VIEWS ON BEST WAY TO

 though we might not have had a larger city at once, we would have been a good-sized stepping stone to- ward it.
 While with the army in France, a commanding officer of my company said to me: 'Draine, a mining man once told my father, who is one of Guggenheim's right-hand men, that Flagstaff needed and could support a new, modern hotel. My health had been poor and I had been advised to go West and live. So my father told me to go out to Flagstaff and look it over and he would finance the deal for hotel. We'll, l saw the depot at Flagstaff, and that was enough for me. I got right back on the train, and located in Phoenix, instead.'" Z
 c. A. Clark advises new industries:
 "The most essential thing in build ing this town, along with providing places for the people to live in, is to secure new industries. I can see no reason why we should not have a large meat packing house here. Nor is there any reason, as far as know, why this would not be a good place for wool-scouring mill.
 "We have timber here. Why should not this be good location for a match factory? Oshkosh (Wis.) was built into city several times as big as this by it's match factories. Along with a match factory, wouldn't it be possible to manufacture toothpicks here, also?
 "How about factories for making sashes, blinds, doors, etc.?
 More residences, and big hotel, are, of course, necessities in our growth that we all appreciate"
 The following was written by Alex. A. Johnston, secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce:
 q know of nothing which could contribute more to the growth of Flagstaff, or any other city, than the willing cooperation of its citizens in the activities of the chamber of com merce.
 "This organization is. formed solely for the purpose of advancing the in- terests of it's community, being com posed of men who believe in the future of their town and are willing to sac rifice some of their time for the public good.

Milling Plant Will
Use Electric Power
New System To Be Installed In Time
To Commence Operations When
st. Cloud Power Is
Introduced

The plant of the Central Minnesota
Milling Company in this city is to be
driven by electric power in the future,
William Parker, proprietor of the
plant made statement to this effect
Monday morning and announced that
he had an electrical engineer then on
the grounds making an estimation of
the amount of current it would be
necessary to use in operating of the
plant. Engineer Marvin of st. Cloud,
who had charge of the arranhge-
ment at the plant, is of the opinion
that it will require motors developing
125 h. p, to drive the machinery at
the mill, and these will be installed
and connected up in time to give the
mill electric services just as soon as
the service of the st. Cloud company
is commenced IN Sank Centre.
During the present week and due
to the fuel restrictions, the mill has
been operating with water power and
at half capacity. 1t is a ruling of the
fuel administration that coal can be
used only for heating purposes in
plants of this tpye.
With the introduction of electricity
Mr.. Parker hopes tho greatly increase
of output of his establishment.

RED CROSS SEAL
SALE TO CLOSE
CITY STILL FAR BELOW QUOTA
AND ONLY FEW DAYS LEFT
TO BUY SEALS
ONLY HALF OF QUOTA RAISED
COMMITTEE ASKS THE CITIZ-
EMS TO CARRY CAMPAIGN
OVER THE TOP

Sank Centre citizens will have to
hurry if they intend to carry their
Red Cross seals sale over the top this
year.
With only a few days left in which
to complete the Christmas camp
align, this city's allotment is only half
completed.
Mrs. J.. F. Dubois, local campaign
manager, stated this week that OF
the $4,000 quota allotted to Sank
Centre, only $4,000 has thus far
oeen subscribed and she urges the
people of the city to come forward
and assist her in making this CAM
paign te success. that it has been
in the past.
The campaign for the Red Corss
seals was originally intended to open
on December 1, and to continue until
Dec. 10th, but due to the lack of in
crest taken in the campaign here, it
was decided to carry the sale over to
the holidays in order to give the
people plenty of time to make this
years Red Cross seal sale success.
'T wish that the people of the city
and vicinity could understand the
true situation" said Mrs. Dubois, 81
believe that they are willing to
carry this campaign through as sue
cessfully as they have in the past, but
l believe that they have given to such
an extent that they have lost interest.
The city is organized in block teams
for the carrying on of this work and
Mrs. Dubois is of the opinion that if
every captain made forceful cam
paign between now and Christmas
that the city would hold its own in
this important Red Cross seal drive

Trains BACK ON
old SCHEDULES
NO CHANGE IN SERVICE IN
TO AFFECT SAUK CENTRE
AS YET
G. N. NUMBER FOUR STILL OF
MELROSE AGAIN HAS TRAINS
S AND 6 ON SCHEDULE h
SERVICE HAMPERED

Although the old train schedules
on most of the railroads of the
state resumed operations at mid
night Wednesday, the change will
make very little difference to the city
of Sank Centre.
AS. late as noon today, local rail
road men had received no notice re-
garding the return to servic of train

the Great Northern which effected
train service here.
Melrose has again secured the SER
vice of local trains Nos. and 6,
which We're discontinued last week
These two trains operated between
Melrose and st. Paul and are very
beneficial to local passengers. ;.
Train service in and yout of Sank
Center both on the main line and the
branch runs, has been badly crippled
during the past week owing to the
severe cold
Most of the through locals are being
pulled by two engines in an effort to
make up time, but there is hardly a
train either to or from the cities thai
is not at least half hour late and
most of the trains are running on sta
ton to station orders.
Service on the Great Northern
branch out of Sank Center has been
subject to much delay because of the
troubles on the main line and these
trains are made up here and usually
held until all connections are made
making their runs largely as wild
Then too, the recent change in the
general service is raising hub with all
time schedules. If the railroad adj
ministration continues to give short
service, train men say that it will
probably be weeks before matters
can adjust themselves to normal
A traveller arriving in Sank Center
Friday from North Dakota said that in
Dakota trains were running all the
way from one to twenty four hours
late because of the cold.

Guardsmen Test
New Machine Gun
Local Machine Gun Company Hike to

Rounds Sunday Afternoon

Forward-March!

'Ten-shun! Com-pan-ee!
Forward-March!
Oh boy, but it was cold. Away
down with the mercury flirting with
the thirty below mark, but that made
little difference to the men of the
Sank Centre machine gun company.
They were thinking of their comrades
away up in the northern woods doing
strike duty and of the call they ex-
pect most any day, so they took an
other hitch in their belts and galloped
out in the extreme cold to try out
one of their new Browning guns.
All this happened Sunday after
noon, and the range used by the OUT
fit was the Brown Bros. property a
short distance from the city.
Under the direction Of Sergeant
Earl Rowling, regular army, the COM
pany used a target at 100 yards and
in spite of the severe cold the men
secured rs direct hits out of the 1913
rounds fired. Only one gun was used
and because of the cold the boys ex-
perienced some trouble when the
piece would occasionally freeze up.
Captain William Parker command
ed the company and was accompanied
by his staff of officers. The gun was
taken to tie range by Sergeant Row
ings In motor car.
The object of the range firing Sum
day was to give the men an oppor-
tunity to see their new pet in action
and to experience the firing of the

CHRISTMAS CHEER
EVERY WHERE now
TOYLAND LOOKS GOOD TO THE
BIG AND LITTLE KIDDIES
THIS YEAR
STORES ALL WELL STOCKED
HIGH PRICES PREVAIL BUT OLD
SANTA WILL BE GOOD JUST
THE SAME

It's toys, toys and Christmas cheer
everywhere in storeland these days.
With Christmas only week off, the
holiday atmosphere in Sank Center's
business center has taken on a rosy
air.
Department stores in the city are
filled with Christmas temptations, and
although the variety this year is not
as large as it has been in the past,
the Sank Center Christmas shopper
will find most anything he or she may
desire in the local stores.
But conditions are somewhat differ
ent this year than they have beeh in
the past. The public is buying more
carefully than has been customary in
years gone by. Staple articles are
taking the place of the usual tinsil and
show of the good old days before the
war. -. ..
One department manager explained
this condition by saying that the aver
age increase in cost of commodities
this year is at least fifty per cent
higher than it was last season. Some
necessaries, he said had advanced as
high as three and four hundred per
cent.
But it is toyland this year that is in
teresting to the average buyer In
most every instance only American
toys are being handled and it is quite
evident that the foreign made toy,
GO in, ct ~
been driven from the market. Now
and then few Japanese toys appear
on display, but they are on minor
quality and cut but little figure in the
general run of the trade.
And it is not only in the stores that
plans are being made for big holiday
season, in spite of the H. C. L. One
firm of local butchers have purchased
a real buffalo for the holidays and
persons so desiring, may serve buffalo
steak on their table on Christmas
day. In fact, everything will be iurt
as merry as ever this year, the only
feature of the day now conspicuous in
it's absence, being the tom and Jerry"
twins of days not now even considered
on the calendar.
To date, or rather at this writing, no
Christmas trees have appeared on the
market, but the date is still early for
this trade and from general under
standing there will be no shortage of
trees this year. Tree decorations are
very much in vogue in the various
stores and they are somewhat differ
ent this year. There are none of
the foreign make at all, but the trim.
mings are all there, just as pretty
and attractive and pleasing as in the
days when this particular market was
monopolized by the German manu-
facturer.
The one big obstacle that will cut
a figure in the usual Christmas pro-
gram this year, will be the lack of
| Christmas candies. This is due to
the restricted sugar conditions. Man
ufacturers are facing hard problem
in the candy game, and although there
will be no shortage of ordinary can
dies, the old time home made variety
may haYe to be postponed to bright
er day. Merchants and housewives
have foreseen this condition, and are
already taking steps to overcome the
situation as much as possible, but it
is probable that the pretty colored
goods will not appear on the market at
all.
