CAR OWNERS NOW DEMAND
THAT TIRES LOOK WELL
AND POSSESS DURABILITY

There was a time when a motorist
in laying in a supply of tires gave
thought only to the subject of their
durability. In those days tire-build-
ing had not reached its present state
of perfection and most of the high
ways were so bad that the driver was
constantly filled with anxiety as to
whether he could finish his journey
without tire trouble.
But tire construction has improved
to such degree and good roads have
become so common everywhere in the
country, that an automobilist whose
car is equipped with good tires seldom
worries today about blowouts or
punctures With the question of de-
pendability satisfactorily adjusted,
the owner of handsome car now is
becoming particular about the looks
of his tires He wants tire that in
gracefulness of line harmoni2es with
the beauty of his car and has in its
appearance that clear-cut look of
quality which stamps it as tire of
the highest grade.
To the fact that it meets these re-
quirements of beauty and depend
ability, the United States Tire Com
pany attributes the tremendous
POPULARITY OF its Royal Cord tires.

MINNESOTA HOUSE GAVE AWAY
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN
LAST HOURS OF SESSION

The late legislature was good to the
State Board of Control in the matter
of appropriations and as result the
next two years will see the greatest
building program in respect to state
institutions needs in this history of
Minnesota. Practically every demand
in money way was met and this
even extended to the state university
and normal schools generally. The
appropriations this year exceeded
$30,000,000 and yet despite the
enormous increase, the tax rate will
only be a fraction of mill in excess
of last year: The House was the most
magnamanious in respect to money
gifts. 1t gave 20 per cent bonus to
all employees receiving salaries under
$1,000 a day. Oscar Arneson, chief
clerk received a gift Of $1,000 and the
Clerk of the appropriations committee
was honored with a gratuity of $500.

HAS SERVED COMMUNITY OVER
HALF A CENTURY.

With this issue the Herald COM
mences the fifty-second year of SER
vice in this community.
AS time goes in the life of an indi-
vidual fifty-two years is a long time
for any business to serve any COM
munity continuously. But compara-
lively small number of editors have
been at the helm in the little over
half century that the paper has been
published, and there are several
valued subscribers on the list today
who have not missed single issue
since the Herald first made its ap-
pearance the first week in June, 1868.
In the very first issue the Herald
became a factor in the development
and progress of Sauk Centre and this
section. It has rendered this service
in it's humble capacity every week
since. The various editors were
human, and of course mistakes have
been made, these mistakes have been
errors of judgment, rather than OF
the heart.
The senior member of the present
firm of publishers took over the
Herald six years ago and has continu-
ously endeavored to maintain the high
standard established by the former
publishers. On the whole Sauk Cen
tire folks have stood Loyalty back OF
our efforts. In this time several
thousand dollars has been invested IN
additional and modern equipment now
necessary in newspaper making, and
the volume of business has been
doubled. In the six years every item
going into a newspaper-paper, labor,
etc, has climbed skyward, and is still
increasing in price. The publishers
increase to the consumer has been
modest in comparison. The publishers
are fully convinced that Sauk Centre,
with its splendid schools, beautiful
homes, healthy environment, congen-
ial people, and substantial business
men, situated as it is in the garden
SPOT of the best state in the union, is
without peer as place to live. Our
single purpose has been to stand back
of every legitimate thing that would
build up the community; to treat the
public squarely and incidentally to
expect a fair margin Of profit on our
labor and investment.
The business men and people OF the
community have met us in the same
spirit, and if we are permitted to pub
lish the Herald for another half
century we will be completely happy.

A SOLDIERS LETTER

The following is a synopsis Of a
Mothers Day" letter written by Pvt.
A. A. Lembke to his mother, Mrs. H..
C. Lembke of Sauk Centre. The
young man is member of the
Ordinance Hdq., department at Le-
Mans, France, and does not expect to
be home before July. After express
ing his undying love for his mother
he says, among other things: "This
forenoon the Spur Camp dedicated an
altar to the mothers back home. It
was a beautiful altar covered with
the many flowers that are in blos-
som. The chaplain gave a short talk
and prayer, reminding every one Of
us to write home without fail.
II just returned from my furlough;
was at Paris, Chateau Thierry,
Reims, Hindenburg Line, and no
mans land
"Paris is the most beautiful city in
the world. It would take too long to
write you everything that I saw there
so will tell you all when I return
home. The city Of Reims, which was
bombarded over three years by the
Germans from three sides, is nothing
but mass Of crushed stone; not a
building standing that was not hit
by shell. The Reims cathedral, the
largest in France, is nothing but a
huge shell, apparently ready to cave
in most any time. This church surely
does show the low-down, dirty work
Of the Hun.
"Saw the Hindenburg line which is
a large trench about 20 feet deep and
20 wide, built up entirely of concrete
and rock. In mo mans land I saw
the bodies of five Germans that were
in shell holes where they had fallen.
Am bringing home two pieces OF
shrapnel from the battlefield as
souvenirs. Am sending home by mail
another bunch of pictures and cards,
{ >"What a happy reunion it will be
when we all get together again; am
hungry for your meals, the best yet,
and I know I shall forget and wash
my own dishes after meals. With
love and best wishes,
Yours loving son,
Pvt. A. A. Lembke. !

Silver-the White Hope

In every western mining state
silver is the chief hope for a re-
vival in precious metal mining af-
ter four years of very scant de-
velopment, with little or nothing
accomplished because of the scar
city of labor and the marked in
efficiency of the labor available.
Silver had fallen in the London
market in 1914 as low as % pence
per ounce, and last month was
quoted 6612 pence, of $1.44 per
ounce in gold.
The fact that a big Colorado
company .has organized $5,000,000
capital to open a silver mine in
Mexico ought to interest Ameri-
can mining law makers.
New York financial journals ad-
vocate investments in the western
silver industry as an opportunity
to profit by a worldwide demand
for commodity of which we are
the greatest producers. Every
dollar of silver produced is a dol
lar of new wealth created. Every
dollar of silver exported to meet
the demands of other countries is
a dollar of new wealth, added to
our country.
The bright outlook for silver
makes it again fashionable-and
'permissible-to speak hopefully
of mining, the ladder by which
western states climbed from the
great American desert" to prom
Using fields for profitable invest
ment.
The number of mining enter
prises at present under way in
western states-backed exclusive
ly by outside capital-means
much for the years to come, when
our spasms of economic expert
ment shall have run their course
and affairs get back to normal
Manufacturer.

of dollars and the mines have not

opment and should have big

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
OF PUBLIC UTILITIES

Many years ago when the ques-
tion was first agitated of govern
mental control of trusts and large
corporations, the idea was very
generally opposed by the money
power who characterized it as an
unwarranted interference in their
private business and as a matter
in which the public had no con-
Germ and the most of us at that
time agreed with them but public
sentiment has undergone mark
ed change since that time, until
now the national government has
commissions whose duty it is to
investigate, regulate and control
certain classes of corporations
and most of the states, if not all
of them, have public utility COM
missions that are vested with
powers to regulate or control all
corporations engaged in the busi-
ness of public utility nature.
The purpose of putting these
great combinations of capital un-
der government control was to
check their rapid growth and pre-
vent them from acquiring too
great a proportion of the wealth
of the country but so far the ex-
pertinent has proved a failure and
while each year that passes sees
the laws that govern these great
corporations made a little strong
er, each year that passes also
sees their per cent of the wealth
of the nation increased to a larger
ratio until it does not require a
person of any prophetic vision to
predict that the time is near at
hand when they will have absorb
ed practically all of the wealth of
the country. If then government
control is failure and judging
the future by the past, we must
decide that it is, does it not then
become the duty of every loyal
citizen to seek some remedy which
will avert the calamity which
threatens his country?
1t is only by private ownership
and monopoly of public utilities
that the wealth of the country
can be absorbed and pass into the
hands of the few. With govern
ment ownership this would be i'm
possible. Is there any other rem
edy?

Death of Frank c. Young

Frank C. Young, the first cash
ier of the First National bank of
Central City upon its organiza-
tion in January, 1874, died at his
home in Denver Tuesday morning.
Two weeks ago he was i'll and had
symptoms of the flu. He was
about II years of age and leaves
wife and two daughters.
After leaving Central Mr..
Young became connected with the
Colorado National bank of Den
yer but retained his interest in the
First National bank of this city.
During his residence in Central
City Mr.. Young figured actively
in the business life of the town
and was a moving spirit in the
social realm. He served the city
as treasurer, and it was thru his
efforts that the opera house was
built. He was a man of extraor-
dinary operate talent and a lit
erary genius. He wrote two books,
one a history covering the early
social development of Gilpin
county, the other an account of
his first trip to Colorado in the
early sixties, when he left st. Joe,
Mo-, for Central City. Mr.. Young
though somewhat reserved, was a
pleasing conversationalist and is
one of the few remaining old
timers of this historic camp whose
passing is widely mourned.
