School Budget Increase
to Meet Salary Raise
Increase of $4,000 Over Last Years
Amount, to Run Sank Centre
Schools

A budget of $4,000 including an
increase of $500 over last years
expense budget, was voted Saturday
afternoon at a school meeting held
at the Sank Centre school.
The increase was made to meet the
salary demands of teachers, which
according to members Of the school
board, have been increased $4,000
over last year.
The meeting last Saturday was
well attended, and the budget voted
upon without reservations.
There has been a general increase
in school expenses, according to
members of.the board, but under the
conditions it was not found necessary
to increase the demands for more
than $500.
Practically all teachers have now
been employed for the ensuing
school year, although Supt. ]. C.
West has been meeting with a OBJ
stacles in hiring his teaching force.
In many instances, teachers who had
signed for the year, have mott
fled the Superintendent that they
could not accept the position here.
Sank Centre schools, according to
persons familiar with school condi-
tions,. are paying as high salaries as
any schools of it's class in the state.

POWER INCREASED
AT Light PLANT
CHANGE MADE LAST SUNDAY
AND MONDAY-CARRIES
IA TO 16 VOLTS MORE
GENERAL INCREASE ON line
ST. CLOUD PLANT DOUBLES
CAPACITY TO MEET RE-
QUIREMENTS OF TOWNS

An increase of from IA to 16 volts
in the power for use in Sank Centre
was made on Sunday and Monday OF
this week by the st. Cloud Water
Power Company of st. Cloud.
This increased power was general
all along the nighttime, and is the
outgrowth of the general complaint
of consumers to the effect that the
line was not giving patrons out from
St. Cloud, efficient service.
From St. Cloud, the voltage al
along the line to Osakis was in
creased from 10000 to $4,000. The
work of changing over the system
started Sunday morning and contin-
ued through Monday.
The high power lines have also
been divided into three separate
units, one being the Glenwood-Sauk
Centre line; the Monticello-Howard
Lake Line and the third the Great
Northern shops and the Pan Motor
Company.
Under this system, an accident oc-
curing On any one Of the divisions
will not interfere with the working
of the entire system. Service here
Monday was delayed for time due
to a burning out of fuses at the
power house at St. Cloud. The de-
lay was not unusual, taking into con-
sideration prior service, and only
lasted about ten minutes.
Under the change made this week
the power at the local plant has been
nd 12O md lcal engieer feesnn
increased from about 108 volts to
LA and 116, and local engineers
feel that the change will give Sank
Centre much better service than
under the former plan.
The change was made by seven
crews of men operating along the
line out of St. Cloud. The work
started at each point Sunday morn
ing at o'clock and was completed
by 1 o'clock Monday morning. This
plan enabled the change to be made
without interfering with the system
using current for power purposes.
The work of preparing for this
change has been going on for over
a year, and crews of men have been
employed each morning between the
hours of 8 and seven changing the
insolatQrs on the cross arms.

FAKE BOND AGENTS
VISIT west union
DISPOSE OF FOREIGN SECUR-
ITlES IN EXCHANGE FOR
LIBERTY BONDS
CLAIMED MINNEAPOLISIOfFlCE
BONDING HOUSE DENIES MEN
IN IT'S EMPLOY-DISAPPEAR
FROM COUNTRY

The little village of West Union is
all in furry over a raid made on the
community Tuesday by pair of fake
bond statesmen. ,
Business in the village and vicinity
flourished for the invaders and ac-
cording to advices from the scene of
action, they had fairly good pickings,
one man alone donating $3.50 to the
cause.
The parties, who gave their names
as Messrs. Meyers and Leading, rep
resented themselves to their pros
pective victims as solicitors for the
kerermer Bonding company of Min
neapolis. They offered for sale,
foreign bonds, mostly German, Civ
ing a receipt with the promise that
the bonds would be issued at later
date. The gentlemen were not par
ticular, they would take either cash
or Liberty Bonds in exchange.
The attention of Cashier Stensland
of the Bank of West Union, was call
ed to the men late, Tuesday, and Mr..
Stensland feeling that all was not as
it should be, Immediately called up
the Kerermer company at Mime
apolis. The company informed him
that the names. given by Myers and
Leading, were not the names of their
operatives and that so far as the
company knew, the men were fake.
Messrs. Leading and Meyers in the
course of their conversation, inform
ed their victims that they had spent
Monday night in Sank Centre at The
Palmer House. Mr.. Stensland visit
ed the Palmer House on Tuesday and
could find no trace of their names on
the register, nor had anybody been a
guest Of the hotel who answered the
description of Leading and Meyers.
They also informed their prospects
that they had done a land-office bust
ness in Long Prairie, but an inves-
tigation resulted in the information
that the men were unknown in Long
Prairie.
1t developed later that the men
made speciality of German bonds
and were operating largely in Ger
man communities.
Banks all through the vicinity have
been advised of the fraud and the at
tention of the local police has been
brought to the case.
The pair were travelling in a Ford
car and have probably put many a
mile between themselves and West
Union.
The Minnesota Bankers Associa-
ton has been advised of the case and
are lending their aid to bring about
the apprehension of the men.

Wheat Crop Small
According to J. C. West
Black Rust Doing Big Damage In
Southwestern MinnesOta-Sit-
uatiOn Working North.

Supt. John C. West returned to
Sank Centre Wednesday morning
after an absence Of three weeks.
Mr.. West, in company with Supt.
Cleave of Springfield, has just COM
pleted ten day tour of Southwestern
Minnesota in behalf of the Federal
government, making an investigation
for black-rust in wheat.
Official reports made by these two
gentlemen, are to the effect that as a
result Of rust, wheat in that section
will be only half a crop this year.
In some instances, Mr.. West said,
whole wheat crops were ruined, and
that as result Of this years ex-
perience, farmers in that locality will
probability abandon the growing of
wheat next year.
This situation, according to Mr..
West, is gradually creeping north
ward.
Other crops, such as corn, rye, oats
and barley, are doing exceptionally
well this year.
Speaking of the future prospects of
wheat raising, Mr.. West stated that
the sitution may be overcome
by farmers cleaning up the
fields of squirrel-grass, quack grass
and bar-berry bushes, which, he said,
breed black-rust and that these must
be cleaned out before another wheat
crop is put in.

are now dying out and unless a

Of LAWS / ASKED

. ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 27.-The
drift of law is, toward uncertainty,
confusion and variation,' according to
the report Of the committee on reclas-
sifcation and restatement of the law,
submitted at today's session of the
convention here Of the American Bar
association. TIE committee suggests
that a simpler reeodifcation of the law
be effected, ard that the laws in the
various states be more uniform.
"Our national aspiration" the re-
port asserts, "should be satisfied by
nothing short of leadership, not by the
power of our financial andoindustrial
ersources of our military strength, but
by reason of the excellence of oursin-
stitutions, our laws, and the, efficient
administration Of justice. A5ceratin
and uniform system of law for a coun-
try so large in area and so divided as
to government can be attained only
through making plain by visible ex-
preston with the greatest attainable
certainty, simplicity, completeness and
order the great system of law which
has been developed but which has been
inadequately expressed in this coun-
l1ry." Il, =
The report emphasizes that clear
understanding of the laws of the sew
aral states is particularly essential
now because of increasing interstate

THE ORDEAL OF BEING
PRESENTED AT COURT

Drawing-room presentations to roy
atty are a great honor, but to most
young girls a great ordeal. Every
thing must be ''just So" In many OF
the European courts before the war,
the very cut of the gown and length
of the train, the minutest detail of
gloves and headdress, had to conform
to an exact standard and model or the
fluttering young woman who wore
them was excluded from the drawing
room and not presented to majesty.
Then, provided that her presentation
gown and its accessories passed mus
ter, the candidate for presentation
must be, oh, so careful of her con-
duct, her gait, her bow, her express
ion and last, but by no means least,
her graceful, backward exit. Being
presented at court was at once the
greatest honor and the greatest or
deal that could come to a young Eur
opean miss. 1t was ten times more
narrowing than being bride and
facing the battery eys at the church.
The drawing room scene at the court
of Prince Anton of Argovinia is but
one of the many fascinating scenes,
played against magnificent settings,
which you will see in "a Dark Ian
term, a new Realart picture, starring
versatile Alice Brady, which comes to

BACK
FROM SAN DIEGO

Judge Phil D. Swing, John Kepley,
Ferne Garland and Harry Woodbury.,
all of whom attended the American
Legion's tconvention in San Diego, re-
turned today, well pleased with the
work of the legion.
The entire valley was well repre-
sented at the convention, and was re-
marked upon for the splendid stand
taken by delegates on al questions.
The legioners, who went on record as
the All American canal, have won for
themselves very close hold as "bud-
dies" in the hearts of the valley men.
The determined stand taken in regard
to immigration is also popular, it is
said.
Speaking of the convention the
opinion of the delegates was about the
same. They all expressed satisfaction
at the proceedings taken, and look for
a great deal of betterment at the re-
suit of the Legions action. Ell Cen
tro people too, are proud of the men
who represented them, and justly
know that few other centers sent such
men to the convention.
