Mrs. A. F. Moynihan and Mrs. Fl.

committee at St. Cloud on Monday.
The meeting was called for the pur-
pose of meeting the new field secre-
tary, Miss Louise Pye, who has
charge of the child welfare work in
the district of which Stealns county
is a part. Miss Pye was recently APP
pointed to this position by the State
Board of Control.
The new secretary was very well
pleased with the showing made b. the

the statement that with the excep-
ton of the larger cities, this organi-
ration showed more results and acti-
witty than any other committee in the
state,

Has Very Enjoyable
Trip Through the West
Ed Hansen and Sister Miss Nellie
Return From Oregon and WASH
ingtOn Wednesday Afternoon.

Ed Hansen returned Wednesday
afternoon from month spent in the
West. The primary object of the
trip was to attend the gathering of
the Imperial Council of the Mystic
Shrine at Portland, Ore. He spent
II very enjoyable days at Portland
as the guest of BILLY" Boyd, about
whom the Herald will have more to
say next week.
Ten days was spent at Seattle Wis
iting with his sister, Miss Nellie.
and other relatives. While at Seattle
he had the privileges of making althor
ough inspection of the navy yards
at Bremecton. Wash. and also going
over the large battleship Mississippi
from stem to stern, and the torpedo
Destroyer Dorsey.
Miss Nellie Hansen accompanied
her brother home and will remain for
an indefinite period as the guest of
her mother. They came back through
Canada, by boat from Seattle to Vic
toria and over the C.sP R., to Win
nipeg. On the boat and the trip
through Canada they came in con-
tact with large number of people
returning from the Frisco Conven-
ton. Many Of these were correspon-
dents of the big Eastern newspapers.
Ed says the newsgathers men were a
bunch of live ones. The cOncensus of
opinion among these fellows is that
the convention named the strongest
man in Cox, but that Democracy's
chance fer victory at the November
election was mighty slim. The pri-
vate car containing the Ohio dele
cation was also attached to the trair
a good portion of the way through
Canada.
Mr.. Hansen is thoroughly infatu-
ated with the West and enjoyed ev-
cry minute of his outing.

After Attempted, n obbery
Fortune Telling and Picking Pockets
Chief Occupation-Traveled
in Automobiles.

After attempting to pick the pocket
of young man victim" of their
fortune telling endeavors, a band of
Gypsies who wished themselves on
Sank Centre, were ordered out of
town late Monday afternoon.
The band travelled in class, regard
less of their observation Of time hon
ored custom of dolling themselves up
in gala colors and filth. They arrived
here and left n three automobiles, no
two Of which carried numbers from
the same state.
These soldiers of fortune had all of
the ear marks of Gypsies Of the low
est type. The women in the party, as
usual, carried on the days business.
They had enjoyed success in Their
fortune telling game until one Of the
softer sex attempted to "Gpy" ten
dollar bill from one of the fortune
seeking audience. The trick was dis
covered and the jig was up.
Chief of Police Joe Miller got "hep'
to the racket and did his duty-the
travellers moved on their way quickly.

not withdraw and if such is the case
Mr.. Townley will have to file his
candidates by petition. At meeting
of Leaguers held in Minneapolis last
week, Townley was the big speaking
card and he took advantage of the
occasion to send out frantic calls for
financial help. A million dollars was
his cry and he gave it out cold that

selves that he might have to pass the

CHILDRENs CLINIC

The baby clinic held at the Junior
High School July 9Th under the aus
picies of the Minnesota Public
Health Association was a distinct
success. A portion of the money OBJ
tanned from the sale of the Red
Cross Christmas seals as used to fl
nance the clinic and number of
public spirited Sank Centre women
assisted the mothers in preparing
their babies for examination.
DIR. Robb, who is associated with
DIR. Sedgwick the well known baby
specialist of Minneapolis, did the ex-
aminations assisted by Miss Rose
Backes the Red Cross County nurse.
Thirty-six babies We're examined, a
number of whom had attended pre-
viuos clinics.
At the close of the day DIR.
Robb stated that he did not want TO
make Sank Centre unduly proud but
in all the clinics he had held, he had
never seen finer specimans of baby
hood CT more intelligent mothers.
Either the previous clinics had ac-
complished much good or Sank Gem
tire was blessed with good physicians.
1t is planned to hold nutritional
clinic under the auspices of the
Sank Centre Branch American Red
Cross during the three days of the
County Fair on the fair grounds.
This will take in all the CHILDREN up
to fourteen years and will give
mothers over the entire county an
opportunity for expert advice on diet,
neglected physical defects and the
numerous things that parents will
not take time to call to the attention
of the family physician. There will
also be a Health Clown at the Fair.
Grounds to amuse the children.

Lands Coaching Job
at Colorado Springs
Ben Schroeder Will Direct Athletics
in Western Town During Com
ing School Year. :.

The many Sank Centre friends of
Bernard Schroeder, former athletic
coach of the Sank Centre schools viii
be interested in knowing that he has
been elected as athletic director of me
Colorado Springs, COL, high school,
at a fine salary. The Herald under
stands that Colorado Springs is city
of about 10000 and is generally look
ed upon as the best coaching job in
Colorado. The following from a 1e-
cent issue of the Colorado Springs
daily, will be of interest:
! Bernard R. Schroeder, of Sank
Centre, Mimi, a member of the fam
Gus Carleton college eleven which
upset all the dope in 1917 when it
handed defeat to the strong Uni
versity of Chicago team, champions
of the western conference, probably
will be the new coach for the Terror
athletic teams during the coming
syear.
Schroeder is young man with
considerable experience IN esaching.
He received his athletic training un-
des- Coach Claude Jump Hunt a for
mer DePau university athletic star,
who, as coach of the Carleton college
teams, established an enviable repu-
tation when he took his teams through
three years of athletic competition
without losing single game. Hun.
is the successor to Gilmore Doble,
coach of Washington university, and
is considered one of the best athletic
teachers in the country.
Schroeder will, in all probability
adopt Hunt methods in handling the
Terror teams.
Schroeder is at present in Colora-
do Springs, the guest of relatives at
704 West Cucharas street. He will in
all probability remain here through
out the summer, when his plans will
be made for the coming athletic sea-
SON.
4The present plan is to make the
grade school very live, factor in the
physical education department of the
school work. In other wears this work
has been somewhat neglected, but
during the coming year a great deal
of attention will be paid to physical
culture in all grade schools as well as
the high school. ~
Schroeder is especially trained in
physical culture work and will have
direct charge of the physical training
IN the entire school system. He comes
here highly recommended by his for
mer instructor, Coach Claude Hunt,
and various members of the faculty
of Carleton college at NorthfeId.
MINI.
III. D. Cushman, coach at the high
school last year, will go to Sault Ste.

MINNESOTA LAKES
VERY POPULAR
SAUK CENTRE GETS SHARE OF
SUMNER TRAVELLERS
MANY STOP HERE
FISHING POPULAR SPORT
SOME TAKE COTTAGES AND
OTHERS CARRY CAMPING
OUTFITS WITH THEM

Minnesota's ten thousand lakes are
proving one of the big attractions of
the summer season this year.
Tourists from all sections of the
south and west are hurying to the
lakes in search of little of the hui
merous pleasures to be found on the
shore of these pretty little inland
waters, the fishing possibilities of
which have made Minnesota famous
as summer outing ground.
And the visitors in the state all
come equipped to make the most of
their opportunities. AS a rule, they
travel in automobiles, carry their
camping equipment with them, and
remain on the grounds for many days
at time.
Some complain of the disagree
able roads along Minnesota's "Senic'
highway, but with the black bass sea-
SON in full swing, even poor roads
fail to- keep the summer sportsman
away from the scenes of his ambition.
Sank Centre and it's vicinity is
coming in for no little of their share
of this summer trade. There is not
q day passef but that a nun bel If
carloads of tourists a..rive here, lock
over the grounds, select one of hum
dred beautiful camping sites and then
proceed to make. this their home for
the present.
One gentleman and his family who
are camping at the Fairy Lake resort
is authority for the statement that in
all Of his camping travels, and he has
had many, his site at Fairy Lake was
the best he had ,evev found. This
family travel in a car built especially
for outing purposes and. they will
probably remain at Fairy Lake for
several weeks.
Cottages on Little Birch, Sank Lake
and Fairy Lake have practically all
been occupied by local people who are
spending the summer away from the
cares of business.
The fishing IN these parts is UNI
usually good this season. Every day
anglers bring in large strings of
game fish and this condition gets
better as the season advances.
Bathing too, is at its height. The
bath houses at Fairy Lake are well
patronized every evening and on Sun
days large crowds take advantage of
this opportunity to enjoy this ex-
cellent bathing beach. Sank Lake
too, comes in for its share of this
sport and the bath houses at the city
park Pre- put to good use.
As the season advances, Sank Cen
tire gives evidence of becoming one OF
the most popular summer play
grounds in the state.

Fair Association Wants
Farm Boys Name
Applicants for "Pigs" to be Given
Out by Fair Committee Must
Apply in Writing.

Secretary Gordon v. Morse of the
Steans County Fair Association,
wants the names of farmer boys
boys who are willing to take and to
raise the pure bred pigs which will
be given out by the association to de-
serving farm boys. .tSIIf
Mr.. Morse makes just one stipula-
tion-that the boys come from farms
where there is at present no pure
bred stock.
eve are endeavoring to encourage
the raising of pure bred hogs" said
Mr.. Morse Monday, "and we want to
place this stock on farms where there
is at present no pure bred stock OF
any kind.
ave do not know at this time just
how many pigs we will have to give
out, but we want the boys to make
application in writing"
Other members of the committee in
charge of this pig raising work are
E. M. Gillig and Joseph Letmer. APP
plication may also be made through
them.
The plan adopted by the associa-
ton is one which that body believe
will lead to big increase of pure
bred hogs in Stearns county. The
boys favored by the committee viii
each be given a pig under contract to
feed and raise the animal. AT the
end of the first year they will pay for
the pig by returning to the committee
two of the animals first litter. The
original pig, together with the balance
of the litter, they may keep as their
own.
Boys making application for pigs
must state too, in their applications
the kind of pig they want. arpe

HIGHWAY MEETING
FRIDAY EVENING
GATHERING OF SAUK CENTRE
CITIZENS CALLED TO DIS
CUSS QUESTION
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
PLAN TO CHANGE HIGHWAY
BETWEEN THIS CITY AND
LONG PRAIRIE


meeting looking toward the change
of the State highway between Long
Prairie and Sank Centre was held at
the Sank Centre Commercial Club
rooms few weeks ago.
A large representation of citizens
from Little Sank and Round Prairie
were present at this meeting, advocat-
ing the proposed change which would
shorten the present route several
miles, besides cutting out practically
all of the sharp and dangerous cur
YES and steep hills between Sank Cen
ire and Long Prairie. The proposed
route would pass through the villages
of Little Sank and Round Prairie,
generally following the Great North
ern railway.
The important feature of the pro-
posed change as far as Sank Centre
is concerned would be the bridging of
Sank Lake at the Narrows at point
where it is 800 feet wide with an
average depth of six feet of water.
1t was stated at this meeting that two
spans each IS feet in length would
handk the proposities The sstimat-
Gu COS. vi inns bridge, even at present
high prices would be in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000.
The state highway commission es-
Inmates the cost of the Babcock hard
surface road construction at $4,000
per mile. The proposed route would
save at least three miles between
Sank Centre and Long Prairie by
making the change. Other advan-
tages is an abundance of high grade
road making material all along the
route, while the beauty of the high
way would be greatly enhanced.
As the Herald pointed out in the
former article, the bridging of the
Narrows would be of inestimable
value to this city because it would
greatly broaden our trade territory.
The local business men present at
the former meeting pretty generally
signed the petition to the Todd coun-
ty commissioners asking for the
change, and it was agreed to call 8
meeting at later date with a view
of getting larger representation of
Sank Centre business men present,
and then have the Commercial Club
pass resolution asking the Stearns
county commissioners to favcrably
consider the change.
In accordance with the above plan
President Bergman of the CONNER
cial Club has called meeting of all
the business, professional men and
other citizens generally to attend 4
meeting to be held at the Commercial
Club rooms Friday evening, July L.
at eight o'clock. Delegations from
thA +nwns in Todd county interested
in the change WIN be present and
every detail of the proposed route will
be discussed.
The Herald sincerely hopes the
citizens will give this matter the at
tention it deserves by being on hand
and taking part in Fridays meeting.
