suitable Christmas gifts ad-
vertised by Sauk Centre busi-
ness men.
The issue means much ov-
ertime for the entire Herald
force and satisfactory results
can only be obtained by the
business men cooperating in
getting advertising copy in
early. If we can secure some
of this copy Saturday we can
give the advertiser much bet
ter service than we can if he
delays until Tuesday.

Petition Commission to
Open South Part Of Sauk
Fishing Licenses Expire January
Must Be Renewed for
Winter Angling

According to announcement of
the Game and Fish Commission
Grand Lake, Pearl Lake, Pleas
ant Lake, the north half of Lake
Koronis and the south half of Big
Birch Lake and that part of Rice
Lake in Stearns county are closed
to winter spearing. Sauk Lake
has been closed for several years.
A petition made by local men
and largely signed has been sent
to the commission with the request
that the south part of Sauk Lake
be opened to winter spearing. With
additional lakes in the county be-
ing closed each year it is proble-
matical whether or not the petition
will be granted. However, Sauk
Lake is open for winter angling.
All those wishing to fish thru
the ice must purchase licenses be-
fore January 1, 1929. Fishing Ii
censes are issued from the first
of the year and expire at the
close of the year. Licenses to
spear must be taken out immed-
lately. These licenses can be
purchased at any of the local hard
ware dealers.
At the beginning of this season
angling licenses could not be pur-
chased, hence, everyone fished thru
the ice without molestation. 1t is
understood that commencing with
the first of the year, however, all
must have 1929 licenses, as the
law will be enforced as intended.

Truck and Trailer Put
On Fancy Exhibition
White Way Post Corner Third and
Main Broken Third Time
in Two Weeks.

Raymond Brothers trucks
caused excitement to run
high in Sauk Centre last eve-
ming.
To begin with, a heavily
loaded truck and trailer came
laundering into town about
1880 o'clock. As it rounded
the Palmer House corner on
to Third street, a skidding
mishap occurred. The driver
had completed but half the
turn, placing the truck and
trailer nearly at right angles.
While in this position on a
slippery street skidding was
inevitable. The trailer pushed
the truck sideways over the
curb and far up onto the side
walk. AS it went, it moved
down the white way post and
a drinking fountain and came
to rest only few feet from
the wall of the Hotel. This
is the third time in less than
two weeks that this particular
post has been wrecked.
Later in the night, or ap-
proximately 3 o'clock this
morning, many of the lighter
sleepers of the town were
awakened by what might
have been an attempt to
bomb the city. A high pres
sure explosion, which ratified
plate glass and shook build
ings for blocks around was
the cause of the furore. 1t
was nothing more or less than
$50 pounds of air escaping at
one time, from one of the
huge tires on Raymond
Brothers truck, as it stood in
an oil station, casing up.
1t has been suggested that
gravel on the pavement at
street intersections would les
sen the danger of skidding.

FIRE RAZES HOME
SCHOOL BUILDING
HOmecroft Cottage Burned to
Ground Late Thursday
Night of Last Week
WAS FRAME FIRE TRAP
Eighteen Girl Inmates Had
Retired for Night-LOss
$4,000; No Insurance

The State of Minnesota suffer-
ed a $4,000 fire loss Thursday
evening of last week when Home
croft cottage of the Home School
for Girls group of buildings was
completely destroyed.
Miss Mcmahon, housekeeper at
the cottage, as she went upstairs
from the first floor heard a roar
ing noise in the chimney. She
Immediately called the matron,
Miss Cobb, who went into the
kitchen and glancing toward the
register in the ceiling observ-
ed fire. Miss Cobb ran to the
place where the fire hose was kept
and this room was in flames. She
used the chemical fire extinguisher
without effect.
The girls living in the cottage,
18 in number, had retired for the
night. They were hustled to the
sitting room, some of them only
partially dressed. They were kept
under good control without diff
Guilty, and those fully dressed as
sisted in removing the furniture
and contents, all of which was re-
moved.
Mr.. Amundson, Of the Home
School force, used the hose on the
grounds and attempted to keep the
flames subdued until the arrival of
the fire department from the city.
The alarm was turned in at
1880 p. M, and the first contin-
gent of the department arrived
about Is minutes later. Chief Fish
and his men fought valiantly, but
because Of the tinder-like construc-
ton of the building it burned rap
idly and completely.
Mrs. Stewart, superintendent of
the institution, had quite prob
lem housing the girls. Fortunately
the present population at the
Home School is only 277, and the
former residents of Homecroft
were placed in the other cottages
without great inconvenience, but
filled the institution to capacity.
The first group of cottages
erected by the state at the Home
School were of fire proof construc-
tion. In a spirit of economy the
1913 session of the legislature ap-
propriated SIS, 700 each for two
cottages when 100000 each was
asked for. The State carries it's
own insurance and the loss is
total one.
Conditions since the fire have in
dicated quite clearly that the in
spector in charge of the work fell
down badly on the job as the
chimney was virtual fire trap,
being cracked in several places.
The sister cottage to Homecroft,
located 800 feet or more from the
cottage destroyed, will go up in
flames some day. 1t was fortu-
nate that Thursday evenings fire
was discovered before the inmates
We're sound asleep, else there
might have been serious injuries
and perhaps fatalities.
The state is to be severely crit
icised for the housing of its wards
in a firetrap of the construction of
Homecroft.
The building was erected in the
summer and fall of 1914.
Deputy Fire Marshal Lewellyn,
at the request of the State Boarl
of Control, spent Saturday in Sauk
Centre investigating the cause of
the fire.
All the buildings use soft coal
for heating purposes and no one
associated with the instita-ion can
be criticised in connection with the
fire as it was undoubte lily caused
by an over heated dirty chimney.
