ANNUAL MEETING OF SOCIETY
AT SAUk CENTRE COMMUN-
ITY CLUB ROOMS
SECRETARY TO REPORT
STRONG SENTIMENT IN FAVOR
HOLDING THE 1927 FAIR
IN JULY

The first of the week President J.
B. Schoenhoff of the Agricultural So
ciety of Stearns County distributed
interest checks Ito the holders of GER
tifieates of indebtedness
With these checks Mr.. Schoenloff
distributed printed notices of the an
nual meeting to be held at the Com
munlty Club rooms in this city Mon
day evening Nov. %, at 7:3O O'Clock
p. m.
This meeting is of unusual import
ance not only because the officers for
the ensuing year will be elected but
because the dates for the holding of
the 1927 Fair will be selected.
The sentiment is unanimous for a
earlier fair-much earlier. Many OF
the. fair workers are convinced that
the. third, fourth and fifth of July will
bring the largest financial success
Others feel that the dates should be
the last part Of July. 1t is the desire
of President ]. B. Schoenhoff, Secre-
tary G. Hillerud and the other of
ficers of the association that every
person interested in the fair attend
this meeting.
One need not necessarily be a
stakeholder to be present and take
part in the discussion.
Secretary G. Hillerud will also
make a complete financial statement
of the receipts and disbursements OF
the 1926 fair from every angle. An
attempt has been made to have every
bill against this years fair filed, aud
tied and settled before this meeting
George Minette Club leader for the
Sank Centre Boys and Girls Calf
Club will file detailed report of the
activities of the Club during the first
year of it's existence.
Keep your dates clear for Monday
evening, Nov. 20 and be prepared to
be on hand for the annual meeting of
tin Agricultural Society. The fair
belongs to every citizen of the
county. Come out and help boost.
The selection of the 1927 officers
of the Stearns County fair will be
very important. The Herald is con-
WINGED that the supporters of the fair
are thoroughly satisfied with the
manner in which the present officers
have managed the Associations bus
mess but it is doubtful if they can be
prevailed upon Ito neglect their per-
sonal affairs to handle the business
of the fair another year.

well known judge of live stock was

ARMISTICE DAY WAS
SUITABLY OBSERVED
DICTIONARIES AND BUSINESS
MEN COOPERATE TO MAKE
DAY SUCCESS
HARD FOOTBALL GAME
GUARDSMEN co DOWN FIGHT
ING IN UNEQUAL BATTLE
SCORE 20 TOO

The observance of Armistice day in
Sank Centre last Thursday, supervis-
ed by Robert Swift Post, American
Legion was commendable. The bus
mess places of the city closed at 1 100
p. M, and many of the business men
co-operated with the Legion in MAX
ing the observance a success.
Promptly at HOO a. m. the fire
siren broke loose and the bells of all
the churches of the city rang stimuli
taneously for a two-minute period.
The parade formed promptly at
2:30, corner Third and Pine street,
headed by the Sank Centre band,
followed by the ex-Service men, the
Woman's Auxiliary, the National
Guard, the Boy Scouts and the Black
Cats. At the conclusion of the pa
rade at Third and Main, Commander
H. j. Krohm who was master of cere-
monies, introduced Ignatius Lemm,
of Melrose, newly elected state SEN
ator of this district. In his short talk
Mr.. Lemm created a very favorable
impression. Asa M. Wallace of the
Herald also made few remarks.
Capt. Scott of the National Guard
unit had challenged the Legion men
for a foot ball game to be played on
the Country Club links. Play was
called at 800 o'clock. Capt. Scott
who is glutton for punishment and
Lieut.. Dewey O'Gara led the Guards
men in the unequal battle. Lieut..
O'Gara was put out of commission
with bum leg early in the first half
but the Machine Gunners carried on.
The prettiest play of the day was
when Jimmie O'Gara of the Guards
intercepted a Legionaire forward pass
and eluding practically all of the
beefy service men ran 70 yards
when he was overhauled by Dolson en-
the Legion 1O-yard line. This was
the closest the Guardsmen came to
scoring.
Outweighed by 80 or 40 pounds
to the man the Machine Gunners
went down fighting. IT'S said Capt.
Scott took his meals standing up af-
ter this battle of the Links. Lieut.
Thoney Austin, was satisfied to re-
main on the sidelines and bolster a
lost cause with advice. The final
score was 20 to 0 in favor of the
Service men.
The dance given by the Legion at
the Armory in the evening was large
ly attended and is said to have been
a very enjoyable affair.
Much credit is due to II. j. Krohm,
commander of the local Legion post
for the efficient manner in which ne
arranged on short notice the inform
al program for Armistice Day..
The Herald has been advised by
Legion members that now that Ohe
cooperation of the business men OF
Sank Centre is assured them that
they will plan early for next year
and put on a program that will be a

ganization.

Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes were locat-

which was swept with the disastrous
storm Oct. 49, Immediately fol
lowing the storm Mrs. Geo. Grund-
man who resides south of this city
and an old friend, wrote to the
Barnes family to determine the ex-
tent of their suffering or well being
The following reply in part was re-
ceived by Mrs. Grundman under date
of Nov. Is
Received your letter last night
The storm was terrible. 1t com.
menced to rain in the afternoon of
the 18th, and ait night the wind came
up and as time went ON it's velocity
grew and by eleven o'clock it was
very bad. A Cuban neighbor came
to our place and wanted to know if
he could bring his family to our
home and I said eyes" So he came
with -four children, his wife and
father-in-law. Mr.. Barnes then GOT
up and we sat around for some time.
Then the east door blew in; the three
men tried to hold and nail it shut but
could not, it finally blew open and
we went to the kitchen as the roof
was taken away. When things be-.
gan to crumble the natives went out
and chung onto orange trees while
Mr.. Barnes and l crawled under a
kitchen table for protection.
"You cannot imagine the destruc
ton the storm made, there was not a
building that escaped; most of them
are down. We are getting supplies
from the Red Cross and from the
United States Government. The bat-
tleship is in the harbor. Uncle Sam
is looking out for us.
''Tell Emma and Frank Head we
ar all right (Mr. Barnes and Mrs.
Frank Head are cousins). Our gar
den was all destroyed. Our seed
beds and 5000 pepper plants we had
set out are gone. We have built a
shack Ito keep our things dry. We
do not suffer with the cold"

Mr.. and Mrs. Barnes are quite
aged, making this catastrophe doubly
hard. Immagine these people along
with others setting in the dark night
wet and cold, waiting for the dawn

Mr.. Barnes, aged and crippled, had
labored hard to set out the pepper
plants which were growing good and
would soon have yielded a tidy in
