Bankers Association held at Little
Falls Wednesday of last week.
When the time came for selecting
the place of holding the 1918 meeting
there were several active contestants.
The Sank Centre man is quite regular
in his attendance at public gatherings
and always has with him a standing
invitation from this city to any worthy
organization to meet here. Like Ted
dy, he threw "his hat into the ring"
on behalf of Sank Centre. This rather
gummed the cards and the contest i'm
mediately narrowed down to this city
and Brainerd. AS soon as the dele
gates were made cognisant of the man.

meeting place. Sank Centre won. The
convention will be held some time in
May next year.

Organize Red Gross Chapter
All Should Lend Co-Operatllon

supplies for the hospitals made in
Sank Centre are sent out from the
local Red Cross, Sank Centre will re-
ceive the proper credit, which might
not, and very likely would not be the
case, if they were sent out through
some other agency. The city's iden-
tity would be lost in the shipment with
a state organization.
The Red Cross movement is large
enough and should embrace the City
government, all churches, schools
clubs, fraternal organizations and
civic bodies in Sank Centre. The men
can assist materially and it is their
duty to do so. Under the National
Red Cross plan there are annual sub
scribing, contributing, sustaining, pa
iron and life members. A percentage
of the receipts go to the Natioal Or
ganization; the balance remains in To-
cal treasury for supplies.
The Masonic Building association
has turned the Masonic Temple over
to the Red Cross girls and they will
give dance there Monday evening,
May %. They expect to sell at least
100 tickets for this function, and they
should do so without effort.
The National Red Cross Association
has signified a willingness to send a
speaker to Sank Centre to thoroughly
explain the work and object Of the or
ganization. This speaker will come
for railroad fare and entertainment
The organization of the local chapter
has not progressed sufficiently as yet
to- definitely set the date for sthe
speaker, but when she comes due no.
tice will be given of a mass meeting
to be held in the Junior High School
auditorium.
In the meantime Sank Centre folks
should get back of the Red Cross
movement and do their bit. Your coun-
try needs, this assistance. Japan has
100000 members of the Red Cross
Prior to war being declared the United
States had 100000.

PROHIBIT USE OF
GRAIN IN LIQUOR
U. S. SENATE PASSES MEASURE
EFFECTIVE SEPT. I'm
FORCE DURING WAR
If House CONCURS ITS A Law
AMENDMENT ABSOLUTELY FOR
BIDDING SALE OF ALL LII
QUOR is DEFEATED

Washington, May ia long step
towards making the nation "dry'
throughout the war period was taken
by the senate last night. By vote of
3S to 80 the Cummins amendment to
the espionage bill prohibiting the use
OF grains, cereals and syrup in the
manufacture of alcoholic beverages was
adopted.
The amendment was accepted after
an all afternoon fight to modify it
Before it becomes law, however, the
concurrence of House will be seces-
sary. There was nothing last night
to indicate the sentiment of the lower
branch on the question.
The text of the Cummins amend
ment follows:
"That on and after September - L
1917, and during the period of the war
with the Imperial government of Ger
many it shall be unlawful to use or
employ, directly or indirectly any
cereals, grain, sugar or syrups, in the
production of intoxicating liquor in
any form or of any kind, provided,
however, that nothing in this section
shall be construed to prohibit the use
of such syrups for the manufacture of
wines as now provided under the law,
and it is further provided that this
section shall not be. construed to make
unlawful the manufacture CT alcohol
or intoxicating liquor for mechanical,
medicinal, sacramento or scientific
purposes under rules and regulations
to be prescribed by the secretary of
the treasury.
"Violation of this section shall be
punished by a fine of not more than
$4,000 or by Imprisonment of not more
than three years or both.
Senator Phelan of California sue
ceeded in having the amendment modi
fed to prevent its application to the
manufacture of wine. AS introduced
by Senator Cummins the amedment
would have prevented the use of any
kind of edible things in the manufac-
ture of alcoholic liquors, but Senator
Phelan pesuaded the Senate to pro-
tect the wine making industry of his
state by striking out edible things
and substituting "sugar and syrup"
Senator Wadsworth of New York
lead the fight to amend the amend
ment to exempt the manufacture Of all
except spirituous liquors. He declared
that the amendment would ruin an i'm
portant industry. His amendment was
defeated, however, AZ to 81.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota
tried to have substitute accepted for
the Cummins amendment prohibiting
the use of every kind of foodstuffs in
the, manufacture of alcohol. He de-
clared success in the war depended
largely on the conservation of food
stuffs and that any steps that were
taken to prevent waste were justified.
Senator Reed of Missouri, author of
the "bone dry" measure preventing
the shipment Of liquor into dry states,
startled the senate by offering an
amendment absolutely forbidding the
sale of liquor during the war. He sue
ceeded in gaining considerable sup
port for the measure but it was finally
voted down At to Is.

INACCURATE SUI.
FRAGE MOVEMENT
IN SAUk CENTRE
LARGE MEETING TO BE HELD AT
JUNIOR AUDITORIUM ON
SATURDAY EVENING.
DIR. NC CULLOM JONES WILL
BE SPEAKER FOR OCCASION
LADY is A GIFTED AND FORCE
Full R-ADMISSION
FREE TO EVERYONE

Woman Suffrage will make it's debut
in Sank Centre Saturday night May
10, at the Junior auditorium, when DR..
Ellie McCullom Jones, who is touring
the state of Minnesota in these inter-
ests, viii lspeak at mass meeting to
be held there. She is a member of
the National Suffrage association of
which Mrs. Carrie Chapman is leader.
Mrs. Charles F. Mohler of Pinewood
was in Sank Centre last Saturday ar
ranging for the meeting and found
much interest and enthusiasm. The
meeting will be given under the aus
pices of the Gradatim club of Sank
Centre.
Mrs. Jones' lecture will be on Ma
tional aid. She will also take up suf-
frage and thrift. Admission will be
free, but the hat will be passed after
the lecture and the money collected
in this way will be used for the cause.
Several prominent men and women of
Sank Centre will be on the platform
and DR.. ]. A. Dubois will introduce
the speaker.
This is the first time that such an
undertaking has been attempted in
this city and it is hoped that the au-
ditorium will be filled with people. AL
though Sank Centre may not be
strong for suffrage, yet they should
be willing to listen and be convinced.
The pubic and especially men are
wanted.
DR.. Effie McCollum Jones has al
ways been an ardent suffraggist but
not until the last few years, when the
call for leaders become so urgent, did
she devote her entire time to the suf-
frage cause. Having been elected as
Dean of Women at Lombard College,
Galesburg, ILL.,, she was just about to
take up her duties when she was pre-
vailed upon to take the platform in
the interest of suffrage.
DR.. Jones has filled many positions
Of honor and trust, among them be-
ing the very responsible position of
trustee of Lombard College. This in
stitution conferred upon her the hon
orary degree of D. D. She is one of
less than half a dozen women in the
country to be so honored.
Born on a farm and having receiv-
ed her very early education in the dis
trict school, DR.. Jones is thoroughly
conversant with the problems that
confront the farm man and woman
and the residents of the small COM
munities.
AS an orator she is at once eloquent
and forceful, keen thinker and car
ries her discourse to logical conclu-
sion.
Those who know DR.. Jones intimate
ly think of her not as lecturer or as
magnetic leader in big cause, but
as home woman, the mother of two
beautiful daughters and charming
hostess over home where many dis
tinguished persons have been enter
tanned.

uary when he was forced to leave on
account of his increasing poor heath.
After this he went to Anoka and ST
Paul in search of medical help, but
could receive no encouragement. His
condition was tubercular and it was
of that he died last Monday.
The funeral was held this Thurs
day afternoon at the Congregational
church, the Rev. c. S. Sparkes officiat-
ing. A short service was also held by
the members of the Odd Fellow lodge
of which he was a member. Inter-
ment was at Greenwood cemetery.
The pallbearers were chosen from
those of his classmates who were in
the city and from his lodge. They
were: C. c. Gingery, H. L. Austin,
John Hansen, Richard Eddy, Henry
Ryndholm, Fay Hoffman.
Those who survive him are his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Wicklund,
one sister, Miss Lottie Wicklund, and
four brothers, Robert of this t city,

Word has been received from the
Rev. F. E. Anthony refusing the call
extended by. the Episcopal church of
Sank Centre, on account of his very
poor health. Mr.. Anthony's physi-
clans have ordered a year of complete
restszfter which it is hoped he will be
able to take up teh work again. Sank
Centre had been looking forward to
the day when Mr. Anthony would again
take up his work here, and the parish
toner's of the Good Samaritan parish
will be greatly disappointed at the
news.

SENIORS TO GIVE CLASS PLAY
Tomorrow Night, May Is, Class Will
Stage Annual Event in Junior
High Auditorium

"The Professors Love Story" when
will be preseted Friday nigth
May Is, is arousing a great deal Of
interest and curiosity. The play IS
being put on by members of the grad
uating class. AS has been shown dur
ing frequent oratorical contests and
debates during the winter, these stu
dents have talent and it will play up
to the best advantage in this English
comedy. The seat sale has been very
good so far which is encouraging to
the cast. Sank Centre has always
been loyal to anything which pertains
to their school and the house will be
full. The proceeds from this play will
be used by the class in a practical gift
to the school.
'The Professors Love Story" was
written by James M. Barrie the fam
Gus author of "The Little Minister
It is comedy in three acts. Act l
takes place in the Professors study
at London, Act II in a wheat field at
Tullochmain and Act III at the Pro-
fessor's cottage in Tullochmain. The
trend Of the story can be gathered by
this brief synopsis: The Professor, a
scientific man, finds himself unable
to concentrate his mind upon his work
and believes he is ill. He calls his ply
stefan, who decides he is in love. The
doctor tells the Professor that he is in
love, but will not tell him who it is.
The Professor SCOTS at the idea and
goes to Tullochmain to get away from
the woman but takes his secretary
with him, who happens to be the very
person with whom he is unknowingly
in love. The actual working out of the
love affair occupies the rest of the
time Cast of cha ractars.
