CUPID'S THRIVING BUSINESS

Little Dan Cupid claimed seven
more victims in Stearns county dur
ing the year 1920 than he did in
1919, according to the annual report
at the office of the marriage license
clerk in St. Cloud. In the year just
past, 575 licenses to marry were is
sued in the county, whereas in 1919,
the total number Of licenses issued
was 568. The license clerk does not
consider this increase to have been
due to 1920 being Leap Year. He is
modest fellow, and claims that all
prospective applicants looked "nat-
ural." With the falling off of en-
ployment the. business of the license
bureau has shown a drop in stocks.

5Oth Anniversary
Observed Last Week
Kandota Schools Have Interesting
4 Program on Occasion of
5Oth Birthday. ..

The 5Oth birthday anniversary Of
the establishment of School District
No. 81, in Birchdale and Kandota
townships, was fittingly celebrated
at the school house in that district
on the evening of January 3, Nth a
splendid program arranged under the
direction of the teacher, Miss Lii
liam Schaub, and attended by a large
company of the residents Of the VIC
unity and elsewhere. County Super
intendent DeLaurier was present and
to him The Leader is indebted for
the following interesting article con-
corning the schools history and the
program of Monday evening:
On Jan. 8, 1871 the county board
consisting of Albert Rhoda, chair
man, John Wait and H. F. Lashier,
adopted ai-Aaresolution forming the
district and designating it as No. II.
The first building was log struct-
ure with bark roof and puncheon
floor, erected near the eastern shore
of Sank Lake on the farm OF II. 5.
Doty. Later a frame building was
erected a half mile north of the pres
emit school. This frame building was
soon moved to the present site. A
few years ago the present brick
building was erected, and today the
school is one Of the most efficient
rural schools of it's class in the state.
The people of the district are un-
tied in their desire for an efficient
school and will not be satisfied with
less. The first teacher was Mrs. ID
mon, cultured and educated lady
The school for many years was
known as the Dimon school from the
active part taken by the Dimon fam
ily in affairs in those days in the
vicinity.
One of the pupils at the first term
of school was little girl of four
years named Emma Peters, and or
the occasion of this celebration, that
little girl, now Mrs. Emma Christen,
sen, of Sank Centre, was the first
sneaker of the evening. She held
the deepest interest of her hearers
as she told of her early recollections
of that school. She told how later
she completed her education in the
schools sof Sank Centre, and begar
her work as teachers and how just
prior TO her marriage, she com

pleted her work as teacher with a
term in District 81.
Superintendent DeLaurier was the
next speaker. He reviewed the or
ganization history and achievements
.of this school, which he was pleased
to regard as typical of the aspira-
lions as achievements of the common
schools of the land. He called at
tention to the great responsibility
placed upon the public schools in
training the boys and girls of this
generation to play their part in the
tremendous events which will be en-
acted on the worlds stage within the
next fifty years; that the men and
women who will make the future
history, and direct and guide affairs
of the land for the next fifty years
are now the boys and girls in school.
He believed that no great evil in our
national life could exeist beyond one
generation, if the children were
rightly taught on the subject.
Mrs. H. S. Doty, whose son was
one of the pupils in the first, school
in the district, told of the first
school entertainment given by Mrs.
Dimon's pupils, and recited a poem,
"My Mothers Bible" which had been
recited by one of the pupils at that
entertainment.
Mr.. H. L. Hamlin, of Long Pral-
RE, supplied fund Of Renaissance
which was much enjoyed. He was
with his father, who was one OF the
soldiers in the Indian stockade erect
ed at Sank Centre, to protect the
settlers during the Civil War. AS a
very small boy he played about the
stockade and in the soldiers bar
racks. At the close of the hostlht-
les, the Hamlin family settled at
Round Prairie, and as settlers were
not numerous, he was well acquaint-
ed with the origin and development
of this district.
The school has not seen more
successful year than the present una
der Miss Lillian Schaub. The school
board, composed of Ed Bosshardt, t.
"A. Pierson, and R. G. Penrose, are
also entitled to much praise for its
careful administration Long Pral-

funeral services Tuesday at the
Catholic church in West Union of

a contingent of 166 Todd county

ing France in June of that year he
was soon at the front and was killed
in action August H., 1918. The grief
that was felt among relatives and

this brave soldier was. consigned to
its resting place at the old home

age at the time he made the supreme
sacrifice to his country.-Osakis Re

Field Of Local Sport


of the high school teams in their
games with Swanville at Swanville
last Friday evening. In return for
the drubbing they got here, Coach
Morgan sent his second squad to
Swanville and that aggregation was
neatly trimmed to the tune of 10 to
8. Explaining the catastrophe, Mr..
Morgan called attention to the fact
that his men were playing upon a
strange floor and that the extremely
low ceiling in the Swanville gym
made scoring next to impossible for
the teams.
The girls team met second defeat
against the Swanville girls squad.
The score was similar to that in
their former contest, Swanville win
ming 7 to 6. Practically all of the
points were made from the floor in
the girls game, while in the boys
contest, most Of the scoring was
done by the locals in free throws.
Lady Luck, just pure, simple and
unadulterated good fortune was all
that saved the Machine Gun Company
from another drubbing last Friday
evening when they won from the
American Legion of Alexandria by a
score of "a to 20 in the Junior high
school auditorium.
The Alexandria boys came here
primed for action and their team
work far excelled any witnessed
here this season. They gave the To-
Gals run through the entire game
and made French do little sudden
shifting to win his game.
Sank Centre On the other hand did
not show their usual form. They
played a fast game, they had to, but
their team work was not up to the
mark.
Manager French, as a result OF
Fridays contest, has announced a
new practice program in an effort to
bring the bunch back to earth in time
for their game with the K. c. at St
Cloud Saturday night.
The Sank Centre high schools
second basket ball team will have
seven game schedule all their own,
according to Coach Morgan. This
team has heretofore been working
in conjunction with the first team
but under the new management, they
will paddle their own canoe in the
future. These games will be sched-
uled with teams in their own class
from the principal high schools in
this district.
Principal John Cuinlivan accom-
panied the high school first team to
.Osakis last Friday evening to wit
ness the Osakis-Melrose game In
which Melrose was defeated by 9
score of 80 to 9. The Melrose girls
team playing the same evening dc.

End Charity Drives
Asks Fund Expert

CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-Charles A.
Piez. chairman of the United States
Shipping Board during the war and
who has headed financial campaigns
in the Middle West, said today that
intensive drives for funds by char
liable organizations are at an end.
The public has been driven to
death" Piez said IF charitable
organizations are to exist, some
new method must be found for
raising money"
Piez pointed out that not only
does the public refuse to contribute,
but that it is next to impossible to
secure volunteer workers to solicit
funds.
Piez suggested that organizations
in the future appeal only to those
Interested in their work. He pro-
posed that those interested pledge
definite sum each year and that
public drives be eliminated.
