimate
recovery.
Rev. Scheiner has many friends
among the Herald family, and, while
they regret his assignment to another
parish, they fully realize that the
change was necessary in order to re-
store his health. He will take charge
of his new work in a short time.

senior CLASS WILL GIVE
Splendid CLASS PLAY
"The Professors Love Story Will be
Staged by Students of Senior
Class, Friday, May Is.
PRODUCTION ABOVE AVERAGE
Cast Consists of Eleven Characters
Now Being Drilled for Their
Respective Parts.

"The Professors Love Story" which
is to be presented Friday, May Is, by
the Senior class of the Sank Centre
high school is not an ordinary play by
any means. A few years ago it was
played through out Minnesota by the
University Extension cast and made a
hit wherever put on. The attention Of
the Herald has been called to the fact
that George Arliss, one of the great
est actors, is playing the part of the
professor in this comedy in New York
this season. 1t is great drawing
card and will undoubtedly remain
there the rest Of the season. While
the home talent does nos in any way
wish to convey the idea that they are
as good or better than George Arliss,
yet they are making worthy attempt
and the strict observations of the Her.
aid satisfy US that it will be one
of the best class plays both as
to selection and presentation ever
put on by local talent in Sank
Centre. There is a cast of some IL
or more characters, each one of whom
seems made for his or her part. They
have entered into the spirit Of the
play and are directing every effort to
make it what it should be. The play
itself is above the average high school
play, being a combination of real lit
y
comedy. At the same time, it is not
over the heads of the youthful actors,
but is one whose Interpretation can be
fully grasped.
The production is in the hands of
Miss Sharkey Of the English depart
ment, who besides being gifted in pub
lie speaking, has the added benefit of
having played with the University
cast when on it's tour.
A resume of the play and cast of
characters will be given next week.
