golf tournament for IT year old boys
at the Minnekada course, Minneapolis

The tournament started with 80
PLAYERS from every section of the
state, but most Of them from the
Twin Cities.
Young Bolstead of the Midland
Hills course, Minneapolis, was picked
by the newspaper writers to win the
tournament with ease when the
tourney opened, and the Sank Centre
lad was not given any notice what
ever. By playing steady golf Walter
fought his way to the finals by elimi-
mating all of his competitors but was
defeated by the favorite Saturday
morning by three up, eighteen holes.
The Sank Centre lad went to the
tournament without any supporters

he played the nerviest golf of any OF

Tragedy Occurred While Boy Was
Cleaning Rifle at Home Sunday
Afternoon

Walter Skag, IS year old son of
Joe Skag of Holdingford, bled to
death Sunday afternoon from wounds
resulting from the accidental dis
charge of rifle. The youth was
rushed to the st. Cloud hospital for
medical care but died five minutes
after he arrived.
The boy, according to the story as
told was in his room upstairs. He had
a rifle in his room and evidently had
been cleaning or fixing it. In some
manner, in way that will never be
known the rifle went off. The bullet
entered the thigh slightly below the
hip, passed through it and went
through the other thigh, severing i'm
portant arteries in its course.

FARMER-LABOR CAN
DIDATES SPEAK HERE
ANDREW HENDRICKSON WELL
KNOWN KANDOTA RESIDENT
MASTER OF CEREMONIES
OLSON MAIN SPEAKER
SHIPSTEAD AND SULLIVAN AL.
SO TALK-INUENDO AND
HALF TRUTHS PREVAIL

The address by Farmer-Lavor can
didate for Governor, Floyd B. Olson,
and retinue of lesser lights, spoke
before an audience of about so to rs
people on the streets of Sank Centre
Friday afternoon.
Andrew Hendrickson, the we'll
known Kandota township farmer
presided as chairman and introduced
DR.. Shipstead of Brooten, Farmer
Labor candidate for Congress from
this district, as the first speaker. In
view of the fact that the doctor de-
feated Mr.. Hendrickson, his introduc-
ton was most gracious and indicated
that the Kandota township man is a
good loser. The dentist spoke for
about ten minutes and his talk was
one of condemnation of both old
parties, particularly the Republican,
without offering any practical sug-
gestion for the solution of the
evils existing. The doctor has a
pleasing personality and will receive
a large number of votes because of
the fact that his name is Shipstead,
many voters believing that they are
voting for his brother, the Junior
Senator.
In his address Floyd Olson was
not nearly as red as when he spoke
to the Sank Centre citizens before
the primaries. Mr.. Olson confined
his talk very largely to state issues
taxation being his principal point
of attack. He called attention to
the fact that Ted Christensen, Re-
publican candidate, for governor, had
been chairman of the House Appro-
priations committee for six years and
was responsible for the large increase
in the rate, neglecting to state, how
ever, that the chairman of the Appro-
priations committee only has vote
| in the committee on any measure
when his vote is needed to break a
tie. Mr.. Olson's address was full Of
half truths. He has made splen-
did prosecuting attorney in Minneap-
oils and as a candidate for governor
before the primaries had the en-
dorsement of the Communist party,
the reddest of the reds in this coun-
try. He has never lived outside of
the city of Minneapolis and does not
know the real problem of the man in
the small community and on the farm.
Mr.. Boon, for years right hand
man with A. G. Townley when the
money grabbing was good among the
farmers in Minnesota and North and
South Dakota, was the next speaker,
the purpose of his talk being to urge
those in attendance to contribute to
the Farmer-Labor campaign, and at
the conclusion of his address he
passed the hat among the crowd and
that was more or less success.
The high light Of the afternoon was
the speel by Tommy Sullivan, Farm
er-Labor candidate for attorney Gen.
eral. Tommy has most pleasing
personality and is a clever little Irish
man. AS a thrower Of the bull, pure
and simple, he has few equals.

Booze Cache at Fair Grounds

When Superintendent of Grounds
George Rice, was getting the county
fari grounds in shape for this years
fair, he discovered the fact that a
blind pig of healthful proportions
had been operated on the grounds.
The galvanized water tank which
controls the water to supply the toilet
in the Sank Centre building, was
found to contain a five gallon jug and
a two gallon jug, both containing
small amounts of moonshine. Well
worn tracks in that locality aroused
Mr.. Rice's suspicion and investigation
disclosed the fact that the blind pig
had been operated on city property.

Sank Centre. In discussing the farm
outlook with the Herald editor We'd
nesday evening, Mr.. Arney stated
that he had absolute faith in the
value of the farm lands in this sec
ton of Minnesota. He bought most
of his land at the so-called peak prices
several years ago but is firmly con-
WINGED that in comparatively few
years every acre of this land will be
worth more than he paid for it. AS
a matter of fact he is not considering
the putting of price on any of his
holdings in this section at this time

WHEN EVERY VOTER VOTES

General determination is expressed by civic organ
zatons throughout the country tn eend that the
cast at the presidential election November shall
exceed in volume that which recorded in 1920. 1t
has been shown that less than so per cent Of the quail
ned electors went to the polls on that occasion. In
other words, the 100000 majority which President
Harding received actually represented the minority.
1t is not assumed that 100 per cent sentiment had
been expressed in the ballot box there would have been
reversal of the actual conclusions; but that would
have been possible.
The point however, is that every voter should
vote. There is citizen in the United States today
who does not have opinion upon the relative merits
OF Calvin Coolidge John w. Davis and Robebrt La Foil
ette There few citizens probably who do not real
ze that the real contest is between the conservative
policy which would cling closely to the constitution
and to the recognized institutions of government
tested by years of experience and that policy which
would venture into experimental fields that ques
tionable if not positively dangerous.
The situation is such that there should be
plete expression of the public will One worthy but
perturbed American has suggested that each voter be
given personal invitation to go to the polls on elec
ton day. and mark his ballot matter what his views
may be. While any propaganda which will arouse the
American people is worth while, it should be unnec
essary to go to the extreme here suggested
The vote undoubtedly will be heavier than it
four years ago. The injection of the La Toilette candi
dacy and the possibility that the responsibility for
choosing president may be transferred from the
ELECTORAL college to congress- conditions which
influencing widespread interest and which will spur
every woman who enjoys the privilege of SUI
frage to his or her full duty.
This will be better government when every voter
is such in practice as we'll in name.-Long Beach
