In storing soy beans after thresh- ing, the beans should be spread out and not massed in large quantities Soy beans will heat rather easily if not thoroughly dry, and the germina- tion will be ruined.
 Good Market For the Soy Bean.
 In addition to being a good war measure, remember that it will pay to consider the soy bean as permanent money crop since it has been found that cotton seed oil mills can be ad justed without much trouble to use soy beans. Different investigators re- port that only few minor and inex- pensive changes in equipment are necessary.
 Cotton seed oil mills in Arkansas will no doubt welcome the soy bean as commercial crop An addi- tional crop of this character will ex- tend their operating season and less en their idle season, which is ire quently from -four to six months each year. There does not seem to be any question as to the perma- nency of the soy bean industry. It is significant that $5.000,00O worth of oil was imported directly from Asia in 1916.

BERRY SHIPMENTS

Up until last night, inclusive, 333 cars of strawberries have been shipped from Judsonia.
 The price has been the best all the way through ever received at this place. Aromas are now sell ing for $2.5 and Klondikes for $1. 50 per case. In all probability this week will end the car lot shipping. Enough cases were shipped in last week so that very few berries were lost on account of the crate shortage.
 The shipping amounts to more than 100 cars over the estimate made the first of the season.

Say boys have you heard what the newspapers ga
That hundred and fifty old soldiers day,
Footsore and weary, have dropped out at last
Back on the road where the column has passed.
A week-seven days-bear that number in mind,
Another full regiment is tagging behind.
We bid them goodbye with tear and song,
And the column keeps steadily marching along.
Every three weeks another brigade
Back in the quiet old church yard is laid;
You look at the spot where they peacefully sleep
Then each to his place in the column must keep.
Sixty days-a division at rest;>
No pickets thrown out to modest,
And let it be morning. or noon, or at night,
The column moves on and is soon out of sight.
Every six months full army corps
Goes into camp on the farthermost shore
The evening is damp, but never mind boys,
Well soon be in camp with it's rest and it's joys.
An army each year, and weary I ween,
Sleep meath the sod with the grass growing green
An army complete, fifty thousand strong,
And the column keeps slowly dragging along.
Soon there will be but an invalid corps
Of an army that numbered million or more;
A division, brigade, then regiment small Is
Too feeble to note when comrade shall fall ~
Soon but company then platoon,
A few stragglers left, then soon, all how soon,
read this small item-the news came today
That the last old soldier has just passed away

WILL AWARD DIPLOMAS TO TF4IRTY-SIX SENIORS
CITIZEN APPLICANT
FIXES DAY OF BIRTH
AFTER The FLY SEASON

Many men Of foreign birth are
these days declaring their inten-
ton of becoming subjects of I'm
Gle Sam. This ambition is to be
commended, of course. Some
rather unusual occurrences tran
spire during the applicants ex-
animation. The Herald under
stands that quite recently young
man of foreign birth applied at
the office of the Stearns County
Clerk of Court, st. Cloud, accom-
panied by the required number
of witnesses, to take out his first
citizenship papers.
The young man knew where he
was born, all right, but was bit
uncertain as to the year and the
month. After celebrating he de-
cided that the important event
took place on nice, clear and
bright day, which he was sure
must have been in the month of
September. After more thinking
he arrived at the conclusion that
this was a mistake, because"
he said, ''the flies weer all gone;
so 1 must have been born in Oc-
tober," and October was fixed as
the month of his birth.

SEVERE SERVICE in FRENCH
MEDICAL DIVISION I'M
PAIRED HEALTH

Mrs. w. O. P. Hilsdale received a !
telephone message from St. Cloud this
Thursday forenoon announcing that
DR.. Adrian j. Kirghis had passed
away at the fomily home in the Gran
tie City early this morning
The passing of this we'll known for
mer Sank Centre resident was not en-
tirely unexpected He was always
frail. The Doctor was native Of
France and about two years ago he
answered the call Of his native coun-
try and served in the medical division
of the French army until he was COM
PEELED to give up the work having con-
tracted septic pneumonia. 80"
He returned to America late last
summer and, after spending short
time in St. Cloud and Sank Centre, ac-
companied by Mrs. Kirghis, he spent
several months on ranch in Montana
hoping the rest and quiet would re-
store his health. Instead of improv-
ing, he kept going down hill, and, af-
ter his return to St. Cloud, specialists
decided that an operation for appen-
dicitis was necessary. He was confin-
ed in Twin City hospital for weeks
and returned to his home short time
since.l
DIR, Kirghis came to Sank Centre Is
years ago this month. About three
years later he formed partnership
with DR.. J. A. Dubois. During his
residence here, DR.. Kirghis took an ac-
tive interest in the affairs of the city
serving on the City Council for q
time. He was about AZ years of age
and located in St. Cloud about five
years ago.
The funeral will be held at ST. Cloue
Saturday morning at nine o'clock. The
heartbroken wife has the sympathy Of
many Sank Centre friends in her be-
| reayement.

JURY WHEEL SYSTEM
FAVORED FOR DRAFT
OF CONSCRIPT ARMY

Washington, May 29-Regula-
lions to govern exemptions I'M
der the selective draft are being
worked out by Provost Marshal
General Crowder with a number
of leading lawyers. Although
the plans are not complete, it is
probable the jury wheel system
will be followed in selecting
those who are to go into the
first army of 100000 and not
until the names have been
drawn and such registration
district has provided the num-
Der apportioned to it will ex-
emptions be considered. As each
Individual drawn reports, his
claims for exemption will be
passed upon.
The law provides for local ex-
emption boards in each county
and for each 80, 900 in city pop
ulations. Boards of review also
will be established on the basis
of one or more to each federal
judicial district. All the boards
will be composed of civilians.
General Crowder said that
only confusion could result
from men above the required
age registering on June 5.
"This is mistaken patriotism"
he said, "and registrars will be
instructed to accept cards only
from men between the ages OF
81 and 80, inclusive"

of the G. A. R., were next'in the pro-
cession, headed by the color bearer

school band followed after which came
the school children, each carrying a
flag, the w. re. in automobiles and
finally the cars of about fifty citizens.
The procession stopped at the Third
street bridge and held short service
there in memory of the sailor dead

AUTO TURNS TURTLE

While rounding corner on a road
near Pequot last Friday afternoon, the
car owned by ]. L. Ingram turned tur-
tie. The cause of the accident is hard
to explain as Mr.. Ingram was driving
carefully. The other occupants were
badly shaken up, but uninjured while
Mr.. Ingram sustained two or three
fractured ribs, besides severe bruises.
However, he is not in serious condi-
ton and it will only be matter Of
time before he is fully recovered. The
car was slightly damaged, but was
still in running condition after the
accident.

ium of the Junior high school build
ing, after which the members OF the
graduating class will be presented
with their long coveted sheepskins.
The speaker of the evening is to
he DIR. c.. A. Prosser of the Dunwoody
Institute of Minneapolis. DR.. Prosser
is not as well known in Minnesota as

such during his service at the lnstl-
tute that Sank Centre may feel hon
ored in having the opportunity to see
and hear him. Miss Esther Burnside
is to give the valedictory and MISS
Marie Cawley the salutatory.
The class Of 1917, while not the
largest class that ever left the instltu-

equal. The city has reason to be
proud of the product of the school
and may feel assured that more than
one shall be heard of in the years that
are to come. Their motto: The Work
Praises the Workman, has been their
slogan during their high school career
and the class is credit to the simple
dignity of its truth.
Seats for commencement will be re-
served for the relatives of the gradu-
ates. for the Board of Education, the
teachers and the Library Board. The
