Brooten c Community Fair
Breaks Former Records
Western Stearns County Village
Arranges Fine Program and
Has Splendid Exhibits

The annual Brooten Community
fair held Thursday and Friday of
last week broke attendance records
in spite of extremely unfavorable
weather.
During the few years the or
ganization had been in existence
sponsored by the wide-awake bus
mess men of Brooten the fair has
become recognized as one of the
foremost Community Fairs in the
state. This years program was
unusually high class; the exhibits
of live stock, while not so numer-
Gus, perhaps, as in some other
years, was decidedly the best in
quality.
A feature of the Fair was the
Poultry Show which demonstrated
very nicely that Western Stearns
breeders are fully alive to the ad-
vantage of raising high class birds.
Thursday the paid admissions
We're 1745 and Friday they were
1891. Sauk Centre and vicinity
sent large delegations to the Fair
both days.
The officers of the association
are w. J. Ryff, president, and j.
B. Wall, secretary. There will be
a snug balance left in the treas
ury after all bills are paid.

you attend this, their first public
appearance, so that you may see
what progress they have made in
the few months since the band was
organized. P. W. Hanson, direct
or Of the band has worked hard
giving both individual and group
instruction and his results have far
exceeded even the most optimistic
hopes of the sponsors of the Boys
Band.
There is no question but what
this organization will be one of the
big assets of the City of Sauk
Centre. 1t will be great incen-
tive to further efforts on the part
of the boys and their leader if a
good number turn out for their
first public rehearsal at eight
o'clock Thursday evening, Oct.

FORD coLLIDEs WITH TRAIN

Robert Roen, a farmer living
northwest of Sauk Centre, narrow
ly escaped severe injury or death
Saturday evening about 10 o'clock,
when his car was struck by Great
Northern freight train.
Mr.. Roen was driving a Ford
Tudor and approaching the G. N.
Railway crossing on Second street.
He says he did not see the freight
train which was also approaching
the. crossing at the same time. The
pilot of the locomotive struck the
car squarely in the center of the
right side of the body caving it in
considerably, breaking much of the
glass from the windows and bend
ing the frame beyond repair. The
impetus of the impact tilted the
vehicle off the tracks and it be-
came clear of the moving train.
Roen was shaken up and bruised
slightly. He was the only occu-
pant of the car.

Luceurr Season
Opens Oct. 18th
De Jen and Company in Mystery
Program Have Unique Offer
ing-Season Tickets on Sale

Spirits, do they come back !?
This question. has undoubtedly puz-
zled every human being at one
time or another. Has there ever
been any real proof that they do
come back? These, with many 9TH
er interesting and thrilling topics
will be demonstrated as we'll as
discussed when De Jen and Com
pany come to Sauk Centre, We'd
nesday, Oct. IL. It is undoubted-
ly the most unique and instructive
entertainment in the realm of mys-
terry that has been given.
Mr.. De Jen has been an ardent
student of things psychic from
the time he was a mere youth, both
in Europe and in this country. He
has known the fortune-tellers, the
clairvoyants, the crystal gazers,
the followers of spiritism, and can
do all these things himself. Even
in Alaska he visited the wigwams
and the haunts of the Indians,
learning of their superstitions. He
is assisted by Lucille De Jen, ar
tist at the piano and a soprano of
real vocal ability. They have a
special surprise in mental work,
which combines music and mental
telepathy in marvellous way. This
alone will be worth the price of
admission.
The DeJens will give the self
same mental-and-musical demon
stration which caused such a fur
ore in Cleveland, as well as in
several auditoriums in Philadelphia
where they played a week. Lu-
cille DeJen's repertoire in music
was developed under four teachers,
two of whom were Lila Robson,
Metropolitan Opera star, and Felix
Hughes, noted New York instruct
or.
If you have not been solicited
for your season tickets, they may
be secured at the Corner Drug
Store beginning Monday, October
10th. The price of the season
ticket for adults is $3.50 and
$1.00 for school children. Single
admissions for the Wednesday
evening program will be SOC for
adults and 35c for children. Ly-
ceum programs will all begin at
8:15 p. M.

Noted Organist at
St. Paul's Oct. IS
Mime. Colburn, of New York, VIII
Give Recital in Sauk Centre in
Program of Classical Music

Nine. Margaretha CoEburn, not
ed concert organist of New York,
has been booked by st. Paul's Par
ish, of this city, for a recital at the
church Sunday evening at 500
o'clock.
The lady is meeting with marked
success in tour she is making of
the better Minnesota cities. In
speaking of the concert at New
Ulm, the Journal of that city un-
der date of Sept. 16 says:
"The concert of Nine. Colburn,
noted concert organist of New
York City at Holy Trinity Church,
Tuesday evening, was rare musi-
cal treat. The public did not realize
until after the concert, what such
an organ recital means, and what
can be accomplished on that queen
of instruments. Mime Colburn
played on the Rueter organ, an in
strument responding to and meet
ing all her requirements. The pro-
gram which she presented was
composed of selections from the
most beautiful works Of the mod
ern and old masters, the latter of
which she most loves to play, and
deviated greatly in style from the
usual organ recital, which does not
appeal.
Understanding the modern world
she transposes with splendid art,
works of which it was formerly
said could not be performed on
the. organ. She banishes at once this
false illusion, by appealing direct
to those of her audience who do
not understand music in it's techni-
cal terms.
Mime. Colburn will be assisted
by the Missed Mildred Geuting,
Verena Gaspard and Richard
Schoenhoff with a selection of sac
red songs.

Small Boys, a Loaded Rifle
A Dangerous Combination
Jack Wallace Schramm Shot in
Leg by Companion While on
Skunk Hunt

Friday afternoon, of last week,
after the close of school, Jack Wal
lace Schramm and James Meyer of
Willard, both seven year old, un-
lbeknown to their parents, started
on skunk hunting expedition.
The boys secured a % rifle be-
longing to James father; Jim knew
where his dad kept the cartridges
and they were all "set" to run Mr..
Skunk down in his lair. The boys
were out about a mile and half
from the village when the rifle
which was being carried exploded,
the bullet striking Jack in the left
leg about three inches above the
knee. Jim hid the rifle, and hust-
led for help, and found George
Johnson working in the field near
ly mile away. Mr.. Johnson ac-
costed some travellers on Highway
No. % and asked them to help him
get a boy to town who had been
shot, but they said they had 100
miles to travel and didn't have
time. A more humane gentleman
was found a little later and he
assisted in getting Jack into town.
Medical assistance was summoned
from Sank Cntre. The doctor was
not able to locate the bullet with
out an X-Ray. The injured boy
was brought to the Sank Centre
hospital. The X-Ray located tha
bullet partially in the bone. It's
route barely missed the artery
and nerve. After removing the
bullet Jack was taken to the home
of his grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Asa M. Wallace. He is apparent
ly recovering as rapidly as can be
expected. He, is being kept in bed
for a couple of weeks, but his re-
covery is expected to. be complete.
A fire-arm appears to have an
attraction for the average Amer
lean boy. AS near as can be learn
ed both boys were equally at
fault, and all are thankful that
their experience was not more dis
astrous.

These are some of the teachings

the children in the schools and in
sist on the little ones taking all
in without a doubt. We teach, not
these myths, but the dear old in

our little Brownies and they take
it in and it transforms their lives
and wins their souls, saving them

for them.
