Rev. C.. H. Blake of Long Prairie,
the pastor of the Methodist church
was installed in the office of grand
master of Minnesota Odd Fellows at
the annual meeting held in Minneapo-
lis last week.
A new fire alarm system similar to
the one used in Sank Centre is to be
installed in Long Prairie in the near
future. Instead of bell, however, the
village is to have an l8-inch cleo
gong which can be heard for Is city
blocks. The telephone operator can
also ring simultaneously 80 telephones
in the homes of the firemen.
John Solinger, Isidore Schultenover,
Edward Stahlboerger, John Kilian and
George Wampach of Melrose left on
Thursday, June IA to enlist in the
United States service. Five hundred
people turned out to bid them fare
well, salute of three guns was given
and chorus sang patriotic songs.
This is the largest group that has left
Melrose to- join the colors.
The Norwegian synod, the United
Church and the Hauge synod united on
June 9 1917, and the union of the
three branches has been named the
Norwegian Lutheran church Of
America. In all the churches of the
land of that denomination, bells were
rung at Z o'clock in the morning to
announce the union. This union marks
great event in church history.
The postoffice department is send
ing out bulletins urging the people to
use the highest denomination stamps
possible. For instance, instead of US
ing two one-cent stamps, use one two
cent samp, and instead of using two
fives, use one ten. Thus the cost of
making stamps can be minimized, as
we'll as the cost of material, which will
be a great saving to the govern
ment.
Little Sank, a village about II
miles north of Sank Centre is to
have a bank. The articles of incor-
poration have been filed and the con-
struction of building will start at
once. Little Sank citizens are very
much interested in the bank and have
heavy holdings. H. S. Nelson of st.
Paul and his son are the promoters.
The institution will have capital of
$4,000 with surplus of $4,000.

accident was the fate of Henry Breed
of Round Grove township short time
ago. The boy went to the barn in the
evening ohouse the geese from the
rain. On his way back he pulled HI;
cap down over his eyes, pit his h
down and made a run for the house.
He ran into hay rack with a board
projecting from it. 1t punctured his
stomach and bladder tearing his in
testines loose. He died the next eve
ming.
Henry Howell, a farmer with eigf
children living near Dawson, bought
Liberty Bonds enough to supply his
whole family with one each in the re-
cent campaign. In the beginning he
bought six, but later came back foc
four more. 81 figure it out" said he,
"that the product of one setting hen
would pay the difference in interest
between six bonds and ten and con-
cluded that if my citizenship was
worth anything it was worth the eff
forts one setting hen"
Herman Utermark farmer
west of Wadena got himself into trou-
BILE the other day when he let his pro
German sentiments get the better of
him. A delegation of men asked him
to invest in a Liberty bond. He re-
fused, saying: 81 will never buy a
bond or donate cent for the war. l
don't want the United States to win
the war. The German government is
four times better than the gov
eminent of the United States. l
would rather fly the white flag OF
peace than the stars and stripes.
Drastic measures will probably be re-
sorted to.
The Little Falls Power Company has
been out of luck lately. This company
supplies Long Prairie and several
other towns along the line with cleo
tricity and just as it was already to
give them the juice, some OF the trans
formers burned out. New ones final
ly arrived after some weeks of impa-
tient waiting and Immediately upon
their installation some more burned
out. Another wait. Besides having
disguised customers, the company is
out hundreds of dollars. Sank Centre
has a deep sense Of satisfaction in
having done the right thing by insist
ing upon owning her own plant.
