While motoring here today some Of our
men remarked that it is a very beautiful
island with fertile lands and reminds one
of some parts of the United States more
than any other place around here that we
have visited.
Upon entering and Hooking upon the
walls of this building we see the picture
of some Of the great men who have made
our country great. We hope that the
h-ritage will help to make this island
great.
Within the sound of my voice | am told
that Alexander Hamilton the great or
ganizer of the United States financial
system lived and worked as a by. Ger,
tainly we can never be unmindful of
the duty we owe this island.

WEDNESDAY March 5 is the begin
III ming of Lent. 1t is customary and
proper that this season be used tor
special meditation upon the suffering
and sacrifice of our Lord. 1t is neces-
sary' that we during this season rededl-
cate and ccnsecrate ourselves to His ser
vice and bring the gospel which is the
power Of God to our fellow men, that we
take up the problems facing US 10 the
spirit of Him who came and gave HIS
life.
The services in the Lutheran Churches
in this Island will concentrate upon these
things tina are deepest and Fundamental
because we believe that without a soild
foundation no structure will endure.
Services will be held Sunday in the
Churches at the usual hours, mornings
and evenings and in the afternooh at
Kings Hill.
In the morning at Christiansted the
topic will be The Passing of Opportunl-
ties'' and in the evening at Frederiksted
it will be Doing the Impossible"

FINE CORN PROSPECT

Joseph Hoyez, living on farm five
miles northwest of Sank Centre, has
TO- acres of corn nearly five foot
high, most of which is tasseled out.
Mr.. Hoyez planted this field in the
very last days of May. Before the
planting he thoroughly disced and
narrowed his corn ground twice and
narrowed it again after it was plant
ed. The gentleman insists that his
cornfield is in good condition for this
season of the year and attributes his
prospect for crop very largely to
the fact that the seed bed was thor
oughly prepared before the corn was
planted. The gentleman removed to
the Sank Cntre territory last fall
from a farm south of Brooten.

Sinclair Lewis Returns
From the Canadian Wilds
To Spend Short Time Visiting Father
will Resume Literary Work
in Short Period

Sinclair Lewis who has been
spending the last several weeks with
his brother DR.. Claude Lewis of ST..
Cloud, and the Indian Commissioner
of Canada, in the wilds of the far
north, returned to Sank Centre Mon
day and will spend week or more
visiting his father, DR.. E. ]. Lewis of
this city.
This trip, complete, meant about
1900 miles of canoeing and will be
completed August goth. Harry
states that the outing was very en-
joyable for a time but the trip final
ly became very monotonous. Dr.
Claude Lewis is the physician in
charge of the party and will make the
entire trip.
The Herald understands that Sank
Centres famous author does not con-
template the starting of new novel
for sometime. When he does write
his next novel, more than likely a
live-wire travelling man will be the
chief character in the story. For
several months he will devote his
time and energies to magazine arti-
cles and research work.

tire to lay, more especially in view of
the fact that the lowest priced bid re-
celved was concrete one course paw
ing, which in effect provides for a
base and top seven and one-half
inches thick, strongly reinforced by
iron. He said the cost of durability
and up-keep of this type of paving
was negligible.
Mr.. Pettibone, representing the
VIbrolithic paving, was the second
speaker. The gentleman made very
frank explanation and gave his aud
fence much valuable information
Vibrolithic paving is exactly the
same as one course concrete paving,
save and except that after the base
OF the concrete is laid, an additional
course of granite is forced into the
base making more dense and
stronger foundation.
j. B. Elliot spoke for the Texaco
Oil Company who manufacture oil
ashphalt for ashpaltic paving.
and A. j. Mari from the company
preparing lake ashphalt explained
the merits of this type of paving.
Mr.. Olson of the Bitholitic Com
pany, patented product, told of the
virtues of the paving materials fur
nished by his company over any
other. The tax payers took lively
interest in the statements made by
the various gentlemen and asked a
large number of intelligent questions
to bring out points not made clear in
the talks.
Mayor Parker, who presided at
the meeting, called upon owners of
abutting property, to state their
views and preferences as to the type
of paving Sank Centre should lay.
Avery large percentage of those
present felt that the one course con-
cret or Vibrolithic paving would best
meet the needs of Sank Centre and
would save. the tax payers thousands
of dollars. Mr.. Parker kept record
of the different speakers, which
showed that eighteen of the twenty
three present expressing themselvs,
were in favor of the vibrolithic type.
The following tables show the de-
tailed bid on each type of paving and
the aggregate and per square yard
cost of the completed paving of the
various types.

Tuesday morning of this week the
Sank Centre City Council opened the
bids for paving to be done by Sank
Centre this year, in the presence of
nine individual bidders and a large
number of interested citizens.
The estimates prepared by City
Engineer j. E.. Bonner from his
plans and specifications upon which
the bids were made, contemplated the
expenditure of sum well over $780,
900 for the cheapest of the five
types OF paving upon which bids
were asked. Concrete paving with
gravel, Asphaltic concrete paving,
Bitoltithic paving, and brick paving.
1t was very gratifying to note that
the bids in every instance were sew
eral thousand dollars below the engi-
neer's estimate.
1t was generally expected that the
bids for the completed work would
run right to at least $500 per yard on
the cheapest type of paving asked for
concrete paving with gravel base.
The lowest bid on this type of paving
was made by the Welsh Paving Cor.
poration of Minneapolis, SIT per
square yard, which brought the total
cost of the completed paving includ-
ing curbs, excavations, and other
materials at $2.51 per square yard,
the Welsh Construction Company's
bid for the paving only, being SIT
per square yard.
Tuesday evening the City Council
and abutting property owners on the
streets where the paving is to be
laid, and other citizens, met at the
Community Club rooms. Represen-
tatives of the various types of paw
ing upon which bids were asked were
each given ten minutes to state why
their particular brand of paving was
superior to those of other makes.
Following the close of each talk each
speaker answered a large number of
questions, demonstrating that the
people of Sank Centre were keenly
alive to the paving situation and were
anxious to secure all information pos
slble from every angle.
L. M. Bergvord of the Portland
Cement Association, was the first
speaker and told the story of plain
concrete paving which he insisted was
the practical paving for Sank Cen

LARGE PIKE TAKEN

Friday of last week, A. G. Fergu-
son of Livermore, Iowa, who has
been touring in Minnesota for sever
al weeks, happened by chance to
stop at the P. A. Pierson camping
ground which is located on Sank
Lake about seven miles north of
Sank Centre and proceeded to catch
mess of fish. He landed one
prize, a wall-eyed pike weighing
nine and one-half pounds, and meas
uring 80 inches long, and II inches
around. This is only one of the
many good catches of pike which
have been made in Sank Lake this
season, as number of residents of
Sank Centre have also been fortunate
in landing some large ones. Mr..
Ferguson turned the beauty over to
V. G. Wedge who is having it mount
ed for the Sank Centre Rod and Gun
Club.

the Sank Centre City Council spent two and Ours
with Highway Commissioner Babcock this forenoon dis
cussing the city's paving project.
After all angles had been gone it apparent that

types of pavement-the VbrOlhic-recOmmended by the
tax at Tuesday evenings meeting-or AsphaItic

The Vibrolithic type of paving is
somewhat new in Minnesota but has
been successfully laid for fourteen
years where traffic is very heavy, and
has given general satisfaction. At
Tuesday evenings meeting the Coun-
Gil were instructed to express the
wishes of Sank Centre citizens in IA
vor OF this type of paving to High
way Commissioner Babcock
The contract for state work is one
course concrete but as there is only
a spread of &c per yard between one
course gravel concrete paving and
the vibrolithic it is though that the
Highway Commissioner will take care
OF the spread over the eighteen foot
strip to be laid by the state.
There seems to be an impression
in some quarters that the strip of paw
ing on either side of the boulevard
on Main street will only be nine feet
wide. This is entirely wrong as the
paving is Is feet-nine feet to be
chraged against the abutting prop
erty and nine feet by the state of
Minnesota. The boulevard in the
center of the street starting corner
of Main and Fifth will be IL feet in
withdrawing the total of 48 feet
between the curbing.
