Sank Centre Folks Do Not
Attend Hight Class Movies
Many Attractions Brought to This
City Before Twin City Show
ing Are Losing Ventures

From the patronage received by the
Caughren Theatre it is evident that
the people of this community do not
appreciate the high character of the
program furnished the people of
Sank Centre by Mr.. and Mrs. Sug-
den. There probably isn't theatre
in the entire northwest which pre-
sents as high type of motion pictures
as are being shown at the Caughren
theatre. Many times since the Sug-
dens took over the property last Aug
ust films of outstanding worth have
been presented at this theatre before
they have been shown at the larger
theatres in st. Paul and Minneapo-
lis. One of the latest of these was
Jackie Coogan in "a Boy of Elan
ders," which appeared at the Caugh-
rem Theatre couple of weeks ago
and which is now being shown at the
large State theatre in Minneapolis,
the first showing in that city.
None of the former owners of the
Caughren have presented for the edi-
fication of the people of Sank Centre
and vicinity, as high class and as new
pictures as are being shown by Mr..
and Mrs. Sugden.
1t is to be regretted that the people
of the community do not show their
appreciation by more liberal patron
age because beyond question many of
the later releases have been shown at
the Caughren at a distinct financial
loss.

Decided Improvement to
City's Business Section
Fischer Block Nearly Completed
Store Fronts Installed by Messrs
Schoenhoff and Vandesteee

The new brick building erected on
Main street by Baker Fred Fischer
takes place of a portion of the Tobey
block recently destroyed by fire, is
nearly completed. The building is a
credit to the owner and greatly adds
to the appearance of the west side of
Main Street, between Third and
Fourth. Mr.. Fischer expects to be
ready for business, in his new build
ing, the Herald understands, in the
course Of couple Of weeks.
The double store building, diagonal
ly across the street from Mr.. Fischer's
new building, owned and occupied by
j. B. Schoenhoff, with his Gopher
Prairie Inn, and G. H. Vandesteeg
who will soon remove his stock of
jewelry into the room formerly &C.
cupied by Pangburn Grocery Com
pany, presents, with its new brown
pressed brick front and u-to-date
show windows, a decidedly metrop-
oils appearance. 1t will be month
yet before Mr.. Vandeateeg has his
room completed and his stock re-
moved to his new location. He has
disposed of the building he now oc-
cupies to Frank Pangburn and the
Herald understands the latter gentle
man will convert the old jewelry store
into a seed store.

USE OF ELECTRICITY
RAPIDLY EXPANDING
Confident Prediction Made of Con.

NO SLACK IN ACTIVITIES
100000 Phones Added to Bell
System in Five Years.
BY j. e. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 21.-Whatever
the trend of business in other in
dustries, may be, there is every in
dication that electrical companies
will not slacken their activities in
1924. The use of electricity is ex-
pandng so rapidly that public util-
ity companies are having difficulty
in keeping pace with the demand, ac-
Boston. prominent factor in the
electrical development field.
The prediction of continued pros
perity for makers of electrical ap-
pliances. according to p. H. Gadsden.
vice president of the United Gas Inn
provement Company of Philadelphia,
rests on the fact that experience has
emphasized more and more that the
public wants service and must have
it. "A community can grow no faster
than it's public utilities" he concluded.
Growth OF American r. 4 r. business.
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. in Offering to its
10000 shareh olders $150,000,0O0 OF
new stock, emphasized the fact that
more than 3,2OO,000 telephones nad
been added to the Bell system in the
last five years; that the demand for
new equipment had been heavier In
the last year than ever before, and
that in the present year officials ex-
pect Is per cent more telephones 20
be installed than in 1898. The devel-
opment of equipment and service by
the company is known to be planned
thirty years in advance, with tre-
mendous expenditures in various sec
tionS through various subsidiaries.
In California alone the Pacific Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company will
spend $40,000,000 before next January.
During the year." said B. c. Carroll,
vice president of the company, I'VE
expect a net gain of 10000 stations.
The $4o,000.000 will be expended for
additions to lands, buildings, equip
ment and outside plants, including
underground conduit. underground Ca

paratus."

Announcements OF new water

TENS continue to be made almost
daily, and there is now under con-
struction developments involving
about 100000 horsepower Most of
this power will be needed to supply

pittsburgh railways have placed or

Standard Steel Car Company, the
Pressed Steel Car Company and the
Bradley Car Company.
Development OF Radio.
The development of radio equipment
has been even more remarkable than
any other feature of the electrical
equipment business. The Radio Cor
poration OF America declares $780,
100000 was spent last year for radio
equipment, and an increase of so per
cent this year would not surprise en-
thusiasts. 1t Is expected that 900
broadcasting stations will be in ope-
ration in this country before the end
of the year.
The installation of radio equipment
in hospitals where war veterans are
treated in this district alone will
account for some $4,000 worth of
equipment. Hotel owners are consid-
ering seriously placing a radio re-
ceiving head piece or loud speaker in
each room, so that guests may listen
in on programs received over a CEN
trail set by the payment of a small
sum, such as is charged for use of
hotel telephones, or free.
Steamship companies are figuring
on installations to run to each berth
for the amusement of their pas
sengers and to take their minds of
the possibility Of seasickness.

Tracing Mr.. McAdoo's career
