Arrives at Decision After Reading
the Herald's Sixtieth Anniver-
sary Edition

Recently the Herald editor re
ceived a request from the Bridge
port, Mass, Post, asking for a cop
of the Goth anniversary edition il

recent date:
'eMain Street" has suffered
long enough.
After a decade of ignominy
endured in silence, "Main
Street" has answered. One
facile pen has pitted itself
against the other.
Facile pen No. belonged
to Sinclair Lewis, whose
'eMain Street" the good peo-
pie of Sank Centre, Mime
sofa, took as a direct satire
on their own "city," Lewis,
home town. F4
! Facile pen No. 2 belonged
to Editor A. M. Wallace of the
Sank Centre Herald, who Sn
his Goth anniversary issue,
just received by the Sunday
Post, has portrayed "the other
side of Main Street." to use
the words of the Minneapolis
Journal and that street, by
the way, is a paved street,
Editor Wallace emphasizes.
Furthermore he declares
through one half column of
"Sauk Centre Up to Date
: Resume of Late Years." it
is not the only paved street
in Sank Centre.
That the notable book by
Sinclair Lewis, Yale man,
former Connecticut news
paper man, and one time resi-
dent of West Hartford, was
taken as a direct aspersion
against the town and towns
men Of the author, was stated
by Editor Wallace, who said:
"When Sinclair Lewis
Main Street was cast upon
the literary world people
East, South, West and North
took it for granted that he
had his native town, Sank
Centre, in mind and that he
picked the characters for this
piece of fiction from his old
neighbors."
What happened then? Edit
or Wallace declares that the
people East, West North,
and South have come to
Sank Centre on what he does
not say but implies has been
q literary pilgrimage.
And what they have found!
It is this topic which the Goth
anniversary number of the
Sank Centre Herald is vital
ly concerned. What they

Gravelling on Highway
Number 4 Well Under Way
Completion of Project Calls For
Coat of Light Gravel, OiIing
and Then Heavy Gravel.

One Of the biggest pieces Of
road improvement undertaken this
season by the State Highway Com
mission is rapidly nearing compile
ton. We refer to the gravelling
of the new route Of State Trunk
Highway No. a between this vii
lage and Sank Centre and the new
portion of Trunk Highway No. 20
from Sank Centre west two and a
half miles. travelling Of No. A
has been under way for the past
two weeks and has progressed to a
point at this the north end of the
contract, that the big rock crush
ing and gravel screening machine
has been moved from the gravel
pit at the Blackenburg hill to a
point further south. Another move
of the machinery to point still
further south will be made before
the gravelling is completed.
A Leader reporter visited the
gravel pit at the Blackenburg hill
one afternoon this week and was
quite interested in the operations
there under way. "A great pit has
been dug in the center of the high
hill on the west side of the old
route of No. A In this pit there
is a large hopper, or scoop, which
is pulled back and forth by long
cable operated by a traction en-
CINE placed north of the pit. AS
needed this great scoop is hauled
forward loaded with rock and gra-
vel which it scoops up of its own
accord enroute. It is automatical-
ly dumped over a screen which is
placed over a conveyor belt, this
screen holding back all rocks of
large size to be handled by the
crusher and screening machine,
which is located just west of the
gravel pit. The conveyor belt car
ries the rock and gravel into the
crusher and screening machine
where rocks of fully six inches in
diameter are reduced to fine
quality of gravel. From the crush
er the screened gravel flows in a
steady stream along a conveyof
belt which dumps it into the COM
pany's trucks and is by them TAX
en- to the road and distributed
thereon. The company uses from
seven to dozen trucks. as needed
according to short hauls, and in
such numbers that there is no lost
motion in the operation of the
crusher, and the entire operation
proceeds as smoothly and evenly
as could possibly be imagined.
Kenneth Olson, son of the contrac-
Tor, is the foreman in charge at
the gravel pit.
In the crawling process on these
two roads a different procedure
than that usually followed is the
rule. The trucks have been dump
ing their loads in a consecutive
string along one side of the road,
and in addition have been piling
up at advantageous points great
stock piles of the screened gravel.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
first coating of gravel to be laid
is to be light one and that when
this is finally laid the entire road
is to be given a coating of oil sim
liar to that used in oiling the
streets Of Long Prairie. This hav-

WANT SUBSTITUTE
 ID MAKE STEAM
Coal Conference Discusses Re moving Clinkers From Ashes

Pittsburgh. Nov. 2 N-Takins tho clinkers out of the American family ash heap and finding substi- tutes for water for making steam were among the subjects presented today to the second international conference on bituminous coal at the Carnegie Institute of Technology.
 w. D. Langmtry and J. F. Ko- hout of the Commercial Testing and Engineering company of Chicago reported in a joint paper that com plaints about clinkers in family and apartment ashes had led to investi- gations that would ultimately in- clude various mixtures of coals. Their first finding was that the American habit of throwing into the furnace scraps from the dining table. broken glass and bits of metal caused extra clinkers.
 Wants Substitute
 Substitutes for water in produc- ing steam were discussed by H. c. Parmelee. editor of Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. He said the difficulty with water is that for safely withstanding steam pressure the mechanical engineer does not dare so to much higher tempera- lures or pressures until the chemi- cal engineer supplies him with stronger materials for boilers. The chemical engineer expects to de- velop better structural materials. but Is asking whether there is not some better substance than water for steam. Three such substances were enumerated. One was mercury, already in limited use. but having too inadequate . source of supply to replace water. Two others were chemicals. di-phenyl and di-phenyl oxide respectively. Both have been under experiment. but Mir. Parme. lee said the results are not yet con. vincing.
 Power Consumption to Jump
 Forecast of q tremendous jump in electric power consumption in which coal-made steam will hold its own against hydraulic power was made by A. k. Smith of the Gen. eral Electric company, Schenectady. He said the electric power consump- tion in the United States 'is ap- preaching 100 billion kilowatt hours annually and it may reach 200 bil- lion early in the 40's if the present rate of increase continues" Of this

Jones himself became q direc- tor and in 1919 was made treasurer In 1920 he was elected vice presi- dent and had won the reputation of knowing more about the natural gas business than any man of the day.
 The eve of Mir Jones' election as chairman brought an illness grow ing out of a neglected cold and years of too constant application to work. Associates insisted that the six-foot, 1.-the and normally healthy chairman go to southern France for a real vacation. the first he ever had taken. but 1t ended In his de- voting his time to work with foreign subsidiaries of the corporation. Two years later he had a serious break down in health and was sent to Bermuda. He returned and for sev- eral weeks appeared to be in his old good health. but intestinal dis orders again troubled him. He en- tered Harbor hospital for an ab- dominal operation performed Sep tember 20 last. then underwent a second on October Ii. followed by blood transfusions.

PERU AWAITING l H00VER'S COMING
Anxious to Demonstrate Friend.
 ship for United States

Lima, Peru. Nov. 22 (UP)-Poli- tical circles in Peru are awaiting Herbert Hoover's visit with the keenest anticipation in the belief that it presages an impetus to the constantly friendly relations between l Peru and the United States. Peru in recent years has been one of the chief supporters of the United States policies in Latin America and the American viewpoint , in the functions of the Pan-Ameri- can union. Peru is expected to con- tinue her support of the Washington government at the forthcoming in- ter-American arbitration and concil- iation conference at Washington. Two Disputes
 Mir. Hoover on his visit here will find only two boundary disputes in which Peru is involved. One is the Tacna-Arica dispute with Chile and the other is the boundary controver- sy with Ecuador. In view of the fact that President Coolidge acted as ar- bitrator in the Tacna-Arica dispute and the fact that the United States. recently recognized the administra- ton of President Ayora of Ecuador. it is natural that the Peruvian states men will be anxious to explain their country's viewpoint in these ques- tions.
 The Tacna-Arica dispute is now the subject of direct negotiations between the two countries involved. and. although there are now no me- gotiations taking place between Peru and Ecuador on their contro- versy. diplomatic relations exist be- tween the two countries and would provide the means for negotiations looking toward an amicable settle- ment of the problem.
 Want Settlement
 It is assumed here that some time during the Hoover administration. negotiations will be begun with Ecuador for settlement of the dis pute, with the possibility that one or both of the nations will ask the good offices of the United States in the matter.
 Likewise. 1t Is believed that Mir. Hoover's visit 10 both Peru and Chile on his trip will increase the possibility of a friendly settlement of the Tacna-Arica dispute.

was gone from Mrs. Milburn sud denly. Emmy, this is the time you need your mother. So many men in the world-so many men who aren't good men. Emmy, I can't let you go. I'd do anything before I'd let you go."
 For some mysterious reason a through Emmy's brain. His eyes, and the, way he had looked at her.
 I'm going" she said. T never can have any friends in Flower street. I never can bring anyone here-anyone I want to know. Re- member what happened to the Fri day Club the day they came?"
 She never would forget that. she told herself. She never would for get the things that Jim Baldwin had said to her the day he had met her down town and told her why
 Oh, no! Those were things that had left scar on her for ever. She never would forget them, no matter how high she rose above Flower street! And she was going to rise! Let anyone try to stop her. now!
 Mrs. Milburn turned and went out of the room.
 1 Emmy heard her cross the bare 1 painted floor of the hall, heard her go into her own room at the front of the house and shut its door be- hind her.
 "She's going to pray" Emmy knew that. "She's going to ask God to keep me here. But if she knew what was right for me. she'd ask Him to let me go!"
 1 Grandmother Pentland's voice came up the stairway: What's hap pened up there? Are you all dead 1-or what?"
 Then there came the sound of Mrs. Milburn's door opening.
 She stood on the threshold of Emmy's room for moment, and over the whitening roses of her face had come change-the calm bright look that she always brought with her from the sanctuary of the l clothes closet with its tiny window that faced the east. Emmy knew that look.
 You wait her a minute, Emmy" she said, and then as if she were re- l beating a message from someone: This is going to be-all right" She went down the stairs that she ! had covered with so many coats of 1 white paint the wooden hill. She was gone many minutes. The carly dusk came down through the rain, and lights quivered like fire flies in the windows of the woolen mill. Three blocks away came the | rumble of the New York flier on its 1 way to the coast.
 The voice of the McMylers' moth- CT walled through the storm: "Chil- dren! Get in here! Get in here, | Neddy or I'll warm your pants f.r you! Get in here. all of you." To Emmy, listening as she packed her | things. it sounded like the voice of | Flower street itself. Discouraged l and without hope or happiness. She picked up her suitcase and a | pasteboard hatbox and started down l the stairs.

 A new Held for coal was an- nounced in a joint paper by Dr.. Andre kling and Daniel Florentin. respectively director of the munich pal laboratory. Paris. France. and subdirector. The French chemists told of adding what is known aa . catalyst to liquified coal in such a manner as to transform into com mercial products elements in coal not fully reached by other pro- cesses. Out of the phenol in coal they made 'benzine toluene." Other experiments produced gasolines and oils.

As she reached the landing. Mrs. Milburn started up. GO back to your room, I want to talk to you. she said. and Emmy dragged her luggage up the steps again. Her mother closed the door and stood with her frail shoulders press ed against it.
 "I'm not going to lose you" she said quickly. We're all going to leave together! We're going to move into your grandmother's house as soon as we can get out of here"
 Emmy dropped down on the bed behind her, thunderstruck.
 "You don't mean it! It can't be true." she gasped. That big house -oh, Mother. it's a miracle.."
 "It's no miracle, Emmy" said Mrs. Milburn briskly. "'Ask and it shall be given you. Knock. and it shall be opened unto you. Seek, and ye shall find.' I've said that to you before, Emmy"
