A SCHOOI-WEDDING JOKE

II you'd like a joke on a whole
family and especially on a young
man and a young woman just out OF
school, lend us your attention and
get an earful.
This happened quite while ago
In an Indiana town, and we are go
ing to withhold the names of the
actors. 1t happened In home
where there were father and
mother, grown son, grown
daughter and kid brother. The
daughter was home from school and
the big brother was expected home
tomorrow The daughters girl
friend, who had been promising to
come over and make them a weeks
visit, could come right now, today II
it suited the rest of them. The only
hindering circumstance about it was
that the daughters room was being
done over and would not be ready
for use until tomorrow.
They decided to have the guest
come on, and they would have the
kid brother sleep on the sofa that
night and let the two girls have the
boys room. In the fore part of the
night the daughter developed a
humping toothache and slipped out
softly and went down to father and
mothers room. Mother adopted
some line of treatment for the tooth
and had the daughter lie down to
see how it acted, and when the tooth
got easier she fell asleep and mother
slipped into bed and tucked daugh-
ter in.
In the meantime the big brother
changed his plans and caught an
earlier train for home. Arrived on
the porch he removed his shoes and
stole softly up to his room, and en-
tered Soft breathing told him that
his kid brother was in dreamland
and he disrobed and slipped into bed
without waking anyone.
In the morning the dawn arrived
on schedule time and somebody stir
red in the boys bed. Two people
who lay facing each other, opened
their eyes at the same moment
Each one was surprised. Each one
did some quick thinking. Neither
of them had ever seen this other per-
son. He got his wits together first
and said, IF you will turn over
will dress and leave"
She turned over. She admits
that she turned promptly. While
dressing he reflected on how it would
disturb the poise of the whole fam
lily when this circumstance became
known to them. He decided that it
might not be necessary for them to
know it, and what they did not know
would not pain them. He opened
the rear window wide and climbed
down over the shed roof and beat it.
It those days they did not say, beat
IT, they said "skid0o."
After the next train arrived in
Town he came up from the depot and
arrived home in good form. The
folks introduced him to their guest.
She liked him better for his thought
,ulness at their first meeting. she
he was true blue. He liked
Ter for her frankness and for the
inc confidence that existed between
hem. Two years later they were
married and when they came home
rom their wedding trip they told
he rest of the family just when and
where they first saw each other.

into and filled the gap without loss
to the team. Toward the close of
the season Loren Hansen showed ex-
ceptional form and played several i'm
portant games.
The spirit shown by the Sank
Centre boys in carrying through so
successful season is most COM
mendable. Whenever extra effort or
practice was called, they willingly re-
sponded.
The outlook for a fast team next
year is very bright. Lembke and Marx
are the only two regulars of this
yaer's team who are scheduled to
graduate in June. With Moynihan,
Nelson, Brown, Hansen, and McDer-
mond, Coach Otis will have strong
nucleus for next year.
Sank Centre had the hardest
schedule of any of the teams in the
district except Alexandria. They
played stronger teams than Wadena
or Fergus Falls. In the ten games
played the Sank Centre quint scored
PIG points to her opponents lob.
Lembke lead in scoring with 35 field
goals, and IA free throws. Brown
was close second in spite of the fact
that he did not play in the greater
part of two games. The points scored
by the individual members of the
Sank Centre quint during the season

I speed, was shifty candidate for for
ward. However, he demonstrated his
versatile ability and was assigned to a
guard position. Sam Grossberg, inn
proved steadily and along with Nelson
made claim to the other guard posi-
ton.
The lineup for the first game of
the season with Melrose was an ex-
pertinent, with Lembke, McDermond,
Marx, Moynihan, starting the game :.
In few minutes Nelson was replaced
by Grossberg, McDermond by Brown.
Later in the game Brown replaced
Marx, and Marx replaced Grossberg,
but the guard situation was still un-
settled. The Alexandria game
brought forth the proper combination
with Marx center, Lembke and Brown
forwards, and Moynihan and Gross
berg, guards. With odds greatly
against Sank Centre, this quint de-
feated Alexandria in such a clean,
fast game that their right to perm
anent berth was unquestioned by fol-
lowers of the team. The Alexandria
game also proved that the local boys
were dlSO Icdl ldCIOIS III Iilc uloLllCt
race and one of the best teams in
this section. This was further DEM
onstrated by the defeat of the Osakis
"Speed Boys" the week following.
Long Prairie and Alexandria
caught the boys on nights when they
were "off stride" and defeated them
after hard fought games-the only
defeats suffered during the regular
schedule of ten games. Sank Centre
was eliminated during the sub-district
tournament here by Fergus Falls, by
one point. Fergus Falls later won
the Sub-district tournament here in
this city. In this connection it is in
teresting to note that at no time dur
ing the esason was Sank Centre de-
feated by more than four points. This
occurred only once, the other two de-
feats were one point only. The total
points that the locals were defeated
in the three games were six.
When Sam Grossberg left school in
mid-season, Nelson who mad improved
steadily from the first, easily stepped

Creamery Butter Going
to Forty-Nine Cities
Steady Prices Depend on Expansion
of Outelt, Says H. F. Meyer, As
ISOLATION Sales Manager

The newly created sales depart
ment of the Minnesota Cooperative
Creameries' association rapidly is
showing results in that it has been
able to find market for Minnesota's
sweet cream butter in 40 cities.
Up to the time the association under
took marketing, the bulk of the
states cooperative butter was being
dumped on the New York market.
This resulted in periodic price fluctu-
atoms which individual creameries
were powerless to prevent.
Last week, the marketing depart
ment, in charge of H. F. Meyer,
shipped butter to Louisville, KY,
Springfield, Ill, August, Ga, Co
lumbus, Ga, Jacksonville, Fla, Bos-
ton, Mass, and other distant points.
Several of these were sample ship
ments, consigned on the request OF
large carlot buyers, plan that Mr..
Meyer has been following for some
time. This system already has de-
veloped a steady trade in several CT
ties, especially Boston and Jackson
vile. Jacksonville is now taking two
cars week, all packed in quarter
pound prints. While most of the
butter handled by the department is
being sold in tubs, the demand for
print packages is growing constantly
and Mr.. Meyer is of the opinion that
the day is near when the bulk of the
sweet cream butter will be sold in

GOVERNMENT INSURANCE
Conversation Overheard in 1853
(By S. A. Warren, u. S. Veterans
Bureau)

GAS Y result of the discussion yes
terday Of our future, Mary, we found
that the 20-Pay Life policy and the
Ordinary Life policy under Govern
ment insurance have a combined
"Cash Surrender" value of $5321.
We have paid in premiums over the
thirty years we have carried these
policies only $5085. We will receive
1886 more than we paid in premiums
and our savings account has been
augmented from year to year by the
cash dividends received. We have
not been required to leave them to
accumulate i'm the hands of the in
surer. We also found these policies
have combined "Paid-up" value of
$8487.55; $3487.55 on the Ordinary
Life and $4,000 on the 20-Pay Life;
and an Extended Insurance" value
of from 16 years "a days on the Or
binary Life policy to the rest of our
lives on the 20-Pay Life Policy"
"What wonderful values! Especial
ly when we realize we have drawn
our dividends in cash and made good
use of them"
SIN bordering the question, what
to do about these values and care
fully rereading the provisions of the
policies, l find two excellent methods
have been provided for assuring my
self of your receiving monthly in
come, happen what may. If we
should decide to continue the insur-
ance in force upon the "Paid-up In.

Sank Centre is proud of the show
ing made by the High School students
making up this seasons basket ball
team. They are not only proud of
the excellent record made by the
boys on the field but also of the splen-
did craftsmanship displayed.
basket ball outlook was anything but
favorable because with very few ex-
ceptions the timber available was
largely made up of subs of last years
organization. Only few men ap-
peared interested in the sport and
scarcely bakers dozen seemed in
clined to sacrifice their social activl-
ties for vigorous athletic course and
training necessary to make the team.
The Herald understands that at no
time during the season were there
over Ia cnidates or positions,
and these for the most part were in
experienced. :.
s'Lack of material with experience"
is the cause for many common place
high school teams. There is grow
ing tendency among high school boys
to wait till their Junior-Senior years
before getting out for athletics, be-
lieving that their chances to make
the team will be better at that time.
Sel1ishly they keep in mind the sole
aim, of making the team" forget
ting the higher aim "what service can
I be to the team?" They are not far
sighted enough to realize that the
boy in the grades who gets out is
worth more to the team and has a
much better chance Of making the
team during his High school period.
Because Of the inexperience of
available material, Coach Glen R.
Otis found it necessary to spend
much time on rudiments of the game.
Before the holidays practice was
confined to passing, shooting, and
efforts to overcome the tendency to
ssfoul." There was an abundance of
forward material, but guards were
lacking. The question of developing
suitable guards was one of the per-
picking problems before the coacn.

known quantity, with world of

The above table includes games
played within the district and does
not include games played with grade
schools or outside of the district. The
standing of several of the schools
would be materially changed were
games played outside the district or
with grade schools counted. 1t is evil
dent from this table that only four
schools played schedules of ten or
more games all within the district or
ganization. This group consists of,
Sank Centre, Alexandria, Fergus
Falls and Long Prairie.
Of these schools only Sank Centre
and Fergus Falls played a straight
ten game schedule before the tourn-
ament, all with schools in this dis
trict. Sank Centre finds herself well
up near the top in percentage of
games won and lost and has no apol-
ogies to make for her schedule.

Immigration Discussed
Legion posts are interested in two
bills now before Congress those
relative to immigration and the uni
versal draft plan. The Legion asks
that immigrants be barred from the
United States for five years and that
until they are forbidden to enter, a
system of examination on the other
side of the water be made effective.
1t is hoped in this way to eliminate
the traces for port" that have char
acterized the monthly entry of quotas
in the past. 1t is pointed out that the
alien often suffers through being sent
back after he has invested a small
fortune in leaving his native, land
The universal service draft plan pro
vides that in time Of emergency the
President shall mobilize all man pow
er, wealth, and industry, rather than
men alone.

been done with view to putting on
intensive campaigns. Post Eight of
st. Paul has signed more than 500
members-more than half it's quota.
In Ramsey and Hennepin counties
many of the posts already have sur
passed their 1923 membership but
thus far have not turned in enough
dues to department headquarters to
show an increase over 1923 there
and for purposes of comparison all
figures are taken from the records at
Department Headquarters.
Assistant Treasurer Brandenburg
sums up the situation thus boil
ing all the membership campaign
plans down we find that the member
ship of the state as a whole depends
entirely on the activities of each post.
The officers of each post primarily
are responsible for its membership,
therefore the membership in a post is
great or small, good or bad, just in
proportion as the post is well Z or
poorly differed" Comrade Brandon
burg points out that the Department
of Iowa had made wonderful record
along membership lines by conduct
| ing house to house canvasses.
Minnesota can do sas WELL" he
declares.
The Minnesota membership to date
totals $4,000.
Last years total for the entire
year was 24,372.
This year an enrolment of more
than 10000 is expected.
