Citizens Refuse to Become
Excited Over City Election
Close Race Between Whitson and
Wedge for Mayor Predicted by
Observers-No Other Contests

The city election next Tuesday
gives every promise of being regu-
lar tea party as the citizens absolute
ly refuse to become excited over the
outcome. The only opposition is for
mayor with l.. W. Whitson and v.
G. Wedge as the candidates. Mr..
Average Voter realizes that high
type mayor will be elected in any
event as both candidates are splendid
citizens. If comment, one hears on the
street and in the places of business
can be taken as criterion the result
is tossup at this time. 81
Messrs Charles Gray and C. E.
Bohall, former aldermen, have no
opposition, neither has Ben Dubois
for city treasurer, which is as it
should be.
The polls will be open from 500
A. M. to 900 P. M. The First Ward
voters, those residing on the north
side of Third street, will cast their
ballots in the west front room on
the first floor of the Armory, corner
of Third and Elm streets. The Sec
ond Ward citizens will vote at the
Firemen's room, first floor City Hall,
Third and Pine street.

eggs for its customers. From so to
60 carloads of eggs will be processed
this year. Due to it's performance
last year in furnishing high quality
eggs in the quantities and as needed,
the Exchange is having a fine demand
this spring for it's eggs, the demand
for top grades exceeding the avail
able supply. The Land O'Lakes
creameries voted to go out of the
egg business and are turning that
business over to the Egg association,
both for marketing eggs for the local
creameries of Minnesota and for re-
failing eggs in the Twin Cities and
Duluth. In the latter field the two
associations will cooperate to sell
Lake Region eggs and Land O'Lakes
butter together to the retail trace.
The directors of the Exchange vcsed
recently to establish dressing plant
in the Twin Cities which will be done
in the near future.

WAS GREAT MEETING

Harry Knapp, vlce-commander of
the Robert James Swift Post No. 81
of the American Legion spent Friday
and Saturday in Minneapolis attend
ing the big two-day rally and banquet
at the Curtis Hotel by Commanders
and Adjutants from all surrounding
of the Legion in honor
of the National Commander and Ma
tional Adjutant, John R. McQuigg
and James Barton. Harry says there
is something wonderful about the
spirit of 'The Gopher Gang" AS in
dividuals they have their little differ
ences of opinions; collectively, their
morale and unity cannot be broken.
When they hear the call of comrade-
ship from afar they cannot turn a
deaf ear. This was demonstrated
during the week end when every Min
nesota train arriving in Minneapolis
was loaded with Legionaires and Aux
Hilary members to attend the rally.

Burning Of Isolated Cabin
Causes Death of Family
Man, Wife and Five Children Perish
In Fire in Lake of the Woods
County

st. Paul, March 3O.-Mr. and
Mrs. Henry Newman and their five
children were burned to death in their
cabin home near Williams, Mimi, an
isolated inland town in the north
woods wilderness near the Canadian
border.
Only meager advices of, the tragedy
had reached St. Paul today. Reports
available said the fire occurred Sun
day morning and the tragedy was
discovered yesterday.
The bodies of Mrs. Newman, and
young daughter whose name was
not learned, were found on a road
near their home and investigation by
neighbors disclosed the bodies of
Newman and four other children in
the ruins of their home.
Apparently Mrs. Newman and her
daughter had escaped from the blaz-
ing building but had succumed to
their burns before they could sum-
mon help.
Officials at Baudette,. county seat
of Lake of the Woods county, were
notified. The Newmans moved to Will
liams last fall from Park Rapids,
Mimi, and the county sought rela-
tives there.

Bishop, v. G. Wedge, v. L. Burgess
and DIR. Al. F. Moynihan as a COM
mittee to investigate propositions of
solicitors who are anxious to work
among the business men of this city
to either solicit business or funds.
This committee will investigate all
propositions and if they are found
worthy a card will be issued sanction
ing the movement, and any business
man belonging ITO the Club will do
well to refuse to have anything to do
with any solicitor who cannot show
the card issued by the committee au-

During the past few weeks local
business men have been stung on at
least two fake advertising PROPOSE
lions which could have been avoided
had the committee been operating.

Fair Officers Arrange for
Historic Pageant at 1926
ShoW---4OO to Take Part

they will be paid $1,000 for three
evening performances.
The decision to stage Pageant
means night show for three even
ings of the Fair. About 400 people
will be required ito take part in the
various episodes. Mr. Fish explained
that usually group from certain COM
ii4is1ities was selected, rehearsed for
certain sections of the Pageant. It is
planned to enlist all section of Stearns
county and communities in portions
of Todd, Douglas and Pope, as when
the story is unfolded the early history
OF this entire section will be revealed.
Under the terms of, the contract
all costumes, stage effects, etc., will
be furnished by the producing
company. About three weeks before
the fair an efficient director will
arrive in Sank Centre and begin re-
hearsals for the Pageant. He will
also visit other portions of the county
and nearby communities and drill the
various groups without additional ex-
pense to the association. This Pag-
cant will be the most elaborate eve
ming show ever attempted by a coun-
ty fair in this section of the state.
Letters from other organizations for
whom the Rogers people have put on
outdoor entertainments state that
their entertainments are always high
class and money-makers. They will
handle the third Pageant in three
years at the Stevens County Fair at
Morris this year.
AS indicative of the character of
the John B. Rogers organization the
American Magazine published an ex-
tended illustrated story of their ac-
Invites and successes in the August
1924 issue. u
The fair officers are planning and
will no doubt erect bowery and con
duct a large dance on the fair
grounds each evening of the Fair this
year.
IL is safe to predict even this early
that the 1926 Stearns county Fair
will be a record breaker, as President
Ben Schoenhoff, Secretary Gunther
Hillerud, Treasurer Fred Fischer and
the other officers and directors are on
the job all the time.

awarded the contract for printing the
1926 Fair Premium list by unani-
nous vote. The Herald will solicit
and collect for all advertising. Two
Thousand two hundred books will be
printed and distributed this year.
The officers had invited Mr.. Fish
representing the John B. Rogers Pro-
ducing Company of Fostoria, Ohio,
to attend the meeting and explain to
the association their plan of handling
Pageants to carry out the sugges-
lions made by Treasurer Fred Fisch-
er at a meeting of the association last
fall in which he recommended that
because of an abundance of splendid
early local history the Fair Associa-
tion stage "a historical Pageant this
year.
Mr.. Fish explained in detail their
plan of handling affairs of this sort.
The result was that the officers were
instructed to contract with the Reg-
ers Company to stage an historical
Pageant at the 1926 Fair for which

SCHOOL ELECTION

The average citizens is apparently
very we'll satisfied with the manner in
which the Sank Centre schools are
operated as only 20 voters out of
approximately 1000 in the district
in the annual election of
two directors Saturday. P. B. Han
son and O. w. Dowswell were elect
ed to succeed themselves without op-
position.

figures. The Parish has an indebt-
edness of 100000, but with their
splendid record of achievement of the

predicts that pipe organ will be
installed and other necessary addi-
tons will be made and every cent of
of the Indebtedness wiped out within
a ten-year perio.
