cut through community areas sin

out innumerable radii.
Trucks carry blooded stock to
range f1ocks.
In due time fleets of trucks are
conveyed, bringing in the wool,
transferring it for its long haul to
the Atlantic seaboard. Railroads
again return it to us as manufactured
goods and the cycle is complete.
Bursting granaries spell prosperity
for the railroads. long haul to the

planting seasons, let the truck carry
the seed wheat, farm machinery, fuel,

agences supplement each other. The
long arc and the short arc dovetail,
and the transportation circle is COM
plete. They coalesce, not conflict.
"Within a mile of Erinboro town."
there run an old Roman road. The
sightseers' bus travels over the same
highway that re-echoei to the tread
of Roman soldiery. The work of
human hands two thousand years ago
is an instrument of human progress
today. The cost of such highways,
distributed over centuries fades into
insignifcance. Nevertheless it takes
something besides the enthusiasm
and energy of pseudo-efficiencJ
expert to build good roads. A good
road program can not be clapped
down upon a community like nicely
f1uted pie crust, presenting an at
tractive surface. Every dollars
worth of bonds must show dollars
worth of permanent improvement.
Posterity will help pay for the roads;
we must insure value received. Mil
lions have been spent by corporations
to improve railroads, millions will be
spent by corporations to build good
roads.
The agencies of transportation may
be likened to the circulation of the
blood. No matter what bright AFTER

pumps, unless the capillaries, the
Trunk lines, carry it to the finger
tips.
To the Motor Truck, the highest
exponent of good roads! To Good
Roads, the base for True Efficiency.

THOSE RAILROAD CROSSINGS

Some time ago the Herald took up
the matter of adequate railroad eros
sings in the city limits of Sank Cen
tire.
To our knowledge, nothing mater
ial has been done to date in the mat
ter, and Sank Centre people are still
taking chances whenever they cross
a railroad track.
There is not warning bell nor a
crossing gate in the city. 1t is true
that of recent years there have been
no accidents, but that is no excuse
for further delay in taking the pro-
per precautions to protect human
life.
Even the city Of St. Cloud is hav-
ing difficulties in securing proper
crossing protection.
With the community spirit now
alive here, and the Commercial Club
and other organizations working hard
in the interests of the city and vicin-
ity, an effort to secure proper rail
crossing protection ought to be in
accord with the advancement pro-
gram. ..

fell over dead after making delivery
of the second ball he threw. Death
was due to heart disease.
Mr.. Nelson was an ex-service man
and served as a corporal over seas.
Upon returning from the World War
he went to work at the court house
as deputy to Register Of Deeds Emil
S. Gahlon where he proved most
efficient deputy. He was married

Miss Ruth Reynolds of Alexandria,
Osakis Review.
Ferdinand Eveslage of st. Angus
ia, a brother of August Eveslage of
this city and for many years prom
inent farmer of Metre Grove, died
suddenly of heart failure Tuesday
afternoon. He was transacting bust
ness at the Zapp State Bank when
he dropped to the floor and died
within a few minutes.
A number of relatives from this
city left yesterday for ST., Cloud and
will remain there for the funeral
which will be held at the st. Augusta
Catholic church Friday morning.
Mr.. Eveslage was born in Germany
on March 81, 1856, and came to this
country at the age of rs years. Prior
to moving to st. Augusta, four years
ago, the deceased made his home at
Metre Grove and lived for two years
at Padua. Mr.. Eveslage has been
very successful farmer and has been
active in enterprises of the various
communities, where he made his
home.

band and father are his widow and
ten children. They are Mrs. Joseph

TRYING EN- OUT

Over in Wisconsin a new policy has
been adopted as test of the propos-
ed enforcement of the Blue Sunday
laws.
One of the Sunday features taboo
ed by the doctrine, is Sunday base
ball, and it is around this common
practice that the Badger state is
Ringing it's test cases.
The practice of curtailing the Sun
day spectacle of the national sport,
is universal all over the state. City
authorities are taking steps to en-
force the law by arresting the cap
tains of both teams and one spectator
at Sunday ball games. These per-
sons are then tried, and the result of
their trial governs the law enforce
ment, as we understand it.
The enforcement of this anti-base
ball Sunday practice by the city gov
ernments is met by taking the game
outside of the city limits.
So far as can be learned, this is
the only Sunday sport being curtail-
ed at present under the new Wis
consin test. Around this test hinges
the success or failure of the entire
program Of the Blue Sunday pro-
moters in that state.

in coal which is expected next fall"
That coal was greatly reduced in
price, but because of the freight
rates the price to the consumer had
hardly changed"
When this Sank Centre dealer cit
ed this situation in the coal market,
he put his finger on the pulse of
practically all local trade. 1t is not
only the coal which demands an un-
usually high freight toll-it is pract-
ically everything on the market of
the nation.
Just at present the nation is un-
dergoing a campaign for the "open
shop" Employers tell us that by
the way of the open shop only, can
production costs and eventually, liv-
ing costs, be reduced to normal. This
open shop plan is being launched in
many of the trade centers of the
country. 1t is meeting with opposi-
ton by the union labor, but the
unions of the country will never be
able to control the situation as a
whole. Wage cuts are being made
in all quarters; even the railroads
have adopted a wage cutting scale,
but so far as the public is concerned,
this cut has had no noticeable effect
upon the public as whole. Freight
and passenger rates are still hitting
the sky. There is no relief to the
consumer so far as the rail corpora
tons are permitted to charge their
unheard of rates fer traffic.
And unless this situation is cur
tailed, the freight rates and passen-
ger rates will remain unchanged. The
cost to the consumer will be just as
large as they were last winter but
values will have dropped rs or even
so per cent, and all because the rail-
roads are permitted to continue their
policy of "the Public be Damned"

SHIP OVER GOOD ROADS

Like curious children, the Indians
of the plains watched the building of
the first transcontinental railroad.
When the first engine breathing its
smoke and flame steamed down upon
them, they turned their ponies deads
and fled wildly, expecting to feel, at
every jump, it's hot breath on their
cheeks. But the monster never pur-
sued them over the trackless prairies.
1t had it's limitations then. 1t has
them now.
A more mobile kinsman Of the To-
connective demonstrates ability to
travel without steel rails, the tract
able truck. On the farm it is short
ening the distance to market, carry
ing twice the load in half the time
and eating only while it works.
Freight traffic everywhere is clog
ged. The present condition is choking
inductry-a menace to financial and
otherwise to the whole country.
Every year to some extent, freight
congestion recurs. The railroads
have no competitors for the long
haul, which justifies the short haul
at each end. Shall they compete for
the short haul, or advise the segrega-
ton of short haul traffic, and invoke
the aid of this rural express" for
the hundred mile runs Railroads

The citizens of the northwest are
watching with interest the war of
Americanism VS.. Socialism now being
wageG in Minneapolis in the mayor
atty campaign. Van Lear, mayor
during the early part of the war
period, reddest of the red, is asking
to be returned as chief executive of
the Flour City. Col. George Leach,
of the gallant 151st Field Artillery,
which made such splendid record
in France, was drafted as a candidate
for service by those who are vitality
interested in the development of
Minneapolis. If the voters realize
the Importance of this campaign Mr..
Leach will be elected by handsome
majority, but if there is as large a
stay-at-home vote as there was at
the primaries, he may be defeated.
Tho success of Van Lear at the polls
will be the cornerstone around which
Townley and other radicals will rally
in an endeavor to capture the state
two years hence

VOLUME FIFTY-FOUR

The Sank Centre Herald starts
volume fifty-four with this issue.
When ]. H. Simonton issued the
first CODY of the Herald or June 8,
1867, he established the most norm
westerly newspaper published this
side of the Rocky Mountains.
:. Fer fifty-three years the Herald has
labored for the advancement and up
building of this community. FROM
its establishment it has been recognl-
zed as one of the leading and depend
able weeklies in the North Star State
A number of other newspaper
ventures have been launched IN Sauk
Centre during the past fifty-three
wears but one after another gave up
the UNEQUAL fight. Mr.. Simonton
disposed of the Herald in August
1879. to Charles F. Hendryx VINO
continued it's publication until sep
TENDER, 1908 when Frank nj. hdov
became the publisher.
Mr.. Eddy was in Congress at tne
time and the publication OF the her
aid was largely in the hands OF Wm'
T. Henshaw. The latter gentleman
died shortly after Mr.. Eddy sold the
naner to A. M. Welles in April, 1917.
All of the publishers of the Herald
are still in the land Of the living
with the exception of its founder, D..
II. Simonton, who died in the latter
part of 1920.
Asa M. Wallace purchased the pro
pertv from A. M. Welles and TOOK
possession, Aug. 1, 1913, ana mas
been the active head Of the business
ever since.
During the over half century when
the Herald has served the people Oh
this community the business men
have been liberal with patronage
During the ffty-four years eacil
publisher has given the best there
was in him for the upbuilding OF the
community. ..-u:,,o
The Herald has not been intalllole
in the past and mistakes Will oe
made in the future, but the thought
uppermost in the mind of the pup
Usher at all times is "what IS pest
for Sank Centre and Community. H.
The general awakening OF com.
munitv spirit for the development OF
town and country is the most health
full sign coming under our observa-
ton since the present publisher took
over the Herald nearly nine years
ago. There is better feeling among
business men and farmers than for
a long time. Each is finding that the
other fellow is not bad sort, and If
this spirit is carried out, and the
Herald believes it will be, better
things are in store for Sank Centre
and community. The Herald desires
to have a part in this work of up
building and the columns are open at
all times to further any worthy pro
ject for community betterment.
