MARY PIcKFoRD'S LATEST

There are laughs galore in Mary
Pickford's new United Artists Cor
poration production, Little Annie
Rooney" coming to the Caughren
theatre Jan 8 and s.
One of the funniest scenes is a
satire on a "Wild West Show" stag
ed by Mary, as leader of gang OF
boys, and her pals.
Mary impersonates sheriff in this
skit, wearing, long trousers, big
star and cowboy hat. She rides in
to the scene on saw-horse, with a
broom for a tail.
The shouts of derision that, greet
this entrance from the 'thard-boiled'
tenement kids who are the audience,
lead to more humorous situations, un-
til the "circus" eliminates in a howl
of laughter. -
Miss Pickford is right at home in
these scenes, and her clever clown
ing, together with the antics of some
of the most talented youngsters in the
movies, make a screen classic.
''Little Annie Rooney" is the type
of picture that "The Worlds Sweet
heart excells in, and it IL a photo
drama that should make the hit of the
season in Sank Centre.

community Christmas Pro-
gram a Splendid Success
Packed House Enjoys the Services at
Junior High School Auditorium
Friday Afternoon

The Community Christmas program
at the Junior High School Auditor
ium Friday afternoon was enjoyed by
an audience of fully 1000, most of
whom We're tots ranging from 5 to
10 years of age. Mayor William
Parker opened the program in short
and appropriate talk after which the
audience sang one verse of "Silent
Night" Three splendid tableaus,
typifying the Christmas season were
shown by groups of young people
While the tableaus were being shown
the Community Chorus sang Christ
mas Carols.
At the conclusion of the program
Santa Claus appeared announcing
his coming with the changing of
sleigh bells. He told the Riddles that
he had visited Sank Centre the eve
ming before and when he discovered
that Community Christmas tree had
been erected and that program was
to be held Christmas afternoon he de-
cided it was his duty to come back L.
He stated that his RENDERS were very
tired and that it was necessary for
him to use an airplane.
At the conclusion of the program
Chairman Krohm and his committee
assisted Santa with the distribution
of 1000 packages of choice candy in
dainty Christmas boxes. The aud
fence was then dismissed and i'm
mediate adjournment was taken to
the Community tree corner Third and
Main where Christmas carols were
sung. A moment later Santa appear
ed from the top of the Palmer House
with flood of light back of him. He
waved the children fond farewell
and disappeared.
The Community Christmas tree will
be an annual event in Sank Centre in
the future.

shipped for Christmas trade if not
sold can be stored temporarily in the
freezer and used later during the
spring and summer months, while
hen turkeys if not sold at Christmas
are almost drug on the market. 1t
[ is quite evident that the tendency is
for a division in prices between hens
and Young Toms that will be gener-
ally effective during 1926.
There has been a good demand for
dressed fowl and chickens, although
at the close Of last weeks trading the
market was a little easier, but con-
ditions are expected to improve after
the first Of the year, with lighter re-
ceipts. 80
/ Receipts of eggs continue to show
an increase as compared with the
previous week and the same week last
year. The market today at Chicago
shows an advance of cent dozen
on fresh firsts, influenced no doubt,
by the cold wave overspreading the
plains states from the Mississippi
Valley.
There is still large stock of stor-
age eggs to be disposed of and it is
not likely that until storage stocks
are considerably reduced, there will
be any material advance in the. quo
tations on fresh eggs. Moderate fuc-
tuations from day to day, due to the
varying supply and demand will in
f1uence the course of the market.

Sell Good Roads Is the
Slogan of the Traveller
Commercial Salesmen's Journal Re-
Gently Points Out How Better
Roads Increase Trade

Many travelling statesmen calling on
Sank Centre merchants and business
men carry good roads for a "side
line" Better highways are proving
trade builders for them and their
customers and with the automobile
are enabling the commercial men to
cover larger territories with greater
comfort and convenience and at less
expense.
The Sample Case-official journal
of the United Commercial Travellers
gives much space to good roads
articles and that on "Sell Good
Roads, in recent issue by H. S. Nc
Cauley yielded these excerpts: -
One topic on which the Democrat
and Republican, the Fundamentals
and the Liberal, the capitalist and
the laborer, and in fact the opposing
sides in any dispute can all agree is
that of roads. The country needs
more good roads. Everybody says
so. Nobody denies it =,
Yet with persons of every opinion
agreeing on this one topic, good
roads are not being constructed fast
enough to take care of the increase
in vehicular traffic. There is not
sufficient increase in first class road
area to park adequately the new
machines turned out each year. And
the reason is the lack-or the imag7
med lack-of money. -,
It needs small effort to persuade
the salesman who travels the rural
districts in an automobile that an inn
provement in the highways he trav-
erses would result in greater earnings
for himself. More calls per day,
lessened repair bills, greater demand
due to easier trips by the farmer to
the store; all these would swell his
sales. And all of this would be pos
sible if the town, the township, the
county or state could be persuaded
to invest the necessary money. IA
Yet while the salesman may rage
against the roads that jolt his vital
organs, wear out his car and reduce
his profits, he has better opportuni-
ties than any other good roads apostle
to drive home his better highway ar
guments.

We lost our dearest friend,

How we miss your loving face, -
But you left us to remember,
None on earth can take your place. a.

Douglas County Farmer
Gored to Death by Bull
Body Found in Barn Yard Twenty
Four Hours After Attack-Was
81 Years Old

While out in the barnyard doing
chores at his farm home in South
Hill township last Friday afternoon,
Anton Nelson, was killed by his g.
year-old Shorthorn bull. While no
one witnessed the accident there was
evidence that the bull had knocked
the old gentleman down and hunted
and tramped him to death. His body
was not found until "a hours later
and lay outside the fence frozen stiff.
Mr.. Nelson had evidently been able
to crawl under the fence and died
shortly afterwards as his body was
terribly bruised and the chest crush
ed in. Members of the family made
an unsuccessful search for him that
evening and the next day around the
buildings and in the neighborhood,
but did not find the body until late
Saturday afternoon.
Anton Nelson was born March %,
1861, in Jutland, Denmark, and was
81 years of age. He was married in
Denmark in 1883 to Sena Nelson and
seven years later emigrated with the
family to the United States, first
settleing in Freedom county living at
Alden and Geneva for about seven
years. From there they moved to
GAINESVILLE, Clay county, where they
lived four years.
In 1900 the family moved to Doug
las county and lived for several years
in Osakis, later going onto a farm
in Orange township, and four years
ago locating on farm in Spruce Hill
township about 10 miles north of
Osakis-Osakis Review.

INQUESTS MAY YIELD
ACCIDENT REMEDIES
Traffic Director Attends Sessions
to Find Causes of Mishaps.
Street Survey Due Soon.

Director of Traffic EIdridge plans to
study facts brought out at coroners' in
quests as one means of getting at the
causes of accidents.
The director inaugurated this policy
today by personally attending the
hearing at the morgue into the death
of a boy who was struck by an auto
truck last week.
Mr.. Eldridge said his duties may
not permit him to be present at all
inquests, but he will endeavor to keep
in touch with these proceedings be-
cause he feels that one of the most
effective ways of preventing accidents
in future is to find out how they oc-
cur.
Map of Accident Spots.
Plans already have been made to
keep in the directors office map
showing, by the placing of pins, where
accidents occur. When an unusual
number of collisions occur at a given
point the traffic Office will make a study
of the situation to find out what is re-
sponsible.
Col I. C. Moller, who accepted ap-
pointment last week as engineering
aSSlSIaut 10 MI EiuEioSS, Was III con-
ference with his chief today, laying
the foundation for the traffic survey
which he is to make of conditions on
the streets.
The plan is to have Col. Moller
gather as much data s possible with
in the next few weeks to guide Mr..
Eldridge in drawing up the new regu-
lations that are to become effective in
May.
Fred Seller, who has been appointed
administrative assistant to Mr.. Eld-
ridge, will report for duty Wednesday.
