Young Mushers
Haze Dogs Ready
Big Derby Event Sponsored by
American Legion, Will Take
Place Sunday Afternoon

The young mushers of Sank
Centre are working hard to get
their entrants in the Dog Derby
Sunday afternoon ready for the
event.
This Derby is sponsored by
Robert Swift Post, American Lee
gion, with H. j. Sauer and Arth-
ur Weisner in charge. The race
will start promptly at 2:30 P. M.
corner Third and Main street and
the course will lead the dogs East,
ending at Third and Ash streets.
A. S. Brain, veteran musher
and dog trainer gives the young
mushers some valuable advice rel
ative to the proper care of the
dogs.
"Be sure not to feed your dog
just before the race" Mr.. Brann
told the mushers. Nothing will
slow him up more than that. If
you are feeding your dog once a
day, feed him for the last time the
evening before the race. Or, If
you are feeding him twice a day,
give just a light meal in the
morning. Nearly all of the
fights at race start because a
dog has had too much to eat"
Mr.. Brann described various
types of harness, pointing out the
necessity of having a simple, clear
harness that won't tangle easily,
and the need for supporting straps
over the back to keep the harness
from dragging about the dogs
legs.
There will be two classes. All
entrants should be on hand by
2:15 Sunday so that judges can
place each dog in his class.
Entrants may ride on sled be-
hind the dog or may lead the
dog. The winner of each <usldss
will be the dog who together with
his driver first reaches the goal.
w, M. Parker will be official
starter. Alex Benson and Oscar
Konne will be official Judges
Drivers may enter their dogs up
until 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon
by getting in touch with H. J.
Sauer or Arthur J. Wiesner,
members of the derby committee.
No outside person will be al
lowed to call or whistle ITO any
dog entered in the race. Special
ors are requested to stay on the
sidewalks bordering the race course
so as to keep the course free from
outside interference.

Hit and Run Driver In
jures Ia Year Old Boy

Shortly after one o'clock Sat-
urday afternoon a Ford Tour
ing car occupied by two men
and travelling north on Main
Street attempted to pass a
bus and in doing SO the driver
of the car lost control and
the machine skidded into the
left curb near the Leader
Store, striking Richard Bar
ry, Ia year old SON of Mr.. and
Mrs. Clark Barry of this city,
who was standing on the side
walk beside his bicycle. The
car ran onto the sidewalk and
carried the lad under the
wheels almost to the store
front.
The occupants of the car
offered no assistance but inn
mediately turned their car to
the street and aped on their
way out of town on Highway
No. 3 toward West Union.
Chief of Police Miller was
near at hand and summoned a
taxi and overlook the hit and
run drivers near Hoboken.
Chief Miller delivered them
to the Doctors office where
the lad had been taken for
examination and found to be
badly bruised and frightened.
When questioned as to why
they did not stop the men of
fered the alibi that it was
very necessary for them to
appear in Osakis shortly after
noon of that day in order to
attend to some business. Ex-
pressing themsslves as being
short of funds hey were held
for payment Of the doctors
charges and were allowed to
go their ways =
They were lucky.

Snappy Interview Given
Minneapolis. Journal by
i H. N. Bishop
TOWN IS A LIVE WIRE
Growing Diary Industry and
Better Highways Increase
City's Popularity

It is not only the newspaper
men from the East who smell an
interesting yarn when he meets up
with resident of Sank Centre.
H. N. Bishop of the Boston
Store, of this city, spent the first
of the week in Minneapolis at
tending the gathering of country
merchants for Market Week. Mr..
Bishop was spotted by a Minneap-
oils journal reporter and in an in
terview succeeded in selling "Main
Street" in the following interest
ing manner:
"a store on Main street, Sank
Centre, Stear1ls county, Minnesota,
represented in person by it's pro-
prietor, H. N. Bishop, was among
the first of the stores in the inter-.
Tor of the state to get busy with it's
buying in Minneapolis as the tenth
annual Twin City Market Week
opened today and the first of hun
dreds of visitors started their
spring tour of wholesale houses.
''The store is located on the
main street, made famous in Sin
clair Lewis novel which was the
biggest of all literary sellers sew
eral years ago and which presum-
ably portrayed the provincialism Of
American country life.
Sinclair Lewis wrote his book
several years ago" said Mr.. Bish-
op, "and last summer he returned
to Sank Centre to attend the fun
eral Of his father. He remarked
at the, time, how rapidly the real
Main Street had been going ahead
and that it would not be long be-
fore it would be difficult for him
to really recognize this as the
same street on which he had foe
used the interest Of the world.
It's a Brilliant White Way
Main street every night, he
said, sis now brilliant White
Way .a-
During the holiday season,
we followed the illuminating lead
of Minneapolis, and put on extra
frills. If you want to see some
real animation in a town, come to
our Main street some Saturday
night in the summer time-but il
you do so, you will have trouble
to find a place to park your auto
mobile, SO crowded is Main street
with farmers, motoring in to
spend the evening in our really
bright little Sank Centre - the
Paris in fact of Stearns county.
There is enough automobile bust
ness to give us seven garages.
SO During the first four days.of
next July, we expect the biggest
crowd Sank Centre has ever
known. The county agricultural
fair is to be held there then, and
we are anticipating about $4,000
visitors, or about eight times our
normal population. We hope to-.
make it the biggest and most at
tractive county fair conducted in
Minnesota this year. It will reach
climax in a monstrous celebra-
ton of July fourth.
you should take walk
along Main street-a well paved
thoroughfare with stores display
ing in their windows the latest
fashionable and high class goods.
It is because Sank Centre has now
the wealth and the expanding
tastes which wealth brings, de-
mands all the newest vogues, and

ASK FOR EARLY OPENING

A petition circulated by IL. q.
Lembke, containing the names of
several hundred Sank Centre cit
liens was sent to Game and Fish
Commissioner j. F. Gould this
week, asking that the date of op-
ening the crappie and sun fish
season be changed from June Fl
to May 20, the same date as in the
Southern zone. Those interested
in the petition claim no good pur-
pose is served by having so late
an opening date.
Game Warden Charles Harrison
estimates that approximately Co.
900 fish were taken from Sank
Lake during the winter season,
from the time fishing through the
ice was commenced last year.

Such an idea should eman-

Those acquainted with for

spokesman said, without first
confering quietly with agents
of the nations involved.

Children Of County Being
Inspected by State Nurse
40 Per cent of Students Of Mel
rose, Paynesville, Belgrade and
Brooten Have Defects

More than 1900 school children
were given physical inspections
recently in Melrose, Paynesville,
Brooten, and Belgrade by nurses
from the staff of the Minnesota
Public Health Association, accord
ing to a report just received. This
work of short time nursing ser
vice for the schools not provided
with nurses forms a part of the
countrywide tn acknowledgements
ton program financed by Christ
mas Seals and it is sponsored by
the County Public Health Asso-
citation, Medical examinations We're
given children selected by the
nurses by local physicians.
Nearly 40 per cent of the 1915
boys and girls examined in the
four towns were found to have
dental defects, the report shows.
One third were classed as having
defects of nose and throat, and
% per cent were more than seven
per cent underweight. Fourteen
per cent had defective vision, and
Of these a number had not sus-
pected that they were in need Of
glasses. Nineteen pupils had de-
fective hearing.
Records were sent to tie homes
of the children, and als1 kept a.
the schools, and it is hoped that
corrections Of those conditions the
physicians felt needed immediate
attention will be promptly cared
for, as delay may mean that the
child is not only handicapped IN his
or her school work, but that ser
ious injury is done to the health.
The inspections were made by
Misses Edith Ross, Dolores Burke.
and Mrs. Mildred Brinton, al
sent out by the state eChristmas
Seal organization. Parent-teach-
ers' meetings and health talks il.
all the school rooms were addition
al features of this work.
High praise for the splendid
work of local Christmas Sea-
managers throughout the county
who raised sufficient funds for 9
splendid program to reach every
part of the county, is expressed il
a special communication from the
executive committee of the Mime
sofa Public Health Association.

Girls Buy Small Shoes
 Despite Cramped Feet

Washington. Aug. 6. GP,-The de- sire for small feet is by no means confined to the women of China. judging from the report just issued by the American Home Econom .cs Association on effects of various types of shoes on the feet of high school studer Is.
 A survey made by Professor Katherine Cranor of Iowa State College and by Maude Eastwood Little, covering 311 high school girls showed that shoes both too short and too narrow were worn by 2s9. Only 2S wore correct length and II correct width shoes.
 The shoes were examined IS to type. length and width. Next the feet were measured and examined for defects. Only one student was found 10 have normal feet.
 Despite the fact that high school girls are supposed to be of flapper age and tastes. the investigators did not find the high heel much in evidence. Oxfords were most con- rnonly worn, though the older girls wore pumps frequently. Only about 75 per cent of the shoes had been fitted on the wearers when pur- chased.

 The types of planes are almost as varie1 as the number of entries. Some of them probably will be flown solo across the great ex- panse of water; navigators and pas sengers will accompany others.
