Night PrOWler Being
Sought by the Police
Make Practice of Annoying Women
on Streets-DescriptiOn
Furnished Police

A night prowler who has made "a
practice of annoying women on the
streets during the early hours OF the
evening, is being sought by the police
and members of the Robert Swift
Post, American Legion
The fellow, whose description has
been furnished by persons who have
been victims" of his within, has so
far shown no dangerous intentions,
but his attitude is one which is most
disagreeable to ladies travelling alone
about the city streets.
Several young ladies have reported
that he was on various occasions
follower them about the STREETS using
every means to force his company on
to them. One lady who was ap-
preached by the fellow was obliged
to seek refuge with neighbor- to
avoid his overtures.
Persons familiar with the mans
actions believe him to be more or less
feeble minded. He has at no time
attacked anybody but merely SEEM
ed anxious to force his company.

Postmaster Makes
His Annual Appeal
Says Holiday Packages Should be
mailed Early" to Avoid TrOu-
BILE During Rush Season.

Postmaster Joseph Schoenhoff is
making his annual Christmas request
that all holiday packages be mailed
just as early as possible to avoid de-
lay and difficulty during the big rush
of mail holiday week.
During the last season the local
post office department handled huge
amount of package mail and because
of the cooperation of the public, lit
tie or no difficulty was experienced
here.
According to Mr.. Schoenhotf an
nual holiday mail begins to become a
problem the first week in December
and this continues until the holidays
have past. There is always con-
gestion of mail over the entire route,
and where mail is disposed of early
the congestion is considerably relieved
at a time when post office depart
ment needs cleared decks to efficient
ly handle the big package mails OF
Christmas week.
Postmaster Schoenhoff is well
pleased with the cooperation IN thus
matter rendered him in the past, and
he asks that this season the public
again help him by disposing OF It's
Christmas mail as early as possible.

Highway Appeal is
Made in District Court
Citizens Not Satisfied With Ruling
of Commissioners On Long
Prairie Road.

An appeal to the district court was
made this week by. the citizens of
Sank Centre through Harry Hooper,
a resident on the proposed new high
way between Sank Centre and Long
Prairie in answer to the recent rul-
ing by the Stearns County Board of
Commissioners.
At a late meeting Of that body,
the commissioners vetoed the plan
for this highway, citing in their APP
peal the necessity of bridging the
lake. at the "Narrows" near Sank
Centre.
The appeal which was filed with
the clerk Of the District Court on
Wednesday. calls attention to the
fact that the proposed new route is
both desirable and practical. That
it shortens the distance between the
two cities by about three miles and
that it will eliminate number of
the dangerous curves along the pres
ent roadway.
Engineers familiar with the plan,
maintain that the three miles de-
Quoted from the present route by the
adoption of the new plan, would
save at least 100000 in the cost of
hardsurfacing the route under the
Babcock plan.
The new road would run through
Little Sank and Round Prairie and
would give both Sank Centre and
Long Prairie better trade facilities.

Smoke Nuisance Has
Reached GreviOuS Stage
Quality of Fuel Used at Public
Schools Menace to Citizens and
Nearby Property

The quality Of fuel being used by
the Sank Centre school board is
causing the citizens, especially those
living in close proximity to the
school, as well as the business dis
trict, endless annoyance because of
the intense smoke and SCOT coming
out of the chimney in great clouds
whenever fresh fires are built. The
smoke is having it's effect on the
school buildings, too, and if continu-
ed indefinitely would cause beauti-
full structures to resemble round
houses.
The Herald understands that the
board are as badly worried over the
condition as citizens and it is said
that the nuisance will not be tolerat-
ed another year, as nothing but Po-
chohantas fuel will be used in the
future.

Practical Joke Ends
in Near Riot Monday
Blowing Whistle of Threshing En-
4. CINE Causes Considerable
Alarm in Night

) The unexpected footing Of whistle
on a threshing engine in the yards
of the Bergman Implement Com
pany early Monday night, coupled
with the untimely sounding of the
burglar alarm on the First State
State Bank, set the local police force
stepping sideways and gave the gem
eral public some concern, Monday
evening.
Reports of hold-ups, burglary and
iailbreaking, were rife in the COM
munity and it was not until the whole
situation was finally solved that
business was resumed on an even
keel again Tuesday morning.
Late Monday afternoon thresh-
ing engine with a full head of steam
was delivered into the Bergman
yards. A number of practical jok-
ers were informed of the arrival of
the engine, and remembering the talk
of crime and tribulation going the
rounds of the city in the wake of the
recent arrest of two men from the
north, these lads planned to sound
an alarm just by way of breaking
the usual tranquility of the city
streets. They cleverly tied down the
whistle on the engine and then de-
parted to watch the results. Almost
simultaneously with the sounding of
the whistle the burglar alarm on the
First State Bank doomed out its

Marguerite Clark Will
Give Red Cross Benefit
Popular Actress to Appear on Screen
in Sank Centre to Aid in Sale
of Christmas Seals

The annual sale of Christmas seals
is being vigorously pushed in Mime
sofa, the receipts of which will be
used in public health work, particu-
larly the Suppression of tuberculosis.
Sank Centre has always contributed
literally to the Christmas seal sale.
Heretofore concentrated drive has
been made from house to house.
Mrs. William Parker, chairman of
the local sale, and her assistants,
have decided to do away with the
concentrated drive this year. They
have placed the seals on sale at both
drug stores, and they have taken
over the Caughren theatre on We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings of
next week, Dec. Is and 16 and will
convert the net receipts into this
fund.
The Red Cross ladies have been
extremely fortunate in booking dain-
ty Marguerite Clark for the Christ
mas seal benefit. The little star has
a delightful role as heroine of a pic
ture based on Juliet Wilbor Tomp-
kins' famous novel, "a Girl Named
Mary"
The popularity of Marguerite
Clark is not of the fly-by-night var1-
ETY.. She has been making pictures
for Famous Players Lasky Corpor-
alton since the organization was
first founded. "Wildfiower," her
first starring vehicle, earned her a
place among the chief film lumin-
aries of the day. She has never re-
coded from this high position. but
has rather added steadily to her per-
sonal following and to her standing
as distinguished artist and an ex-
cellent boxoffice attraction for exhi-
bitors. Miss Clark has appeared in
all kinds of pictures-"Prunella," a
beautiful fairy story; "Uncle Toms
Cabin. ""Rich Man, Poor Man., a
straight drama, and delightful COM
edies like ssWidow by Proxy" and "a
Girl Named Mary" 1t is perhaps
in romantic screen comedies that she
is most happily cast and has scored
her greatest successes.
The role of Mary Healy, the viva
cious little heroine of "a Girl Named
Mary" brings out all the inimitable
talents of Miss Clark. The part is
packed with sparkle and wistful hui
NOR that makes a fine appeal. Your
folks will like the dainty star IN
this one.
There will also be corking two
reel Sunshine comedy. Remember
dates for the Red Cross benefit are
Wednesday and Thursday evening
of next week, Dec. Is and IL.

respectively, the remaining 81 go
ing to the local post.

A complete CONCESSION OF lmpnca-
ton in the passing of worthless
checks in dozen Minnesota cities,
was wrung from o. e. Barber and
"Pete" Richards, two men taken in
to custody here early Sunday morn
ing, following a third degree grill
ing given the pair at the city jail
Tuesday night by Mayor Adam In
gram of Sank Centre and Deputy
Sheriff R. T. Serrurier of Duluth.
The apprehension Of the pair
which took place early Sunday morn
ing, followed closely upon an in
quiry regarding the men at Duluth
police headquarters. The inquiry
was based upon a record produced
here at the Minnesota Home School
for Girls.
Advices received here since the ar
rest of the men, evidently clears up
a problem which has been confront
ing the police departments of Chi
cago, Minneapolis and Duluth for
many weeks.
Barber and Richards arrived in
Sank Centre last Saturday afternoon
from the east. Later, in the evening,
they drove to the Minnesota Home
School for Girls and asked to be al
lowed to see an inmate Of the insti-
tuition. Because of the hour of their
call, this permission was refused.
The name o. E. Barber given the
officer of the school was strikingly
similar to one Oakley Barkley," of
whom the institution had record,
and arousd suspicion.
Acting wholly upon the clue fur
nished by the school and information
received by a taxi driver who over
heard something of the mems con-
versation during the afternoon, May
or Ingram got in touch with the
Duluth police with the result that

that the pair be taken into custody
on the ground that Barber was
wanted in Duluth for grand larcency.
While awaiting information from

Night Police Rosenberger, acting up
on the strength of information given
them by taxi men, went to the room
in the hotel occupied by these men
and made search of the premises
while the pair were at lunch in the
cafe below.
: This search resulted in the finding
of a check for $56.75 against the
Metropolitan Fur Company of Chi
cago, hidden in the bed clothing OF
their bed. At this time a blank pad
of checks on the same firm was found
in their possession, together with a
protectograph such as is used IN the
stamping of figures on checks.
Upon receipt of word from Duluth
to hold the two men, Night Police
Rosenberger, J. E. Bonner and A.
Benson, upon the order Of the Mayor,
took them into custody early Sunday
morning. Both were sleeping sound
|ly when surprised by the police, and

time that had he heard the hrst

QUEERING 1T ALL

The fiavoring of home made
Christmas plum pudding, mince
meat and branded herries and
peaches with alcoholic spirits,
is a direct violation of the pro-
hibition laws and such goods
prepared for home consump-
ton on Christmas day, may be
sliced and confiscated, accord
ing to a ruling issued this
week by the Department OF In,
ternal Revenue at Washington.
In explanation, officials say
that their Interpretation OF the
law is that products in which
alcohol is an ingredient can be
made only by manufacturers
who are licensed and that in
that case the ingredient must
contain less than one-half OF
one per cent.
Even the old Christmas
mince pie with its usual
brandy "stick comes under the
ban and no longer will the
blazing pudding be feature.
