LOCALS LOSE TO ST. CLOUD.
Sank Centre High School Basket Ball
Team Defeated in One Sided
Contest Monday.

Sank Centre and St. Cloud high
school basket ball teams met on the
local floor Monday afternoon. Saul
Centre went into the game minus
Gamradt the star of the team an
Diebel, the other forward was not fit
to play.
ST. Cloud outweighed the locals at
least rs pounds per man, and some OF
them looked as though they were old
enough to have graduated from high
schoolse years ago.
Sank Centre with several of the
team in unfamiliar positions put up a
frightful exhibition; there was no
: team play, and while the visitors won
by a score of 80 to they are not in
the championship class by any means.
However the best team won, in spite
of the fact that the breaks of the
game went to st. Cloud. The locals
were prone to foul, and Hopkins was
sent out of the game on foul when
he was simply attempting to protec'
himself from some of the rough work
of his antagonist.

A WATER SOAKED TOWN.
Where Nearly Foot of Rain Falls
Every Week in the Year.

Where Nearly Foot of Rain Falls
Every Week in the Year.
1T is, a remarkable fact that III In
dia, one of the most arid countries in
the world, there is one spot that has
the record rainfall Of the whole EARTH"
said Dr.. William Roberts, British agri-
cultural expert in India, to a CORE
spondent of the Washington Post.
"This place is Cherapunji, in Assam.
1t is in the path Of the monsoon Nand
in valley, and there is almost con-
slant rainfall.
'The average rainfall is 600 inches a
year, or fifty feet, which is nearly
foot week. This seems almost be-
yond comprehension when, it is consid-
cred that the rainfall Of the United
States, for instance, ranges from six
teen to thirty-five inches. In some
places there have been as high as six
ty-fve inches Of water in year, but
this is the exception.
During the rainy season in Chera-
punt the waterfall is heaviest, but
there is rain throughout the year. Not
withstanding this terrific moisture, the
inhabitants of the district raise vege-
tables sand grain. They do this by
building terraces which carry the wa
ter off," !,

PAYING THE DOCTOR.
Should 1t Be. For Curing You or For
Keeping You Well?


We haven't yet learned to take adj
vantage of the resources of civilization
to anything like the extent we might.
For instance, we wait until we get
sick, and then we pay the doctor to
help us get well. 1t would be muck
more sensible to pay him to help us
keep from getting sick.
Fantastic idea, you say. Not at all.
1t already is working in large num-
Der of college communities, right here
in the state universities Of Missouri
and Kansas, for instance. In both in
situations the pupil is charged "a fee
which is applied to safeguarding his
health. In the University Of Missouri
the plan is still further developed SO
that the fee covers medical and sur
gical attendance. The health work In
both schools Is ST. interesting, not only
for what it is doing for the pupils, but
for the example it is setting other com.
munities, that it is only right and
proper to call attention to it.
The important point is that these uni
versities and other schools are proving
that health can be made much more OF
a community matter than had been
supposed and that the wise thing to dc
Is for groups to pay medical men tt
keel> them well.-Kansas City Star.

Credits for drafted men who have
enlisted before being indicted into
the national army will be given on the
second draft call, state officials as
sumed, rather than on the first.
AS the call for $500 men which has
lust been issued is to complete the
first draft, no credits will be allowed
against that number. Credits total
ing several thousand for the state are
expected to be announced from Wash
ington before another call is announc-

The $500 Minnesota troops will be
distributed among the Three Hundred

Fifty-second infantry regiments and
the Three Hundred and Thirty-seventh
artillery. This will take about 5000
men. The remainder may be sent
to other regiments or setn to the de-
pot brigade. Probably about 1000 of
the new arrivals from Minnesota will
go to the Three Hundred and
Thirteenth engineers.

of supplies have been received since

School Children
Killed at Nelson
and Barnu11, MINI.

Two terrible accidents have occurred
this week which have shocked Mime
sta and more particularly this section
of the country in which the yhappen-
ed. The reference is to the train and
bus collisions at Nelson and Barnum
on Thursday and Friday of last week.
Nelso mis- a small village near Alex
slnGria which has consolidated schools
and therefore means of transporting
the children to and from school. The
Oriental Limited, forty-five minutes
late struck tn erear end OF the Gus
throwing it and the children in a heap
at the side Of the road, Killing two
children and injuring all The remain
de. l6 in number. The driver SUI pos
ed the train had passed and a side
tracked freight train INSTRUCTED his
view. The train stopped and the
crew and passengers assisted the
townspeople with the children. This
accident was on Thursday.
The other, on Friday, and worse
than the first, was at Barnum in the
northern part of the state. Seven
were killed and ,18 were injured, in
Guiding the driver. The train, a south
bound Northern Pacific, was derailed.
Some of the bodies were ground al
most beyond recognition and the doc
tors stated that they could not have
known what occurred. The bus was a
box-like affair without windows and
the driver Mueller said he had no
chance to see the approaching train,
which was running almost on time.
All the children lived between Barnum
and Moose Lake.
Naturally, Sank Centre, with it's
consolidated districts, has been much
alarmed since these two catastrophes,
which are manifestly not coincidents.
but tragedies that could easily happen
here. The Great Northern over
whose tracks two BUSES go twice
daily, runs several trains day. Dur
ing the cold weather, the Oriental
Limited, which ordinarily passes
through about three o'clock, is any
where from half an hour to two hours
late. There have been several times
recently also when No. from Winni-
peg has been several hours late bring
ing it through Sank Centre about
school time in the morning. The The
Northern Pacifce has freight trains
running at indefinite times. Although
Supt. Aygarn has repeatedly adrnon-
ished the drivers Of the school, wagons
to be always on the watch for trains,
even before these accidents, the
Herald understands that little pre-
caution has been taken as a rule
During the mild weather on eof the
shaller children would get out and
look. Such responsibility is not to
be entrusted with little children.
Since the cold weather, no one the
greater share Of the time, has taken
the trouble to loow, believing in ''luck
first"~ instead of safety first The
Herald does not make this statement
in general of all the We buses, bu,
merely Of those fro mwhich it has hao
reports. Of course, since the TRAGEDY

TRAGEDIES LAID TO DRIVERS.

Contract Violation Caused Death of
Nine, Injury to Twenty.
Failure Of the drivers to flag their
BUSES across the railroads, as re-
quired by their contracts with the
school authorities, is blamed for the
killing of nine and injuring Of twenty
more children last week near
Barnum and near Nelson, IN a re-
port filed late Monday by C. c..
Swain, state rural school inspector,
who investigated both accidents.
The death of the eighth victim was
feared at aBrnum, the report stated.
Carl Nelson, driver, slightly injured,
was bound over to the grand jury on
a nding by the coroner's jury that
he failed to take the prescribed pre-
caution.
The third victim of the accident at
Nelson was in a critical condition
and may die. Inspector Swain said.
hTe driver was badly injured ard no
inquest has taken place.
C. G. Schuz, state superintendent
of education, late Monday sent a
letter to all county superintendent,
school boards and principals Of con-
solidated schools in Minnesota, ask
that that the special rule be called to
the attention Of drivers.

 No newspaper individual or organ ization, not being in complete posses sion of the facts, would be warranted in denouncing the postoitice depart ment officials for their actions. but all may and should insist that these circumstances be brought to light with q view to preventing an intolerable situation.
 In these war tunes it is presumed that officials are working first for the winning of the war, and second. for the infiiction of as little interruption 10 the business and community life of the country as is absolutely neces- sary. If it be found that the hardship which 1t is intended to impose on Alaskans Is war necessity, 1t will be borne without complaining. But if it should be found that there is no ne Cessity for the changed conditions, with their inevitable loss and incon- venience. the people of Alaska will demand that the service heretofore in vogue be restored.
