Dear Mother:
Well, today is Thanksgiving day
and / sure had very pleasant time.
We have some very fine nurses here,
and there Is nothing too good for the
boys in the hospital. They served
dinner in the Office today for the bed
patients, and those that were not able
TO walk were carried in and seated at
the table, and we certainly had a
swell dinner, which consisted OF Tur-
key. dressing, mashed potatoes, celery
cheese, bread, butter. jam. pumpkin
and chocolate pie, coffee, cream, ap-
pies and nuts-some dinner. Just like
being at home and they certainly try
70 make the boys feel at home as much
as possible. The Red Cross is a won
derful organization and has certainly
helped to make things as pleasant for
the boys as they possibly could all
during this war.
Don't know what we would do with
out them. No matter where we are
there are always Red Gross workers
around to administer every little
thing that we need for our comfort
The boys will never forget what the
Red Cross has done for them during
those last few months OF hard lighting

WATER GETS HIGH.

Creek Valley and Road.

Threatens City Work, Floods Linn
Creek Valley and Road.
Flood water caused, by the melting
snow and rain early in the week. that
reached the Iowa river thru its tribu-
taries and filled the narrow bed Of Linn
creek, caused the water in both
streams to rise rapidly Tuesday. Linn
creek spread out of it's banks inside
the city limits and flooded low ground.
Water in the river, which carried out
most Of the ice Tuesday, threatened
the work done on the new city dam by
the Hey-Keeler Construction Com
pany. Linn creek quickly subsidized
and was within its banks today. The
river still was slowly rising this fore
noon, but 1t was expected that it would
be at standstill or receding by night
because at Marietta 1t was reported go
ing down this forenoon.
Tuesday afternoon it was feared that
the water in the channel across which
the dam Is being built to protect the
water main from the water fieldswould
rise over the Golfer dam protecting the
new work and would wash out the
forms set for concrete. Workmen en-
ployed by the city, Marshall Ice Com
pany, and the contractors who are
building the dam. were all engaged in
reinforcing and extending the dam.
Only little more concrete had to be
poured to put the dam out Of danger
from being damaged by water If the
Golfer dam were overlooked.
Linn creek spread out Of its banks
and across South Sixth street and over
East Main street to a depth of about
three feet near Eighteenth avenue.

J. jolly Jones Of Strand Says He Is
Not Paying the War Tax But the
People Pay lt-Theaters Of U. S. Col.
Ieetina $1,000, 900 Day War Revenue

Far be it from me. poor ignorant
theater Manager, to tell the public
what is not good for them; but when
some poor deluded mortal takes 1t
upon his shoulders to tell the public
that they should stay away from the
movies during the period Of the war
1T sure arouses my ire. Why in Eng
land and Canada the government tells
the home folks to attend amusements
as it tends to distract the mind from
dull care. 1 personally defy any one
who has worries or business cares to
attend this theater and sit during tho
showing of a worth while picture and
saw that the picture didn't divert their
mind.
A war tax revenue Of 100000 a
day is derived from the picture shows
in the United States each and every
day. and the public pays 1t, not the
theater manager, so when someone
over-zealous, but none to well in
formed says stay away from the
movies he is talking against the United
States government not the movie
owner, as the war tax Is taken from
the gross every day and not the net.
You who read this are likely to ask
what is that chap Jones trying to get
off his chest It's just this. Empty
Pockets showing at the Strand
Thursday and Friday. is a whfrlwind
Of picture and Jones is after the
crowd and Is going to show the picture
at Is cents, war tax extra, in order to
get 1t within the reach of all. 1t is at
the least price worth 25 cents. so lets
all join hands and trip lightly to the
Strand and view Empty Pockets" ana
should it not come up to expectations,
get q half Nelson on Jones and make
him refund the admission price.-Ad-

AMUSE MENTS.
At the Strand.

Jules of the Strong Heart, with
George Beban in the leading role, is the
current attraction at the Strand. The
play which is founded upon story
that appeared in Golfers is Virile'
thrilling, full Of the milk Of human
kindness, and replete with the romance
and odor Of the pine forests. 1t con-
tains real heart interest and baby
adds a touch of sympathy that is very
appealing.
The story introduces Jules, who,
carrying a wee baby in his arms, comes
singing down into a Canadian LUMBER
camp, where most of the scenes are
laid. His first thought Is to secure milk
for the youngster and after that he at
tends to his own wants. securing en-
ployment among the rough woodsmen.
OF all the persons in camp Jules finds
JOY Farnsworth, daughter OF the super
intendent, the most sympathetlc. he
finds that he has several rivals FOR her
affections, among them one burly lum-
herman named Jim Burgess. HOW ne
discovers that Burgess Is thief and
scoundrel of the worst sort, and sue.
ceeds in saving the camp pay ron
during a terrific storm in which ne anu
BURGESS are tossing about on the river
and how Joy, who had been made sus-
picious of Jules by Burgess insinuatins
remarks about the baby, comes TO nno
out Jules great sacrifice, so to make
ND a strong photo-play that is ooth
wholesome and refreshing.
George Beban as Jules Lemaire,
laughing, singing. hish-spirited ana
whole-souled trapper from the great
forests Of the Canadian wilds, has
role that is absolutely suited to MS
talents and one in which he finds OPP
portunity for the exercise OF all ms
faculties of character delineation. Mr..
Beban has the support of an excellent
cast.
A reel of the Ford Educational
weekly, and a comedy entitled Hist
Spies!" featuring Mr.. and Mrs. S'o-
ney Drew, is shown also.

WHEN ARE EARNINGS NOT
EARNINGS?

Elsewhere in this issue OF the Her
aid is an advertisement to be paid fol-
by A. G. Whitney in which he dis
cusses the recent official statement OF
the light and power plant made to the
citizens of Sank Centre by the City
Clerk.
Mr.. Whitney claims the statement
made by Mr.. Cooper is misleading and
that the plant did not in fact earn
what the statement claims it did.
The Herald is not defending the
city authorities in any sense, bit the
cold facts remain that the state'nen
shows an inventory gain on cash and
materials of $826.96 and it accounts
for certain investments and other
assets amounting to $8,237.51, a total
of S9,664.47 which seems 30 have
been earned by the Plant. At least
all of this money has come out OF the
earnings of the Light and Power Plant
without doubt. ....-
Very likely however, City Clerk
Cooper will give Mr.. Whitney the IN
formation he asks for in the Herald
of next week.-A M. w.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-04-18

ago in singing letter of reb1ke re-
fused to address Mr.. Townely's hand
picked convention in ST. Paul, the
writer warmly approved. A day OF
two later when Mr.. Townley nominal
ed Chas. Lindbergh the erratic, as ms
candidate for governor, the duty OF
loyal citizens of the state was PLAIN
Although Lindbergh for many years
has ceased to be Republican as soon
as he had filed for office, it was appar-
emit that he would file as Republican
candidate for Governor.
The Herald is thoroughly convinced
that Townely is disloyal in spite of his
professions of the present hour. VIC
do not wish to insinuate that the great
body of farmers who are affiliated
with the Non-partisan League are dis
loyal. But the fact remains thai
Townley and his small bunch OF adj
yisors are the League in fact. They
will rule and dictate the politics OF
the League with an iron hand. Lind
bergh was not collected as the Non
partisan candidate for governor unit
Townley knew where he stood. Tax
ing Lindbergh's past record as crlter-
ion, together with his written articles,
the Herald is quite satisfied that were
he in Congress today he would have
stood with LaFollette and other dis
loyalists in hampering the govern
ment's war plans. His ego and erratic
nature makes him destroyer instead
of a constructionist.
Under the circumstances all loyal
citizens of the state should forget
their personalities and get back OF
the candidacy of Gov. Burnquist. The
nomination of Lindbergh would be a
notice to the rest of the country that
the loyalty of the great state of Min
nesota was at least doubtful.-A. M.
