NOW AT Fl. HARRISON
Valued Sank Centre Citizen Now q
Fighting Unit in Service of IN -
Gle Sans Hospital Corps.

In the departure of DR.. H. L. Lamb
to his company with the United States
Medical Reserve Corps at Fort Har-
rison, Indiana, Sank Centre is losing
temporarily both valued citizen and
physician. DR.. Lamb is a part of the
town by right of birth and by right
of service. Immediately after COM
pleting his medical course at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, he came back to
his native town and commenced his
practice. At first he was with DR..
James MacMasters and in a few years
continued his career Individually.
Sometime later he built the well equip
ped hospital which was sold recently
to Mrs. Anna Thomason. DR.. Lamb
has always been interested in public
affairs and was ever ready to give
his services to any good cause.
On account of the unexpectedness of
his call, many did not know that DR..
Lamb was going until the news spread
around that he was gone. He left on
Saturday evening for Fort Benjamin
Harrison where he will have the rank
Of Captain. Mrs. Lamb will remain
here short time longer settling af-
fairs which the sudden departure for
babe attending to.
The good wishes of Sank Centre
will attend the doctor in his service
for the country and she will also hope
for his safe return to his native city.

OWNER IS IN CHARGE
After 20 Years of Successful Business
Charles Fiesler Disposes of Store
to O. w. DOwswelI Tuesday

Sank Centre folks were completely.
surprised Tuesday afternoon when the
news spread about the streets that
Charles Fiesler had sold his Rexall
Store, and that the new owner had
taken possession.
o. w. Dowswell is the new proprie-
tor of this. splendid business. He
comes from Kirkoven, Mimi, but for
several years prior to late last fall he
was in business at Sheyenne, N. D..
He is clean cut young business man,
and the Herald predicts that he will
soon make host of friends among
Sank Centre people. He stated that
during the past few months he has
visited nearly every part of Minneso-
ia looking over prospective locations.
but that Sank Centre appealed to him
above all others. AS soon as arrange
ments can be completed he will re-
move his family, consisting of wife
and little 9-year-old daughter to this
city. Mr.. Dowswell stated to the
Herald that he expected to make this
city his permanent home hereafter.
Naturally he is anxious to meet local
people as rapidly as possible.
Charley Fiesler has been one of the
substantial business men Of Sank
Centre for 20 years, and mis- retire
ment from business will be sincerely
regretted by the citizens of this COM
munity. He built up splendid bus
mess by close attention to details. Of
course there is much speeulafio ns-to
what he viii do In the future. 10 the
Herald this Thursday morning Mr..
.Fiesler stated that he had not decid-
ed as to what he would do in the fu-
ture. Upon being asked whether he
expected to remove his family from
Sank Centre he said he did not con-
template doing so for the present Eat
any. rate. 1t is the wish. of their host
of friends that they will continue to
make this city their home
The Herald rs pleased to note tina,
Mr.. Dowswell will retain Waite,
Bradley.

Washington, July 9.-The winter

158,OO0,OOO last year. The total crop
will total 67S,OOO,OOO bushels as COM
pared with 640,00O,OO0 in 1916. The
bureau of crop experts announced this
predipted comparison today. While po-
tatoeH are estimated at 49,, 0O0, 900
bushels in 1917, as against 285, 000;O00
bushels in 1916. There will be- 10 ,00O-
900 more bushels of sweet POTATOES
this year than last. The department
of agriculture says the American soil
is responding to- save the allies in
their crying need for food. The prom
Used increase in the production Of
wheat, hoewver, is NOR than lost in
the tremendous falling off of the
wheat supply remaining on the farms.
The high prices prevailing during the

farmers to sell. A: year ago wheat
