Walter Mails is going back to

and his "million-dollar" arm

Cleveland in the memorable race
for the flag three seasons ago.
He was easily the sensation of

The most severe storm of the sea-

ming about 9 o'clock in veritable
cloud burst which lasted for about
twenty minutes. AS far as the Her
aid has been able to ascertain aside
from the razing of few silos no
damage was done in this immediate
vicinity.
Other parts of Stearns County. did
not fare so well, particularly that
territory between Richmond and
Paynesville. Several garages and
sheds were blown down in the
village of Richmond, trees were up
rooted and telephone poles broken
but there was no personal injuries.
Three barns in the vicinity OF st.
Nicholas belonging to John Botz,
Henry Botz and Jos Keuchle was
struck by lightning and burned.
In the village of Paynesville one OF
the chapels at a cemetery was
picked up and hurled $50 feet and de-
molished. A large barn in the edge
of the village was also. totally de-
stroyed.

FEAT MACHINE GUNNERS
OF SAUK CENTRE

In spite of the rain that continued
during the entire forenoon of Thurs
day OF last week the Community Pic.
mic put on under the auspices of the
Sank Lake Cooperative Creamery
assisted by the Sauk Centre CONNER
cial Club, was decided success.
Shortly before noon those in charge
notified the Herald that the picnic
mad been postponed, for one week and
asked US to notify the public to this
effect. Shortly after one o'clock a
telephone message stated that there
were already $50 cars on the ground
and that the picnic would be carried
on as first intended. AS indicative
of the size of the crowd los gallons
of ice cream was given away at the
outing.
1t was impossible for Mr.. Eckles
Of University Farm to be present and
make the advertised address but the
visitors were cordially welcomed by
L.. l.. Kells, President of the Com
mercial Club. Because of the late
ness Of the hour and the muddy con-
dition of the roads the various races
were called off but the ball game be-
tween the Farmers Progressive Club
team and the Machine Gunners of
Sank Centre, was a worth while at
traction. The indicator was handled
by Bert Bonner and John Wolf and
they did a fairly good job in this dis
agreeable position.
The teams lined US as follows:
Machine Gunners-Scott, catcher;
Crickmer, P; Cooper, / B; Hansen, 2
B; Tanner, SIS; Caughren, 8 B; Win

The contest was good natured one
and the Machine Gunners started off
like a whirl wind but the farmer lads
kept plugging away and finally over
hauled the lead, victory porching on
their banner at the end of the game
by an eleven to eight score. There
was much bad and some good base
ball playing. There is enough mater
ial in the two teams to make high
grade aggregation to place Sank Cen
ire on the diamond.
A large majority of the town folks,
as well as all the farmers were root
ing for the country lads to win.
The following is the score by in
nings:

The outing closed with a big free
dance at Dreamland Pavilion. Over

very orderly, jolly party.

Twenty-Five Firms Bid
on Contract to Rebuild
City Water Works System

Twenty-Five different firms were
competing for the various contracts
for the rebuilding of the Sank Cen
tire water works system when the
bids were opened by the Water, Light
and Power Commission at the Sank
Centre Commercial Club rooms Fri
day afternoon, June 9th.
In view of the fact that labor, iron,
cement and other materials necessary
for the construction of the mains,
reservoir, stand pipe and well, is ma
terially cheaper than they were
twelve months ago, it was confident
ly expected that the entire system
would be built as originally planned
at a price within the 100000 bond
issue voted by the citizens few
months ago. From present indica-
tions the work can only be complet-
ed within the amount at the disposal
Of the Water, Light and Power Com.
mission by leaving a portion of the
present mains doing good service
and not tearing them all out as was
first intended.
Some of the contractors made bids
on the entire system from wells, re.
servoir, mains, service connections
and water tower. Others only bic
on certain parts of the items speci'
fed.
There was spread of about $1800l
between the low and high bidder fol
the construction of the pipe distri'
button system. The successful bid
der was over 100000 below his near.
est competitor. l.. Goldstein, St.

sion had hoped that it might not be
necessary to build the reservoir but
Engineer Wolf was strongly opposed
to dispensing with it and in lengthy
and detailed explanation to the
board showed how it would be i'm
practical and would affect the efficien-
cy Of the system to depend upon the
wells for the supply without the re-
servoir.
The Minneapolis Steel and Machin-
cry Company were low bidders on the
water tower, their bid being ST. 100000
even. However, the contract for the
tower, as well 90 tins pSmping plant
building, and pumping machines have
not been let as yet but have been left

SUCCESSOR IS NOT NAMED
BOARD OF CONTROL SEARCH
ING FOR SUITABLE INSYI-
TUITION EXECUTIVE

Mrs. Fannie French Morse, Super
intendent of the Home. School for
Girls since it's establishment dozen
years ago, has rendered her resigna-
ton to the Minnesota Board of Con-
troll and has asked to be released from
her duties by July first, if possible.
Mrs. Morse came to Minnesota from
Massachusetts following the enact
ment Of the law by the Minnesota
Legislature segregating the boys and
girls at the Red Wing institution
The lady is a recognized authority
on the delinquent girl and for several
years the larger institutions OF the
east have been offering every possible
inducement to get Mrs. Morse to re-
linauish her work in Minnesota TO
take charge of their institution. She
had an elaborate plan of development
outlined in Minnesota and was reluc-
tant to relinquish her association
with Minnesota until she could work
out the ideas in which she was given
a free range by the Board OF Control
as far as the, legislative approprla-
ton would permit.
Mrs. Morse has been elected as SUI
perintendent of similar institution
now being recognized at Washing
ton. D. G. This school has on: its
board of directors some of the most
prominent women of the country
among them being Mrs. Harding, wife
of The President of the United States
The offer made to Mrs. Morse was
so advantageous that she could not
afford to reject it. 1t will not be easy
for the Board of Control to find wo.
man of the calibre Of the present su'
perintendent to take over the work a:
chief executive of the Home School
The Herald understands that they
are securing the country in order t.
find the best person available for hel
place.
