Sank Centre Young Men
are Said to be in Trou-
bic in South Dakota

The following from Monday even
ing's st. Cloud Journal Press is Of in
terest as two young men said to be
from Sank Centre are involved:
While Sheriff Beachy and Chief of
Police Martin of Webster, S. D., were
searching for Warren Raymond, a
farm hand employed on farm near
Webster who had robbed another hand
of $133.10, they saw an automobile
travelling at rapid speed over a near
by road. Suspecting Raymond was
driving it they faced about and halted
the automobile TO find two young
men of Sank Centre, Mimi, who
aroused the suspicion of the officers.
A search revealed several bottles of
whiskey and beer in the Minnesota
car, and the two occupants were ar
rested for violating tie law prohibiting
the Importation Of liquor into South
Dakota.
The two officers then proceeded on
their way and soon afterward succeed
ed in catching the fugitive thief.

A LIVE BUNCH.

A dozen Sank Centre young ladies
spent the week end at the Emerson
cottage, Little Birch lake, and it is
mortal cinch that the rest of the
lake jewellers were aware of their
presence every minute of the three
days. They proved beyond doubt
that bunch of live ones can have a
real time without the aid Of number
of the male Of the specie. The climax
to the whole outing was the mock
wedding a regular military affair,
performed la Episcopal. Every
bloomin' thing necessary for a sue
cessful wedding was provided, but
the man, and one of the young ladies
made splendid substitute. The SER
vice is said to have been unique and
different" and the presents were in
keeping with the rest of the program.
A number of those living and visiting
at the lake were permitted to enjoy
the show.

U. S. FOOD FACTS

Approximately 10000 bushels of
wheat have been marketed in Mime
sofa during July under orders of spec
ial representatives of the state food
administration. The wheat was held
by individuals who failed to comply
with the food administration order to
market their wheat by May Is aid as
a consequence made themselves liable
to prosecution, under the food control
act. Violators We're listed in Brown,
Nicollet, Redwood, Renville, Mcleod,
Clay, Blue Earth, Cottonwood and
Scott counties and in every instance
the hoarders made donations to the
Red Cross, rather than stand prosecu-
ton under the food act. Total Red
Cross contributions paid under this
Investigation is approximately $4,000
and several thousand dollars worth of
war savings stamps and Liberty bonds
We're bought in addition by individuals
who had previously failed to identify
themselves with any war work or take
their quota of bonds or stamps. Vivian

Brown and neighboring counties, A..

the Clay county hoarder-a man with

A state food administration exhibit
at the Minnesota state fair, early in
September, occupying 1000 square feet
of space in the agricultural building
is being arranged for now by members
of the staff of the administration. The
three essential features of food con-
trol-production, distribution and con-
servation-will be graphically pictur-
ed through exhibits that will
show the various elements that enter
into each different factor and will
show what the people of Minnesota
have accomplished in year of food
administration and by what means
that accomplishment was made pos
sible.

Out of the last harvest the Ameri-
can people by abstinence saved 140.-
100000 bushels of wheat to feed the
hungry Allied nations. The indica-
lions, are that these same people are
going to stay right on the sugar job
and see it through.
In districts where a shortage in the
supply of ice is either evident or
probable, the food administration
points out that there are many ice
economies through the season. The
absence, of ice in the household
refrigerator is a menace to health
through the possible spelling of milk
and other foods and because it de-
prives the people of very important
comfort during condition of weather
when it is most difficult to maintain

THE GOLDEN WEDDING ami
versary of one of Sank Centres most
sincerely loved couples was approp-
riately observed last Thursday when
the older members of the Congrega-
tional church surprised Mr.. and Mrs.
C. M. Bryant of Hoboken. Although
the day was mistaken for Thursday,
properly falling on Friday, the event
was no less appreciated by all con-
cerned. About 80 guests arrived
shortly after three and remained until
six. Light refreshments of ice cream
and waters were served. The surprise
to the elderly couple was complete. A
beautiful chair was presented to them
by the guests as a fitting remem-
brance of the occasion
Mr.. and Mrs. Bryant have been
residents of Sank Centre since th'
time the young husband came here
with his bride of few months. What
their influence in the community has
been and still is, was beautifully ex-
pressed by Mrs. c, c. Tobey in a
poem which she read before the
gathering. The lateness of the hour
when the poem was received, coupled
with lack of space made it impossible
to reproduce it in these columns.
THE w. R. C. AT THEIR LAST
meeting added four new members. A
silver star was placed upon their SER
vice fafi in honor of Herbert Coyle,
who volunteered in the Canadian fore
es in the spring of 1917, later he be-
came ill and was honorably discharg-
ed in October. At the close of their
meeting tea and waters were served.
