DAWSON STORE ROBBED.

The Dawson Cooperative mer-
camille store was relieved of more
than $500 worth of silks last Wednes-
day morning. When the door was
opened in the morning bolt of white
goods on the counter told that some
thing had happened. The cotton had
evidentaly been used to wrap the
silks. The glass in the front door was
cut, the burglars having reached in
this way and opened the Yale lock.
That the thieves knew their business
was shown by the way in which they
chose the best silks, leaving the
cheaper grades untouched.

Sauk Centre Red Gross
.-Actiuities Increasing in
@ ) Gratifying Name,

Red Cross activities continue to
grow in Sank Centre, in fact, they
are becoming dominating factor in
each persons life, especially that of
the woman. Memberships continue
to pour in also and the new names
will be published from time to time.
It was reported to the Herald recent
ly that some people were complaining
because they had not been solicited
for memberships by Red Cross COM
mittees and more than that, did not
know where to go to secure member
ships. 1t seems hardly worth the
time to answer complaint of this
sort. The Red Cross committees are
not making a house to house canvass.
Any person who has lived in Sank
Centre during the two Red Cross
drives should know where to 60 to
join. If they do not, try Mrs. Moyni-
han, the people at the Herald office
or the Boston store. If they have no
blanks they will get some. However,
the Herald realizes it is much easier
to find fault than to bother about
"doing your bit"
Because space will not permit en-
larging upon the Red Cross work the
clubs and orders are doing, it can be
only mentioned that the following or
CARNATIONS are devoting special time
from their regular meetings. On Tues
day night the Eastern Star voted to
work before and after each meeting;
the Monday Musical will hereafter
meet at two o'clock and work until
the regular hour for program; the
Gradatim work during the program;
the San Souci ladies bring their
knitting and sewing and constantly
threaten the men; the Third Division
of the Congregational church meet
frequently at the home of Mrs. L. j.
Irish; the Afternoon Bridge Club will
hereafter either sew or knit at their
meeting or not meet at all; sewing
classes meet every aftrnoon with Mrs.
Hilsdale and there are Surgical dress
ings classes almost every afternoon
and evening.
Following is the new schedule for
Surgical dressing classes.
Monday ............... 7:30 P. M.
tuesday .,............... T:OO +. M.
Wednesday .......... 1:30 p. M.
Thursday ................ 500 P. M.
FRIDAY .......... ....... 1:30 +. M.
Z All classes open for every one
men included. Cutting every after
noon except Thursday and Saturdays
and on some mornings. Anyone who is
willing to offer their much needed SER
vices will please notify Miss Rowe at
the residence of Burton Rowe, or Mrs.
j. F. Dubois. Today, Jan. II, a box
containing 212O separate dressings
were packed and sent to Minneapolis.
This is an excellent record.
The following shipments have been
made by the sewing classes. Dec. 20,

II any man has failed TO see the
eason why he should cut his plenti-
ful apporttonment OF two spoonfuls
OF sugar to the one Of wartime, he
can find out easily enough by in
curing from official OF the depa rtment
OF agriculture, who explain the world
vide shortag e-especiaiI among the
allies-in the supply of sweets
Not only has the supply OF sugar in
some parts of the United States been
short. but there has been an actual
shortage of mora than 1000 900 tons
annually in the world since tho war
began, and the shortage is likely to
continue. the experts who have studied
the matter say. primarily because OF
sugar mills and the devastation Of a
considerable area OF sugar producing
lands in Europe.
Prior to the war practically all Of
the beitigerept countries, with the ex :
ception Of Great Britain and Italy. ex-
ported sugar. the total amount being
upward of 100000 tons War. how
ever, has changed the sugar produc-
ton map. and at the same time has
shifted the channels of trade. In 1918
IT Is estimated by the experts Of the
department that the allies must I'M
port a minimum OF 1000, 900 tons OF
sugar.
Formerly the United Kingdom and
france dependeQ TO considerable ex-
! tent upon Germany. Austro- Hungary
Belgium and Russia for sugar. These
Sc urces were shut off by the war The
United Kingdom alone thus lost the
source Of more than half her normal
supply OF sugar and has turned 10 new
as well as other old sources for her
supply.
The changes TINS brought abouft
have been largely a diversion Of the
product OF Mauritfus TO Great Britain
instead Of to India, and an expansion
Of the imports OF unreaned sugar from
Cuba, the Philippines and Peru. For
refined sugar she drew upon the United
states and Java. However. the allies
cannot turn to such exporting coun-
tries as Java and Mauritius without
being forced TO go much longer
distance and over much longer dis
tance and over more periious route
than across the Atlantic II the allies
are compelled to go to these countries
It win require an extra amount o
shipping which is needed for trans
portation of American soldiers and
supplies to France and England
Russias exports practically ceased
In 1914. and she Is now reported as
somewhat short of sugar. Ttaiy's crop

Managed by His Mother So as to Keep
Him Innocent
This year Wilie's mother decided

and thus avoid getting tough with
the neighbor boys, so Willie has been

the shipyards, and making more
money than father was making when
he was forty-eight years old and sup
porting large family. Above a
chocolate nut sundae and an ice cream
cone occasionally, Willie has no views
about spending money, and his wealth
is dazing him. Mother has argued
him into depositing II in her care,
and there are large arguments every
evening about what is to be done with
IL. Mother does not care particularly,
just so the boy does not make wrong
use OF it. She is hoping that it will
end in Willie putting it in the bank at
or per cent and when he Is
twenty -one he may then go down and
get 1t and buy out national bank or
something.
So far as Willie is concerned, he Is
completely saved from the tough boys
that infest the vacation season. but IL
develops that there is some toughness
where he works. Willie has brought
two or three stories home that sur
prised even father, and he has some
