WILL HATCH CHICKS
BY THE THOUSAND
J. A. Fish is Developing
New Industry in Sank
Centre
FARMERS INTERESTED
Incubator Handles $4,000
Eggs at One Setting"
Pure Bred Eggs Used

J. A. Fish who has been hand
ling poultry supplies out of Sank
Centre for the past six years is
developing business in this city
which should mean much to poul-
try raisers of this section.
Last fall Mr.. Fish rented the
DR.. Rennicks building, corner Sec
ond and Main street and during
the winter installed a 10000 egg
incubator and will create market
for the sale of day old chicks.
Feb. 27, 1000 eggs were placed
in the machine and with additions
since there are now $4,000 eggs
in the process Of Incubation. The
first Matching will come off March
Is, and MIR. Fish plans on a
Matching every Monday between
500 and 1000 A. NJ, until the
early part of June.
He is putting only eggs from
pure bred poultry in the incubator
and for these eggs he is paying
the farmer a premium of cents
per dozen, cash, over market price.
Mr.. Fish is confident that if the
farmers of this section will 60
with him, year Or two will see
every flock in Western Stearns
and adjacent territory on a pure
bred basis.
Mr.. Fish is doing business under
the name of the Sank Centre
Hatchery. He sent out much lit
erature and is carrying advertising
in most of the newspapers in this
section. Orders for day old chicks
are being received in a crafty
ing manner. The prices range
from S12 90 per hundred for Leg
horns to 5000 per hundred for
the heavier breeds. One of the
reasons for the price difference,
is that a larger percentage of the
Leghorn and light breed eggs
hatch better than those of the
"beef" type.
The egg incubator requires
man to be on hand constantly.
and Mr.. Fish is on the job "a
hours per day, sleeping" with his
chicks, almost.
Inc eggs are flrSt turned on the
18th day, a contrivance gently
turning something over LOO at
a time.
Mr.. Fish stated to the Herald
editor Monday morning that he is
decidedly "small fry" in the
hatchery game. A man in Austin
started in a limited way six years
ago and this year his incubators
handle $500 eggs at single sit
ting.
If Mr.. Fish has the success this
year to which all indications point
he will add two more units to his
plant next year. This increase
will be contingent on his ability
to secure a suitable location.
Many of the farmers of this
community are placing orders for
day old chicks as they realize that
Mr.. Fish's way saves the farmers
wife an endless amount of work
and worry, but is also economical.
Following the close of the in
cubator season Mr.. Fish will re-
sumo his road job of selling poul-
try supplies.

Save Animal Life Plea
to Minnesota Motorists
Needless Slaughter on the High
ways Should Be Avoided, A. A.
A. Head Urges

A plea to motorists to lessen the
sacrifice of animal life on the
highways is made in a statement
issued by T. P. Henry, president
of the American Automobile as
ISOLATION. Dogs, cats, rabbits, chick
ems, turkeys and other birds and
animals, both wild and domesticat-
ed, are the victims of tens of thous-
ands of mishaps every spring and
summer, he points out, and the
great majority could be spared if
every motorist will take it upon
himself to give them a chance.
Undoubtedly many of these
killings are unavoidable" says Mr..
Henry's appeal. "Many, however,
are needless and could have been
prevented if the motorist had been
willing to make the necessary con-
cession to the animals inability to
act with reason.
In one way there is more than
the humane element to the matter
OF giving the animal a chance to
get out of the way. There is the
element of self-protecJion as well.
1t is matter of record that an
animal the size of a dog easily
may cause the wrecking of an au-
tomobile, and this point should be
remembered by all motorists.
cit is obvious, of course, that
no one would expect thoughtful
ness to extend to the absurd limit
of jeopardizing the life of occu-
pants of the car. There have been
hundreds of such unfortunate cas-
es recorded, and they Show the linn
it to which some individuals are
willing to go in protecting animal
life.
"The ranks of motoring" he
concludes, care filled with indi-
viduals who possess the finest in
stincts. Once their attention is
called to the need for cooperation
looking toward the protection OF
animal and bird life, it is certain
they will respond"

Is Made In Resolution

st. Paul March Julius
Schmahl, State Treasurer, con-
ferred Tuesday with C. D.
O'Brien, Jr., Ramsey county at
torney, at the latter's request, re-
garding possible investigation by
county authorities or the grand
jury of the affairs of the State
Treasurer's office.
Simultaneously, resolution
asking that Garfield Brown, state
public examiner, make an audit
and verifcation of the shortage in
the treasurer's office as a result
of the defalcations of Walter Mar
tin, deputy treasurer until a year
ago, was introduced in the State
Senate. a
The summoning of Mr.. Schmahl
following close on the heels of a
telegram from United States Sem
ator Thomas D. SchaH reporting
rumor that shortage existed in
the state treasurer's office and
that the Minnesota Senate's deter
mination to investigate his own
election was forced by the threat
of Farmer-Labor members to de-
/mand an investigation of that Of
flee, brought other facts to light
Tuesday.
Other Facts Disclosed
Among them was that:
Mr.. Schmahl, shortly after he
assumed the office of State Treas
,urer, discovering an unsatisfac-
tory manner in which accounts had
been kept, demanded of Henry
Rines, state comptroller, member
of the State Department of Ad-
ministration and Finance and him
self a former State Treasurer, that
an audit be made of the Treasur-
er's books.
Weeks later, when no attempt
to make the audit had been be-
gun, County Attorney O'Brien be-
gan secret inquiry into the af-
fairs of the office.
There. appears on the accounts
of the State Treasurer's office
fund amounting to more than ST.
100000, known as the revenue
fund, consisting almost entirely of
amounts due the state, some of
them over period of years, which
neither have been collected nor re-
ported uncollectible so sthat they
might be stricken from the re-
cords.
The resolution asking that Gar
field Brown, public examiner,
make an audit of the shortage as
result of the defalcation of Mar
tin, was introduced by Senator
Charles N. Hausler, st. Paul.
The resolution points out that
the Senate has received no report
of the alleged shortage from the
department of Administration and
Finance, and directs the public ex-
aminer TO make an examination of
books in the treasurer's office and
report to the Senate within two
weeks.
Senator C. H. Mackenzie, Gay
lord, an administration leader, gave
notice of debate on the resolution
when it was presented and action
on it went over for another day
under the rules.
Except for the statement made
by Senator Schall, there are no al

Grey Eagle Man Slaps
Sank Centre on Wrist

The following from o. I.
Gevalt of Grey Eagle indi-
Gates that the gentleman is
not highly pleased with the
huge sign arranged by Sank
Centre business men to at
tract the attention of tourists:
Grey Eagle Mimi,
March 5, 1927.
Editor Sank Centre Herald.
My dear Sir: With real regret
read your item striking sign
will attract tourists to "Main
Street."
Sank Centre is a village
blessed with much natural
beauty, a village fortunate in
having during it's early years
men of foresight and sound
common sense. That one of
these men gave the world a
son, and such a worldly son, is
to be regretted. That the de-
cendents of these men should
erect a blatant monstrosity
such as your item describes,
is scarcely understandable.
1t is hard, very hard, to
turn a liability into an asset;
and the street beggar who
draws attention to his in
frmities gets more pity than
cash. Time heals all wounds.
'fMain Street" is dead, as dead
as the rated Gibson Girl and
The Birth of a Nation. There
is a verse you have read
"Dead flies cause the ointment
of the apothecary to send
forth a sinking SAVIOR" and
this verse is true.
Sincerely,
o. l. Gevalt,

HAS NIFTY CONTEST
Pretty Race Between Chas'
Kortan and Nick Brom-
enschenkel for Assessor
BOTH EXCELLENT MEN
Township in Fine Condition
Levy for Next Year
Results in Kandota

Ninety-nine voters OF Sank Gen.
tire township exercised their right
of suffrage Tuesday. This was
the heaviest vote polled in several
years, and it was all brought
about, no doubt, because of the
contest over the office of assessor.
At the caucus held Saturday af-
ternoon Nick Bromenschenkel was
nominated to succeed Charleston
tan.
The latter gentleman had served
in this capacity for % years and
had given general satisfaction.
When his friends learned that he
had not been renominated they
insisted that he run as an indie
pendent candidate for the place.
1t was a pretty race, and when the
ballots were counted it was found
that Mr.. Kortan had clear ma
iority OFFS, the vote being Kor-
tan, 81, Bromenschenkel 81. The
rest of the caucus ticket was elect
ed without opposition. Each candi-
date receiving 80 votes. Both can
didates are splendid citizens.
The officers are:
Supervisor, 3 years-Jos. Beste.
Clerk, one year-W. H. Parker.
Treasurer-Albert Bromensch-
enkel.
Assessor-Charles Kortan.
Constable-Pall Domke.
At the annual town meeting
held at noon the Clerks report dis
closed that the finances of the
township were in splendid condi-
ton, the road and bridge fund
having $2,724. II, the revenue
$3.50. So and the poor fund $67.2S,
total S43,341. 92. At Tuesdays
meetings the following levy was
made: Road and bridge, $3.50;
revenue, 5000; poor fund, $4,000
Kandota Township
There was little contest over the
office of supervisor in Kandota
township. Louis Reese, the pres
ent supervisor was nominated at
the caucus. Monday afternoon a
little excitement was stirred up by
the entering of A. D. jacobson
in the race.
This contest brought out &C
votes. Mr.. Reese was reelected
by majority of IL, receiving 80
votes to 27 cast for Mr.. Jacobson.
A we'll known citizen of Kan
dota township in discussing the
election with the Herald Wednes-
day afternoon said it was unfor-
tunate that anything had develop
ed to stir up the citizens of the
township. Both candidates for
supervisor were splendid citizens,
he said, but the majority of them
felt that Mr.. Reese had made an
excellent official and should be re-
tanned.
The clerks report showed that
the township was in good condi-
ton. There were no outstanding
bills and the balance in the
treasury was nominal. At the
town meeting $1,000 was levied,
$1,000 for the road and bridge
and $500 for the revenue.
The following officers were
elected:
Supervisor, three years-Louis
Reese.
Clerk-Jonas Eckberg.
Assessor, two years, Carl Eek
lund.
Treasurer-John Kortan.
Justice of the Peace-Carl En-
bloom.
Andrew Hector had served the
township as assessor for several
years, but declined to be can
didate for reelection.
