First Called sieuthhounds.

Bloodhounds were first known as
sleuthhounds, owing TO their ability to
track the deer. wild boar or the wolf.
When the wounded game broke away
and was lost. these good aosed dogs
were used in trailing the quarry by
the blood trail. and hence they were
finally called hloodhounds.

ERRONEOUS REPORT

Sank Centre went wild Monday
from about II a. M, until the arrival
of No. that evening, over the report
which was given out as coming over
Associated Press wires, that 10000
Germans had been captured and 200,-
600, including the Crown Prince, had
heeurkiiled and wounded. The report
spread like wildfre all over Minnesota
and North Dakota. When No. z ar
rived the paper carrier was literally
buried in the rush for paper. No
words can describe the feeling that
came over one when the paper disclosed
that nothing of the sort had occurred.
Also, no words can tell of the manner
in which the man who started the re-
port would suffer could that mob have
laid their hands on him then.

SEVERAL MEETINGS PLANNED
IN ORDER TO RAISE THE
CITY'S QUOTA.
$60,OOO.OO TOTAL Is NEEDED

GENER0USLY--EIGHT PLEDGE
$1,000 LIMIT.

Sank Centre raised the sum of
$14,718.00 last Monday evening at the
first meeting to pledge the allotted
100000 for War Savings Stamps dur
ing the year 1918. Another meeting
is planned for next Wednesday night
which should bring the same amount.
By the time the campaign is over
Melrse who now boasts $35, 700 after
three meetings will be far to the
rear.
The meeting was held in the Senior
high school assembly room where all
succeeding meetings will also be.
Although as many as were expected
did not come, there was a sufficient
number to do good business. The
meeting was opened by President
George Fish of the War Savings
Society, who Immediately turned it
over to Mr.. Strebel After short ex-
PLANTATION of the purpse of the meet
ing, Mr.. Strebel asked for volunteers
to pledge themselves for stamps.
Eight responded to the ''take the
limit" club of $1,000; seven Joined
the $500 club; one the $3.50; one the
$500; eleven the 800 and on down.
The amount of $13,500 was pledged in
this way. Then cards were passed
around to which number attached
their names who had not volunteered.
The meeting was short, interesting
and the manner in which the men and
women, including the young ladies' and
the young men, responded was an in
spiration.
The next meeting is set for Monday
night, April l at eight o'clock, new
. tSSae. It will be short and "peppy.'
Please come and bring a friend.

CHANGE IN OFFICIALS.

After April first, Mrs. E. J. Lewis.
who has recently returned from a
much needed vacation, will resume her
duties as head of the knitting DEPART
ment Of the Sank Centre branch of the
Red Cross. During her absence Mrs.
George Rein has acted most efficiently
IN that capacity. The work has been
carried on smoothly and with the best
possible results. 1t is certain that the
Red Cross owes much to Mrs. Rien.
The last shipment to be made
through Mrs. Rien to the Northern Di-
vision consisted of ~ pairs of socks.
IL pairs of wristlets and 12 sweat
ers. The following donations have
been sent in: by Mrs. Olive Coin.

DEWEY ZETTEL BETTER.

Afr much anxious waiting a letter
arrived Wednesday morning from DR..
H. A. Zettel, father of Dewey Zettel,
who was reported to be dangerously
ill with spinal meningitis. A letter is
also enclosed written on March Is
by Dewey himself. It is evident that
he has been a very sick man and it
is question whether he will be
crippled or not. Dewey is very
optimistic about the outcome, saying
"There is one consolation. and that is
if I am deformed get discharge and
if not, all spinal patients are entitled
to 80 days, so I am pretty sure of
being home either in May or June"
1t is not too much to say that it is
the deepest wish of all those who
know him that he may fully, recover
without any of the trouble which
sometimes results with this disease.

Earl Brown received his honorable
discharge from the national army on
account of illnss and arrived home
from Camp Pike this week. His con-
dition is serious and the long trip
weakened him considerably. His de-
sire to get home was all that made the
trip possible. An account of Mr..
Browns health will be reported from
time to time. Every care is accorded
himeand his complete recovery is
earnestly hoped for. Mr.. Browns
father called at this office Tuesday
with message from all the Sank
Centre boys at Camp Pike who wished
to be remembered to their friends.
They are all well and happy and will
be happier still when they get their
chance across the Atlantic.

Sd LIBERTY LOAN
DRIVE sTARTSAP 6
QUOTA FOR CITY AND SUR
ROUNDING TOWNSHIPS NOT
YET DETERMINED.
LOAN is FOR $3,OOG;000,oO
AMOUNT TO BE RAISED BY
MEANS OF VALUATION
CARDS.

The first shot in the spring drive for
the Third Liberty Loan of $4,000, OOO,-
600 for Uncle Sam, was fired Tuesday
afternoon when meeting of town
ship and city Liberty Loan chairmen
and solicitors was called to order at
the Commercial Club rooms. Chas.
F. Ladner of st. Cloud, county chair
man OF the Public Safety Commission,
and County Chairman of the Third
Liberty Loan addressed the meeting.
Ben Klaus, the last man out of
Germany, was expected also, but is at
present under the doctors care.
Mr.. Ladner put the proposition of
raising the allotted amount before the
gentlemen in his customary brief and
to-the-point manner. He reviewed the
unpleasant fact that Stearns county
had fallen behind on the last loan and
then took the sting away by saying
that part of reason for this was that
there had not been time enough for
efficient organization. This time,
however, the district is thoroughly
organized and a plan has been
launched that will bring in the dol
lars.
The interest on the new bonds will
be An per cent. In connection with
the loan, Secretary McAdoo plans to
establish a sinking fund to purchase
back bonds of the third loan thrown
upon the market to aid in keeping
them at par. Maturity of bonds is yet
to be determined, but they will prob
ably be of long term. Holders of
Liberty Bonds may convert them into
the new Az per cent bonds. This
privilege will not be granted on the
new bonds, however. Great surprise
was expressed over the small amount
asked for as loan of about $5,OOO,-
600, 1000 was expected.
The method of raising money will
be by means of valuation cards. The
people will be rated from these, which
they, themselves will fill out. From
the valuation cards the number of
Liberty Bonds each property holder is
expected to buy will be estimated.
Arrangements have been made where
by the Commercial Club rooms will be
thrown open days and evenings during
the drive which begins April 6, so
that those wishing to fill out valuation
cards and make subscriptions, may
do so. This will facilitate matters to
great extent. Those who do not
take advantage of this arrangement,
will make it necessary for the solicitor
to call. This measure may sound
arbitrary, but it is designed for the
Stacker, not the patriot.
For further information consult B.
F. Dubois, chairman of this district.
Be ready for the Third Liberty Loan
drive which starts April 6.

DYNAMITE CAUSES
Loss OF barn
HIDDEN EXPLOSIVES IN WORK
SHOP OF JOSEPH CAPSER DIS
COVERED BY FIRE.

Two fire calls and one chemical cart
call have comprised the runs made by
members of the fire department for
the past week. This is rather an UNI
usual record for Sank Centre.
On Friday afternoon of last week
the alarm was turned in for the barn
on the Joseph Capser place. A
quick run was made, but the fire was
beyond control in such a short time
that no effort could be made to save
anything. The department. confined
their labors to adjacent buildings and
to putting the fire out as quickly as
possible. The loss was a severe one
to Mr.. and Mrs. Capser, as the barn
and it's contests were worth about
$500 without insurance. Tools to the
valuation of 5000 are included in this
estimate. There was no live stock.
The cause of the entire loss of the
property is peculiar as it dates back
several years and reads like a novel.
some time ago, Mr.. Capser and his
son used dynamite to blast rocks on
his farm.( A portion of a stick was
left which was taken care of by the
son. Mr.. Capser stated to the Herald
that he had searched for the dynamite
several times with the intention Oh
disposing of it, but was unable to
find it. Thereby hangs the reason
why the barn was a total loss,
although it probably would have
caught fire in any case. The elderly
couple were burning grass near The
barn and thinking everything safe,
had gone to- another part of the yard.
A sudden gust of wind swept the
flames so close to the barn that the
loose straw or hay caught. Almost
Instantly followed the explosion which
brought to light the whereabouts of
the long lost dynamite. 1t was on a.
shelf in the workshop. The barn was
entirely enveloped in flames. For
getting everything save their desire
to rescue as much as possible, both
Mr.. and Mrs. Capser came near being
burned. They were rescued by sew
eral men who arrived almost i'm
mediately after the alarm.
Another run of about half a block
was occasioned Wednesday morning
by an oil stove which had exploded.
The stove was in use in a bed room
at the West Hotel. The lodgerI
smothered it with carpets and al
blanket. The only damage done was
to the stove, carpets, the blanket and
the window castings. Before the
trucks were fairly out, the fire was
all over.
The chemical cart was summoned
earlier in the week to the home of
Will Engic on the property known as
the Lyman Kells place. The owner
VS. burning off the grass and it got
beyond control.

CITY POLITICAL
POT Is BOILING
ELEVENTH HOUR PETITION
MAKES ISSUE OF THE LIZ
CENSE QUESTION.
SPIRITED Fight FOR MAYOR
KEEN COMPETITION FOR CITY
TREASURER-STRONG MEN
FOR ALDERMEN

Thirty days ago the indications
were that the interest in Sank Gem
tres City election would be negligible.
But ~any things can happen m 20
days.
AT the eleventh hour the .sdrys"
filed a petition to submit the question
to the voters again this year.
Up to Friday afternoon there was
no opposition to the reelection of A..
j. DuBeau for mayor. Friday, v. G..
Wedge gave deluctant consent to
enter the lists and petition was cir
culated for him. He is now a full
fedged candidate. The election will
be held Tuesday, April 2. The voting
places will be as usual.
The Herald understands that Alder
men George O'Gara, John Brown and
Charles Perkinson have absolutely
refused to allow the use of their
names for reelection. Petitions have
been filed with the City Clerk
nominating Thos. Sullivan, George r.
Borgmann and H. S. Halverson for
the places. All three are high grade
business men and it is fortunate that
men of their calibre have consented
to serve the city.
There will be pretty race between
B. F. Dubois and VIM. M. Parker for
the city treasurership. Both gentle
men are wide-awake and reliable
young business men, and their friends
are legion. One thing is certain, the
finances of the city are hound to be
well cared for. DR.. j. A. Dubois is
the retiring treasurer.
Judge M. G. Kelsey is the only
candidate for Judge of the Municipal
Court. Mr.. Kelsey has given the po-
sition very close attention during his
incum5ency.
This article was written Saturday,
and the time for filing closed Satur-
day evening. This will be the first
city election held under the new
charter. The aldermen are elected at
large now instead of by wards.
The wet and dry vote has been
little closer each year for the past
several years. Both sides have bought
space in this issue of the Herald and
are putting up their arguments as to
why their cause should win.
School Election.
The annual school election for the
Independent School district of the
Town of Sank Centre is usually
quiet affair. The terms of r. E.
Hansen and J. F. Cooper as members
of the board, expire this year. There
is no candidate against Mr.. Hansen,
but E. A. Richards has entered the
lists against Mr.. Cooper. Both are
well known citizens, thoroughly in
terested in the development of the
schools. The circulation of an un-
fortunate and malicious campaign
reorbach entered into the campaign
Friday and this has engendered some
bitterness. The Herald will not make
any attempt to pick winner in this
contest.
