VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPART
MENT GIVE ANNUAL BALL AT
THE CITY HALL MARCH THIRD

The Volunteer Firemen of Sank
Centre will give their annual dancing
party at the City Hall Monday even
ing of next week. These parties are
always largely attended and very en-
joyable. For 33 years the depart
.ment gave their dances on Thanksgiv-
ing night but the prevalence of the
"Flu" last fall made postponement
necessary. RAIDERS full six-piece or
chestra will furnish splendid music
and supper will be served at the Palm
er House.
The firse department is one of the or
CARNATIONS of which the city is justly
proud. They are loyal and efficient,
and in the past have saved the citizens
thousands of dollars by their efficient
and prompt service. You will very
likely be asked to purchase ticket.
You even may not believe in dancing,
but even so, show your appreciation Of
the organization by purchasing one
anyhow. The organizations funds are
in depleted condition because they
have used their money buying new
and modern fire fighting apparatus.
. This will be the last local dance be-
fore Lent. Boost the Department;
they are worthy of your support.

HOME FROM FRANCE.

Davis Elliott, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
W.. C. Elliott, returned Wednesday
noon from Camp Dodge, Iowa, where
he received an honorable discharge
from military service. The young man
is the picture of health. He entered
the service in June, 1918, and was as
signed to the Signal Corps. He was
given Radio instruction at Camp Vial,
N. j., sailing from New York Oct.
rs. He landed in Belgium Nov. 10.
Although he was As miles away from
the front he states that one could
hear the big guns distinctly. Davis
was a member of the 10th Regt., of
the 41st Division. He started his
homeward trip at Brest, France, Feb.
l and arrived at New York Feb. IA,
coming over on the transport Seattle.
The voyage was a very rough one.

ACTIVE WORK ON
1919 FAIR STARTED
AUGUST rs, 26, ~ AND 20 HAVE
BEEN CHOSEN FOR STEARNS
COUNTY SHOW.
BREAK WITH BENTON COUNTY
BOTH ORGANIZATIONS WANTED
SAME DATES AND NEITHER
WOULD STEP ASIDE.

At meeting of the board of
directors of the Agricultural Society
of Stearns County held few days ago
the fair dates for the 1919 Stearns
fair were definitely decided upon.
The experience Of the. past two
years has proven the ACCESSIBILITY of
holding the fair in August, and the
plan will be followed this year, the
dates selected being August 25, &C.,
27 and %. Last year the show was
held one week earlier. This year Sank
Rapids and Sank Centre were both
anxious for the last week in August;
neither was willing to give way, with
the result that the Stearns and st.
Cloud-Sauk Rapids fair will conflict.
Todd county will come the week be-
fore, so that a conflict with one of the
neighboring counties was inevitable.
The Herald believes that the directors
were wise in standing for the last
week in August.
The Herald would like very much
to see the territory in the vicinity of
Belgrade, Brooten and Paynesville
cultivated to the end that the farmers
of that section take a more active
interest in the fair. 1t has been ap-
parent to casual observer for a
number of years that st. Clouds in
terest were entirely with the Benton
county fair. The big territory to the
south is showing an increasing inter
est in the local fair each year.
1t is quite probable that the racing
program will not have quite as many
entries as~in some of the proceeding
years. The horsemen have been well
treated here in the past and it is ex-
pected that there will be sufficient
entries to make the various classes
interesting.
Secretary Gordon V. Morse is busy
lining up his premium list for the
1919 fair and is keeping his weather
eye open for high grade free
attractions.

DAYLIGHT SAVING IS LAW.

Reference was made in these col
umns quite recently to the opposition
which is prevalent in agricultural dis
tricts to the plan of daylight saving
embodied in the federal statute. It
has developed since that misunder-
standing of the situation is quite gen.
eral. The impression prevails that
the setting forward of the clock was
a war measure directed toward slim
-ulating production and that it was for
last summer only. The fact is that
congress enacted the system into law
and it will continue in force
unless repealed. At 2 a. m. on the last
Sunday in March of each year, the
clock must be set forward one hour
and on the last Sunday in October, at
the same hour, there is return to
standard time. The law will take eff
feet again on the 30th of next month,
except in the improbable event Of its
repeal in the meantime.-St Paul
Dispatch.

job. The largest number of our
boys will go back to the home farm.
Others will return to the mill or the
shop or the store, where positions
have been kept open for them by
patriotic employers. But many men
will need help or advice. Some will
want to change to other lines of work.
The United States Employment Ser
vice was organized for this purpose.
Regular employment agencies have
been opened in the larger cities.
Branches will be organized in every
county. The county employment
agent not only keeps lists of local
positions which are open, but will be
able to tell returning soldiers of work
in their line in other parts of the
state. Apply for information to the
county agricultural agent, or to the
Red Cross Home Service, which is
cooperating all along the govern
ment's program for the returning
soldier.

TODD COUNTY SOLDIER RE-
PORTED SUNK ON TUSCANIA
LAST YEAR, WRITES PARENTS

Joseph Gerlach, thought to have
been drowned on the Tuscania and
mourned as dead for nearly year, is
alive and well and expects soon to
be able to start home for America,
says the Long Prairie Leader.
The astonishing and happy news
that he is alive and well was received
by the father, Frank Gelrach, Friday
The news came in a letter from
Joseph written from Belgium January
9th. The letter is brief and contain
ed no information except that Joseph
is alive and we'll and expects soon to
be sent home. Where he has been
and what he has been doing all these
months that he has been mourned as
dead nobody knows. The supposition,
however, is that he has been pris-
oner in Germany.
Joseph was an enlisted soldier and
sailed for France on the ill-fated Tus-
CANA which was sunk off the Irish
coast last spring, the report being
circulated that he was among the
victims of that disaster. Nothing was
heard from him and his parents
could get no trace of his whereabouts.
He was given up for dead. Another
strange circumstance in connection
with his story is that his brother,
Frank, who was employed in the ship
building yards at Seattle, attended a
war film picture show at a theatre
there in December and recognized, OF
thought he recognized, his brother
Joseph, among some soldiers in the
fighting zone that were shown. He
was so sure he recognized Joseph that
he wrote home to his father telling
him of the circumstance. However,
Franks information did not arouse
many hopes as the actual evidence
all seemed to indicate Joseph's death
But it was only couple OF weeks
later that the letter arrived from
Joseph himself. It was indeed a hap
py message and the Gerlach family
are now looking forward with great
anticipation to the return home OF the
young soldier.
