Building & Loan Meeting
Well Attended Wednesday
J. F. Scott, President of Minnesota
Assn, Made An Interesting and
Instructive Address

Wednesday evening a good sized
audience assembled at the Community
Club rooms to hear the address OF
John F. Scott, president of the Min
nesota Building and Loan Association
of St. Paul. Mr.. Scott was formerly
connected with the st. Paul Federal
Bank and supervised the loaning of
over one million dollars.
During his address he thoroughly
explained the inner working of the
Minnesota Building and Loan Asso-
citation and among other things said
that there were ten thousand loan as
sociations functioning in this coun-
try with total assets of three and one
half million dollars which is more
than the combined capital of all the
national banks.
Minnesota ranks twenty-fourth
place in Building and Loan. In the
state there are eighty-three Building
and Loan associations with assets OF
eighteen and one-half million dollars,
and total membership of forty
thousand. Mr.. SCOTS mission was to
meet with the advisory boards in the
approved towns in Stearns county,
which are namely, Sank Centre, St.
Cloud, and Paynesville.
Minnesota Building and Loan has
$500 members in twenty-one coun-
ties, and the matured value of their
shares are over $9,400,000. Of this
number of shareholders, Sank Centre
has rs who are paying over $500. 90
per month. Mr.. Scott is assisted in
this territory by A. Roy Hill District
Manager who is located at st. CLOUD
and w. P. Arndt, county manager al
Sank Centre.

Sank Centre Country Club
Directors Elected for 1924
Organization in Splendid Shape-Golf
Enthusiasts Rapidly Increasing
c. E..Harrison, New President

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Sank Centre Country
Club at the Community Club rooms
Thursday evening of last week dis
closed the fact that the organization
is in splendid shape. The number of
those talking up golf is increasing
rapidly and it is expected that the re-
ceipts from dues in 1924 will make
the club entirely self-sustaining.
There was quite a spirited contest
practically the entire, old board was
reelected, the only new members be-
ing L. w. Whitson and J. E. Bonner.
The directors are: D. B. Caughren,
DR.. A. L. Blk, DR.. A. F. Moynihan,
F. w. Sprague V. T. Conklin, E. A..
Richards, w. NJ. Parker, Chas E. Har-
rison
At the directors meeting following
the officers elected were: President,
Chas. E. Harrison; Secretary, E. A.
Richards who declined reelection
vice president, DIR. A. L. BliN; secre-
tary, V. T. Conklin; treasurer, F.W.
Sprague.
President Harrison was given full
power to appoint the committees.
The committee personnel will not
necessarily be confined to the direc-
tors. 1t is the plan to conduct the
golf course along more rigid lines the
coming season. Ground-keeper
Smith will start work April first this
year because of the earliness of the
season. AS matter of fact a large
number of enthusiasts have already
taken up the sport and hitting the
old pea on the nose with their old
time vigor. The present indications
are that there will be 200 active golf
friends this season.

HILLERUD'S NEW FRONT

The appearance of the Hellerud
Hardware store has been wonderful
ly improved by the installation of
new and thoroughly up-to-date front
and show window.
The front is of the latest and most.
popular in show window construction,
having panels of prism glass across
the top, down to the height of the
top of the door, and fine large panels
of plate glass from there on down to
the level of the floor. The entrance
to the store has been moved from the
center to the east side of the building
where doors open not only into the
Hardware store on the first floor,
but also to the stairway leading to
the electrical shop on the second
floor.
Mr.. Hillerud has spent consider.
able time as well as money in PLAN
ming and installing this new front, and
now has one of the most up-tO-date
show windows to be found anywhere.
What framework there is to support
the glass panels is of gun metal
finished copper, properly reinforced.
Passing the store, one is immediate
" impressed with the fine looking ap-
pearance, and upon entering the
building anyone will also note very
great advantage in that the daylight
gets to the various parts of the show
room in a much better manner than
it did with the old front.
Several new fronts have been put
in in the business places in Sank
Centre lately, and that Of the Killer
nd Hardware Company takes it's
place among the best.

Never Recovered from Appendicitis
Operation-Had Been Resident of
This Community Sixteen Years

Wednesday morning, March 10Th,
at 1000 o'clock, as stated in the
Herald of last week, occurred the
death of the late James Lawrence
Hylaman at the University Hospital
Minneapolis, following an illness of
about six weeks, during which time
he was a sufferer from appendicitis,
and who, on the Friday prior to his
death had undergone an operation for
his affliction from which he never
fully recovered.
Responding to message Tues
day announcing the serious condition
of his father, Elmer left for Mime
apolis on the first bus, and reached
his fathers bedside several hours be-
fore the end came.
James l.. Hylaman was born
March Is, 1862 in Whiteside coun.
ty, Ill. His youth was spent in the
state of his nativity where he re-
ceived his education and where, as a
young man, he was engaged in farm
ing.
In 1886 then a young man of "a
years, he went to Ida Grove, Ia,
where he was united in marriage to
Ida May Barrett, Feb. 18. To this
union two sons were born: Roy w.
Hylaman who died July Is, 1915
from injuries received in motor
cycle accident, and Elmer c.. Hyla-
man of this city who with the wife
and mother, are the sole survivors OF
About the year 1908, Mr.. Hyla-
man moved his family to Sank Gen.
tire where they have since resided.
Mr.. Hylaman had engaged in num-
Der of business enterprises and know
ing him as we have known him, we
could sing his praises on and on,
never exaggerating the kindness, the
generosity, or the honesty of pur-
pose which actuated him in his at
titude toward his fellowmen. De

ers, he avoided it in his own life and
actions as one avoids an evil thing,
and the trust and confdnce placed
in James Lawrence Hylaman by the
host of friends he has won through
out his years of close association have
never suffered jolt or jar.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist Episcopal church Saturday
afternoon at 2:30, Rev. S. S. Wyand
officiating. Interment was made in
Greenwood cemetery. The Herald
joins with the many friends Of the be-
reaved ones in extending sympathy to
the family in their severe loss.

Two Harbors H. S. Quint
State Basket Ball Champions
Moorhead, Champions of This Dis
trict, Get Cup for Displaying
Best Sportsmanship
(By w. B. Morgan)

Two Harbors, surprise team of the
twelfth annual state tournament,
won the 1924 interscholaristic basket
ball championship of Minnesota Fri
day night, defeating South High
school, Minneapolis, by Fl to IL
count. The game was one of the
most brilliant and desperately fought
battle in the annals of Minnesota
high school athletics, and was played
in the Kenwood Armory before a
capacity crowd estimated at 10000.
South High school was a favorite
to win, but the Two Harbors cagers,
with a. smashing style of ball, and
uncanny accuracy in scoring, upset
the dope. For the second consecu-
tive year the state championship goes
to a range team, Aurora having won
the crown in 1928.
The games, on Wednesday showed
the following results:
Macintosh 19-Morton 16.
Two Harbors 17-Princeton Ia.
st. Cloud 29-Fairmont Z.
ybhnson, st. Paul -Winona II.
Tyler -Montiviedo IL.
MoorheadF 22-Willmar 10.
Owatonna 26-Pipestone Is.
South Mime. 22-Kaseta IA.
The winners of these games played
on Thursday, the results were:
Two Harbors 31-MacIntosh Is.
St. Cloud 28-St. Paul 8.
Moorhead 25-Tyler 18.
Minneapolis 19-Owatonna IA.
On Thur. day evening lie mi
finals were played. Two Harbors won
easily from st. Cloud % to Is. Min
neapolis had but little trouble in
eliminating Moorhead, "a to IA.
In order to determine the winner
of third place St. Cloud met Moor
head in preliminary, played just be-
fore the final clash between Mime
apolis and Two Harbors. Moorhead
won out 20 to 16. This team repre-
scented the second district, to which
Sank Centre belongs. Moorhead
eliminated Fergus Falls at Alexan-
dria for district honors, in March.
In addition to winning third place,
the Moorhead quint won the large
silver loving cup for showing the best
craftsmanship during the tournament.
Earl Wamback of Moorhead was
placed on the all-state team, which is
the biggest single honor any high
SCuOW ddlcOC Coh gam 4hO wy c
from this district went farther than
any one here expected, but all credit
is due them for they played fine
style of ball. :,
The players selected for the all.
state team were: Wambick of Moor
head, Gasser of st. Cloud; johnson
of Two Harbors; Anderson of Two
Harbors; and Nydahl of Minneapo-
lis. :.
Nydahl was the outstanding star in
the entire tournament and should
have been selected captain of the all,
state quint, but Anderson received
the honors.
The Tournament was a splendid
success, and has paved the way fol-
other successful athletic programs
Arnold Oss, of the state university,
deserves much praise for the splendid
management of this annual event.

Herrin and Mob Rule,

What is the matter with Herrin,
ILL.,? 1t has become one of the chronic
trouble spots on the American map.
1t came into unpleasant prominence
about eighteen months ago, when a
gang of strikers raided Il coal mine
and massacred a number Of the work.

ings in connection with the enforce
ment of the prohibition law. Posses of
citizens reputed to be members of the
ku KluX klan have conducted raids
upon speakeasieS. A counter organi-
Zation has been formed, and conflicts
between the two have occurred, with
bloodshed resulting. State troops have
been summoned and dispersed, and
now again in consequence of renewal
Of the troubles they are on the scene
tagonistic groups.
1t would seem that Herrin has no
adequate sense Of law. No one was
ever punished for the mine murders of
1922. After protracted trials the ac-
cused were acquitted. The present
disorders may be the direct result Of
this fragrant failure Of justice. The
mob got away" with the wholesale
crime at the mine a year and half
ago, and now the mob is again at
work in defiance of the law. 1t is true
that one mob is acting ostensibIy in
the name of law and order for the en-
forcement of prohibition. But that is
believed to be merely an excuse for
violent procedure.
These occurrences at Herrin show
the danger of mob action, whether Or
ganized or not. They show the evil
of ku Kluxism. There is no safety in
the assumption Of law enforcement by
voluntary groups Of masked men who
cannot be held responsible for their
actions, because they cannot be identi-
fed. Tolerance Of their lawlessness

OF public morals is virtually surrender

toy without any prospect OF practical
usefulness. Today it is one Of the veri.
table essentials Of life. And 1t is only
a very short time actually since the
radio came into use. When that was
developed as a technical possibility it
was rated merely as another phenom-
enon without any particular value.
Since then radio has been applied to
navigation with wonderful results for
the prevention Of disaster, to aviation,
to business, to news distribution and
latterly to public entertainment.
Now with the telephone and radio
working together it is demonstrated
that this vast continent can be
spanned by the voice. A limitless
number Of people can hear distinctly
words of conversation between
speakers at the extreme edges of the
country. Thousands of miles do not
count in this matter. The length of

Repeatedly it has been observed
during the past two or three years
that by means of radio any speaker at
a central point can reach the ears of
millions of the people simultaneously
The possibilities of this method OF in.
stant and widespread communication
have not been fully realized yet by the
country. Last nights demonstration
of combined telephony and radio
drama tically illustrates the potentiali-
ties of this means Of acquainting the
entire American people with any
proposition that can be expressed in
words within the bare compass of
their utterance.
