AROUND THE CITY
By Mamie Lancaster.

her wise woman, since fools new
er do.
X * r !:
TT isn't good idea to know more
than our share, though naturally
We want ever-increasing knowledge,
as ship wants a switfer record, the
airplane greater altitude and man,
generally. higher development
than his forebears ever dreamed Of
Also. We know that self-satisfied at
tainment means rust. and that rust
means failure, and that, nationally,
we know no such word as fail-still
and all--it isn't healthy to know
more than the law allows.
For one case, woman in car
was providing thrills for woman
next and whoever else was near
enough to listen-and, of course,
everybody listens on a street car.
Through some inscrutable source of
information she had learned that the
world is coming to an end on Sep
tember 12-Mars being the william to
do the deed. with Defense day as an
appropriate occasion. The other
woman had her doubts.
The bearer of news was so sure or
her signs that she was on her way to
| cash her bond and take her savings
out of the bank and pin them inside
| her dress for safekeeping.
The doubter inquired as to the
sense of taking raw money into a
| world where it wasn't wanted, when
| it was earning interest here. This
| phase of the financial situation had
| its weight.
We'll, that's so. There'n be $685.
| coming to me in January, only there
isn't going to be any January-isn t
it awful-almost enough to pay in
| terest on my lot"
And. besides, shrouds have no
pockets"
This valuable, though unsolicited
statement was supplied by serio-
! comic passenger who was listening
in. The woman appreciated the re-
| minder, and voiced a change OF
| plans:
That's so. l guess l better let the
money be and just cash a little check
l beener saving for a tight time
| read the other day that things are
| going to be easier after the campaign
It's awful hard to have to go without
any of us knowing who would be
elected if the world had kept on
But we gotter go. all of US. Therel
| come a rain of fire, and after oul
bodies are burned to ashes. some OF
US will go up in chariots and some OF
US will be weepin' and gnashin' theil
| teeth. All the signs are sure-a gent.
man friend was telling me the par.
| ticularS last night"
The serio-comic passenger made
| another remark:
You've got it down right fine
haven't you, ma'am? But seems to me
if we get burned to ashes we won't
have any lungs to weep and wal
| with-and how can we gnash with nc
| teeth? If l was You, I'd keep my
| money in bank and not trust it to
anybody-not even to the gentleman
! friend"
| Having administered this advice
| streaked with warning, the man sub
! sided. and that was all for that time
| SO far as the surrounding public
| knew.
! Foolish? Sure. But if you hear a
| couple of good, honest, hard working
women pattering along like that,
isn't it the most natural thing in the
world to tab them down when you

That is what the woman wanted to

she paid city rates and tipped the bus

the drivers seat. And as she got

there was the restfulness of the deep

taste.
There were a number Of outstand-
ing characters, particularly Uncle
Sas as represented by Harry Barnett,
and Miss Columbia by Erhna O'Gara.
The folk dances from the various
nations of the world had been clever
ly arranged by Miss Everhardt and
daintily and perfectly executed by
the students of the grades. The
songs for all nations were sung in
chorus and splendidly rendered.
Not only was the Lincoln Day
celebration in Sank Centre a fitting
tribute to the man, but it was a dis
tinct credit to the faculty, and the
students of the public schools, and
the only regret is that it was not pos
sible to care for more than the sou
who enjoyed the program:

tainment follows: herewith:

The Lincoln Day program present
ed by the Elementary grades Of the
Sank Centre public schools in the
Junior High Auditorium, Tuesday af-
ternoon, attracted an audience that
completely filled this spacious room.
A dress rehearsal was given Monday
morning by the grade students and
the children from the Parochial
school; otherwise it would have been
absolutely impossible to handle the
people, including the children who de-
sired to pay tribute to the martyred
president.
There are a large number of Lin
coin programs prepared by organiza-
tons and publishers, but the enter
tainment given by the Sank Centre
students Tuesday afternoon was orig
inal, having been written, arranged
and directed by Miss Clifford Ever
hardt, principal of the Junior High
School department, assisted in the
presentation by all of the grade
teachers. Due to the illness of Miss
Bugbee, Miss Dorothy Scott, superin-
tendent of music in the public
schools. presided at the piano.
The members of B. r. Palmer
Post, G.. A. R. and w. R. c., 48
in all, were guests of honor at this
entertainment. As they marched into
the auditorium the students of the
Senior High stood at attention out of
respect and reverence for the Civil
War veterans. In this connection,
Commander Byron Carr, has request
ed the Herald to extend the sincere
thanks of the G.. A. R. and w. R. c..
to Superintendent Falk, to Miss
Everhardt, the students and all
others who were responsible for the
proper observance of Lincoln's birth
day at which they were the honored
guests.
There was not hitch or break
in the program which started prompt
" at 200 o'clock. The costumes
were extremely appropriate and
were designed and made by the fac
ulty members. In fact, they were

Large Number Of Farmers
Attend Shorthorn Meeting
Mr.. McMartin of Claremont Gives
Dairymen Some Sound Advice
Butterfat Production of Breeds

The showing of Shorthorn pictures
at the Caughren Theatre last Satur-
day attracted a large number Of
breeders from this and surrounding
communities.
The pictures were interesting and
covered several large herds, and
number of prize winners of the Milk
ing Shorthorn breed.
Louis J. McMartin of Claremont,
Mimi, breeder Of milking Shorthorn
cattle. He stated that the Shorthorn
was the oldest breed in the country
today and originated in Great Britain
about $50 years ago. Robert Bates
had the first herd of milking Short
horns in America rs years ago,
which shows this particular breed OF
cattle are not new. Mr.. McMartln
said, among other things:
81 am not casting a slur on any
certain breed but want to emphasize
that no breed will give a lot of milk
unless they have proper care and
feed and that with ordinary care as
the Shorthorn gets in England they
are as good as the BEST"
"The Shorthorn is good for beef
as was proved by an experiment at
Waseca where they bought grade
cows and put Shorthorn bulls with
them. The experiment showed that
steers one-year-old could be made to
put on three pounds day apiece.
"The Shorthorn produces butterfat
about as cheap as any other breed of
cattle, under ordinary conditions.
When man is on the job seven
mornings and seven nights a week
with milk pail between his legs he
wants to do it at profit or not at
all.
81 would not advise anyone to
change their herds and try any other
breed than they already have but l
do advise better care and proper
feeding"
Mr.. McMartin gave the average
yield of milk per cow for 1923 in diff
ferent countries as follows: Great
Britain, Shorthorn-5,934 lbs; Den
mark, Holstein, $500 lbs; Canada,
Mixed, 3,779 lbs; U. S. "A, Mixed,
1927 lbs.

the bullets flying both ways, and stop
ping directly in front Walkowiak,
fired one shot at him from a distance
of rs feet. The bullet struck the band
it in the throat, land travelling through
lodged itself at the base of his skull.
This morning, wan, shaken, and
torn with pain, Steve Walkowiak told
his story. He had been turned from
his home in Waite Park last fall, he
said, by his step-father, Math Tarno-
weick. Suffering from valvular leak
ing of the heart, he was unable to
continue his regular occupation
which was that of a quarryman. He
tried learning the watch repairing
business in local jewelry store, and
later took over a job as tobacco strip
per in cigar factory here.
Steve Walkowiak has lived in or
near st. Cloud all his life save for a
few years in his early youth when he
was confined to an orphange. His
father died when he was but a child,
and his mother married again only r.
Gently, this time to Math Tarnoweick
at Waite Park. Steve has four broth
ers and three sisters, all of them
younger than himself. He was not in
the army during the war as was sus-
pected, although a draft registration
card was found in his pocket.
Driven almost mad by the contin-
ual pain clutching at his heart, I'M
able to keep steady job, and thus
support himself, Walkowiak turned to
desperate measures as relief
coupled with the influence
of bad companions, turned him, he
said.
ssSasfew days ago, he went to Mime
apolis and purchased a pistol. With
this, he said, he planned to commit
suicide and end it all. Instead he
purchased second pistol, and be-
gan his career as a bandit.
For three years, the wounded man
said, he has been suffering from acute
leaking of the heart. X-ray
pictures taken in the hospital today
proved his heart to be more than
twice it's normal size. Walkowiak kept
a small diary, in which he recorded
from day to day his condition. The
pages show that some days he was
feeling bright and CHEEKY, and that
other days he was sinking to the
depths of morbidness and despair.
The thread of the story written in
the diary indicates the constantly in
creasing inclinations to wildness. The
last entry was made three days ago.

GIVEN MORE TERRITORY

w. p. Arndt, the live-wire sales
man of stock for the Minnesota Build
ing and Loan Association, has been
given charge of Douglas County, in
addition to his present territory.
When it comes to selling stock, Bill is

and many Sank Centre citizens are
taking advantage of the opportunity
to invest.

Department was put into commission

NEW RESIDENT LOCATES HERE

NEW RESIDENT LOCATES HERE
r. R. belong removed his family,
consisting of wife and six children,
from Lamberton, Redwood county, to
Sank Centre this week and they have
taken possession of Mrs. Dewy's resi-
dence in the western part of the city.
Mr.. belong is an experienced auc-
tioneer, specializing in livestock and
farm sales.1 He comes to this section
of the country most highly recon-
mended by the bankers of Redwood
county as an efficient and dependa-
Bile auctioneer. One of the things
that attracted Mr.. belong to Sank
Centre was the splendid lakes in this
vicinity, as he enjoys fishing and
hunting. He called at the Herald of
flee and subscribed for this great
family journal for year and in an
informal visit impresses one, as being
desirable citizen. He has his
auctioneer's announcement elsewhere
in this issue of the Herald.
