Rural School Prize Winners

Special to the Herald: Sank Centre,
Aug. 21.-With one hundred forty dis
tricts competing the rural school ex-
hlbit at the Stearns county fair today
opened to the visitors the finest, best
and most complete display ever shown.
The splendid new building, erected a
year ago out of funds raised by the
schools of the county, is too small for
this years exhibit, although the side
and walls and middle display par
tition are hung from floor to roof WI
not more than an inch between papers.
1t any one has missed his chance in
former years to see the work done by
the children of our rural schools, he
should not fail this year to look the
work over carefully and well. It
compares favorably with the best done
IN villages and towns, and proves that
Stearns county's schools are in the
very best of condition, due to the un-
firing and united efforts of Superin-
tendent William A. Boerger, the
teachers, school officers and parents.
One of the first purposes of having
a display at the county fair was to
bring home to those interested in
school work the idea that the rural
and semi-graded schools form one
system and must work together under
one direction. This has been well

of this program. It is conducted under
the management of the National
Swine Growers Association, and the
Ham and Bacon show promises to be
a real feature of this swine industry
exposition.
Send to John T. Etinson, Secretary
of the National Swine Show and Ex-
position, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for par
ticulars and special ham and bacon
entry blanks.
The following communication has
been received by all County Food ADJ
ministrators and County Agents from
A. D. Wilson, Federal Food Admins
traitor for Minnesota: Answering
many inquiries that have come in on
this subject, the food administration
desires to state that any individual
having wheat, raised this year, may
market or keep the wheat as he de-
sires. No rules have been issued on
this matter and the holder of wheat is
permitted the same choice as regards
marketing as he has enjoyed in norm
al times. The same applies to all
other cereal crops" i,

achieved, and, together with the meet
ings of teachers, school officers and
parents held all over the county by
Supt. Boerger, will eventually bring
forth the very best of results. There
never was time when the schools of
Stearns county worked together in
such harmony, and it is the opinion of
all the fair visitors that this fine
condition should not be disturbed.
In all 228 prizes were awarded. In
the semi-graded list st. Augusta again
holds first place with $50 points. This
school has held this award for a num-
bel of years, losing it only once to
Luxembourg. The boys and girls Of
Holdingford and st. Joseph were tied
year ago, and their competition was
keen in this years exhibit. Holding
ford won second place with $50 points
and st. Joseph third with 800 points.
The Metre Grove and the Avon schools
won fourth and fifth places, respec-
lively. Among the one-room rural
schools the one at st. Nicholas again
holds first place, having won first hon
ors year ago. District No. 40 and
the Lyman Prairie school are tied for
second place, while Districts 1872 and
166 win fourth and fifth prizes re-
spectively.

awarded:

"A ham sandwich. please. two ice

are the requests that are fred up
at the clerks of the wagon by the
crowd scrambling at the side.
The White House Ellipse looks
like a picnic ground since the serv-
ice a la carte wagon has been serv-
ing lunches to clerks in that neigh
borhood with groups OF girl war
workers spread out under the trees

The wagon in one hour disposes
of 500 sandwiches. $50 slices OF cake,

the District Commissioners today ap-
pealed to residents to practice urgent
economy in the use OF water.
Faucet leaks and excessive use of
water in lawn sprinkling and side
walk washing were items emphasized
as involving unreasonable waste at a
time when the city is on the verge
OF a water famine.
The Commissioners declared that
the daily average consumption for
June is 66.156,l20. more than a mil

ELECTRIC GLOVES
MAKE DRIVING IN
WINTER PLEASURE

Old King Winter will not show up
but when he does, some Of his for
mer humble servants, the frozen
fingered motorists, will have the
laugh on him
The discomfort OF the winter mo-
toriBt as q result of acting hands
viii be changed next winter. The
Carnon Electrically Warmed Auto
mobile Gloves made by Carron &
Co. Inc, IS Beekman street New
York city, are today hailed as an
invention which will be welcomed by
thousands Of motorists. This COM
pAny has perfected these gloves I'M
u they become easy to wear. and
are not in any way a hindrance to
good driving.
''The essential features Of the
gloves are the use Of an electric
heating element distributed through
out the fingers and back Of both
hsndB which when connected to the
battery system OF the car gives uni
form heating all over the hand and
the use Of q contact arrangement on
the steering wheel, so that there are
no cords attached to the gloves TO
interfere with the free use Of the
banda"
FLEXIBLE wire which will carry cur
rent is Sewed in the gloves, and
terminates at two small brass disks
attached on the outside of the gloves.
This wire does not come in contact
with the hands. Contact plates are
placed on the steering wheel in such
. way that the disks on the gloves
Will come in contact with them. and
not hinder the working movement Of
the hands or the fingers.
Current flows from the electrical
Eystsm of the car, and heat is pro-
duced in the gloves. The amount OF
heat required depends on actual con-
ditionA.

WAR INDUSTRIES
BOARD MAY BAN
3OX3AUTO TIRE

A ban upon the "3oz8," one Of the
distinctly Ford-size tires, OF which
there are millions in use in the United
States. is proposed by the War In
dustries Board as q measure OF war
economy.
While final action has not yet been
taken. there seems little doubt that a
definite program for restriction in the
number Of automobile tire styles and
sizes to be manufactured will be
made effective. Millions OF automo-
bile owners will be affected.
Nine standard sizes are to be pro-
v1ded- They do not include many
sizes now in use on standard max es
of cars, and changes will have to be
made In wheels and rims of thou
sands Of cars to meet the situation.
To work as little hardship as pos
sibIe the change is TO be made grad
ually, running until November 1,
1920.
Coineident with this announcement
. definite official statement was
made that there is no gasolene short
age, and curtailment of motorboat
or pleasure car uses will not be nee
essary IL drivers practice reasonable
economy.
All odd size and diversified tires
are eliminated. II is believed the
cutting of tire sizes from 35. recog-
nized as standard now, to 9 will re-
suit In the saving of essential ma
tsrials and equipment and reduction
in the amount OF capital tied up in
manufacturers and dealers stocks
It will permit dealers to cut stocks
approximately so per cent.
Automobile and tire manufacturers
were informed today that the pro-
gram has been approved by the
National Automobile Chamber OF
Commerce and the Tire and Rim As
ISOLATION, with the statement that il
would be made effective unless valid
objection was offered.
The nine standard sizes determined on
are 30x3h. 32K3La, 3lx4. 33x4. 34x4h,
3Sx6, 36x6, 3SxI and 40xS. All can be
made in plain and non-skid tread, but
the six larger sizes must be straight
sides, as is the 32X3h Only the
SO13H and Ska Ford size and over
size can be made in the clincher type.
Quick detachable tires which are be-
coming obsolete are eliminated.
II Is provided that the least used
sizes and types shall be eliminated
by November / this year. those in
medium demand by November l.
1919. and those in large present de-
Tnand, by November /, 1920.
Though IL is hoped TO save materi-
ais, q large front tire must be used
on all Ford cars after November l,
1920, when the 3OX3 is eliminated.
Though there is no shortage in

Administration is studying conserva-
tien measures to meet a shortage in
