PAINTING Bee JUNE
l3AT FAIR GROUNDS.
DIRECTORS WISH TO KEEP THE
BUILDINGS IN BEST STATE A.
OF PRESERVATION
URGE EVERYONE TO HELP
BRING YOUR BRUSH AND PAIL
AND ASSIST. IN THIS EX-
CELLENT CAUSE

The directors of the Stearns Coun-
ty Fair at meeting held Monday
evening of this week, decided to have
a painting bee at the fair grounds
on Wednesday, June 18th. The co.
operation of every business man and
farmer in this locality is requested.
1t is the desire of the board to keep
the buildings and fence at the fair
grounds in the best state of preser-
walton possible, to cut down depre-
citation and cost of repairs, and thus
assist in the paying off of the pres
ent indebtedness. President Schoen-
hoff and secretary Dubois made the
following statement to the Herald:
.We need the assistance of every
available person The "bee" will be
held Wednesday, June Is, and we
request that workers report at the
fair grounds at 100 o'clock in the
afternoon of that day with paint
brushes, pals and stirring sticks so
that operations can be started inn
mediately. The fair board feels that
in justice to its stock holders, as we'll
as becase of its pride in the Stearns
County Fair Grounds, the buildings
should be kept well painted and in
good repair in every other way, A
"painting. bee" will save consider
able amount of expense and will help
in several ways to make it possible
for the association to liquidate its
present indebtedness. We believe
that everyone is interested in keep
ing the local fair grounds in first
class shape, and in assisting to make
it possible for us to not only keep up
the high standard the Stearns Coun--
ty Fair has set in the past but to
makesthis years fair bigger and bet
ter than ever. Everything is pro-
crossing satisfactorily at present and
we believe that good looking build
ings will add materially to the at
tractiveness of this years fair"
Bring your brush and pail to the
fair grounds at 100 o'clock next
Wednesday afternoon. Let's get in,
on the painting bee. +"

CYRIL VEEDER
DROWNED FRIDAY
Twelve Year-Old Son of Mrs. Minnie
Veeder Lost Life When He
Stepped OFF Ledge
WIDOWS YOUNGEST SON
NOLAN GILBERT RECOVERED
BODY-FUNERAL SERVICES
SUNDAY AFTERNOON

Cyril Veeder, youngest son of
Charles and Minnie Veeder, lost his
life by drowning in Sank Lake last
Friday, June 1st. He was member
of the 9Th grade in the Sank Centre
schools this year, and after the close
of the school year the usual picnic
was to be held on the afternoon of
Friday, June 1st.
Cyril, in company. with others was
taken to the tourist park on the
shores of Sank Lake, in cars, by
some of the parents, arriving there
before the teacher, Miss Bugbee, and
the rest of the pupils. The cars re-
turned to town before the teacher
and other pupils arrived and when
they reached the tourist park some of
the boys had donned bathing suits
and started to go in swimming.
/ We understand Cyril had been for
hidden to 60 in swimming my his
mother, but on his arrival in town
had borrowed bathing suit from one
of his friends and was one of the
first to go into the water. Plunging
in and running out from shore, he
stepped off from ledge and went
under, drowning before assistance
could reach him.
When it was learned that Cyril
was in danger, frantic efforts were
made to get assistance and in a short
time searchers were on the scene en-
deavoring to recover the body in
vain hope that he could be revived.
1t was quite time before he was
discovered and recovered by Nolan
Gilbert, having gone down and re-
manned in about the same spot where
he first disappeared from view.
The drop off at that point of the
lake is caused by the old river cham
mel and, since the drowning Friday,
we learn that it has been the scene
of near drownings on previous oc-
casions. When recovered it was too
late to resuscitate him cand his body
was taken to the Berggreen & Com
pany undertaking parlors.
Cyril Veeder was born Sept. 26,
1910, the son of Charles and Minnie
Yeeder, and wash IL years old at
the time of his death. He is survived
by his mother, two sisters, Fern and
Bessie, and four brothers: Howard,
Archie, Grant and Lyle, his father
having passed away Oct. 8, 1920.
The funeral services were held at
200 o'clock Sunday, June Bird, from
the family home, six miles south of
town, Rev. S. S. Wyand, conducting
funeral services. Burial was made in
Greenwood cemetery.
The passing Of Cyril Veeder was
severe shock to his family, his
teacher, his classmates, and the COM
munity as a whole. He is gone and
cannot be returned, but the lives OF
others can and would be protected
by the marking of this drop off eth
er by signs, or rope, because many
others visit this swimming place who
are not familiar with it and they
should be warned.e The bereaved
family have the most sincere sympa-
thy of the community in their loss.

Need for County Nurse
Being Demonstrated
Minnesota Public Health Assn. Sends
Miss Catherine Mckay to Educate
Along This Line

Miss Catherine Mckay, nurse, rep
resenting Minnesota Public Health
Association, is working in and around
Sank Centre this week. She has
been in Stearns county about a. month
and will remain three months long.
er. The work Miss Mckay is doing
in our county is Of an educational
natures, in an endeavor to promote a
very worthy cause, that of county
nurse. A majority of the counties
in Minnesota employ county nurse.
at the present time and Stearns
county had similar services for about
Ssyo and a half years under the
auspices of the Red Cross, Miss Ba-
Gus of Cold Springs being the nurse
employed. Red Cross funds are,
depleted, however, and this work
was discontinued about year ago.
The Minnesota Public Health Assoc
citation is supported by the seal sale,
and their main work is the distribu-
ton of free literature in regard to
public health. DIR. Lochead who. lec-a
tured here some time ago is one of
their field representatives. The baby
clinics which have been held over the
state are also under their auspices.
This association has nothing to do
with the employing of a county nurse
as this is handled by the county COM
missioners. The association, how
ever, realizes the need for these
county nurses and believes the work
of education as regards this need,
worthy Of their support. Therefore,
Miss Mckay has been sent into this
county to do missionary work along
this line. Early this week Miss Nc
Kay met with the Progressive Farm
ers' Club at their club rooms three
miles south of town and was enthus-
iastically received. The school nurs-
es do a vast amount of good and the
object of a county nurse is to take
up the work where the school nurse
leaves off, namely, the care of chill
dren Of pre-school age, and persons
too old to be in school. That this
attention Is necessary to children of
pre-schooll age is proven by the fact
that at the present time it is said
355 children of this age die every day
in. the United States not through
neglect, but through lack of know
ledge Of their proper care. It is
estimated that this work would cost
the county approximately $4,000 per
year, and it is hoped that the peo-
pie will interest themselves In this
cause and urge their county commits
sioners to take favorable action up
on the county nurse proposition at
the July meeting.

that they would play fair with the
other parts of the county and pave
the road between Sank Centre and
Freeport.
The western end of the county does
not intend to stand for these high
handed methods and will not be inn
posed upon as they have been in the
past. They will agree to the paving
going by way of Waite Park to st.
Joe but they will fight to the last
ditch if the western end of the coun-
ty is not given recognition and SER
vice by paving the road from Sank
Centre east to Freeport.

point, and the election will be oper-

The defeat of the Governor at this

means he will be permanently placed
in the political discard after the close

THE very mention of the name
Smith always took me back to the

made for us. I never saw better
pitching than Smith put on display
in that series.
II was, and am convinced, that no
pitcher as good as Smith was in 1920,
could be ready for the minors two
years later. I refused to waive on
Smith on the form he showed in the
big series and I feel that ] made
wise move.
Smith is going to work regularly

He has plenty of stuff, but best of all
has control, fault so prevalent with
