Held Tuesday Afternoon
Laid to Rest in Greenwood Cemetery
Beside Remains of Wife-Was 81
Years Old

The funeral of H. D. Orendorf,
who passed away in California Jan.
II, 1926, was held from the Meth
odist church in this city Tuesday af-
ternoon.
The deceased was born at Herli-
mer, N. Y, Feb. 6, 1889. He came
west when young man and first set
tied at Lake Mills, Wis. He was unit
ed in marriage at Lake Mills to Miss
Lydite Hughson about 1860. They
moved to Minnesota in the late COS
and took up a homestead in Kan
dota township. The records of this
township show that Mr.. Orendorf
cast the first vote ever polled in that
township. II
The old homestead was still in his
name at the time of his death. In
has been occupied for several years
by Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Lockead :.
Mr.. Orendorf became resident of
Sauk Centre many years ago. Mrs.
Orendorf passed away 1924. Two
daughters, Mrs. w. A. Rosenield,
of Rock Island, ILL.,, and Miss Carrie
of this city are the. immediate fam
lily left ito mourn.

and the transfer of cash effected the
youth proceeded to strip the spark
plugs from the Justin car to disman-
tle*it and then climbed into their own
car and raced over the cutoff road to
Waite Park. Some SIS in a separate
pocket were missed by the despera-
does.
Justin was forced to walk to a
farm house to call for aid and it was
twenty minutes later before he could
get in call to the police station
here. The police took the descrip-
ton of the youths and the car and
gave it to officers on the beat and to
surrounding towns in the hope of
heading the culprits off. The license
plates had been removed from the
coupe in which the highwaymen rode,
Justin noticed during the robbery.
Justin was told that he must call
the sheriff's office to get further ac-
ton on the investigation of the crime
as the place of robbery was beyond
the jurisdiction of the police depart
meft. For some reason Sheriff
Schooner was not notified of the
crime until late yesterday.
The youths who staged the robbery
were evidently around twenty years
of age and wore dark caps and over
coats. There is no way of telling,
police stated, whether or not one of
them might be the lad who robbed
the Crozier-Olds coal company office
here last week.
No trace was seen of car CORE
spending to the one which the rob-
bers used.
Several Ford coupes were halted
here and on the pavement, but were
immediately given a clean bill of
health by officers who were assured
beyond doubt of tho innocense of the
parties halted as all were known and
none of the occupants corresponded
to the descriptions given.
Deputies Droops and Anderson
halted every Ford coupe on the paw
ed highway and it is certain that es-
cape was not made over that thoro-
fare as a checkup down the hne was
made.-Monday's ST. Cloud Journal

Road Money Slumps As Use
of Automobile Increases
Minnesota Highway Funds This Year
Held Less Than 1912 Outlays In
Proportion to Numbers of Cars

Minnesota funds for all highways
state, county and township and in
cluding all roads hereabouts- this
year will total less than $50 for each
Minnesota-owned motor vehicle US
ing the roads.
On the same basis, more than twice
as much was invested in better public
highways in 1921, Minnesota's banner
good roads year.
And compared with the 1926 figure
under $50, is $86.5O expended on
roads over the state during 1912
when Minnesota made little or mo
claim to good roads distinction.
The trend of road outlays in re.
lation to road usage as outlined in
the foregoing is from a current high
way bulletin on carefully prepared
figures
Good roads are of far more univer-
sal benefit and value now than ever
before, the bulletin points out. To
day there is nearly one motor vehicle
Tor every men, women and children
IN the state, while there was but one
for every "a five years ago and only
one for every SO of population back
IN 1912, it adds.
Modern motor cars and trucks are
heavier and cover far greater mile
ages than the old horse drawn rigs,
and with their rapid multiplication in
number have increased highway de-
mands and wear and tear many times
over. Road funds have been in
creased from year to year, official
records show, but road usage has in
creased many times as fast. High-
way financing in Minnesota is not
Keeping pace with economic highway
demands.
In Stearns and every other county
of Minnesota, the problem of ade-
quate highways, main and local, is
becoming more and more serious
steadily more difficult of solution and
burdensome upon the people, the
bulletin asserts.
Shared by every auto and truck
owner in Sank Centre and vicinity.
Minnesota's 1926 motor Transports
bill on 100000 cars and trucks, is
placed in the bulletin at $3OO,OOO,.
600. Less than tenth of the amount
will be spent on Minnesota roads,
trunk lines and feeders.
The 100000 motor vehicles aver
aging only 5000 miles each will trav-,
ell 5000, 100000 miles. At cents a
mile the operating expense will be
210,000,000. Probably $50,OOO,-

RICHARD DIX IN
 LET'S GET MARRIED
Norma Shearer Also at Palace
 Next week

Beginning Sunday night ,the New Palace program for three days will bc Richard Dix In Lets Get Mar rltd' and Norma Shearer In "The Devils Circus"
 After having completed "Woman- hood" Richard Dix felt the need of doing little automobile driving. In that picture Of the wild and woody west, he did a whole lot Of work on the backs of various horses. But on being assigned the leading role in Lets Get Married" modern comedy farce, Richard said here's where I come down to earth again. He did.
 Dix starts "Let's Get Married" by riding down New Works windicst street, Riverside Drive, in an anti Quated electric coupe which ambles along SO leisurely he is able to jump out, run around and inspect the tires without stopping to turn off the juice. After that he rides to Black wells prison island In police pa tral wagon. Then the escape from iail via laundry wagon. Here and jhere through the picture he does some tall ground covering in a high powered car that looks like the twentieth century sweeping through the plains. Another bit of travelling achieved by Dix in Lets Get Mar rled" is a trip down the laundry wagon chute. He accomplishes this without the aid of any vehicle other than the seat of his trousers. These he admits arc not entirely friction proof. Lois Wilson plays opposite Richard Dix and is the lucky one who answers 10 the calling, Let's Get Married"
 The companion feature. Norma Shcarer In "The Devils Circus is one of the finest dramas of the year. Norma Shearer is given an oppor- unity to display her remarkable dramatic talent in this picture dcal- ing with the life of stars under the Liz top. The lash of the whip drives the animals 10 the lmelght The whip also drives the human actors 10 the front. There is price to be paid for the fame. But the ges of that road 10 fame is paid +or in the ensuing misery. The thrills Of the Devils Circus arc supreme. The drop from the aerial has never been cquallcd. And the beautiful love theme running throughout the story will hold the interest to the end.
 There will be two shows Sunday night, the second show starting at tight-thirty.
