Sinclair Lewis Gets
His Inspiration. Here
Author Says He Knew Many of His
Characters of Main Street I'm
the Flesh"

Sinclair Lewis, Sank Centre to a
large extent, played a part in his in
spiration for "Main Street" accord
ing to statement given out by the
author before club in Detroit, Mich.'
recently.
Asked where he got his inspiration
for the story, Mr.. Lewis admitted
that "He was born and raised, part
way, in a Minnesota village very like
the Gopher Prairie of his novel, and
that many of the characters therein
were known to him in the flesh"
Lewis is reaping something OF a
social and financial harvest while be-
ing '1ionized" all over the country.
Speaking Of his novel, MI. Lewis
said that "Main Street." was IAN
effort to set forth the truth about
small town life in America, and be-
cause It is truthful, he doubts it will
ever become widely popular as the
sugar-coated stories which emphasize
the virtues of homely simplicity of
rusticity as against the complex evil
of the Cities"

Wanted-One Street Commissioner
for duty in the city Of Sank Centre.
Apply to Messrs. Coyle, Bohall and
Rydholm of the city council. III
The new commissioner is to fill the
vacancy left by the retirement from
street obligations of George Rice,
who under recent act of the council
has been relieved of his numerous
duties in the street department, in
order that this work may not conflict
with his work as Water Commission
Ell and city Fire Marshal.
Mr.. Rice will retain his connection
with the street department inasmuch
as he is capable man and in time of
need, will be used as a second man
and placed in charge of certain de-
partments of street work.
The salary of Mr.. Rice remains
unchanged, but in the future the ma
jority of this will be paid by the
Light and Water Commission.
1t is not the purpose of the council
to retain the services of a permanent
street commissioner, but committee
icomposed of Aldermen Coyle, Bohal]
and Rydholm, has been named to

summer season or until about Nov.1
Under the old system, the council
felt that Mr.. Rice, acting as Water

sioner together with the duties OF
Fire Marshal, was loaded with too
many responsibilities and the adj
ditional office of temporary stree

him of part of this work.

LOCAL GOLF CLUB
TO BECOME REALITY
DEFINITE STEPS TAKEN TO
PURCHASE 119-ACRE TRACT
IN THE CITY LIMITS
Membership Limited To 100
NINETY ALREADY SIGNED UP
NAME, SAUk CENTRE
COUNTRY CLUB.

Definite steps were taken last eve
ming to organize and incorporate the
local golf club and recreation park
plan which has been in the process of
incubation for several weeks.
The committee reported that 90
residents of the city had deposited
checks for 500 each for the purchase
from Mrs. Alice Coles of the tract of
land on the north side of the river
and across from the Home School.
An option on this property was Sc
cured a short time ago for $125 per
acre. At that time there was sup
posed to be 126 arces in the piece,
but survey by Engineer Bert Bon
ner shows that there are only 119
acres, ample however, for all pur-
poses.
There was much discussion as how
to proceed with the organization.
Finally motion prevailed for the ap-
pointment of a nominating committee
to name a board of ten temporary
directors. This committee consisted
of P. B. Hanson, DR.. A. l.. Blk and
r. E. Hansen. They recommended
the following gentlemen as temper
airy directors: VIM. Parker, ~ A.
Moore, V. T. Conklin, D.. B. Caugh-
rem, F. w. Sprague, H. S. Halverson,
l.. W. Gingery, j. c. West, E. A.
Richards and j. F. Dubois.
j. C. West was elected temporary
chairman and D. B. Caughren tenn
porary secretary. The directors
were instructed to go ahead and COM
plete the purchase of the tract and
hold the property escrow until
such time as the articles of incor-
poration are completed and filed with
the secretary of state when the stock
will be issued to the stockholders and
the land turned over to the incorpor-
alton.
1t was also voted to limit the
membership in the organization to
100 members. The name selected is
"The Sank Centre Country Club"
, Another meeting of the stockhold-
ers will be held at the Commercial
Club rooms Wednesday evening of
next week at which time the directors
will likely have definite program to
submit to the stockholders.
i 1t is doubtful if another city in the
state the size of Sank Centre will
have as elaborate a recreation park
as will the Sank Centre Country
Club.

The program was varied and each
number made tremendous hit

most of the program was carried out

Sank Centre Citizens Reject
Plan of Sending Home School
Girls to the Public Schools

For months the question of wheth-
er or not selected list of girls from
the Home School should be allowed
to attend the Sank Centre public
schools after the close of the pre-
sent school year, has been agitating
the minds of the citizens of the city
and district.
Recently an action was commenc-
ed in the district court of Stearns
county, the object of which was to
enjoin the Board Of Education from
permitting the Pupils of the Mime
sofa Home School for Girls from at
tending the public schools" The at
torney general had rendered an OPP
inion that the question was optional
with the board.
The board decided to ask for a
referendum of the district on the
proposition and called an election for
April % to vote on the question
"Shall the Home School Girls be AL
lowed to Attend the Public Schools ?
During the eight years we have
lived in Sank Centre no public cues
ton has caused so much discussion
as this proposition. 1t was apparent
from the start that the people of the
district would vote against the con-
tinuance of the plan of allowing the
girls to. attend school.
"a mass meeting practically filing
the Junior high school auditorium
was held Friday evening at which
Mayor Ingram presided, and it was
apparent that the people had theil
minds made up as TO the action they
would take the next day. -
The polls were open from 1000 a

In discussing the Sank Centre sit
uation the St. Cloud Journal-Pres
of Tuesday had the following to say
"After careful consideration Of thu
statements made by both sides of TIL
Sank Centre-Home School contro
versry, and the expression of so de
cided majority Of the men and wo
men of that city, it is to be assumed
that whether they were of the ma
jority or the minority, both wer
actuated largely by the same sens
of duty.
