John Spaeth Of Getty
Has Close Call Monday
Accidentally Shot in Head by Carl
Krebsbach, His Hired Man,
While Hunting Rats

John Spaeth, well known young
farmer of Getty township, met up
with an unusual accident Monday
morning about 900 o'clock while
he and his hired man, Carl Krebs-
bach, were endeavoring to rid the
barn Of rats, using rifles for the
purpose.
An accidental discharge of Mr..
Krebsbach's rifle came mighty near
ending the life of Mr.. Spaeth. The
bullet struck him in the head just
above the left eye.
The injured man was taken to
Minneapolis on the afternoon train
from Brooten and placed in the
Swedish Hospital. Naturally the
family were much concerned over
what they feared might be seri-
Gus condition.
A careful diagnosis of the case
by the hospital physicians and
subsequent developments, indicate
that the injury is not serious and
Mr.. Spaeth's complete recovery is
expected in short time. II

Silage Outdoes Fodder
In Milk Production
Silage Is More Palatable Than Corn
Fodder-Makes Greater Milk
Production

An acre of corn has much
higher feeding value when fed tc
dairy cows as silage than it has
when cured and fed as fodder, &C.
cording to the Blue Valley Cream
cry Institute. The superior value
of silage over fodder is attributed
largely to the smaller waste il
handling, curing, storing and feed
ing of silage and to its greater pal
atability. Because silage is much
more palatable than corn fodder,
more Of it is consumed, thus MAX
ing more nutrients available for
milk production.

Commissioner Laurisch
Waging Safety Campaign
Convinced that Great Majority of
Railway Accidents at Highway
Crossings Are Preventative

Education of the individual to
obedience of the old reminder,
"Stop, Look and Listen" is the
most certain insurance against
continual loss of life, says state
ment prepared by the Minnesota
Railroad and Warehouse Commits
sion and issued by Christian j.
Laurisch of Mankato, commission
err, who is making a special study
of causes for an annual toll of
more than 100 persons killed and
injured at railroad crossings in this
state.
"Teach yourself, and those de-
pendent upon you or responsible
to you, to take a Stop sign at it's
word" Commissioner Laurisch
said. "We all realize that in these
days of fast transportation the
motorist is tempted to think that
he can beat any train across a
given intersection. But 43 of them
in Minnesota have failed to win
the race thus far in 1928. Of
these 43, there were II killed and
26 injured.
Seventeen fataliti IS in. four
months is the rate of a8 a yca.,
while the total killed in .l)27 was
81, in 1926 it was 20 and in 1925
it was "a. 1t is evident that we
must not only press every effort
toward marking crossings, but we
must also teach in schools, in bus
mess, and in everyday life, the SIM
pie fact that the train is too heavy,
and travels too fast, to be ig-
nored."

Blue Valley team, played the last
two innings with the large bone in
his right wrist broken, and did not
realize it. The final score Mon
day evening was IA to Z in favor
Of Blue Valley.

6lST ANNIVERSARY
EDITION DELAYED
Herald of June z Will Pre-
sent Resume of Sank Cen
tire History From 1855
OF HISTORIC VALUE
City, Schools, Churches. Fra
ternal Societies Will Be
Covered

The Anniversary Edition of the
Sank Centre Herald commend
rating completion of the 61st year
of service to this community
scheduled to appear this week,
has because of circumstances over
which the publishers had no con-
troll, been delayed one week. 1t
will positively be issued the week
of June Z.
The Herald publishers are spar
ing no expense to make this edt
ton one of the noteworthy under
takings of the rural weeklies of
this great state.
There is an abundance of inter-
esting historical material to work
with in and about Sank Centre. An
earnest endeavor has been made
TO be accurate in our compilation.
We will make some mistakes
some events will be overlooked, UNI
avoiiably.
The introduction to Sank Cen
tire is from the facile pen of Hon.
Frank M. Eddy. The Herald edit
or has traced the events from the
incorporation of the village in
1876, preparing the complete Of
fetal roster from that date up to
and including the officials for
1928.
The educational section has been
prepared under the supervision of
B. w. Morgan, one of the Herald's
very good friends. A carefully
compiled list of the graduates
from 1881, when the first class
graduated from the High School
up to and including 1928, is per-
haps the outstanding feature of
this section.
The Sank Centre Fire Depart
ment has been a worthwhile or
ganization since its organization.
The departments history has been
carefully traced.
The various fraternal organiZa-
tions are given a prominent place
The churches, of course, will take
a couple of pages; the G. A. R.,
the Woman's Relief Corps, the
American Legion, the Woman's
Auxiliary, the Community Club,
the Country Club, and write-ups
of several of the local institutions
will be cared for. About 100 of
Sank Centres business men have
arranged for short illustrated
stories.
The above are some of the fea-
lures which the Herald publishers
believe will make the edition of
real value from historic stand
point.
The Anniversary section will be
printed on fine book paper, and the
issue will consist of 1000 copies.
The news section of the paper
will be printed on print paper and
only enough will be printed to
cover the regular subscription list.
Advertising rates in the news sec
ton will not be raised over the
regular price.
Because of the extraordinary
heavy expense of the Anniversary
section the price for copies of the
Special edition will be 25c each,
or five copies for $1.00. Each
copy will be wrapped ready for
mailing.
Orders are coming in rapidly for
copies. None can be supplied af-
ter the edition has been exhausted.
The Herald believes it would be
good policy for Sank Centre citi-
zens to place orders for the cop
les they desire early. We are con-
fident that practically every citizen
will want copies to mail friends.

BOOK ATTRACTIONS
FOR COUNTY FAIR
Program Arranged Is Most
Expensive Planned by the
Officials of Association
DAY : EVENING SHOWS
Horse Racing Tuesday and
Wednesday-Fire Works
July 3 and 4

Oh Boy! Stearns County's 1928
fair to be held at Sank Centre
July 2, and 4, day and evening,
will be a humdinger.
President J. B. Schoenhoff, Sec
rotary C. Hillerud and the Board
of Directors have been working
for months lining up a program of
entertainment to meet the approx
al Of those attending.
An attempt has been made this
year to get away from the hack
ened vaudeville attractions which
are purchased from gaudy printed
matter and turn out to be buds
when the people at the fair see
their first offering.
The two headline attractions
were purchased by President
Schoenhoff and Vice President Ben
Otte while they were attending
the annual meeting of Federated
fairs in January.
The Marriott troupe and the
Langens are believed to have some
thing in the entertainment line
vastly different than anything
ever witnessed on the grounds of
county fairs in Central Minnesota.
These attractions will work July 8
and 4 afternoons and evenings.
A recent booking is that of a
very clever trick horse owned at
Alexandria. He will show after
noon and evenings both days
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Supt Boerger will hold his
spelling contest for tine champion
ship of Stearns county Tuesday,
starting at 400 a. m. This con-
test will be over and out of the
way at 100 p. M, giving the
participants and their parents and
friends an opportunity to en-
joy the fair program OF the af-
tefnoon unhampered.
There will he harness horse rae
ing Tuesday and Wednesday for
purses of $500 and added money.
Secretary Hillerud informed the
Herald this Thursday morning
prospects were mighty good for a
large field in all classes. The fol-
lowing is the race program:
Tuesday, July 3
2:24 pace $500
-2:18 trot 5000
Wednesday, July A
2:15 pace $500
2:24 trot $500
There will he thrilling one-half
mile running race for green horses,
ridden by boys under 16, for cash
prizes July 4. Horses having won
in previous years are barred from
this race.
The fair officers are negotiating
with st. Cloud parties for a series
of snappy auto races to be pulled
off, the last afternoon and evening
of the fair after the horse races
are out of the way.
There will be an elaborate dis
play of fireworks each evening.
The program will be changed
nightly. This attraction has cost
the Association a pretty penny
but it will be unusual and beauti-
full.
The quartet from the Minnesota
Agricultural college will sing
Tuesday afternoon and evening.
They appeared in this city recent
ly and gave a high class program.
1t is none to early o begin to
prepare your exhibits for the
1928 fair.

Continuance of Coolidge Policies

WORCESTER, Mass, Oct. 31- Charles Evans Hughes, bringing the campaign for Herbert c. Hoo yer into the New England states, asserted in his speech here last night that the Republican Admin istration would not only assure maintenance of a protective tar if and economical administration, but would protect the coun,ry against invasion of disastrous poli- cies." adding that "Gov. Smith endorses policies, if l understand him right, which would introduce the Government into business on a large scale with vast increase of bureaucrats.
 Judge Hughes then declared he had not heard any answer to the questions he recently put to Gov Smith on farm relief, saying:
 q asked with respect to the McNary- -Haugen bill. Is Smith for imposition of the equalization fee by the Government? Does he know it is a component part of that plan, that the government must buy. sell or appoint agents to buy and sell farm products on behalf of the government so as to make the equalization fee effec- tive?

JUNIORS BEAT SOPHS
 12 TO IA LAST NIGHT

Last nights basketball game of the Juneau High School inter-class series, was probably the closest so far played. The Juniors scored over the Sophomores II to 12. The game was extremely rough at times and was marked by many fouls Hurley playing left forward for the Sophs started the game by scoring a free shot which was fol- lowed by Brandt of the Juniors, throwing a two-pointer. Brandt scored again in the second quarter from near center and then failed time and again to find the basket. Barragar threw four field goals for the Juniors making the highest percentage of shots of the series, so far Nelson and Hurley on the Soph team started hitting heavy in the last half and put the game on a more even basis near the end. Berggron and Barragar played a strong defensive for the Juniors, while Johnson and Nelson showed up strong with defensive work for the Soph team. The lineup of the two teams was:

PERFEcTING THE ART OF LIVING

If there is any quality which is conspicuous
ly American, it's is the ability to increase the
comforts of living
The Importance of our industrial age is-that
creating more prosperity, efficiency and leisure,
puts us on higher plane of life.
This Golden Age Of ours is just beginning.
As yet, comparatively speaking we have but
SKINNED the surface of it's possibilities In
less than half century we have made mag
nificent beginning; there is no forecasting the
end
Our great advantage over European coun-
tries is that youth is such a short way be-
hind us. We have no lnelaStlc attitudes OF
mind, no institutions made unprogressive and
unchanging by centuries. Our ways are OF die
tated by ancestors dead for uncOunted genera
TONS
We faced the gigantic duty of developing
America, with ability and ingenuity represent
ing the best the ancient world had to offer.
And with these, we had youthful peoples
qualities of open-mindedness, adventurousness,
and an ambition to set up new lstltutlons and
trends of thought, better than any that had
been before, that we might have happier,
fuller life.
We have aged since then, and maturity has
irone out many of the rough spots. To a great
extent we have succeeded in accomplishing our
early aims. We have the best paid, happleSt
working class in the world We enjoy advan-
cages unknown elsewhere Our form OF govern
ment and our institutions the admiration,
and often the model, of nations centuries our
elders in years.
Such is our contribution so far to civilization.
The arts of living are more generally under
stood we have shown the need for many lux
ures as we'll as the bare necessities. Not only
our own people, but most of the world has been
Influenced by this development.
We have done great things. We will do far
greater things on multitude OF still dim TO-
