NEW USE FOR AUTOS

The sweet girl graduate and her
callow brother, upon finishing their
high school course, pick out suitable
class motto as their guide post in the
years to come. One of these over
worked mottos has been, Glitch your
Wagon to Star" 1t was very clear
" demonstrated on 18th Street near
the First State Bank last Thursday
morning that it was not particularly
difficult to Glitch your wagon to a
Star" especially if there were no
hitching posts near by. A farmer
driving to town with his team, used
Ben Dubois nice new Star automo-
bile as hitching post.
Ben has long been insistent that
hitching posts were absolutely neces-
sary on 4th street to accommodate
the few remaining farmers who drive
their teams to town and he claims
that the demonstration last Thursday
morning proves his contention.

JUNIOR CLASS PLAY
A FINE PRODUCTION
SAUK CENTRE PUBLIC SCHOOL
STUDENTS PLEASE A VERY
LARGE AUDIENCE
KIDDIES In DAINTY ACT
CAST INDIVIDUALLY AND COL
LECTIVELY DEVELOP UNUS-
UAL HISTRONIC ABILITY

The students of the Sank Centre
Public school scored another success
Thursday evening of last week when
''The Charm School," very clever
American comedy, was presented by
the Junior class under the direction
of Mrs. Enid Richards. As originally
written, "The Charm School" appear
ed in short story form in the Satur-
day Evening Post, and it was later
dramatized and also filmed with
Wallace Reid as the star. 1t was a
pretentious undertaking for amateurs
to take on but Mrs. Richards used
splendid judgment in the selection
of the cast and it's portrayal was Of
an unusually high order.
The story has to do with the inherit
ing of a girls boarding school by a
young automobile salesman, Austin
Bevans, portrayed by Harry Palmer.
The success or fairure of the produc-
ton revolved around the manner in
which Bevans was handled; in fact,
all the other characters of the play
were feeders" to Bevans. Young
Palmer was equal to the occasion.
The Herald will not make any at
tempt to take up each individual part
as the adjectives at the command of
the writer are somewhat limited,
making it impossible to do each one
justice, as the entire supporting COM
pany were all that could be desired.
The stage settings were in good
taste and added much to the effect
ivness of the production. Between
the second and third acts, Mrs.
Richards was called to the stage and
presented with a beautiful bouquet
Of roses by the Junior Class as a
slight token of their appreciation of
her efforts to make their annual class
offering success.
The vocal selections of the girls
of the boarding school in the second
act, led by Miss Octavia MacNamara,
accompanied by Miss MERGED Bishop
at the piano, were enjoyable features
Of the entertainment.
The printed program stated that
the Senior High School Glee, club
would sing, between acts, but these
numbers were changed to the Junior
High school Glee Club who first sang,
"a Sailor Song" and for the encore
"Cousin Jebediah" under the direc-
ton of Miss Dorothy Scott musical
director of the school, with Miss Mar
gurite Wyatt at the piano.
Between the first and second acts,
SEA Box of japanese Dolls" represent
ed by Rosamund Parker, June Arndt,
Grace Larson, Ruth Austin, Nancy
Jane Wedge, Glenaire Key, Dorothy
Dobbs, Mildred LeSeur, Dorothy Irish,
Della Lane, JANET Steiner, Adelia
Henningsgar, and lila Hardin with
appropriate costumes. This act was
as dainty as it was enjoyable. This
speciality was also under the direction
of Miss Scott with Miss Dorothy Bug
bee at the piano. The piano solo by
Miss Evelyn Kusba was a clever rem
dation of a difficult selection.

Magnus And Lodge Meet

nesota Senator

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
Magnus Johnson of Minnesota, plain
farmer, and Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge of Massachusetts,, New Eng
land aristocrat, met for the first time
today. No blows were exchanged nor
were there any heated words.
The introduction of the Minnesota
senator to the Massachusetts senator
was made by Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah. Smoot is genial, and he made
it point to meet Senator Johnson
and take him to Senator Lodges Of
flee. The three remained together
probably 15 minutes.
At the conclusion of the visit, Sen
ator Johnson did not use the term,
Henry Cabot" which was the way
he referred to Senator Lodge in his
campaign speeches and private utter
ances prior to his election.
"Mr. Lodge is a pretty nice Teller,
said Senator Johnson. $50 is Smoot.
In fact, all the fellers have met here
are pretty nice"
Senator Henrik Shipstead did some
department. work today but he said he
hadn't really started his senatorial
life as yet.

Examiner Viegel of Minnesota and
the latter part of last week President
Spieker Of Melrose and Metre Grove
banks went TO st. Paul and went
over the entire situation with the
Minnesota Banking Department, and
the decision was arrived at that the
best interest of all would be con-
served by closing the banks. Con-
sequently they did not open for bus
mess Monday morning.
"-
There is no question but what the
tying up of nearly $1,300,000 of de-
posits even for a few months, will
seriously cripple an otherwise pros
porous community. The Melrose bus
mess men particularly, have had
more than their share of trouble, in
the past few months. The division
was removed from Melrose to st.
Cloud by the Great Northern rail-
road about October first taking about
$50 families from the community, and
the failure of the Security State
Bank in Melrose, tying up vast sums
of the business mems money, makes
their outlook for Thanksgiving any
things but cheerful.

The heaviest season of the year
for the dispatch and receiving of mail
at postoffices is rapidly approaching.
Postmaster j. A. Schoenhoff has re-
quested the Herald to. urge the pa
irons of the Sank Centre postoffice
to mail their Christmas packages as
early as possible. Care should be
taken that all packages are plainly
addressed and securely wrapped. The
government desires to give the best
possible service in the transmission of
the Christmas business and this can
only be accomplished by the cooper
alton of all.

LOCAL SPORTS FALL
FOR PRACTICAL JOKE

The duck season in this To-
cality was very likely offici-
ally closed last Thursday
afternoon. About 200 o'clock
during the snowstorm. a tele-
phone call came into the
First State Bank from Fairy
Lake stating that the lake was
literally covered with ducks
and there were also at least a
thousand geese keeping them
company. The telephone call
almost indicated that the
people of that vicinity were
fearful the ducks might at
tack them and this clarion call
for help was promptly re-
sponed to by DIR. Julian F.
Dubois and brother Ben,
Gus Otto, S. p. Hansen, Jr.
and DR.. Russell Cooper. The
az mile drive to Fairy Lake
was made as fast as the Liz
zies could take them, and
what did the rescuers find
one measly little teal duck out
in the middle of the lake too
far away to get at.
1t dawned on the hunters
eventually that somebody had
been stringing them. They
They are not quite sure who,
but the finger of suspicion
points to Mark Maitland.

cussed for trusting, mistrusted for

BOY HAS LEFT HOME

s. Capkey, of Little Sank, is looking
for his son, Walter, who left home
the first of the week. Mr.. Capkey
thinks the boy might have started for
Iowa, as he said something about the
good wages that were being paid the
corn huskers down there. When he
left home he wore brown checked
mackinaw, mackinaw cap, overalls
and work shoes. He is slight of sta

FRESHIES WIN GAM
OF BASEBALL FROM
FACULTY PLAYERS

Friday was the scene of a hard
fought game of Baseball between
the Freshies, and the Faculty
and Janitors of the two schools.
The game was>a hard fought
one from start to finish but the
Z Efcshies seemed to be a little too
much for the Faculty and Jani-
tors, as the score came out six to
five in their favor
The Faculty and Janitors have
played three other games, beat
ing the Sophmores, Juniors, and
Seniors, so this gives the Fresh
les the crown of Baseball Kings

PARENT TEACHERS
HOLD MEETING in
BEHALF OF CLEANUP

At a meeting at the Parent
Teacher association Monday eve
ming it was determined to make
Snowflake a fiyIess town this
summer. We have already had
a town clean up but this is not
enough. To prevent the winter
fly from Matching, all breeding
places must be thoroughly clean
ed up now before the warm spring
days comes. Every fly left now
means thousands next summer.
Prof. Haywood lectured showing
microscopic pictures of the fly,
also sanitary and unsanitary out
buildings and conditions under
which the fly can thrive.
1t was decided to visit all those
who have not observed the clean
up and ask them again to do so,
then if they do not, to have it
done and make them pay the cost
of the work.
1t seems to us that this is very
fair and leaves no excuse why
any place should not be thorough
ly cleaned.
Eliminate the fifth burn all
trash and swat the fly, should be
our slogan. Snowflake Dill be a
fyless town.
