'The large centers taking that
liberal stand" said Mr.. Babcock "the
other parts of Minnesota cannot afford
a don't-want-your-help attitude. Their
members in the legislature when they
correctly understand the plans will
make the most of the present advant-
age, knowing that every dollar used
on the trunk highways bring nearer
the improvement of every part of the
system. And that accomplished, Min
nesota will go toward with a highway
program which will attract national
attention despite the bigger bond and
other funds available in some states. y
The highway commissioner repeated
that once correctly understood the
highway proposals have claimed un-
iversal support and attributed to this
his confidence that Legislative action
will be favorable.

BRAINERD HOME ROBBED

Friends of DR.. and Mrs. r. A. Beise
of Brainerd will be sorry to hear that
their home was robbed on Sunday,
while the Beise family were spending
the holidays in st. Louis. Two storm
windows were taken off by the
thieves, who then gave up the idea
of gaining entrance that way, and in
stead used skeleton key on the
basement door. The bed chambers and
living rooms were ransacked and it is
believed much personal property tax
en-. Bureau drawers were emptied and
their contents scattered on the floor
showing systematic search for valu-
ables. In Miss Ruth Beise's room
several jewel cases were emptied and
thrown to one side. A telegram was
sent to DR.. Beise."- Brainerd Dis
patch.
The Herald understands that Mrs.
Beise was former Sank Centre resi-
dent, being a daughter of the late
Henry Keller.

as we stop bit and look backward we
can see that very considerable ground
has been gained by the great majority
and we can enter the New Year with
renewed hope and with that courage
which comes from the realization that
we are really making progress.
A year ago, when speaking OF the
prospects for farming in 1922, l said
that while there was no reason to ex-
pect boom times for the farmer in the
near future, there was promise OF bet
ter times, both for the farmer and
for those whose business is largely
dependent upon him. The year has
brought fulfillment of that promise.
Speaking generally, times are better
much better, than year ago, both for
agriculture and for industry.
Crops have been good, on the whole.
Prices of the major crops are mostly
considerably higher. While there has
been a corresponding advance in the
prices of the things the farmer must
buy. the total sum which farmers will
receive for the crops of this year is
greater by billion and half dollars
or more than that which they received
for the crops of last year. This will
cerainly mean better times on the
farm, and farm folks will be able to
ease up little on the grinding econ
omy thew were forced to practice the
preceding year.
The labor cost of producing the
crops of 1922 was still further re-
duced. There were some substantial
reductions in freight rates. Much help
full legislation has been enacted and
more will be this winter. Interest
rates are lower and the credit strain
has been eased. This has made it pos
sible for many farmers who were
rather heavily involved to refunc
their obligations and get themselves
in condition to win through.
There are still some dark spots. lr
some sections weather conditions were
unfavorable and crops were short
farmers in these sections are having
a very hard time of it. Freight rates
are still too high, especially for those
who must pay for a long haul tt
market.
Taxes are high, but this is largel!
ue to the increase in local taxes, ov'
which farmers themselves must exer
else control.
There has been gratifying growtl
in farmers cooperative marketing
associations, and more of them ar
being organized on sound bushes
basis.
Aside from the help which has bee
given by legislation and by admisin
tration activities, strong economic for
ces are at work to restore a NOR
normal relation between agricultur
and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de
+. preston is more keenly realized b
other groups than ever before, and O
every hand a sincere desire is bein
evidenced. to do what can be done safe
ly to help the farmer better hi
condition.
Everything considered, we hav
good reason to expect still bette
things for agriculture in the year 1872;

Recipe for a Happy Life.

Three ounces are necessary, first of
patience, then of repose and peace
of conscience a pound entire is need
full; of pastimes of all sorts, too,
should be gathered as much as the
hand can hold; of pleasant memory
and of hope three good drachms there
must be at least. But they should be
moistened with a liquor made from
true pleasures which rejoice the
heart. Then of loves magic drops, a
lew-but use them sparingly, for they
may bring flame which naught but
tears can drown. Grind the whole
and mix Herewith of merriment an
ounce to even. Yet all this may not
bring happiness except in your orr
sons you lift your voice to Him who
holds the gift of health.-Margaret

Sank Centre Legion Basket
Ball Team Reorganized
All Old Stars Back in Lineup Alex.
andria Defeated Tuesday Evening
26 to 10

The Sank Centre American Legion
Basket ball team has succeeded the
Machine Gunners team, and the
management of the organization was
turned over Sunday to John o. French.
Late Sunday evening Mr.. French had
game booked for Tuesday night at
the High School auditorium between
the Sank Centre Legionaires and the
Legionaires of Alexandria. The per-
sonnet of the Sank Centre team is
practically the same as last years
with the addition of Lawrence Dol
son, employed at the local branch of
Swift & Company. The old stars are
Donald Hanson and Lloyd Tanner,
forwards; Frank O'Gara, center; A.
A. Gales, Dewey O'Gara and Paul
Caughren, guards.
| At Tuesday evenings game Alex
had Is men in uniform and they
worked in relays in an endeavor to
stop the Sank Centre scorcing ma
chine. At various times during the
game the Sank Centre quint opened up
a series of short passes that COM
pletely bewildered the visitors. The
final score was 26 to 10 in favor of
Sank Centre.
Coach Reese of the Alexandra
High School, famous for the foot ball
teams he has turned out in the past
two years, got in the game for g
time in an endeavor to stop Tanner
In Alexandria, Reese is considered g
regular basket ball player but he was
no more successful in stopping Sauk
Centres fleet forward than had beer
his successors. Donald Hanson is
also feared by all visiting teams anc
he was covered by at least two mer
most of the time.
Sank Centre will go to Alexandra
to play a return game on Friday
evening, and the possibilities are thai
on a strange floor the game will be
much closer, and they will be luck.
if they win.
Manager French has booked a game
for New Years night with the Legior
team of Wadena. This organization
has been cleaning up" in their i'm
mediate vicinity and they are coming
to Sank Centre in high hopes Of ad
ding another scalp to their belt. The!
may win, but if they do they vii
realize that they have been in rea
game of basket ball.
Although advertised for less thai
SO hours, Tuesdays game was wit
messed by splendid audience, tn,
gate receipts being nearly 500. Thu
Herald understands it is the intention
of Manager French to book nothing
but teams who are capable of giving
the local aggregation a real argu
ment.

Otter Hunting in England.

Hunting the otter is still considered
excellent sport, notably in the west Of
England, in Wales and in the Lake
district. Yet more than 100 years
ago its degeneracy as compared with
fox and hare hunting was limited at
by sporting scribes. 1t is on record
that In 1896 four offers were killed
in the river near Bridgnorth, "their
hearts being eaten by many respect
able people who attended the hunt,
and allowed to be very delicious; the
carcasses were also eaten by the men
employed, and found to be excellent"
Happily the pursuit of Lutra vulgaris
is not nowadays conducted with a view
to providing questionable delicacy
for the table, but it is regarded as
healthy pastime, which encourages an
interesting breed of British hounds

Personal Factor in Sleep.

1t is obvious that persons engaged
in heavy manual toll during the day.
their nervous systems being loaded
with fatigue products which act to
some extent as toxins, will require
more sleep at night than those at the
other extreme who have been merely
engaged in killing time with the least
possible expenditure Of physical OF
mental energy. Hence the impossi-
bility of laying down any general rule
with regard to the hours Of sleep fol-
adults. The personal factor is such
q dominant one.

Libraries,

The word library is taken from the
Latin word "liber," book. The old
est library of which any record is
available was discovered in Assyria a
few years ago and consists of Baby
lonian books inscribed on clay tablets,
supposed to have been prepared fer
public instruction about $50 B. G. 1t
is said that Pisistratus founded IL
brary at Athens about 537 B. c., al
though there is no clear evidence of
the fact. Strabo says that Aristotle
was the first known collector of Ii
brary, which he bequeathed to Theo-
phratus 322 B. c., and this library at
length found it's way to Rome.

How to Make Tobacco
Yield Steady Returns

The man who makes money grow
ing tobacco is the one who grows
it every year and studies closely
how to improve the quality, says
a Southern Railway bulletin.
during the past two years there
has been produced more than the
usual proportion Of low grades,
which has caused a low average
price, while the better grades have
been selling at premium.
If your land is suited to growing
tobacco, a few acres grown every
year will yield larger returns than
any other crop.
Experience has proven that the
early planting produces the best
quality. One thousand pounds of
fertilizer per acre, containing s per
cent phosphoric acid, 8 per cent am
monia, and 5 per cent sudphate of
potash will generally give best re-
suits.
Prepare for more plants than will
be needed, SO that only the best of
a uniform size may be used. Secure
a uniform stand, properly spaced.
Keep off worms by spraying. Take
off suckers once every seven days,
or oftener if necessary, and allow
the leaves to get thoroughly ripe
before housing.
If you do not know how to cure
it, get some experienced grower to
show you. If cured and graded
properly and placed on the marke;
in good condition, it will be your
most profitable crop. Grow no more
than you can properly handle.

DANCE FAD STRIKES
TURKISH CAPITAL

CONSTANTINOPLE.- CONSTANT
NOBLE is dancing mad. The meeting
of nations, always a feature Of this
city and intensified of late, has re-
solved itself into an international
dancing congress. Poverty, over
crowding despair, all the griefs of
the refugees, no matter if they fled
from Renal, Lenin, Persian hordes
or fiercest Kurds, have found express
sion and perhaps solace, in an orgy
of dancing. The dancing master in
this most ancient and strange city of
thousand mosques and nearly as
many Municipalities has suddenly be-
come rich-far richer than the aver.
age Pasha ad almost as wealthy as
the dentists, the cab driver and the
man who carries ones baggage to a
hotel.
No other city has such variety
of dances. Each nationality repre-
scented by refugees has it's dances,
and as soon as the light fades from
the top OF the minarets the city
dances in Armenian, in Georgian, in
Greek, in Turkish sometimes, but
not often, in American and in
French.
American dances please little in
this edge of Asia. They are not color
full enough. The favorities for the
moment are the dances the Russian
refugees have brc-- .~,s, the Cossacks
especially-dances of the steppes,
where the dancers, men and women,
beat time by stamping on the ground
with their high boots of scarlel
leather.
But the Cossack has now a danger
Gus rival in the Chaldean dance, the
latest thing from the depths of Asia
Minor. 1t is more like the tango
than anything else, but more com
plicated, with an odd hip movement
supposed to help make the many
miles covered by the dancers during
the evening. In the Pera quarter
given over to strangers and there
fore to the refugees, the dancers
who generally go on for ten hours at
a time, do about Twenty-Five miles
a night. j..
