SAUK CENTRE HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL TEAM OPENS The
SEASON WITH FINE VICTORY

Sank Centres high school football
team had the first opportunity TO
show their goods this year at the fair
grounds last Saturday afternoon
when they took on the Long Prairie
team.
When play was called it was dis
covered that the teams were about
the same weight, but it was soon APP
parent that Coach Schroeder had in
stilled more football punch and
knowledge of the game into the
Sank Centre lads than was possessed
by the visitors. Long Prairie never
made first down all afternoon, and
the only score they made was when
one of their players intercepted a
forward pass in the second half and
sped like the wind 60 yards for a
touch down. 1t was beautiful play
well executed by the young man.
In the second half Sank Centre be-
gan the open field tactics and much
ground was gained by the air route.
The final score was 33 to Z in favor
of Sank Centre.
Saturdays contest was crude in
many respects as there were many
green men in the game. Only two
veterans, Caughren and Lee, We're in
the Sank Centre lineup, and it is
presumed that Ne visitors likewise
had q orreen organization
Sank Centre goes to Long Prairie
Saturday afternoon where they will
endeavor to repeat the dose admins
tered on their home gridiron last Sat-
urday.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS MAY
GO HUNGRY FOR WANT OF
COMPETENT KITCHEN HELP

Difficulties in the way of higher
learning at the University have APP
peared. They are intangible, but,
nevertheless, they are difficulties, and
may seriously hamper the Univers-
ity's organization for the feeding of
its students, both at the agricultural
school and college and on the main
campus.
The University of Minnesota
houses something like 600 farm
school students at University Farm.
It also maintains large cafeteria for
the accommodation of agricultural
college students. At the main campus
is another large cafeteria in Shevlin
Hall for the use of hundreds of
women students and the Minnesota
Union for men. The shortage in help
is the same in all. This in spite of
the fact that the management is of
fering $40 a month with room and
board for an 8-hour day of service
as against $35 offered last year, and
$1S, with similar privileges, the year
before.

M. F. DOROTHY OF ILLINOIS
NEW MANAGER OF BOSTON
DRY GOODS DEPARTMENT

After serving the people of Sank
Centre and vicinity for many years,
w. o. P. Hilsdale of the Boston Store
is shaping his affairs so that he can
relinquish his activities in the man
agement of the business. With this
end in view M. F. Dorothy of Vir-
ginia, ILL.,, practical dry goods man,
has been placed in charge of the dry
goods department. When the war
broke out Mr.. Dorothy was manager
of the Virginia Dry Goods Co., Yir-
ginia, Ill. He entered service and
was commissioned second lieutenant of
the Machine Gun Co., of the 349th
Init, and saw service on the Alsace
and Argonne fronts. He was dis
charged in May of this year. While
he was in the army the store of which
he was manager changed hands and
it was necessary for him to secure
new connections. He is a practical
dry goods specialist of years exper-
ienca, and in cnnection with Sig.
Holmes, who will remain in charge of
the clothing and Jos. Cardinal, who
retains the shoe department, should
make strong combination to con-
tinue this very successful business.
Mr.. Dorothy is now on the job at
the Boston. He has a pleasing per-
sonality and will undoubtedly make a
host of friends in a short time. Mrs.
Dorothy will arrive in Sank Centre
soon.

ENJOYABLE THANKSGIVING
SERVICE AT THE CONGREGA-
TIONAL CHURCH ON SUNDAY

A special harvest Thanksgiving
service was held at the Congregation
al church on Sunday last. The
church was prettily and artistically
decorated with fruit and flowers and
leaves and grain and some splendid
specimens of the finest vegetables
were also included. The church was
a picture of beauty impressing every
one with the variety and beauty of
Gods gifts. Special music was rend-
cred by the choir and real Thanks
giving spirit prevailed. The pastor
Rev. Cecil S. Sparkes, preached from
the text eye are Gods Fellow-work-
ers." The introduction of the mes
sage was a call to Thanksgiving for
the gifts of the harvest after which
the message was a plea for greater
realization of the truth of the Divine
partnership. Pointing out how the
fruits, of the earth were the result of
mans partnership with God, the CO.
operation of the Divine and the
human, the pastor pleaded for the
realization of the truth of the Divine
partnership upon the higher plane of
life and thought. One thought per-
haps sums up the message "God has
greater task for man than making
the earth yield its increse. He wants
the cooperation of man in the Divine
partnership for making the Kingdom
of the world the Kingdom of our
Lord and His Christ"
There was a splendid congregation
present to return thanks and the
service was enjoyed by all. Mrs.
j. w. Ward was in charge of the
music which was of high order and
splendidly rendered.
The church was decorated by the
Misses A-aad J. Emersons Miss Ethel
WinsloW and Mrs. Strong.
Continuing the Thanksgiving
festival the ladies and young ladies
] societies of the church served a
splendid supper on tuesday evening
in the dining room of the church; 200
were served and fine time enjoyed
by everyone. The supper was plan
ned and ORGANIZED by Mrs. L. j. Irish
and Mrs. Victor Conklin, assisted BY

WAS UNANIMOUSLY SELECTED
OUT OF A FIELD OF SO
CANDIDATES.

M. d. Aygarn, for the past eight
years superintendent of the Sank
Centre public schools. has been mott
we'd of his unanimous election as sup
erintendent of the schools at Bull,
Mimi, on the Iron Range.
I This is decided promotion in the

school men to land on the range. The
Bull district comprises a number of
nearby villages. There are HOO
pupils in the district and SO teachers
are employed. Mr.. Aygarn's salary
in his new location will be in excess
of $4,000 per year. Besides a large
Peerless auto is furnished and main

his new work Oct. 20.
During the eight years in Sank
Centre Mr.. Aygarn with the co-opera-
ton of the board has made the Sank
Centre schools one of the foremost in
the state. The Bull position came to
him unsought on his part. He was
considered in connection with sc
other possibilities.

of friends in Sank Centre who regret
sincerely the necessity of their re-
moval, and hope that their lives in
their new home will be pleasant and
prosperous.

PAY HIGHER TAXES
KATE FOR NEXT YEAR WILL BE
LARGEST IN THE STATES
HISTORY,
TOTAL WILL REACH 81 MILLS
LEGISLATURE APPROPRIATED
$6.9S5.O27-PORTION THE DIFF
FERENT FUNDS RECEIVE.

Minnesota will pay the highest tax
levy in the history of the state next
year, State Auditor ]. A. O. Preus
said late Monday when he certified
the new state rate of 81 mills to the
county auditors.
Direct taxation is relied on to raise
$14,176,465 of the $21,977,995 esti-
mated expenditures by the state in
1920. The rest is to be met by in
come and licenses, taxes on gross
earnings and other sources.
Appropriations by the 1919 Eegisla-
ture call. for SGT mills of the new
rate and the act of previous sessions
for 2.45 mills.
War expenses are reflected in the
state rate, the new rate which breaks
all records for. high levels having
been approached only by the 6 mill
rate of 1866 at the end of the Civil
war. The lowest Minnesota rate was
81 in 1910; the 1918 rate 3.5 and the
1917 5.8 mills. Taxes for state pur-
poses only to be collected next year
will be more than double the current
taxes.
Appropriations by the 1919 legisla-
ture, in regular and special session,
are estimated at $65,9S5,027. The
principal items are $32,510,027 of
regular appropriations for state
activities during the two year period,
the soldiers bonus fund of $4,000
900, with $5,OO0,0O added for inter-
est, University of Minnesota build

J. Desmond, superintendent of ac--
counting in the aditor's office, indi-
cate the 1920 tax levy for collec--
ton in 1921 will be nearly as heavy
as the new tax now certified. The
new levy to produce $14.176,465, will
weld $9,s59,OOO toward appropria-
tons made by the 1919 Legislature
and the 1920 levy, the statement
shows, must yield s9,635 600 for those
funds.
