GOOD ROADS DELEGATION

Last week Governor J. o. Preus
selected 48 delegates for Minnesota to
attend the National Highway conven-
ton at Greening, S. G. April 18th to

Asa M. Wallace of the Herald were
selected from Sank Centre. Due to
the fact that the appointment does
not carry any expense money and it is
a long walk to Greening over bum
highways the convention will have to
worry along without the presence of
the Sank Centre delegates.

Has an Indian a Sense of
Honor? See "Strongheart"
Senior Class Play Will Be Presented
at Junior High School Auditor
ium April 9th

If you wish to know, be sure to
take in "Strongheart" which the Sen
Tor Class will present on Friday eve
ming, April 9th. | -
Primarily, we wish to alter the i'm
preston which some of the public have
that "Strongheart" is the same play
or companion play to the one which
was presented here by stock com
pany some time ago. The impression
is mistaken one, because of the fact
that the two plays were not written
by the same author.
The cast is very we'll chosen and
the members are playing up to their
parts in splendid manner under the
direction of Mrs. Richards. Ted
Lewis is the hero, Strongheart, and he
is taking the part with exceptional
skill.
The play consists of four acts, and
it differs from those which are ordi-
narily given here, in that, it Is a
tragedy. 1t S difficult to play but the
cast is working very faithfully and
are obtaining excellent results.
Strongheart is the son of an Indian
chief and is sent by the tribe to Co
lumbia University to learn the white
mans ways for the purpose of COM
ing back and teaching his people.
While at the university he becomes a
football star. During one of the big
gest games it is founded at Columbia's
signals have been sent to the oppos-
ing team. Strongheart shows great
strength of character by assuming
guilt to protect one Of his classmates
from shame. He later. falls in love
with white girl. After she has be-
come engaged to him, Black Eagle, a
chief from his tribe, comes and tells
him that his father has died and that
he must return to his people to keep
them from starvation. Strongheart
decides to go and take his sweetheart
with him, to which she agrees. Black
Eagle objects to this quite seriously
and declares that Strongheart must
choose an Indian wife. After great
struggle within himself, Strongheart
decides to give up the girl of his love,
and to go back to aid his fellow men;
which shows again, his great strength

lower freight rates for the farmers.
y meeting Of progressive leaders
has been called for today at the
office of Senator Borah. Senator
Brookhart probably will be in
charge.
The progressives are not fully
prepared for .the showdown. They
planned to let matters drift along
for a few weeks so they could get
things lined up before the big as
sault on the republicans. But the
way was opened for them when
Senator Cummins refused to resign

BERLIN, Nov. 28.--Germany has

-, Adam Stegerwald, born in -Bavar-

Stegerwald s summons to the

war seen since 1918.
Thousands of laborers, among
them possibly many communists,
did attempt to enter the Lustgarten
but were prevented by the police,

All They Ne ed
Do Is Change
Their Registry
by United Press Leased Wire

HALIFAX, n. s., Nov. 2S.-Ev-
cry time the prohibition enforce
ment officials figure out a new way
to stop the rum runners, the latter
furnish something else to figure on.
The Anglo-American agreement,
if one is reached, to permit seizure
of liquor smugglers outside the three
mile limit, will not worry the rum
runners, they said. The proposed
agreement would apply to vessels
flying the British flag. All the
smugglers will have to do, according
to local shippers who know their
ways, is to change the registry of
their vessels to French, Brazilian,
Argentine, Panamanian or something
else.
Most liquor smugglers are declar-
ed to be Americans who have
bought or chartered British ships
under dummy companies.

FINGERPRINTS
AGAIN PROVE
THEIR VALUE

Once again the fingerprint sys.
tenn in use in the FL Centre police
department has proved its value in
placing criminals where they be-
long, this time the case being that
of Harley O'Hara, who was recent
ly sentenced in the local police
court to serve 60 days in Jail for
vagrancy.
O'Hara was picked up by Officer
Schlanze, while the former was
trying to dispose of brand new
pair of shoes for $500. The police
believed the shoes had been stolen,
and this belief became a certain
ty when it was ascertained that
they had undoubtedly been stolen
from freight shipment, as there
were no store marks on them, nor
were the shoes mates. As no one
was found to identify the shoes as
his property, O'Hara was "vag,
ged.'
Schlanze took his fingerprints,
however, and sent copy of them
to coast police departments. This
morning reply was received from
San Diego, identifying O'Hara as
former inmate of San Quentin
prison. where he was sentenced to
serve five years in 1917, for destroy
ing Jail property in Imperial Coun-
ty. Following his discharge from
prison, he was later arrested in Los
Angeles and Bakersfield, the
charge against him in the latter
place being freight car robbery. 1t
awas' impossible to convict him on
this charge and he was released.
The information that O'Hara is
in the county Jail and copy of
His record will be furnished to coast
police departments, as it is believ-
ed he may be wanted in some other
city.

IS RESPONSIBLE
Unusual Traits Shown by
Girl Since Her
Childhood
Double Role Is PuZZling
to Many Prominent
Physicians
by United 'siesa Leased Wire

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Nov.
2S.-Unfolding one of the strangest
eases of dual mentality ever reveal
ed, authorities here today announced
that the is year old daughter of
one of Santa Barbara S wealthiest
families Monday sent fake death
messages to many prominent people
in this city and Montecito.
Police and victims of the hoax re-
fused, after the girl s mother had
called Them in, to reveal the girl 8
identity.
A very clever poet, the child 8
verses have been read at many ex-
elusive teas. Other writer's have
pronounced her work excellent,
showing a mental development be-
yond her age.
For years the girls mother has
noted and been puzzled by her peeu-
liar brain quirks, officers were told.
At times the child would forecast
occurrences which were always
borne out, while on many occasions
she has read the minds of those
about her, telling them their inner
most thoughts, as easily as though
she were reading from book.
Yesterday morning, following an
nouncement of the fake death mes
sages which left the city in tur-
rpoil of excitement, the mother, sus-
pecting The girl, questioned her.
The youngster readily confessed that
she had sent out the false reports,
end said shes didn't have any par
ticular reason for doing so, and
didn t know WHY she had.
Physicians Interested
A conference was held today over
the girl $ condition, many prominent
physicians becoming interested i'll
the strange case. She demonstrated
to the amazement of the scientists
and others ga-fered around her i'll
the strange clinic that she possesses
unusual occult powers.
Authorities announced that no ar
rest had been planned i'll the ease.
The messages which the girl dis
patched to prominent winter resi-
dents Of the city told of death and
illness to relatives in various sec
tions of the county. In practically
every instance, she had the names
and addresses correct, giving the
messages and credibility which
brought temporary sadness and
grief into many homes.
