TWO HIGH TYPE MEN
FILE FOR CITY MAYOR
LYNN C. WHITSON AND v. c.
WEDGE EACH HAVE STRONG
FOLLOWING
SHOULD BE PRETTY RACE
CHAS. GRAY AND E. c. BOHALL
FOR ALDERMEN-B Du-
BOIS FOR TREASURER

There will be a little pep injected
into the City election which will be
held Tuesday April sixth.
Lynn Whitson and v. G. Wedge
have both filed to succeed VIM. M q.
Parker, the present incumbent, for
mayor. Mr.. Parker absolutely re-
fused to allow the use of his name for
another time.
The voters of the city will find
themselves in something of a guam
dry in deciding upon their choice for
chief executive of the City, as both
Mr.. Whitson and Mr.. Wedge are
young, and full of pep, possessing
splendid business ability and are sue
cessful business men. The active
supporters Of each are grooming the
gentlemen for a snappy contest and
have their weather out for the politi-
cal "stuff' pulled by the opposition.
1t should be pretty race.
Charles Gray and C. E. Bohall,
both former aldermen, have filed af-
ter having voluntarily retired from
the city's law-making body afer sew
eral years of faithful service. The
terms of Sigurd Holme and Harper
Wakefield, expire this year, and Meth
err is a candidate for reelection. They
have served the city well. There has
been faint rumors of opposing candi-
dates to Messrs Gray and Rohall,
but this Thursday morning it appears
that the gentlemen will have clear
sailing. Their former record in Of
flee entities them to this.
City Treasurer Ben F. Dubois, has
filed for reelection. No opposition to
Mr.. Dubois has been discussed on the
street corners as his efficiency in
this department of the city govern
ment is generally recognized.
The limit for filing for office for
this years election expires Saturday
evening of this week.
The polls will be open from 500
A. M, to 900 P. M. The First Ward
citizens, all those residing north of
Third street, will vote at the Armory
corner Third and Elm streets. All
those citizens residing south of Third
street live in the Second ward and
they will vote in the Firemen's room
first floor of the City Hall, corner
Third and Pine street.

Kandota Township Farmer
In Contact With Buzz-Saw
Charles Erickson Painfully Injured
When Attempting to Move Large
Stick Stopping Traffic

Charles Erickson, we'll known Kan
dota township farmer, was painfully
injured Monday forenoon while
saving wood at his home.
The Herald understands that a
large stick of wood became caught
near the saw while it was in opera
ton. Mr.. Erickson attempted to re-
move it with a smaller stick and the
saw caught both hurting the large
stick in one direction and the smaller
one struck Mr.. Erickson in the fore
head, cutting quite stable hole.
He was bleeding profusely and
hurrierly brought to the city for
medical treatment. The blood was
stopped and few stitches taken, and
Mr.. Erickson returned to his home.
His injury is not looked upon as SER
ious and he will probably be as good
as new in a short time.
Had the large stick struck Mr..
Erickson there is a strong probability
that he would have been either killed
outright or fatally injured.

Steege's success goes to Miss Lucille
Knickerbocker, teacher of public
speaking and dramatic art. Miss
Knickerbocker gave Vione her ele-
mentary training in dramatics and
has trained her for the Region meet.
The dramatic department is making
every possible effort to send the To-

following the fire destroying the
old church Christmas morning, 1924.
About six months ago they moved in
to the new structure since which
time they have held services in the
basement of the new church. Easter
morning the church proper will be
used for services for the first time.
It will be well deserved day of re-
joicing for the parishioners of Our
Lady of the Angels.
Rev. Fearon plans now for the
formal dedication of the new church
some time in May when the weather
and road conditions will be more fa-
vorabIe. Ait this time Rt. Rev.
Bishop Joseph Busch of the st. Cloud
diocese and many other noted cler-
gymen Of the Catholic faith will be
present.
The new church is a credit to Sank
Centre.

Sank Centre Will Have an
Auto, Style and Industrial
Show April s, 8 and 10

"Main Street" is taking on real
city airs.
An Automobile, Industrial and
Style Show will be held at the Sank
Centre Armory, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, April 8, 9 and 10.
The dealers have been contemplate
ing this step for weeks. It was first
hoped to hold the show before Lent
started but it was finally decided to
delay until after Easter.
Wednesday morning the auto deal
ers selling the Ford, Overland, WHY'S
Knight, Hudson, Essex and Chevrolet
autos and trucks met and decided to
put on the show on the dates above
mentioned.

Co. for years actively engaged in the
automobile industry in Minneapolis

show in the Flour City, was the unan-
imous choice of those interested to
become chairman of Sank Centre s
first show when the tentative organi-
zation was perfected yesterday.
The Sank Centre Armory is
ideally situated for a display such as
the Sank Centre business men con-
template putting on. While the au-
to industry will be the main attrac-
ton at the show it is planned to ar
range with the Sank Centre business
men to hold Style Show every one
of the three days.
There will be an abundance of mu-
sic every afternoon and evening, and
dancig each evening.
The Herald predicts that Sank
Centres first effort along this line
of endeavor will be a worth while
event.

his limited acquaintance and age
will be handicaps hard for him to
overcome and make him a dangerous
opponent for the present incumbent.
Mr.. Freeman is native Stearns
county son, having lived his entire
life in St. Cloud. He is the active
head of the St. Cloud Paper Supply
Company, and a wide awake citizen.
He is the logical candidate to make
things interesting.
The Herald is extremely gratifed
that a man of Mr.. Freeman's out
standing ability, genial personality,
whose word is as good as gold, has
fled for this important office.
In discussing Mr.. Freeman's cam
didacy the St. Cloud Times, demo-
cratic says, among other things:
Mr.. Freeman's entrance into
the race is said ito be largely due
to the influence and pressure
brought to bear by prominent
Republicans at Sank Centre,
who were very much displeased
when Knutson reappointed
the efficient postmaster of that
city, who was first named to
that position during the Wilson
administration,
There is no gain-saying the fact
that many of the Sank Centre Repub-
icans have lost faith in the present
incumbent from the Sixth district,
but the Times conclusions that
the honeyed words of the Re
publicans of Sank Centre that in
duced Mr.. Freeman to become a can
didate, are erroneous. The an
announcement that he had filed came
as a surprise to them, but since he

President J. B. Schoenhoff of the
Agricultural Society of Stearns Coun,
ty has called a meeting of the Fair
Association for the Community Club
rooms Monday evening, March 20.
This will be the most important
meeting of the association for many
years as active steps will be taken to
arrange for the Pageant depicting
the pioneer life of this section. A
professional pageant man will be
present and explain to the members
of the association how to proceed to
put on a demonstration that will be
truly historical and a credit to the
association.
For some time County Supt. VIM.
Boerger has been busy organizing a
choir of thirty male voices among
his rural teachers of Stearns county.
From the very successful manner in
which Mr., Boerger has handled other
activities for the fair the Herald is
willing to predict that this choir will
be one of the outstanding features of
the 1926 fair.
Mr.. Boerger will be present at
the meeting, of course, and President
Schoenhoq hopes that every director,
not only those living in and near
Sank Centre, but those from other
portions of the county will be pres
emit at Monday evenings meeting.
President Schoenhoff has request
ed the Herald to announce that be-
cause of the showing of the life of
Martin Luther under the auspices of
Zion church at the Caughren theatre
Monday evening that those desiring
to attend the first show can do so be-
fore coming to the Fair meeting be-
cause but small portion of the i'm
portant business of the meeting will
be transacted before nine o'clock.
The 1926 fair will be held Mon
day, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day, September 20, FL, %, and 90.
The residents of Stearns county are
realizing more and more each year
the Importance of the fair to this Sec
ton of the state and are cooperating
in increasing numbers each year.
President Schoenhoff Tuesday COM
pleted his board of directors for the
1926 fair and the heads of the vari-
Gus departments. The list of the
officers, directors and department
heads follow:

FALLS THROUGH ICE


Arthur Weisner, proprietor of the
Peoples Ice Co., of this city had a
thrilling experience Saturday fore
noon when his truck, loaded with ice
broke through the ice on Sank Lake
and made nose dive" in about six
feet of water. Very fortunately for
Mr.. Weisner the truck caught, and
hung on one side for time, suffi-
cient to allow him to vacate his seat
in the cab. Under reverse circum
stances it is very probably tina. he
would have been drowned. Work
men were summoned and after sew
eral hours of hard work were sue
cessful in "dry docking" the truck.
John Neubauer and son Matt,
from Regal were Sank Centre bust
ness callers Tuesday afternoon.
Howard Wilcox who had the mis-
fortune to wrench his right leg last
Friday while working about the base
ment at the Wedge Hardware Store
has been confined to his home since
that time.

America stands first among ma
| tIons i'll the development and use
OF applied science, but it holds no
such position as regards research in
pure science: that is, in the discov-
cry of those fundamental facts and
principles on which all scientific
knowledge and its useful applications
rest. America has had fo1Ir Nobel
prize winners for achievement in
! pure science. Holland. with a popu-
lation only one-siXteenth Of that of
the United States, has had the same
number.
This situation comes not SO much
from lack Of competent research men
as from the fact that we do not give
these men the opportunities and
financial support necessary for pro-
iOnged intensive work. These men
are mostly professors in the uni
versities carrying heavy burdens Of
teaching and administration and un-
provided with necessary equipment
and assistants.
1t is easy TO show that all great
development of applied science and
much progress in civilization rest on
q basis Of abstract scientific discov-
cry resulting from work not phi
marily directed toward utilitarian
ends. The whole modern electrical
industry rests OH Iaraday's tunda-
mental discovery OF electromagnetic
induction. The marvellous modern
, development of the chemical indus.
tries became possible only ate
many years of painstaking reSea rel.
had established the molecular theory
Of the structure of carbon COM

saved millions OF lives. was the Iii
rect outcome Of Pasteur's optical
studies of the crystals Of racemid

| ing examples could be given.
