SPORTS

Sank Centre won it's initial basket
Willard 24-10. The game was char.
acterized by the usual early season
loose play and Inconsistent work. The
game though was not as rough as
might have been expected for one this
early in the year. Both teams
played the ball rather than the man,
which was the most redeeming fea-
ture of the game, and at all times
showed themselves to bee good sports.
The two teams were very well
matched as to size and weight.
Sank Centres strong point was
their passing game although fumbles
appeared aplenty in the last half of
the game. Neither team developed
much of a defense during the game
although defense in both cases was
frightened during the last half. Sank
Centre was faster in taking advan-
tage of breaks than Willard.
The first quarter was entirely
Sank Centres, the Willard defense
was penetrated at will and although
the Sank Centre guarding was not
up to par, Willard failed to register
a goal. Arneson was the first to
score getting a free throw out of
two attempts. Maloney of Willard
failed to score on as many attempts.
Walden made three field goals and
a free throw and Miller scored a
basket during this period, giving
Sank Centre a 100 count for the
period.
The second quarter opened with
playing "a little loose. lilies and
Walden each acquired a field goal in
the middel of the period. Quafe made
Wizards first points by sinking a
field goal near the end of the half.
Arneson put the ball through from a
close in shot just as the half ended.

keeping themselves on a scoring par
with Sank Centre. Maloney and Ho-
gan scored for Willard during mis-
period while Walden scored the .,nly
basket for the home team. During

basket while Quale and Hogan count
ed for Willard. The game ended,

THANKSGIVING

In conformity with a custom estab-
iished by the Pilgrim Fathers, prom
ulgated by proclamation of Presi-
dent Washington and reiterated in
proclamations of President Coolidge
the American people are observing
today as one of Thanksgiving.
During the past IL months mater
ial conditions in the Great Northwest
have not been particularly hearten-
ing for the farmer and small business
man. Poor crops and unsatisfactory
prices have affected all, as the ma
terial welfare of any community in
the Northwest is absolutely dependent
upon the farmers success.
The Herald is optomistic enough to
believe that the crest of the unsatis-
factory times which hits every section
with cycle of years, has been
reached and that better business con-
ditions are just around the corner.
The people of Central Minnesota
have much to be thankful for as
they are greatly favored from any
angle-citzenship, development and
climate
Individuals may sometimes feel
they are up against a pretty tough
proposition. If the average man will
look around bit, any time, he can
find so many so much worse off,
financially and physically than he is,
that he should give thanks in abund-
ance.
In these days of political unrest
the demagogue finds much at fault
and nothing to commend with our
government. The American citizen
after little investigation will also
give thanks because he lives under
the benificent Stars and Stripes.
By and large the average Ameri-
can citizen has much to be thankful
for on this day.

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
Urges Farmers to Prepare for
Ice Haruae&

Urges Farmers to Prepare for
Ice Harvest
Many are the uses of ice on the
farm, says the Blue Valley Cream
cry Institute in urging farmers to
prepare for the ice harvest. Ice on
the farm makes possible the keeping
of fresh meats and other perishable
foods during the summer months,
thereby making life easier and more
pleasant all around. While not nee
essary at all, supply of ice al
ways comes in handy in hot weather
for the farmer who sells sweet cream
instead of sour cream. The larger in
come from the sale of sweet cream
will much more than pay for the ex-
pense and labor required to make and
store the ice used for cream cooling.
The ice for household purposes will
then cost nothing at all.
An inexpensive ice house, a few
simple tools and pond or stream
are all that is needed to assume the
farmstead of ice during the spring,
summer and fall. The work can be
done when there is little, if any, 9TH
er work for the teams and men. On
a farm where 10 cows in milk are
kept during the summer, frSn 5 to
10 tons of ice can be used to good
advantage, but an additional so per
cent should be packed to make up for
melting and for such ice las is used
for household purposes. The amount
of ice to pack will vary proportion
ately with farms where more or less
cows are kept.
An inexpensive ice house can be
built by the farmer in few days,
according Ito the Institute. An ice
house, capable of storing Is tons of
ice, should have inside dimensions of
10 feet in length, 8 feet in width and
8 feet in height. For twenty tons the
dimensions should be 14x8x8, rs tons
14x10x8, and for 80 tons 14x10x1O.
A well drained site is essential and
the house should be built as near the
milk house as possible to save time
and handling. Care should be taken
to drain the house properly, and the
drain should he trapped sufficiently
to prevent air from entering the
house through the drain. Because
there is certain to be more or less
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1926-11-25

melting of ice in any house, moisture
will gather on the walls and ceilings
unless removed by ventilation. The
roof must be watertight.
Many farmers find that cold wealth
er, if not too severe, is the most de
sirable time to make ice. In much
weather THE ice is handled easier be-
cause it is "dry" rather than wet
and slippery. For the most economi-
cal harvesting, ice should be 10 to IL
inches thick, and from 8 to Is inches
of water under the ice is sufficient to
allow for convenient saving and
handling. The tools for the harvest
ing are THE same as those used on
the average farm. Those actually re-
quired are two ice saws, one hand
marker, one pulley and rope, two
pairs of ice togns, one pointed bar OF
splitting fork and strong cord. Or
binary cross cut saws with one handle
removed will answer the purpose OF
regular saws.
Either sawdust or mill shavings
make satisfactory and inexpensive
packing material for ice, continues
the Institute. This material should
be aged enough to be dried out
thoroughly. Finely chopped prairie
hay or moist grass is also satisfactory
for ice packing purposes. Greer
sawdust or shavings should not be
used, as they are decidedly poor in
sulators. Before filling the ice house
a layer of dry sawdust about foot
thick should be placed at the bottom
and another foot of sawdust and
shavings placed on top of the ice.
The depth of the sawdust in the cen
ter should he few inches less than
at the outer edges so that the ice
cakes will have tendency to slide
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1926-11-25

toward the center rather than to THE
outer edges. Any spaces between the
ice cakes should be filled with ice or
snow and not with sawdust, and at
least foot should be left between
the sides of the ice and the walls
of the house. The sawdust should
be tramped down frequently to close
up any air pockets that have been
formed because of melting.

Of 925 Eighth st. N. W., took
poison early today at the home
