If soldier has been wounded. but
upon his discharge reported in good
physical condition. he is given no phys
ical disability. But if he later suffers
from the effect of this original wound
he is entitled to disability compen-
sation. This ruling is according to in
stfuctions received at the home serv-
ice section of the Red Cross with Of
flees in the post office. The only point
to be considered is whether the origin
al cause of the soldiers disability
dates back prior to receiving his dis
charge. Soldiers are also notified that
the rates for compensation have been
increasing, and that if disability de-
velops, even if discharged in good
condition, there is also the opportunity
for vocational training.

Charles Dicks, also of Sank Centre.
The ceremony was performed at the
St. Mary's Catholic church, Brecken-

Haupt. The happy couple were at
tended by Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Kind
Ter, friends of the bride.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cordell arrived in
Sank Centre that evening and have
been visiting with relatives and
friends for a short time before keav-
ing for their home at Lusk, Wyo.
The contracting parties to this
happy event grew up in this vicinity

Herald in extending Fluctuations for a
long, happy and prosperous life.

important.
When I see the little pinched and
drawn faces here, am more thank
full than ever that my little son is in
good old U. S. A., in one of the finest
homes it would be possible to put him
in. The children are in terrible
condition. Many Of them are sypht-
letic and a great many of them going
blind from a preventable infection. It
is surely true "the sins of the par
ents shall be vested upon their chill
dren." do not suppose the aver
age child here has as much to eat
in 10 days as Tommy gets in one
meal. They will fight over old dry
bread like hungry wolves. I was on
an inspection tour the other day and

There have been many ugly rumors
all over the state about the loyalty of
Stearns county. In the last loan the
farmers of this district did not raise
their quota. The city has done its
full share and will do more, but it is
beyond reason to expect the man in
town to take the big bulk of this allot-
ment.
Stearns county is still shy 100000
on her allotment. ~
The Herald does not believe that the
farmers of this district are intention
ally laying down on their government,
but is of the opinion that they have
failed to come through because they
have been busy seeding. The crop is
now practically in and the Victory
Loan drive will continue for another
10 days. You can look the returned
soldier in the eye with much better
grace after you have taken your allot-
ment. Help finish the job.

STEARNS COUNTY MUST STILL
RAISE THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND.

The city of Sank Centre up to this
Thursday morning had over-subscrib-
ed her Victory Loan Allotment by 32
per cent. Notwithstanding that $92,-
$50 has been subscribed it. does not
mean that every citizen in the city has
done his patriotic duty. The allotment
has been oversubscribed because of
heavy oversubscriptions-no because
every citizen has taken his allotment.
City Chairman DuBeau and his COM
mittee will call on those who have
been allotted and have failed to
respond. .-<s',.-.
What is true in Sank Centre is true
of every city and village in Stearns
county. The farming districts are
away under their quotas. The Herald
understands that Chairman Schilplin
will send a delegation of injured SOL
diers to call on every individual who
has failed to respond to his country's
call. .----~-
Sank Centre township has raised
about 49 per cent of her quota; Ashley
about so per cent; Getty about 33 per

If Stearns County is to do its full part in the winning
of the it will be necessary for the people to for
ward and buy their fair quota of Victory bonds this week.
We are 100000 short right now.

There ought to be 300 farmers in Seas County who alone
could take these bonds and make good thing out Of it.

GERALDINE FARRAR AS JOAN
OF ARC TO BE SEEN AT THE
CAUGHREN THEATRE FRIDAY

Manager DuBeau has succeeded in
securing one of the few really great
films Of the past year, "Joan the Wo-
man." which will be shown at the
Caughren Theater next Friday even
ing, May 2, under the auspices of the
women of Our Lady of the Angels
Church.
The film is from the Lasky studio,
and was made under the direction of
Cecil B. DeMille. Geraldine Farrar
and Wallace Reid take the part of
heroine and hero respectively, and are
supported by cast of real stars.
The story centers around Joan of
Arc, a peasant girl of the crossroads
town of Domremy in France, who felt
a divine call to lead the shabby rem
nants of the armies of France against
the invading enemies. She succeeds
in convincing King Charles VII of the
truth of her call, and is made com
mander-in-chief of the armies of
France. Under her leadership the
military power of the enemies of
France is broken. The leader of the
troops of the Duke of Burgundy who
ARE overrunning France is Eric Trent,
to whom Joan has all but given her
heart. Her mission fulfilled, Joan
rested. It was then that the vision
of the Black Horeman-Michael, the
messenger of God, appeared as she
rode along the highway at the head
of handful Of troops. Suddenly a
small detachment of troops swoop
down upon the party and take Joan
prisoner. She falls into the hands of
Cauchon, the traitor priest, in the pay
of the English, and after a farce of
a trial, is condemned to death as a
hereto. It SO happened that Eric
Trent was at the head of the detach-
ment that took Joan prisoner. He
tries to ransom her, but in vain, and
Joan is burned at the stake.
A modern interlude in the picture is
scene in trench in the war that
is now closing. A young officer, who
has volunteered to sacrifice his life by
planting~a bomb in an enemy trench,
finds the rotted blade Of an ancient
sword while he, waits for midnight.
He is the modern Eric Trent. AS he
dozes, awaiting the time when he
must go out into No-Man's Land and
be shot, he dreams the story of Joan
the Woman, and as he falls later,
ripped through with score of rifle
bullets, after having done his duty,
he feels that he has purged himself
of the wrong he did centuries ago,
when he delivered the woman he loved
into the hands of her enemies.
The fact that Joan of Arc has
always been reverenced in France
that the infamous act of her judges
was repudiated by the Church, and
hat only a few weeks ago she was
canonized, that she has been the ideal
and inspiration of the French army
during the world war that is now clos!
ing, makes this there and film of ex-
traordinary and compelling interest at
the present time.
Two shows will be given ait 7:30
and $3.50. Special orchestra music
goes with the film.
