LOCAL SERVICE MEN WILL.
ORGANIZE BRANCH OF AMERI-
CAN LEGION SATURDAY NIGHT

Active steps are being taken for the
organization of post of the Ame;i-
can Legion in Sank Centre Saturday
evening, Aug. 80, 1919, at the Junior
High School Auditorium at 900.
The American Legion is the out
growth of many suggestions for
suitable organization for all soldiers,
sailors and marines who served their
country in the late war. There ap-
pears to be an idea prevalent with
some that only men serving overseas
are eligible, but this is erroneous, as
any man sworn into service can and
should join.
The Grand Army of the Republic
for many years following the Civil
war, and even at the present time,
although their numbers have been
greatly depleted by Father Time,
welded powerful influence in this
country's affairs. The American
Legion, standing as it does for
staunch Americanism, will be power.
full factor for the next half century
The Herald is not familiar with the
details of the organization, but the
men in other sections of the country
are ffocking into the membership fold.
There were nearly $50 men receiving
mail at the Sank Centre postoffice in
the service in one capacity or another,
and the local post should be one of
the strongest in the Northwest. IF
there are any service men who do
not receive card notifying them of
Saturday evenings meeting they are
urged to be present and sign the
charter roll roster.

NEW FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION
ORGANIZED LAST WEEK WITH
HEADQUARTERS IN THIS CITY

Upon August 22nd the Sank Centre
National Farm Loan Association was
organized in this city by farmers,
who elected Frank E. Minette, Jos. G..
M. Botz, Chas. A. Morse, VIM. H.
Gibson and Tony Miller directors. The
officers are: Frank E. M1nette, pres,-
dent; VIM. II. ellison, vice president;
Gordon V. Morse, secretary-treasurer.
Approximately 100000 in loans We're
approved.
The completion of this organization
is III no little momen. to this district
tor this association MAKES it possible
i1r farmers to get Federal loans at
tie 'cw rate of interest offel ed by the
government. Wllie many farmers 10
not desire to avail themaelvos of these
loans, still there are many others
who wish to obtain them, and as the
system becomes better known many
more may wish to join. Loans are
usually made for period of 341a
years. Mr.. Morse has been working
upon this organization all summer.
Early in the spring he learned that
this entire district was Liable to be
absorbed by nearby associations, and
realizing the Importance of a local
association to the city, rather than to
have it handled entirely from outside
points, he set about to organize with
the result above mentioned.
The district covered by the Sank
Centre association includes the west
ern half of Stearns county and part
of Todd, Pope and Douglas counties.
The Importance of this organizs ZION to
the city is therefore readily seen, as
it makes Sank Centre the central
point of large farming district.

LOCAL POLICE PICK
UP AUTO BANDIT
STOLEN AT FARGO.
N. D., RECOVERED NEAR SAUK
CENTRE SUNDAY.
one DESPERATE ESCAPES
ROBBERS DISCOVERED IN PAST
URE ON HENRY KRUSE FARM
EAST OF TOWN.

Automobile thieves are either get
ting aristocratic or else they ans
more particular. .
A year or two ago they were salts
he'd with ordinary FLYERS but the
Henry's no longer satisfy the aesthe-
tic taste of the bandits. The latest
stolen car to be picked up in Sank
Centre is 1920 Oldsmobile.
Sunday evening about $50 Chief of
Police Joe Miller received telephone
message from Charles Kortan stating
that he had just received word from a
neighbor, Henry Kruse, residing east
of town, that two strange men had
built a bonfire in his pasture, off from
the main road, and that large auto
mobile was standing g few rods
away.
Policemen Miller and Rosenberger
FASTENED to the Kruse farm east of
town and when they arrived the men
were comfortably sleeping in the car,
which was an Oldsmobile of 1920 paw
tern and driven only 500 miles. In
the excitement following, one of the
men made his getaway, but the
police nabbed the othef>one. Joe says
he could have plugged the escaping
man but at that time he was not GER
tain that he was an auto thief.
The car did not have license num-
Der but carried card stating ''license
applied for" In one of the pockets
of the car was found the name of the
agent, a dealer at Fargo, N. D.
Securing the number of the engine
Mr.. Miller got in touch with the deal
er and found that the car had been
sold to a man at Fargo. Investiga-
ion proved that the car had been
stolen out of the garage about two
o'clock Sunday morning. Enroute the
bandits had stolen 5-gallon cream
can, gasoline, and a couple Of
blankets.
The man arrested was about 18
years old. He gave his name as
Howard johnson, and said that he
lived in Minneapolis. Had they reach
ed the Flour City with the car it's
chances of recovery would have been
very remote.
The young man was brought to
town and placed in Jail on suspicion.
He absolutely refused to give the
name of his companion. Sheriff Ross
and the owner of the car arrived in
Sank Centre Monday evening and
took the car and prisoner back to
Fargo.
The capturing of this bandit by the
Sank Centre police was clever piece
of work. The owner showed his APP
probation by presenting the local Of
ficials with a check for $50. This
money the chief has divided between
Messrs. Kortan and Kruse.

teenth annual Stearns County fair at
Sank Centre approaches-Sept. 9, 10,
II and 1.-THE fair officers are plac-
ing additional features on the
amusement program.
Last weeks Herald stated that the
Gibbons brothers would likely be
booked for sparring match on one
of the fair dates, but satisfactory
arrangements could not be made and
this feature has been abandoned.
At a meeting of the board held at
the Commercial club rooms last even
ing it developed that there was liable
to be dearth of horses for the race
events, and to make sure that the
amusement program would not fall
short Of the usual high standard Of
excellence set by the Stearns county
