Former Sank Centre Man
Helps "Clean Up" His City
Paul Fish and Marine Buddies As
sist in Quelling Crime Reign At
Des Moines, Iowa

In order to stop the crime wave
which was sweeping over Des Moines,
Ia, The "Forty and Eighties" of that
city, directed by their Post Commander
Paul Fish, offered the services of
from 60 to 100 men to assist the po-
lice officers of their city:
The following from the Iowa Le-
gionaire under date of Feb. Is, will
be of interest to many Herald readers
as it tells the story Of Mr., Fish and
his gang in cooperating with the po-
lice officers of theeir city:
"Chef de Care Paul Fish of .Argon-
ne Post voiture, Des Moines, was a
buck in the Marine corps under Brig.
Gen. Smedley Butler at Quantico
back in the war days. The whole
country is now watching General
Buffers fight on vice and crime at
Philadelphia. Fish is Des Moines
business man an ardent Legionaire,
and enthusiastic "Forty and Fighter
whose vision Of the good post or vol
ture may do is unbounded. $780,
Some of Gen. Buffers spirit must
have gotten into Buck Fish's system,
for when Des MONIES got into the
grip of terrific crime wave early in
January, Fish promptly event into
action" He sprang an idea at the
meeting at which he was installed,
and the next day the newspapers an
nounced that Argonne Post voiture
had offered from sixty to 100 picked
men gratis to help the police patrol
the city in an effort to curb crime.
The offer was eagerly accepted.
That evening the "Box Car" volun-
teers were sworn in as special Of
ficers and assigned in pairs with one
regular officer for each pair to do
police duty. AT first the "Forty and
Fighters" worked on only two hour
shifts but the crooks were so well
organized and daring, they. asked
that the shifts be heightened to five
hours so that the law and order for
ces could be at the highest possible
strength.
Night after night, these. veterans
bankers, merchants, doctors, lawyers,
statesmen, clerks, truck drivers, la
borers and students, have armed
themselves and resolutely endured the
severe cold and faced. the dangers of
the job that residents might be safer.
DesMoines civic clubs were SO i'm
pressed with what the voiture was
doing that they have detailed men
to the same kind of work and furn-
ished automobiles which have been
added to the police patrol fleet. Moth
ing the "Forty and Fighters have
ever done has won greater admira-
ton from the citizens of Des Moines.
And best of all, conditions as to
crime have shown a distinct improve
ment.

Paul.
The campaign to introduce sweet
cream butter to the Twin City mar
ket has been unusually successful, ac-
cording to Mr.. Meyer With the con-
test closed, the business is passing
through settling process and al
ready 1000 stores are handling the
butter on regular basis. Last week
the association began handling eggs
for cooperative creameries in the Vi
cinity of the Twin Cities and this
week will distribute cheese made by
the Twin City Milk Producers asso-
citation, thus completing its line of
dairy products.
'No campaign to introduce a new
dairy product to a vast consuming
district has been so successful" said
Mr.. Meyer. "In times past, retailers
in the Twin Cities have been unable
to push their butter sales, because
the quality of the product bought from
centralizers was not all the same.
Now that the coop. creameries have
made it possible for them to obtain
a better product, sales are being
made on the basis of quality, rather
than price," 1aIa

BASKET BALL SEMI
FINALS NEXT WEEK
TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD AT
JUNIOR HIGH AUDITORIUM
MARCH 9TH
SEVERAL TEAMS ENTER
SAUK CENTRE ONE OF THE
LEADING CONTENDERS FOR
DISTRICT HONORS er

The High School basket ball tourn-
ament for District No. will be held
at Sank Centre and Moorhead Friday
evening, March z, according to Sun
days Minneapolis Tribune. The Her
aid understands that there are at
least z quints entered for the semi
finals from this section of the dis
trict. 1t is not likely, however, that
seven will compete at Sank Centre
next week as it would be impossible
for the necessary games to be played
in one day, and evening. More thar
likely the district committee will auth
orize the playing of games by several
of the teams, the losers to be elimi-
mated so that only four teams will be
called upon to finish in the semi-fnals
in this city next week.
The two winners in the semi-dis-
trict finals will meet on a neutral
floor March IL to decide who shall
represent it's district at the State
Tournament to be held at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, Minneapolis,
starting March 10. .,fD US Ge#
The district tournament last year
was held in Sank Centre with Wa
dena, Alexandria, Osakis and Melrose
competing; Wadena winning, later de-
feating Fergus Falls for the district
championship. @aeta,
While this city is centrally located
for the tournament it was nit certain
until few days ago that his years
semi-fnal district tournament would
be held in this city because Sank
Centre is one of the leading con-
tenders Of the district.
The games next week will be in
absolute charge of the district COM
mittee who will select the referee.
At the present time the two leading
teams in this portion of the district
are Sank Centre and Alexandra,
both of whom have lost two games.
Sank Centre has one more game to
play on her regular schedule when
she meets Melrose on the latter's
floor on Friday evening Of this week.
A silver loving cup will be awarded
the team winning the state champion
Ship, with medals for every member
of the team. "A trophy also will be
presented to the team showing the
best craftsmanship. Arnold Oss,
former all-around athletic star at the
University of Minnesota, has been APP
pointed manager of the meet and will
direct all the preliminary work.
In all probability this year will
mark the passing of the present dis
tricting. A referendum recently was
taken among the ESQ members of the
state association, and 166 of the
schools favored motion to divide the
state into 80 districts instead of the
present 16. Final action on the motion
will be taken at the spring meeting
of the association on April 18.

Padua Cooperative Cream
cry Has Successful Year
Secretary L. E. Gallagher's Report of
Conditions Gratifying to Stock
holders and Patrons

At the annual meeting of the Pad
VA Cooperative Creamery Associa-
ton held Wednesday, Feb Is, Henry
Weiner was reelected president, Hen
ny, Barchinger,, vice president, and
L. E.. Gallager, Sec'y., Leroy Killen
elected to succeed Ben Imdieke as
Treas, who refused to serve longer.
A vote of thanks was extended to
Mr.. Imdieke for his long and faith
fpl services in building up the cream
cry. The board of directors are
Jos. Jennisen, reelected; W. E.
Rooney, reelected and Frank Essler
elected to succeed Carrot Jansen.
Secretary Gallager's annual report
showed that the creamery had enjoyed
a substantial gain during the past
year. About $4,000 pounds of butter
was manufactured during the year;
an increase of 5000 pounds over the
proceeding year. Patrons were paid
the average price of Ala for their
product; the average price received
was 42.8; average over-run being
% .48. Mr.. Gallagher stated in his
report that the creamery is increasing
its output of butter every week, and
a hopeful, optimistic spirit prevails
among the patrons.
At moon the ladies of the COM
munity served substantial dinner in
the town hall. After dinner strong
addresses were made by Mr.. Gallagher
and DR.. J.. A. Dubois of Sank Cen
ere. DR.. Dubois urged the standing
together of the cooperative creamery
but said that they must be conducted
along reasonable business lines, and
not be towards in the present fight
which they are facing.
Mr.. Gallagher reviewed the develop
ment of the Anglo Saxon race and
their fight for liberty and represen-
tative government, applying this rule
to the development of the co-opera-
tive creamery showing that their in
terest as members of such an organi-
cation were mutual and that they
had representative government in
that they elected their officers and
directors to conduct their business
for them. re-
: Supper was served at 500 follow
ed by largely attended dance in the

IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS

Collector of Internal Revenue, L..
M. Willcuts, earnestly calls the at
tention of taxpayers to the following
LIST. All returns must be filed on
or before March 18th.
End. Taxpayers are. urged to be
careful and have their returns prop
erly and correctly made out.
3rd. 6 The returns must be made
under the present law. The new bill
before Congress will probably not be
passed for some months. If it does
become a law, no one knows at this
time what the provisions will be. If
there are any changes affecting the
tax for 1923, provision will be made
to promptly adjust the taxes on the
returns that are filed on or before
March 18th. Taxpayers should not
wait. They will have to file returns
by March 18th under the present law.
s4th.. Taxpayers who want help in
making out their returns should go
to our different offices Immediately
while we! can give them attention.
During the last few days rush it is
impossible to give them the time that
we, can. give them now. Our whole
force is now at the disposal of tax
payers to help them with the returns.
To those who are making their own
returns and are in doubt, we urge
them to call at our offices or write.
18th. The above statement is
made for the reason that we are ex-
trernely anxious to avoid any and all
penalties, if possible, for failure to
file returns or to file correct returns.
9th. To !, those taxpayers who
have made errors in their returns in
past years, we earnestly urge them,
as soon as the errors are discovered,
to immediately file amended returns
correcting the errors. These re-
turns sooner or later are all checked
up and Investigated. By voluntarily
making amended returns, the tax
payer would mitigate the penalties.
The Department and this office en-
courage these voluntary amended re-
turns where errors have been made.
9TH. This office earnestly desires
that taxpayers cooperate with us
ine all these matters, thereby saving
annoyances in the future. .ron
