Sank CentreK. C's. Will
Start Local Driue for
Needed War Funds

The Y. M. C. A. and the knights
of Columbus are the two big organi-
cations that are doing their utmost
sanctioned by the federal govern
ment, to make American boys serving
Under the colors comfortable, whether
in cantonment or at the battle front.
The Herald is reliably informed that
about 55 per cent of American sold
iers are non-Catholic and the renain-
ing IS per cent being members Of the
faith. Neither of these splendid or
carnations make any distinction in
making the soldier or sailor comfort
attic and happyl
The Knights of Columbus set out
several weeks ago to raise a war fund
of $300,O00,0O0 to carry on their part
Of the work. The members of the
order have subscribed over $500 ,O0O,-
900 of this amount.
The local members of the order will
start a drive for funds in Sank Cen
tire and vicinity Friday of this week.
The Herald anticipates that both Ca
tholic and Protestant will no doubt be
given a chance to contribute, and as
Sank Centre citizens are loyal in their
support of standing back of the bows
at the front the Herald predicts that
the K. C. drive in this city will be a
success. 1t is a worthy, cause.

Supreme Court Rules
Against Governor In
the School Fund Case

Gov. Burnquist lost his bout with
the Minnesota supreme court when
the highest tribunal of the state hand
ed down decision Friday Of last
week granting the injunction prevent
ing the diverting of the current school
funds to pay the deficiency Of $780,
DGC which the governor vetoed at the
close of the last legislature.
To one who had followed this case
the decision of the supreme court was
expected, because it was the reason
able and logical course for them 10
pursue. While the deficiency bill was
pending Gov. Burnquist's aid was
asked to help secure the passage OF
the measure. At that time he indicat-
ed quite clearly that he was opposed
to state aid for schools, insisting
that every school in the state should
be self supporting.
Immediately following Burnquists's
veto the storm of protest from every
corner Of the state proved that he HAD

newly appointed state school board
were hastily summoned and they made
an attempt to pull his chestnut out
of the fire by voting to divert the
$1,070,000 from the current schools to
pay the deficiency. This was done in
spite of the strenuous opposition OF
State Superintendent Schultz and FL
Terrence of Minneapolis. The petition
for an injunction followed. The
Ramsey county district court granted
the injunction and the case was ap-
pealed to the supreme court with the
result above noted.
The governors blunder cost Sank
Centre district several thousand dol
lars. Every district in the state was
effected land no doubt the taxpayers
will remember this when Burnquist
asks for denomination.

Document Drafted by Fifteen Representa-.
tue Citizens Should Be Endorsed
Unanimously Wednesday.

Sank Centre citizens will be called
upon Wednesday, Feb. 5, 1918, to pass
upon the proposed City Charter draft
ed by commission of Is freeholders.
The commission is made up of repre-
sentative citizens of Sank Centre and
they worked diligently with the single
purpose of providing sane and pro-
gressive charter for this city-one in
fact in keeping with other cities OF
like Importance. Plans which have
worked out successfully in other cities
have been Incorporated.
The proposed charter was publish
ed in the Herald the week of Jan. 3,
and the citizens have had ample OPP
portunity to study it's provisions. The
present plan Of government is not
changed in any material way. The new
charter elects the board of aldermen
at large and the mayor will be elected
for two year term if the new
charter is adopted. The present Of
fcers hold until the annual election in
April.
The temperance phase is not touch
ed in the new charter as this matter
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-01-31

is regulated by state law.
{ At the present time the city is work
ing under charter enacted by spe-
cial act of the legislature way back in
1888. 1t has long since become obolete
and the Common Council find their
hands tied at nearly every turn OF
the road.
One of the advantages of the new
charter gives the citizens chance to
initiate legislation, if in their judg-
ment such action is Z necessary
should the council fail to act.
Franchise regulations are strict, and
no new franchise can be granted
without vote Of the people. In
every other department the rights of
the citizens and taxpayers are safe
guarded.
The Herald has not heard of any
opposition to the proposed charter, but
nevertheless every citizen who de-
ieves that the commission have work
ed out feasible and safe plan o!
government should do his duty and
vote next Wednesday. The polls will
be open at the usual polling places
from 9 a. M, to p. m.

Home Guard Will Glue
First Military Ball on
Monday Eue., Feb. II

Co. E, 10th Battalion of the Mime
sofa Home Guards, of Sank Centre,
have plans for their first annual
military ball which will be given at
the Junior High School Auditorium;
Monday evening, Feb. II, well in hand.
The affair should be a delightful
social function and incidentally the
company hopes to realize snug sum
with which to pay for the deficiency
remaining on the uniforms and also to
purchase shirts, hats and puttees for
the entire company. 1t will take fully
$500 to do this. AS the individual
members of the company have each
contributed $3.50 to pay for their
uniforms it is hoped that all citizens
will respond literally to the ticket
sale which will start tomorrow, Fri
day. Five hundred tickets have been
printed and they will sell for $1.00
each, and every one should be sold.
A luncheon will also be served in the
rooms off the auditorium for which SO
cents a plate will be charged. All the
eatables will be furnished by families
of the company and the music and
auditorium have been donated so that
practically every dollar received will
go into the company fund.
Every citizen of Sank Centre will
be proud of the local company in six
months time and you are urged to
show your satisfaction in advance by
purchasing at least one ticket for the
first annual military ball.

War Stamp Saving Plan
Appeals to All Citi-
zens of Sank Centre

The Federal governments latest
plan to encourage thrift with the
small investor is being very cordially
received by the people OF. Sank Cen
tire, young and old.
The kiddies about town are bother
ing the life out of their elders for
pennies and nickels and instead of
spending money for sweets they are
investing in thrift stamps, while their
elders are buying the war saving
stamps.
One family of four, realizing the
splendid quality of the investment
have already purchased eight hundred
dollars worth of, the war saving
stamps. They will make a tidy sum
when the stamps are redeemed with
four per cent compound interest in
1923.
Chairman George Fish in charge of
the selling stations in Sank Centre re-
ported to the Herald Wednesday morn
ing that he had just checked up and
found that $4,000 worth of stamps had
been sold for cash since the sale
opened, and that 5000 worth more had
been sold and would be paid for as
soon as delivery could be made.
The children of the Sank Centre
public schools are doing themselves
proud in standing back of their gov
eminent as they have purchased 5000
worth of the stamps. It's worth
something to be an American citizen
these days.

ANNUAL MEETING OF SAUK
LAKE CREAMERY ASSOCIATION

The annual meeting of the Sank
Lake Cooperative Creamery Associa-
ton was held at the Sank Centre Com
llercial Club rooms Monday, Jan. %.
President J. F. Coyle was i'll and Chas.
kortan presided in his stead.
Hon. Frank E. Minette was intro
duced and made a very sensible talk
to the stockholders in which they were
urged to stand back of their own insti-
tuition. He deplored the fact that
many of the farmers of this vicinity
were disposing of their product to
Contralizing plants. When the farmer
ships to his own institution he gets
everything there is in the cream ex-
cept actual expense. Mr.. Minette
showed that it cost snug sum each
year to maintain the two centraiizing
plants in Sank Centre, while the ex-
pense of the creamery would not De
materially increased if their output
was doubled. It is fatal to their hest
interests for the farmers not to stand
back of their own creamery.
Earl Springer, agricultural superin7
tendent of the Sank Centre school fol-
lowed and his talk dovetailed in very
nicely with the statements made by
Mr.. Minette. Mr.. Springer gave some
figures from government. statistics
which showed, that Notwithstanding
claims, the Centralizing plants did not
pay the farmer as much for cream and
butterfat as did the cooperative
creamery. The figures presented by
Mr.. Springer will be of interest,
covering as they do the prices paid
for butterfat and the price received
for butterfat during the year 1916.
They follow:
March 1916 Paid Rec.
Best Cooperative creameries AZ .37
Poor co-operatives creameries SO 80
Individual creameries 1850. .32
CentrallZerS -. ........... .321a
June 1916
Best Co-opera. cry's. -. .33 20 $40
Poor co-opera. cry's. ....... 20
Individual creameries 1880. 20
Centralizers ...... .27 CLIO
It will be noted that the difference
between the cooperative creameries
and the Centralizers, in the state as
a whole is from to 10 cents per
pound in favor of the cooperative
creameries. With the splendid modern
equipment of the Sank Lake creamery
and the very efficient buttermaker
in the person of Mr.. Jacobs, the Her
aid is at a loss to understand why
every farmer in this section fails to
stand loyalty back Of the Sank Lake
concern.
The old creamery property, includ-
ing building was sold to A. J. Hend-
rickson of Kandota, the board having
first put a minimum price of $3.50 on
the property. Mr.. Hendrickson's bid
was $305.
There was the usual good natured
contest over the various Offices, which
resulted as follows:
President-C Kortan.
Vice President-F. J.. Minette.
Secretary George Strauss.
Treasurer-Jos. Beste.
Directors-A. F. Bosshart, Jos.

proved to their satisfaction that there
are 10 families in this community Of
the name of Anderson and that in all
probability, Is of those families have
a Ruth. However, the Herald is glad
that two of them have already donated
so literally to the Red Cross and here
by expresses wish that the rest get

MR.. EDDY IMPROVES.

Late reports from Hon. F. M. Eddy
who is i'll in a hospital at DesMoines,
Iowa, states that he is recovering
from his very severe attack of double
pneumonia. Both lungs have cleared
up in fine shape and his complete re-

will be good news to his host of
friends all over Minnesota.

LYMAN PRAIRIE
FOLKS INTERESTED
MRS. MOYNIHAN ORGANIZES
LIVE WIRE RED CROSS AUX.
ILIARY FRIDAY.
TIP FOR OTHER COMMUNITIES
SAUK CENTRE BRANCH MAKES
HEAVY SHIPMENT OF GAR
MENTS AND DRESSINGS.

Mrs. A. F. Moynihan, secretary of
the Sank Centre branch of the Red
Cross was invited Friday to help or
ganize a Red Cross auxiliary in south
west Sank Centre. She responded to
the invitation gladly and at the ap-
pointed time met about 20 of the rep
resentative families Of that COM
unity who had gathered at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. M. D. Cowlthorp.
Seventeen new memberships were
taken out, a petition was drawn up
and sent in to headquarters and the
auxiliary which shall be known as the
Lyman Prairie Auxiliary of the Sank
6entre branch of the Red Cross, Or
ganized. Mrs. Ernest Beidleman was
elected chairman; Mrs. Win Cowl-
thorp, secretary and treasurer; Mrs.
Frank Domke, head of the knitting de-
partment and Mrs. Carl Kraft, head of
the sewing department. The sum of
$26.25 was turned into the local Red
eross fund. The classes are to meet
every two weeks to sew and their
work will be shipped through the Sank
Centre branch. Some of the ladies
are planning to come into town on
Saturday to receive instructions in
their work.
This brief history has been re-
hearsed to show how thoroughly in
earnest the Lyman Prairie Auxiliary
is. Mrs. Moynihan was most enthus-
iastic in her account of the patriotic
spirit shown. The good people of
that community intend to do things
from the start as the list of member
ship below indicate. There is no
reason why all the country communi-
ties should not organize and it is the
hope of those who are already in the
ranks that others will hasten to fall
in line. People are working hard
throughout the whole town and coun-
