Pioneer Trails" Commun-
ity Club Picture Pleases
Fair-Sized Audience Enjoyed Enter
tainment-To Be Repeated This
Evening With Special Attraction

"Pioneer Trails" presented by the
Community Club at the Caughren
Theatre last evening, pleased a fair
sized audience.
Pioneer Trails" is one of the big
picture productions of the last IL
months, with splendid cast headed
by Alice Calhoun and Cullen Lands.
The theme deals with pioneer days
when the activities of the Red Skins
made crossing the continent extreme
ly hazardous. There is thrill in
every foot, with a strong heart inter-
est story as the ground work for the
plot.
The production is made more en-
joyable by DR.. Pedersen's orchestra
playing the musical score. A chorus
of male voices render pleasing selec-
tions. An added attraction this
Thursday evening will be the singing
of that exceptionally beautiful ballad,
my Wild Irish Rose," by Frank Kin
sella. This song in itself will be a
treat.
q The Community Club needs the
loyal support of Sank Centre citizens
this Thursday evening to make the
venture profitable one. The prices
Of admission are so cents for adults
and rs cents for children.

Local Fire Fighters Subdue
Nasty Blaze Saturday Night
Frame Structure on Third Street,
Occupied by Grossberg & Son,
Destroyed-Ives Has Small Loss

Shortly after eight o'clock Satur-
day evening the small frame building
on the north side of Third street west
of Oak and just east of the Motor
Inn, occupied by H. Grossberg G.
Son, was found to be on fire.
The extreme cold weather made
fire fighting most unpleasant and diff
ficult, but never was the efficiency of
the local volunteer department better
illustrated than in handling this blaze,
as the building appeared to be solid
mass of flames and was past re-
demption. The frame structure east
of the burning building, occupied by
Ives plumbing shop, was saved, with
a damage to the stock of only about
$500. That this building did not also
go up in flames is due to the fine
work of Sank Centres volunteer fire.
men, as the walls of the two places
were not over eight or ten inches
apart. The Motor Inn was not dam
aged at all.
The Grossbergs stored hides in the
place. The Herald understands that
Mr.. Grossberg says he had between
$4,000 and $4,000 worth of furs
and hides in the building, with no in
surance.
The building is owned by William
Murphy and it was. insured for
$1,000, which will cover the loss.
Mr.. Ives, the plumber, carried no
insurance, and he is mighty tickeled
man to escape with as small loss
as he did.
Grocer V. L. Burgess was on net
ties, naturally. During the progress
of the blaze he served hot coffee to
the fire fighters. After the blaze had
been extinguished the apparatus put
away he sent the men to Mondloch's
and Schoenhoff's for hot sandwiches
as slight appreciation of the SPLEEN
did service they rendered.
Saturday was the first time the
efficiency of the new waterworks sys-
tenn was put to the test fighting a
fire. Only portion of the available
auxiliary power for fire fighting pur-
poses was brought into play but there
was an abundance Of pressure and
water flow to meet all require
ments. Although the pumps were
kept going for several hours the
water level in the wells was not low
cred.

DICTIONARIES DEFEAT ALUMNI

The basket ball game at the Junior
High School Auditorium, Friday eve
ming between the Legion team and
former High School basket shooters
who were home for the holidays, is
said to have been fast and furious.
The former Service men, smarting
under defeats in their two former
starts of the season, set the pace, and
finally wore down resistance, the final
score being something like "a to 10
in favor Of the Legionaires. The AL

The locals have vowed that they will

ceived a call from the congregation at
Bertha, Mimi. The Zion congrega-
ton would not hear to this, and
unanimously requested that their
pastor and friend return the call to
the Bertha church and remain at
Sank Centre.
"The Bertha congregation, while
it is no larger perhaps, than the Sank
Centre parish, has it's own school and
parochial teacher, and is very live
and growing parish" Rev. Stein stat
ed to the Herald few days ago.
"But so is my Zion Lutheran church
at Sauk Centre. We have been grow
ing and are still growing.
Financially, Rev. Stein would have
been just as well off at least at Ber-
tina as in Sank Centre, but money is
not the thing that he is living for, be-
lieving as he does, in the Divinity OF
the congregational call. He feels
that there is much more work that he
can do with his people in this COM
munity. He did not know that his
name was even being considered for
the Bertha charge until he received
thir call.
Spanking further to the Herald Rev.
Stein said, 81 love my people, old
and young, and the dear children of
which we have over hundred. l
would have been willing to accept the
Bertha call but am more than will
ing to abide by the request of my
congregation
Upon being asked as to what he
ascribed his success and the wonderful
growth of the Zion congregation,
Rev. Stein said: Through the preach
ing of the good old doctrine, the sim
cere cooperation of my congregation
and its officers. My people have al
ways been with me; we have worked
together and God blesses our work. "
Zion congregation was organized
in about 1898 but Rev. Stein was
the first resident pastor, coming here
in June 1915 from Devils Lake, N.
d. At that time the church services
were conducted in the small Nor
wegion Lutheran church of the city,
but in 1918 the Baptist church prop
erty was purchased as also was the
G. II. Vandesteeg home near by, for
a parsonage. When Rev. Stein took
up the work in Sank Centre there was
but comparatively small number of
families affiliated with Zion church.
Through the zeal of Rev. Stein and
the cooperation of his people, the
parish now contains about rs fami-
lies and ministers to 800 souls. Be-

The annual meeting of the Zion
Lutheran church, held Tuesday after
noon, Jan. 8, was well attended by the
members of the parish. The report
of the treasurer showed that the re-
ceipts of the congregation for the
past year had been larger than any
previous year with the exception of
the year when the church property
was purchased.
In every way the year 1923 has
been one of the most successful in
the history of the congregation. The
Zion Lutheran church, under the
active leadership of Rev. Julius A.
Stein, is in a most healthy condition.
Every department of the church is
active. The Sunday School, under
the leadership of faithful teachers
has also shown substantial increase
in attendance and interest during the
year.

Service Not Appreciated
by County Commissioners
Legal Publications to Be Made in St.
Cloud Times in 1924-A Limited
Circulation

The Stearns county commissioners
met in annual session Tuesday and
elected Peter Lair of St. Cloud as
chairman of the board.
The first business of Importance to
be considered by the board was the
letting of the contract for the coun-
ty printing for the year 1924. Two
bids were received, one by the ST..
Cloud Times tied up with Der Nord-
stern, and the other by the Sank Cen
tire Herald affiliated with the nine
other weekly newspapers of the coun-
ty outside of st. Cloud. At the
1923 session the Herald was awarded
the contract at price slightly below
the legal rate, and for the first time
in the history of Stearns county, or
for many years at least, the tax pay
ers outside of the city of st. Cloud,
knew what the commissioners were
doing. The service rendered by the
Herald and its colleagues during the
past year was very prompt and salts
factory, as the board admitted, and
the Herald bid saved the county a
trifle Of $1100 over what the Times
asked for doing the work, and which
it had always received.
At the meeting of the board Tues
day the Herald put in bid for the
papers outside of St. Cloud, at a
trifle lower, rate even than the bid
they offered year ago. On the
financial statement, the big item of
the year, the Herald's bid was zoe per
folio for the first insertion, and 3Oc
per folio for each of the two subse-
quent insertions. The Times bid on
the same work was roc for the first
insertion, and 35c per folio for each
subsequent insertion. On this par
ticular piece of work, the Herald's
bid would have saved the county
about $136, if this years statement
is as large as it was in 1923. The
Herald's bid for the commissioners
proceedings was 75c per folio, and
the Times bid was zoe per folio. The
Herald's bid for all other county
printing was at the legal rate of 9Oc
per folio, while the Times bid was
zoe for all of the legal work. A
check up of the work done last year
discloses the fact that if the legal
notices published in 1924 are of the
same character as those published in
1928, the Herald's bid was about SO
below that of the Times bid in the
aggregate. However, the election
ballots will be published this year
and there is probability that the
Herald bid would have cost the coun.
ty not to exceed $500 more than
that of the Times.
The Times was awarded the con-
tract on the basis that they were the
lowest bid. In prior years one of the
strong arguments used by the Times
in getting the contract at the full
legal rate, was service, claiming that
the board should take into considera-
ton the question Of service and cir

sides the Zion church at Sank Centre,
Rev. Stein also serves small con-
gregation at West Union during the
winter months. In the summer time
the West Union Lutherans attend
services at the Sank Centre church.
There is no parochial school in con-
junction with the Zion church of this
city, but during the regular school
year Rev. Stein gives religious in
struction to the children of his peo-
pie several times each week.
While the pastor of Zion Luther
an church attends studiously and
zealously to the work of his parish,
and his people, nevertheless he has
many friends outside of his church
in Sank Centre and community who
will be mighty pleased to- know that
he has declined the call to the Bertha
charge.

les of six persons who were drowned
when an automobile broke through
the ice of Lake Andrews, six miles
southwest of Alexandria.
Five of the dead, Mrs. Pearl Glade
and her two small children, and Mrs.
Rolo Glade and her one child, were
passengers in the machine, and the
sixth, Rudolph Wolfe, member of
the party who had selected to walk
across the lake, persisted while help

Carl's sister.

Rolo Glade, driver of the car, to get
off a travelled route across the lake

Glades and Wolfe, who had been Wis
iting neighbors, were returning to
their home across the lake when the
car went through. Carl Glade and
Wolfe had walked home, the others
went in the car. The walkers got
their first intimation of the fate of
their party when they walked into
the hole through which the car had
plunged. Floundering in the icy
water was Doris Glade. Carl Glade
and Wolfe managed to get the girl
upon solid ice, but Wolfe drowned
in doing so. Carl then fought his way
to safety.
After Carl had reached safety,
Rolo Glade, the driver Of the car,
came to the surface, and got out of
the hole with Carl's help. The broth

Dayton Herbert Buried at
Ashley Cemetery Saturday
Deceased Was Well Known and High
ly Respected Resident of This
Section for Many Years

Dayton S. Herbert, brief mention
of whose death was made in the Her
aid of last week, was born in La
Grange county, Ind, June 2, 1849.
He came to Minnesota and Sank
Centre in 1870 and made his home
with S. M. Herbert, an uncle, until
his marriage to Miss Marry Salmond,
November 1875. To this union one
child was born, Mrs. George Grund-
man, residing east of Sank Centre.
Following his marriage, Mr.. Her.
bert purchased the old Haney farm
near West Union where the family
resided until the death of Mrs. Her
bert Dec. 9, 1885.
For the past 20 years the deceased
made his home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Head residing west of the city.
He had been in poor health for the
past 16 months following a paralytic
stroke. He was patient sufferer un-

The Herald editor did not know the
deceased but those WHIT enjoyed his
acquaintance and friendship speak
in the highest terms of him as a man
and as a citizen. In his active years
he was keen and alert, taking an
active part in affairs that worked for
the best interest of his community.
Simple funeral services were con-

In spite Of the extreme cold wealth
er large number of old friends and
acquaintance attended the funeral
services of this good man.
The immediate relatives left to
mourn are-the daughter, Mrs. George
Grundman, two grandchildren, Dola

Frank Hoskin,- Long Beach, Calf. /;
James Herbert, a brother of James,
town, N. D., an aunt, Mrs. E. l.. Her
bert, and cousin, John w. Herbert
of San Luis Obisco, CAL; and l.. M.

Mr.. Herbert was a very dear
friend of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Head for years, and during the last
20 years of his life he made his home
with these kindly people. This
friendship grew and expanded. He
was given every loving care and con-
sideration by Mr.. and Mrs. Head and
his every need was cared for during
the 16 months duration of his illness.
The Herald joins other friends in
extending to Mr.. and Mrs. George
Grundman and Mr.. and Mrs. Head,
sincere sympathy in their bereave-
ment.

culation, rather than the price asked
for the work. The board, by to
l vote, awarded the contract to the
Esshnes after discussing and deciding
the matter in executive session. The
Herald is confident that Commission
er Bergman of Sank Centre is the
man voting for the Herald to give
the entire county service on the pro
position.
The taxpayers of Stearns county
owe the newspapers represented by
the Herald, debt of gratitude in any
event, because if it had not been for
the activity of these newspapers, the
printing would have cost them over
$1,100 more in 1924, and they would
have paid full legal rate this year.

A Terrible Catastrophe
Near Alexandra TUESDAY,
Night---Six People Drown

owner, who summoned help from this
city. The trio were given medical
attention and it was believed they
would suffer no i'll effects from the
exposure.
Doris Glade said that when the
automobile hit the water she grabbed
one of Mrs. Carl Glade's small chill
dren and carried the child to the
surface but, came up under the ice.
A brief struggle brought her into the
open water of the hole, still holding
the child. She was unable, however
to get footing on the ice, and final
ly let go of the youngster. Just as
she was about to sink, exhausted,
Wolfe and Carl Glade fell into the
hole and rescued her.
At one time all nine persons were
struggling in the treacherous open
water. AS fast as they could cling
to the ice it gave way under their
weight. when the mothers were last
seen they still were holding the
children. \
Word of the tragedy reached the
city while the annual meeting of the
Commercial club was being held and
a party of business men, including
DR.. A. B. Haskell, mayor, and DR.. C.
L. Cole, chief of the fire department
hurried to Lake Andrews in automo-
biles.
1t has been only in the last few
days that automobiles have been driv-
en- across the lake. The lake has been
frozen for some time but the ice near
the middle of the body of water had
been considered treacherous. After
the cold wave last week, automobile
drivers began using the lake and had
followed route that Rollo Blade
was taking when he started to drive
two families across the ice.
