The producers, refners, and mar
keters of 1907 Pennsylvania grade
oil have banded together to guard
the established reputation of their
product, and at the same time to pro-.
tect the motor vehicle owners who
recognize the superiority of pure
Pennsylvania quality. Because of the
limited quantity and high price Of
Pennsylvania crude, there has grown
up a practice of mixing oil refined
from Pennsylvania crude with that
refined from other crudes, and mar
keting this blended or synthetic prod
uct with the implication that it is
Pennsylvania grade. It is not Penn
sylvania grade, any more than suit
half wool and half cotton is wool
suit.
For this season the producers refners and mar
keters OF 100 per cent Pennsylvania oil have
formed the Pennsylvania Grade Crude OH Asso-
citation, and created the emblem shown below to
identity their products. It appears only on prod
ucts refined from 100 per cent Pennsylvania crude.
BE guided by it. Look for it at filing stations
and on all containers represented to hold pure
pennsylvania oil. It is your guarantee Of the ut
most in lubricating efficiency.

Catholic Women and Girls of St.
Cloud Diocease Have Arranged
Splendid Program

The Missionary Association of
Catholic Women and Girls with

vention at Melrose May &c.

will be an exhibit of vestments,
altar linens and other mission
goods made by the good ladies and
children of Melrose and surround
ing towns for the poor missions
and will be open for inspection of
interested delegates and visitors.
A mass meeting will take place
in the evening at which most de-

ton will be the iveliest ever hald
by the Ladies Mission Society in
the diocese of St. Cloud.

COSTLY LITIGATION

The state supreme court handed
down a decision last week which is
its fourth in the celebrated "cow
case" from Red Wing, and it shows
to what extent stubborn folks will
go sometimes when they have more
money than sense. C. A. Sargent
sold a COW there i'm 1920 to A. C.
Bryan for $500. Mr.. Bryan was
dissatisfied with his bargain and
told l.. W.. Sargent, a son of C..
A. Sargent, to resell the COW for
him. The cow was sold to James
McDonough, of Winona for only
800. Bryan had not paid the
$500 and C. A. Sargent sued him
for this amount. He finally won
after carrying the case to the SUI
preme court twice. Then Bryan
sued L. w. Sargent for $500 claim
ing he did not authorize the sale
for 500. He also wins after go
ing to the supreme court second
time. 1t is estimated that the
fees and costs Of the case will
amount to 1,400.

Home Talent Minstrels
/ Pleased Large Audience
Sank Centre Country Club Will
Net Tidy Sum in Their Enter
tainment Venture

The third annual Minstrel show
staged by Sank Centre talent at
the Caughren theatre Thursday,
Friday and Saturday evenings of
last week, pleased the people i'm
mensely, if reports by those attend
ing is a gauge of public sentiment.
The audiences this year were
not quite as large as two years ago
but the condition Of the roads un-
doubtedly were responsible.
Every number on the progrem,
which lasted two full hours, had
merit and was roundly applauded.
Mayor Lynn Whitson, as usual,
outniggered a real African in his
stunts. The solos were well rem
dered and the harmony of the cir
Gle was a musical treat.
The outstanding act Of the Sec
ond Part was that of P. W.. Han
son, leader of Sank Centres Boys
band. Mr.. Hanson played a num-
Der of stringed instruments, the
cornet and mouth organ. His
stunt of playing the cornet and
mandolin at the same time was ex-
tremely difficult and well rendered.
Saturday evening the solo artists
were individually presented with
flowery tokens of rhubarb, carrots
banana stalks and other choice me-
mentoes. A can was given Man.
ager VIM. Parker, and Asa Wallace
was presented with a goat, the
handiwork of Ben Morgan. AT
diverse times during rehearsal and
production the "Goat" of the gen.
tleman was secured, but withal the
gang were a splendid bunch to
work with.
The stage settings were devised
by and arranged by Ben Morgan
and Charles Harrison, and the re-
suit was very pleasing to the eye.
The net proceeds, which will be
tidy sum of several hundred dol
lars, will be turned over to the
Country Club.

Flood Sufferers
Need Much Help
People of This Community Have
Been Fairly Liberal But Many
More Should Respond

Every day brings reports of
devastation and suffering caused by
the rampage of the old Mississippi
in the South. Towns are wiped
out and hundreds of families are
made destitute almost without a
moments warning.
The American people are re-
spending to the call for help in a
splendid manner. "A drive for
voluntary contributions has been
going on in this city for the past
two weeks. Up to this Thursday
morning only $50 out of approx
mately 5000 in this territory have
responded.
It is planned now to close the
drive Monday, May %. The Her
aid will publish the names of the
donors.
It is most worthy cause. F.
w. Sprague of the First National
Bank, is the treasurer of the local
drive. Your contribution need not
be large.
Sank Centre and community
have never failed in an emergency
of this sort. The local fund is
still at least $50 short of what it
should be. Get in touch with Mr..
Sprague not later than Monday,
May %.

E. c. Calkins Expired on
Train Wednesday Night
Hollywood Spirit In
vades "Main Street.

A few of the Main Street
citizens were given a rare
treat Monday afternoon when
three young ladies, supposedly
of Hollywood, California,
gave an extemporaneous dane
ing exhibition near Otto's
Garage. The ladies in COM
pany with two gentlemen
rolled into town in a Ford
car, designed as a house on
wheels. They storped at the
garage to have the car re-
paired. During the long wait
time hung heavy on their
hands. Their Hollywood ma
ture arose within them and a
dancing chorus ensued. Spec
tators said that the actresses
displayed clever dancing abil-
ity. We have yet to learn
whether the aggregation was
a show troop or whether the
ladies were merely taking that
means of shaking the dust of
travel from their shoes and
taking the kinks out of their
legs. Nevertheless, next
time you take an auto trip
try it as a remedy for the
latter affliction.

ATTEMPT TO WRECK
500 PASSENGER
Four Kimball Lads Arrested
Wednesday Charged
With Ofense
LOOKING FOR THRILLS
WANTED to See People
Killed" Youth Is Alleged
to Have Confessed

Four Kimball, Stearns county
boys, ranging from II to 13 years
of age, are in custody at st. Cloud
charged with an attempt to wreck
500 line passenger train which
resulted in a near derailment at
Kimball Sunday afternoon.
The limited Coast train, east
bound, No. 106, was nearly wreck
ed as the result of the depreda-
ton, to which three lads are al
legged to have confessed.
The lads are Edward and Earl
Gasser, sons of julius Gasser, of
Kimball, Earl Struck, son of Ben
Struck; the fourth lad arrested is
Elwood Hamilton, aged IL, son of
Erwin Hamilton. The latter has
defied all Attempts to question him
and has made no statement.
The train is due at Kimball at
3:42 p. NJ, and was going at ter
rife rate of speed when it rounded
a curve approaching the village of
Kimball. The bolt which caused
the near crash was pounded into.
the space between the ends of ad-
joining rails. The engineer saw
the shadow cast down the shiny
rail by the bolt and applied the
air.
The front trucks of the engine
left the track, breaking the bolt,
and the drivers held to the track.
The fact that the drivers held
probably saved many from death.
The entire train rocked for a mo-
ment and the train crew thought
that it would surely derail, but it
held to the track.
D. L. Webb, special agent, in
vestigated the near crash, and
picked up the lads late yesterday.
The three who confessed stated, ac-
cording to authorities. that their
aim was to cause a great train
wreck.
When asked if they did not
realize that their effort might have
caused the loss of life, one of them
replied, "that's what we wanted.
I'VE wanted to see people killed. :"
Further questioning was delay
ed until the lads can be given a
hearing. Following the hearing
they will be bound over to Juvenile
court, and their cases set for May
Fl. - st. Cloud Journal-Press,
May 10.

591,500 Autos in
State; New Record
If Rate Is Left Up for Balance
of 1927 100000 Will Be
Available for Highways

New records in automobile reg
istration in Minnesota were hit
today when Mike Holm, secretary
of state, reported that 591,567 au-
tomobiles have been licensed.
Income to the state for high
way purposes from the fee collec-
ton totals $9,185, 1878. SO, or 10
per cent more than last year. In
1926, from May 13 to the end of
the year total of 84,977 new cars
were registered bringing in ST.

If the 10 per cent increase holds
good for 1927, Mr.. Holm pointed
out that collections for the year
will near the 100000 mark.

Negroes Build Ark,
1t Wouldn't Float

Memphis, May 12-Exhort-
ed by their parson, a commun-
ity of Negroes in the out
lands near Parkin, Ark, en-
ulated the example of Noah
when they heard the flood was
approaching and hastily built
an lark" Into the crude yes
sci, they crowded themselves
and their worthy belongings,
including chickens, dogs, cats
and mules. While they waited
for the flood, they prayed and
rejoiced.
The flood came, but the ark
refused to float. Water poured
in from a hundred leaks in the
uncaulked hull and with the
flood foot and a half deep on
the flood of the flat-bottomed
craft, its occupants fled to a
railway embankment.
