A S | { r

Easter comes at a glad season
of the year. The festival itself,
is both commemorative Of the re-
surrection of Jesus Christ and as
a memorial to the. atonement
wrought by the death of the Mas
ter upon the cross.
It is hailed with great acclaim
in all the Christian churches of
the world. In Greek and Latin
and i n the languages derived
from them, Easter was known as
"Padcha" "Pasch" ''Pasqua"
'Pascua" "Pasques." ETC., from
the Chaldee word "Pascha' the
equivalent Of the Hebrew Pes
ach." The Destroying Angels"
act is recalled by the last name
in passing over" the household
of the Hebrew when he smote the
Egyptians, and disclosed the 18th.
chapter Of Exodus.
This year Easter will fall on
April II. The way b y which
Easter is determined is that of
the first Sunday after the paschal
moon the fourteenth day Of cal
endar moon, or the full moon that
happens upon or next after March
q; and if the moon happens on a
Sunday, then Easter day is the
next Sunday following.
AS usual Clintwood churches
will observe Easter day with ell
aborate programs. 1t is an event
that children and grown, ups have
learned to look forward to with
much pleasure; it is an event all
should remember with some be-
autiful thought for the day.

The NATIONAL COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION

Philadelphia, April IL Nellie
Taylor Ross, Americas first wo-
man governor, sees a wonderful
opportunity for women to express
themselves" trough The National
Community Foundations plan for
popular education and culture
advancement. The former woman
governor of Wyoming made this
statement in a letter received
here today by Paul M. Pearson
trustee of the FoudaUion, in which
she said:
THE biggest thing any woman
can do for her community is to
make it a better place in which
TO live and bring up Children.
The Foundations plan aims to
do this, it was explained, by seek
ing a S., 900, 900 endowment. Part
of the income will be used for al
all-year Junior Town organization
for children in the SWarthmore
Chautauqua towns, of which Clint
wood is one. The remainder of
the income will be applied to
building up the Chautauqua pro-
grams and to maintaining all-year
extention activities for local COM
munity benefit and advancement.
AS | read the plan Of The Nat
ional Community Foundation" !,
Mrs. Ross said, II am impressed
with what wonderful oppertun-
ity this plan offers to the people
in the Swathmore Chautauqua
towns. If they rise to support it,
as | believe they will, they Ger
tainly will win the admiration of
other towns and the aid of those
philanthorpists whose money can
help build this vision into a gle
rious reality.
AS a Wsman, | cannot but
think of what this plan can mean
to the woman and what they can
mean to it. They can make it live.
they can make it a splendid med
ium through which to express
themselves.
Mrs. Ross expressed particular
interest in the Foundations plan
because it's ultimate aim is nat
ional and it's success in the towns
where it is first begun, she be-
lieves, will make them pioneers
in the opening of a new era in
the progress of democracy.

Poultry Shou
Meeting Tuesday
Dates for 1927 Show Will Be Set
and Plans Laid for Bigger and
Better Exhibition

President H. F. Hennemann of
the Stearns County Poultry Show
has called a meeting of all
those interested in better poultry
at the Sank Centre Community
Club rooms, Tuesday evening, Jan.
II, at 500 o'clock to discuss plans
and set the dates for the 1927
show in this city.
The first annual show held last
winter at the Armory was splen-
did success but not as many poul-
try raisers exhibited as should,
with the consequence that prize
money for some of the breeds
went out of this territory.
There is nothing raised on the
farm which pays as good revenue
for money invested and time spent
as poultry. The purpose of the
Poultry Show is to encourage the
poultry raisers of this community
to raise better birds.
Much of the success of last
years show was attributed to
the untiring efforts of the secre-
tary, Mrs. Robert Plant, and the
manager, George Minette.
Attend Tuesday evenings meet
ing whether you raise poultry or
not. The show is not only good
thing for the farmer and small
poultry raiser but for the business

One Death for 1850
Cars; Condition Improves
1925 Record Better Than 1924,
Better Than Average State,
But Could Be Improved

Minnesota-had one automobile
death" for every 1,450 cars reg
istered in 1925, according to sta
tistics compiled by the National
Conference on Street and High
way Safety. Only five states,
Iowa, North Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas and Colorado had better
record. Iowa had only one death
for every 2,190 cars. The aver
age for the nation was one death
for 923 cars. Florida had death
for every 597 cars and New York
one for every 731 cars.
The large cities showed high
er ratio of deaths than the smaller
cities and rural districts. This ac-
counts in part for the higher pro-
portion Of accidents in the eastern
states. Minnesota's death rate,
however, was lower in 1925 than
in 1924, there being 14.5 for ev-

and rs. 5 in 1926.

several days trip to Sioux City
Iowa, where they attended the an
nual meeting of the managers and
superintendent of the Swift &

H. B. Collins of Chicago world

At the annual meetings business
handled during the proceeding year
is discussed and plans are laid for
the coming years activities:

the youngest, but under the
management of Mr.. Schmidt it
is doing a business which is very
satisfactory to the company and to
the farmers.
Within short time the Herald
will publish a detailed statement
of the amount of money paid out
during 1926 to the farmers and
for labor. At the peak Of the
season the Sank Centre plant

Fast Basketball
Monday Euening
st. Johns University, With Walter
Moynihan and Clifford Play
Legionaires in This City

Sank Centre basket ball fans
are in for treat Monday, Janu-
airy 10, when one of the big games
of the season will: be played be-
tween the St. Johns University
team and the Legion All Stars.
In the first game between the
two teams at Collegeville, the
Legion lost out in the last few
minutes Of play when Schoeneck-
err, Johnny captain and star, Gag
ed two baskets to win for his
team, after a nip and tuck battle
all the way. Of special interest,
in connection with Mondays
game, is the fact that the St.
Johns lineup will include Walter
Moynihan, Sank Centres All-Re-
gional Guard of 1925. 1t will be
the only opportunity for most
Sank Centre fans to see him in
action playing under his college
colors. At one. forward will be
Clifford, Osakis flash and free
throw artist. A large number of
seats will be taken by Osakis fans,
who will travel here for the
game. Durenberger, selection of
coaches for center position on the
AlllConference foot ball team,
will be at the other guard posi-
ton. 1t is also possible that
Strack, Long Prairie guard, will
get in the game. The game will be
called promptly at 8 o'clock, and
it will probably be necessary to
arrive early to secure good seats.
A preliminary game between" the
Osakis Boy Scouts and the Sank
Centre Boy Scouts will be played
at 7:30.
After the game the Legion
management has arranged for a
dance at the Community rooms,
for which the Novelty Mite Owls
will furnish the music. Only so
cents will be charged. Admission
to the game will be slightly raised
to so cents for adults and 25
cents for children.
