of Pennington county is now field

lished by the board for the collection
of board money from the estates OF
insane people now in the state asy.-
ums. A law passed by the last legis-
lature provides that insane people
must pay $40 month Cor their care
if they have sufficient financial means
and it will be Mr.. Ives work to AS
certain the financial status of the in
mates of the state institutions.
Mr.. Ives will have his headquarters
in St. Paul but may be cut around the
state a considerable portion Of the
time. Mr.. Ives will make a Compel
ent official and the board of control
is to be congratulated on having Sec
ured his services. He is likewise to be
congratulated upon his preferment.
E. w. Allen, board parole agent,

be paid for state hospital care of in
sane persons by the patients, or near

cumstances.
Its administration requires, as a
working basis, inquiries into the fin

SAUK CENTRE Will
Invade ST. CLOUD
100 AUTO LOADS OF PATRIOTIC
CITIZENS VISITED GRANITE
CITY TODAY.
FAREWELL To SOLDIER BOYS
DEMONSTRATION WILL PROVE
BEYOND DOUBT LOYALTY
OF OLD STEARNS.

Sank Centre plans to send 100
automobile loads of loyal citizens to
the monster patriotic gathering and
soldiers farewell to be held at the
Benton County Fair grounds at St.
Cloud, today, Thursday.
The City Council met in special
session last Saturday morning and
appropriated 500 to deray the nee
cessary expenses of making the trip.
The hearty response given the
movement by Sank Centre citizens has
been most gratifying. The town has
not been over enthusiastic over the
war problem, but the manner IN which
the citizens have rallied to support
the Red Cross and other patriotic
movements in the past has SATISFIED
the Herald that the city was patriotic
to the core.
The stores, banks and business
places generally will be closed III non
or of the occasion. The Sank Centre
band will accompany the citizens and
Ex-Chief of Police, George Fish, will
officiate as marshal il the monster
parade to form in the Granite City at
2 o'clock.
One of the purposes of this gath
ering is to raise funds which will be
turned over to the SOLDIER boys OF
Stearns, Benton and Sherburne coun-
ties. To swell this fund an admission
fee of so cents will be charged to eff
ter the fair ground where the cSer-
cises and amusements will take place.
The Sank Centre end of the affair
is in the hands of the following COM
mittees:
Observation-Disclosures !. A. Brown,
]. N. Jenkins and Mr.. Frank NJ. Eddy.
Decorations: President G. H'ilarud,
Alex Jamison and Prof. NJ. D. Aygarn.

MUNICIPAL PLANT DID NOT PAY.

The citizens Of Albany voted to dis
pose of their electric plant at spec
ial election held Friday of last week.
A. G. Whitney of st. Cloud has made
the citizens an offer of $4,000 for
their property exclusive of the build
ing. The voters showed but little in
terest in the question as there were
only So votes cast on the proposition,
Sc of them being in favor of selling
the plant. The plant has never paid
its way and the citizens were glad to
avail themselves of Mr.. Whitney's Of
fer. The St. Cloud general service
company will furnish the juice to light
the town in short time.

SUNDAY HUNTING VIOLATION.

Hunting on Sunday is a violation of
the Minnesota laws according to an
opinion given Tuesday by Attorney
General Lyndon A. Smith. The ques-
ton was raised because the season for
hunting small game opens this year
on Sunday, September 10th. Carlos
Avery, state game and fish commits
s:cner, said that his department had
received inquiries on the subject. "The
law quoted is one prohibiting gaming
on Sunday and has been on the stat
utes for years." said Mr.. Avery, ''but
sportsmen have never felt that it was
part Of the game regulations and lit
tie attention has been paid to it in
later years."

The young men called for Selective
Army will report at the various places
where they took their examinations on
Sept. 5, 10, and Oct. 3rd, according to
the latest instructions from the War
department. The first quota of one
third will receive instructions to re-
port Sept. 5, and the other two thirds
on the succeeding dates.
The government has made plans to
recognize those who have been ex-
amined for military duty and found
physically unfit for service. A spec
tally engraved copper button has been
prepared, and they should be retained
by the recipients. In Canada at the

high esteem as the young man who
has served his country.

MAKING A SUCCESS.

There is no ease for the successful
business man. You may think the
boss has it soft because he takes
down large profits. Look closer and
you will see that he is the hardest
worked man in the place. He deserves
the big reward. At least he works for
Ii. He is the handspring of the organ
ization. The manager and the super
intendent are important cogs in the
machine, it is true, but they are only
cOgs after all. The decision and the
says Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. If one
of the hands fimks he can be replaced.
If the master peglects the business he
loses it. The most faithful and eff.
cient employee cannot conduct anoth
er's business like the owner can.
Whether it be barber shop or a man
ufactory, IT needs attention by the pro-
prietor. If he seeks repose instead of
work he is lost, so far as mastership is
concerned. You can't make progress
without effort, and, having got in the
front rank, you cannot STAY there un-
less you make greater effort. The
"softer" your position is, the harder
will be your fall if you don't attend to
the duties. Better be a good journey
man all your life than one who b is
tasted the sweets of advanced station
and fallen back because you wer, not
faithful enough to yourself to remain
ahead.
