ONLY ADOzEN DAYS
LEFT TO WIN PRIZE
Herald's Playground Appli-
ance Subscription Cam
paign Closes Soon
COOPERATION WILL WIN
Teachers Have Golden OPP
portunity to Aid Rural
Children

AS the Herald's playground SUBJ
scription campaign is nearing its
climax, the winners of the prizes
are very much in doubt.
The parents, teachers and pupils
are awakening to the appreciation
that a golden opportunity to equip
their schools with modern play
ground appliances to make the life
Of the child in the rural school
happier and more contented, slip
through their fingers.
The Herald publishers have been
quite reliably informed that a num-
Der of the schools are within gliding
their subscriptions until the last
hour of the contest in order to keep
their competitors in the dark as to
their actual standings.
In the average subscription con.
test thousands of extra votes are
allowed for new subscribers Over
95 per cent of the farmers in tn,
territory in which the contesting
schools are located are Herald SUBJ
scribers at the present time. When
this campaign was arranged for
the idea was not so much to in
crease the number Of herald sub
scribers as to induce the farmer in
the territory to pay up his arrear-
ages and renew his Herald sub
seription for period Of not to ex-
coed two years in advance.
In other campaigns candidates
have been allowed to collect sub
scriptions fiv, ten and even 20
years in advance. Many times the
contestant has put this money in
to the campaign in order to win.
The Herald's primary idea is to
build up a feeling of good will to-
ward the paper with the younger
generation. The youngsters are
potential Herald subscribers be-
cause in few years they will be
active in the affairs of their COM
munities.
Less than two weeks of the
campaign still remains. Of course
it is too late for new contestants
to enter the lists, but the most
lowIy of today, according to the
records in the Herald office has an
opportunity to win one of the ma,
jor prizes with a little hustling on
the part of the parents and teach
ers Of the districts. The subscrip-
ton price is $500 per year.

Public Skating
Rink is Planned
American Legion and Black Cats
Fostering Movement-Will Be
Located Near Dam

A number of the young folks OF
the city are attempting to arouse
agitation in regards to the estab-
fishing and maintaining of an ice
skating rink on Sank lake.
The American Legion and the
Black Cat organization are strong
ly in favor of the move and with
the financial and moral support OF
others, who are lovers of that
sport, an adequate rink with a good
skating surface and ample space to
accommodate large numbers of skat-
ers, could be maintained.
Those who have displayed inter-
est in the proposition are of the
opinion that the best location on
the lake for a rink would be the
bay near the dam. The old bath
house standing near the west end
of the bay could be utilized as a
warming house. 1t will, of course
be necessary to appoint a rink
keeper to keep the ice clear and
attend to the general management.
All of this viii naturally entail
some expense, therefore it is the
plan of the promoters to charge a
stipulated amount as dues to each
skater, this to entitle him to admis-
sion to the rink for the entire sea-
son.
Everyone who likes ice skating,
whether young or old can help to
put it across by talking about it
and by lending a helping hand.
You may not be skater and there
fore not interested, but you may
have children who are, and by the
maintenance of such a rink they
may enjoy hours of skating in
perfect safety.
The more who take part in the
project, the better will be the rink,
and also the lower will be the fee
to each individual.

Farm Fire Causes
Loss of $500
Barn and Silo on Caughren Farm
Destroyed Friday Afternoon
Origin Mystery

Fire of unknown origin COM
pletely destroyed the large barn
and silo on the farm owned by H.
j. and D. B. Caughren, located
five miles southeast of this city on
the old Melrose road, shortly after
2 o'clock Friday afternoon. The
loss on the buildings is estimated
at between $1,000 and $1,000.
There were about 20 tons of hay in
the barn that is also total loss.
John Jaeger, the renter of the
farm, had just finished putting al
falfa hay into the barn and had
gone to the house. In a few min
utes he saw smoke coming from the
structure and, being alone at the
time, his entire attention was
drawn to removing the "a head of
cattle, five horses and number of
hogs from the building.
By the time Mr.. Jaeger had
completed the task of removing the
animals from the burning struc-
ture, the fire had become noticeable
to- neighbors and they began con-
gregating. A bucket bridage was
formed but efforts to save the barn
were futile. An alarm was turned
in summoning the Sauk Centre fire
department, who upon arrival di-
rected their attentions to saving
surrounding buildings. The blaze
in the hay had spread so rapidly
that it was impossible to save the
barn or silo.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
1t is thought possible that a
dust explosion in the new hay
might have been the cause.
The loss is completely covered
by insurance, Mr.. Caughren stated.
The buildings will be rebuilt at
once.
Of the 10 calls the Sank Centre
department have had so far in
1927, five of them have been from
farms. The losses incurred on the
farms would have gone a long way
toward paying for suitable equip
ment to cope with the farm fires, if
the town boards and city would
cooperate in their purchase.

LAUNDRY IS BADLY
DAMAGED BY FIRE
Firemen Fight Early Morn
ing Blaze In Sub Zero
Weather Wednesday
LOSS ABOUT $4,000
Farm Home Of George Mi
nette Destroyed This
Thursday Morning

A fire, which completely Quilted
the center section of the City
Steam Laundry, and threatened
adjoining buildings, broke out
early Wednesday morning. 1t is
thought a motor switch accidently
dropped into contact starting a
motor in the basement of the
laundry. 1t ran hot and ignited
into flames which spread rapidly
through the entire basement.
H. G.. Wagner, second trick
man at the Great Northern depot,
passing the laundry going home
from work, at about 1920 A. M,
was the first to discover the fire
and rushed to the Palmer House
and turned in the alarm. By this
time the blaze was well under way
having spread to all corners of the
basement and into the Orders und-
err the main floor.
The Sank Centre fire department
made an unusual quick response
when weather conditions are taken
into consideration, and were on
the scene with chemical and other
fighting apparatus in a compare
lively short time. Two hose lines
were laid to the building and used
in quelling the flames. The lo"a-
ton and intensity of the fire added
greatly to the hazardous work of
bringing the fire under control.
Firemen fought heroically for over
three hours in the teeth Of a ter
rifle gale at below zero weather.
The Orders burning away under
the main floor caused it to give
way under the weight of the heavy
machinery. The greater share of
the equipment fell through to the
basement wrechng much of it be
You'd repair.
The Maus Garage located next
door to the south became endanger-
ed and w. A. Maus was notified.

Some weeks ago a Cass Lake

The weather man has thrown a
monkey wrench in the works.
In the "gooi old days" this sort

270 tuberculosis Cases In
Stearns County, Estimate
Deaths for Past Six Years Have
Average 32-Disease
Durable

In Stearns as well as every 9TH
er county in the state, tuberculosis
has been taking its toll, year after
year, a report given out by the
Minnesota Public Health Associa-
ton in connection with annual sale
of Christmas Seals shows. A to-
tai of 1914 people have died of tub
erculosis in 'Stearns county in the
last six years, the report shows
an average of SO per cent. 1t is
estimated that there are now 270
active cases in the county. :
Over 5000 Minnesota men,
women. and children have been
killed by the White Plague in the
past ten years, states the report
which calls attention to the fact
that this is more than the entire
population of a city the size of
Winona. The fact that the larg-
est percentages of these deaths oc.
Cured between the ages of 20 and
as, when the individual is. the
greatest loss, is brought out in
the report. Last year alone 1886
people of the state died of this
disease.
Tuberculosis is durable if dis
covered early, and it is also pre-
ventable," a bulletin from the state
office explains. "More clinics and
surveys to seek out the early cases,
more physical inspections and med
ical examinations of school chill
iren, more nutrition classes and
other preventive work are needed.
Buy Christmas Seals and help ex-
tend the work in your own COM
munity and throughout the state.

THERE WERE THREE OF THEM

There were three of them lying side by side
Brothers of woe in woeful place,
And lad from the banks of the Clyde,
And one a fish'man from Harbor Grace.
The third he hailed from the prairie land
Where the dust of the wheat is powdered gold,
And all young in that hopeless band
If you numbered by years-and yet old.
The first the woman he loved,
And the second hands, hands at all,
While the third wched the stumps of his legs and looked
With hopeless stare at the grimy wall.
Above their heads the wings of the blast
Death went by with kissing breath;
o the thots of their hearts he went past
Were clothed in a garb drear than DEATH
The first man the woman he loved
And the second the rudder he'd never hold,
And the third the pillow he had often showed
AS it broke the sod of the prairie mould
And each craved death blessed thing,
And each in his and separate way
With hardly fear worked loose the thongs
That held the blood in the helpless clay.
There three of them lying side by side,
Stark and dead when the stretchers came;
And somebody muttered, Suicide"
But nobody uttered word of blame!
