"Shhh! Shhh," the stage director hisses and the indiscreet blows of a hammer cease. Then the director turns a dark look on the chorus crowded in the wings and the un- dertone of conversation in several languages subsidies. Artistic tempera- ment is not ruffled by any unneces- sary disturbances.
 Across the city scenes are being rehearsed in motion picture studio. A small orchestra of string instru- ments is playing a throbbing piece. The villain walks onto the set and harasses the heroine. In different parts of the studio carpenters are working industriously and noisily. Just off the set are actors and eX- tras waiting to be called. They, too, find it irksome business as they talk in low tones, read or stroll about aimlessly.

 Girl Gets the Sl

Little Annie 50 and So" al- most won the dollar in the clas- sified ad poetry contest now be- Ing conducted by the Herald and but for a most extraordinary chain of events she would now be the proud possessor of the prize. The judge though it was dandy and took the poetry about Bird ies and Buttercups' up to man. ager Barrett of the Capitol thea ter and attempted to have him read it to the patrons of the thea ter. After heated words, the mat ter was left to Al NolZ who lives in the store next door because of the floral tinge to the poetry The poetry seemed to anger Al who threw the judge out in the street and made matters worse by throwing lily out after him. In order that the judge won't have to run by there the next time he goes up that way he will have to print something nice about the pretty flowers and the rare bar gains the shop has especially for the holidays. The words of a couple of young ladies looking in the windows best express how one feels while in AIS shop, and the words were: Gee. ain't 1t beautiful" After that boost for Al, the judge expects him to feel better toward the well meaning poetry judge. The judge expects a nice bouquet for his button hole.
 The winner today is Louise Herwig of 5S6 West Main street, who submits the following:

Mail Boxes on the Rural
Routes Must Not be Damaged
Several Patrons of Sank Centre Post
Office Annoyed by Having
Boxes Down

Postmaster Jos. Schoenhoff states
some of the patrons of this office
are experiencing difficulty in having
their mail boxes on the highways
knocked down and otherwise dam
aged.
This has several times occurred on
the routes out of Sank Centre. The
postmaster would like to think that
the damage to the boxes is merely ac-
cidental.
In order that the public may be
fully informed in regard to the seri-
BUSINESS of wilfully destroying mail
boxes the Herald publishes the fol-
lowing section from the postal laws
of 1924:
whoever shall wilfully or mali
ciously injure, tear down, or destroy
any letter box or other receptacle in
tended or used for the receipt or de-
livery of mail on any mail route, or
shall break open the same or shall
willfully or maliciously injure, de-
face or destroy any mail deposited
therein, or shall willfully aid or
maliciously injure, deface, or destroy
any mail deposited therein, or shall
wilfuly take or steal such mail
from or out of such letter box or 9TH
er receptacle, or shall wilfully aid or
assist in any Of the aforementioned
offenses, shall for evey such offense
be furnished by fine of not more
than one thousand dollors or by i'm

Northwest Representatives at St.

lighter than previous week and con-
siderably heavier than the eorres-
ponding week last year. The senti-
ment is different however, due to the
fact that year ago there were signs
of early increase in the production of
fresh eggs, while this year, the situa-
ton is entirely different and values
seem to be well sustained on fresh
and storage stocks at the present
time. ...
A very liberal supply of puoltry
was moved for Thanksgiving trade
including turkeys, chickens, fowls,
ducks, and geese. The early arrivals
of fine quality turkeys sold well, but
just prior to Thanksgiving and after
ward, the market slumped off on the
carryover.
Not so many American turkeys are
required for freezer use and prob
ably less will be frozen this year
than last because of the fact that
there was large increase in the pro-
duction of turkeys in the Argentine.
Their season is the opposite of ours
the big production coming in June
and July. With the present day ar
rangements of shipping turkeys long
distances on refrigerated boats of
fast steamship lines, distance is nc
longer barrier and turkeys from
the Southern Hemisphere may be ex.
pected to take care of quite part OF
the summer demand.

Strange Food

is "pidan," which is made by preserv-
Ing fresh ducks eggs in paste made
from soda, straw ash, table salt, boil
Ing water and Stacked lime. The pi-

Ing used. Experiments have shown
that there is as much vitamine A in
pidan as IA fresh eggs, but vitamine B
is entirely destroyed by the process.

Sank Centre basket ball fans will
be elated seyen the organisation of the
LEGION ALL Stars, one OF the afastest
teams ever representing this city.
t A number of local players met with
the executive, committee of the
Robert Swift Legion post Monday ev-
erning at which time they decided to
place the team under the manage
ment of the veterans organization.
Herman Krohm, who was selected
as manager, is now busy lining up
some of the fastest teams in the
country, and fans may rest assured
that only the best teams will be en-
gagged. Every effort is being made to
book a few games before the holi-
days.
The players already out and prac-
ticing are: Frank O'Gara, L. Dolson,
Leonard Brown, H. Nelson, Turtelot,
Mikelson, Blaha, N. Marx, A. Wilcox
and John McDermond.
Several of the above names are
familiar to local fans; however son1e
new material has been added. Blaha,
who is an excellent player, was for
merly a star on the St. Cloud Nor
NAL lineup. Mikelson, of st. Olaf
College; is also a fast man, while
Brown, O'Gara and Dolson will be
able to hold their own with any OF
the teams. Nelson and McDermond
made an enviable record with the
local high school team, while Marx
and Wilcox have played here for
years. Turtelot, is stranger to
the writer, but from all reports is
one of the fastest forwards in the
state, having starred in this position
on the Little Falls High School team.
This all star lineup, will no doubt,
give a very good account of itself
during the coming season. All that
is now necessary for successful
season, is the liberal support of the
Sank Centre fans. Watch for fur
Their announcement.
Coach Kaslow has completed the
High School basket ball schedule for
the season. The locals played their
first practice game with Willard Fri
day evening, Nov. 10 on the home
floor. A return practice game was
played at Willard Friday evening
when Sank Centre was defeated by a
small score.
Coach Kaslow is very favorably
impressed with the material he has
for this years team and when they
are whipped into condition they will
win their share of games. The fol-
lowing is the complete schedule for
the season.

WASHINGTON, March Norman

ISOLATION OF radio broadcasters, and
owner OF a studio at Muscatine, Ia, is
In Washington, attacking Secretary
Hoover's regulation Of the use of the
ether. He told the senate committee
on interstate commerce that the com.
merce department is chiefly interested
In the White and Dill bills for radio
control because the department has
need OF protection against its own
violations OF law. He demanded a con-
gressional inquiry into Hoover's al.
legged discrimination in the granting OF
the use of various wave lengths to
sending stations.
Baker charged that Hoover has
given the biggest radio companies.
which are moving toward a private
monopoly, the choicest wave bands
and wave lengths. Small concerns are
crowded ogether-between $50 and

SAILORS FEAR
TAMPA POLICE
DESERT SHIPS
Norwegian Vice Consul
Demands Raids End

TAMPA, Fla, March 4.-Terroriza-
ton of sailors by frequent brutal raids
by the Tampa police along the water
front and the exoneration Of Police
man Gullette for the cold-blooded
murder of John Petijohn, fireman on
the steamship Barbara, has caused
six members of the crew of the
freighter Modica to desert their ship.
Following the arrest of Albert An
derson as he was leaving the Modica
and his being thrown into jail on a
trumped-up charge and then fined $40
the next morning on charge Of
drunkenness, the Norwegian vice-con-
sui protested against this action Of the
police and demanded an investigation,
which the mayor and police have
ignored. The captain of the Modica
brought out that Anderson was not
drunk. IL is charged that many Of
the police walk around the waterfront
none too sober and try to display
their "Americanism" to the sailors Of
foreign vessels.
Captain Olajur Holck, commander
OF the Norwegian freIghter "Christen-
sen Nicholson" appeared before the
vice-consul and complained that due
to the terror tactics OF the police
of his sailors had left the ship.
