Liberty Loan committee for this
state to the Bottineau county
Liberty Loan committee says:
"Our share in the Fourth Liber-

task the people of our state have
ever been called upon to perform.
It is important and necessary
that your allotment be taken IN
full. Each county must do it's
share and every citizen is urged
To holm mako a record for North
Dakota that will be highly cred
liable to our state"

Commencement Exer-
cises Last EDening At
tract Splendid Audience

The Commencement exercises which
were held last evening at the Junior
auditorium were the last honors paid
to the class of 1918. This was the
38th annual commencement of the
Sank Centre schools. A large class
was graduated, with Gilbert Stegner
winning highest honors and Denton
Reed, second. Both young men ac-
quilted themselves in their respective
speeches in a manner that was a credit
to the school. The music was especial
ly pleasing. DR.. Weld of the Moor
head Normal gave an instructive and
interesting address on Education in
the Great Crisis
The Herald is pleased to observe
that Willis Benson was among those
who graduated. His name was not
recommended to the board previously,
but through some good hard work, he
made his grade and was qualified to
graduate. The young man is to be
congratulated.
On account of getting this issue of
the Herald out earlier than usual
owing to Memorial Day, it is impos-
sible to give more space to the .exer-
cises until next week, when full ac-
count will appear.

|Baccdldureate Services
Sunday Euening At
tracts Large Audience

The Baccalaureate services for the
graduating class of 1913 opened Sum
day evening with the professional of
the Glee Club and the class singing
"Day is Dying in the West" The
members of the class took seats
reserved for them in the body of the
auditorium, while the chorus pro-
ceeded to their places on the rostrum.
After the invocation by Rev. Stein
and the scripture reading by Rev.
Boone, the Glee Club sang the an
them, 'The Lord is Great" which
proved the ability of the young people
to remarkable extent.
Rev. w. Walter Blair of Mime
apolis, who delivered the baccalau-
reate address was introduced by the
Rev. Sparkes. Rev. Blair took fol
his text, "What lack / yet" from St
Matthew. He did not fiatter the class
to THE extent of telling them that they
had now reached the pinnacle of learn
ing, had finished their efforts in edu-
cation or anything of the sort. To be
exact, Mr.. Blair was not the fatter-
ing kind, but man made of hard
common sense with an earnest desire
to pound some of same into whomso-
ever he had occasion to come in con-
tact.
The speaker said that there were
i've things to which every normal be-
ing aspired and he defed anyone with
in hearing to refute his findings
They were good position, happiness
plenty of money, an easy life and a
good name. He pointed out as nearly
as he could the way to get everything
but an easy life. That, asserted the
gentleman, was an impossibility, fol-
the reason that everyone always
thinks it will be little bit easier just
over the other hill. The rest of them
could be attained through oneself
only. Enlargement on the five main
points of his topic, the speaker ex-
pounded and advised for about an
hour, every moment of which was full
of interest and profit. If the baccalau-
reate sermon preached to the class OF
1918 does not remain with them until
many years have passed, there is
something wrong with the class.
The audience joined with the Glee
Club in singing America" This is
the first time the new air has been
sung in a public audience at Sauk
Centre and the people were not
familiar with the tune. However, they
came out strong on the seasy" lines
and in enthusiasm were far from lack
ing. For real noise though, they
would prefer the good old tune, even
thought it does SAVIOR Of "God Save
the King"
The Rev. Goodger pronounced the
benediction after which the occasional
Onward Christian Soldiers" conclud-
ed the program.

ALLOTMENT roo LARGE

Wednesday Of this week A. F. Sire
bel and Benz. F. Dubois of Sank Cen
tire, C. J. Schaub Of st. Cloud were in
Minneapolis conferrng with the men in
charge of the Liberty Loans and War
Savings Stamps for the Ninth Federal
Reserve district, relative to the allot-
ment for Stearns county. During the
last Liberty Loan drive, Western
Stearns was particularly hard hit: For
instance Ashley township in this coun-
ty, was apportioned $4,000 while
Westport township adjoining in Pope
county, including Westport village,
was apportioned $4,000. The drive
for the War Savings Stamps will start
June 6 and the local men went down
to see if a fair allotment could be ar
ranged for this county. The citizens
of this section are willing to do their
bit alright but they do not feel that
they ought to be called upon to do
more than townships in other counties
adjoining them.

Thursday of next week an intensi-

Undoubtedly people will feel that
this drive comes pretty closely upon
the heels of the Third Liberty Loan
bond sale, and that is undoubtedly
true, but the reality is not so bad after
all.
Late in year 1917 the treasury de-
partment set about to raise two billion
dollars by the sale of War Savings
stamps. The big idea back of this sale
as the Herald understands it was to
encourage the man, woman and child
of small means to become more deeply
interested in the government through
the purchase of the War Savings

The members of the G. A. r. and
w. r. G. attended the Congregational
church on Sunday morning for their
annual Memorial service. Promptly
at 1000 they filed into the church and
occupied the seats reserved for them
The service which followed was a
bright and inspiring one though not
lacking the real spirit Of meorial-
All the hymns were accompanied BY
the organ and comets giving a mill
tary ring to the service. Special music
was also rendered by the choir. The
pastor was assisted by Rev. Walter
Blair of Minneapolis. The sermon
was preached by Rev. G. S. Sparkes
from the text "For We Wrestle Not.
Against Flesh and Blood, but Against
Principalities, Against Powers" The
message was stirring one understood
and appreciated by the veterans as
well as the congregation. Many Of
the Home Guard were present in uni

Stamps. As an investment they are
the best in the world as they carry
four per cent interest compounded
quarterly. Many who are not able to
invest $50 in a Liberty Bond can and
should buy war savings and Thrift
Stamps.
{ But to get back to the drive to
start next week. What is wanted at
this time is pledges to take the War
Savings Stamps. They can be paid
for any time before December first of
this year. If the War Savings stamp
sale shall fail it will simply mean that
another Liberty Loan drive will come
quicker than if the stamps are sold.
Unlike the bonds the War Saving
Stamps can be converted into cash up
on ten days notice. Of course the
government does not encourage this
idea but it will take over the stamps
If the owner really needs the money.
Friday evening of last week Chair
man A. F. Strebel of Western Stearns
county called in 20 of the Sank Centre
business and professional men to talk
over ways and means of putting the
drive across in this territory. The
meeting was held at the Commercial
Club rooms. After thorough dis
cussion of the matter it was decided
to hold a meeting in each of the %
school districts in the four townships
making up this district. Numbers
were placed in hat and each one of
Che men was assigned to district.
These meetings will be held simultaen-
ously Friday evening, June z, at 8
o'clock, and the local members of the
board in these districts are expected
to have the people in those districts
present at these meetings at which
time the, War Savings and Thrift
Stamps viii be fully explained to them
and they win be. expected to take
their allotment.
The drive in Sank Centre will be
made Tuesday, June 4. In the mean
time the citizens will be given their
allotment. The cards containing tn
allotment will be mailed to them and
they are expected to call at the Com
mercial Club rooms on Tuesday and
subscribe for their quota.
The men working on this drive
are giving their time gratuitously and
the citizens are urged to cooperate
and make their work Is easy as pos
sible.
