The local High School cagers
came into their own with a ven

they played inspired basketball to
decisively defeat the rangy Glen
wood team, previously undefeated
in seven starts this season, 80 to
%, for win that was one of the
biggest dope upsets in district bas-

wood, district champions last year,
were saved from a worse defeat
only by making good an unusually
high percentage of free throws,
namely 13 out of II.
The promise of a budding rever-
sal of form, evident in the Mel

brought to ripe fulfillment Tues

who literally routed their stalwart
opponents with Darrage of 10

Fishing License
Now Available
For Hunting License
Must Be Made at Merchants
National Bank.

Chas. Harrison, local game
warden, informed the Herald
Wednesday morning that fish
ing and hunting licenses are
now available, and followers
of the aforementioned sports
must obtain them immedi-
ately if they wish to enjoy
themselves without running
amuck of the law.
Fishing licenses, as well as
hunting licenses, expire at
the first of the year now.
However, owing to the fact
that they were not available
at that time, sportsmen were
allowed to hunt and fish with
out molestaticn. All residents
FL years and over must pur-
chase fish license which may
be obtained at any of the To-
cal hardware stores.
Applications for hunting Ii
censes must be filled out at
the Merchants Natl. Bank. All
persons over Is years old are
required to possess one before
going afield with a gun. 1t is
also absolutely necessary that
those who have not sent in
their 1927 hunting reports do
so at once, as a provision in
the law requires that no IL
cense be issued until the APP
plicant has complied with this
ruling.

PLANS FOR 1928
FAIR PROGRESSING
Stearns County Association
Will Back Boys and
Girls Club
FAIR DATES JULY 2, 3, a
Delegates to State Meeting
at St. Paul Make Inter-
esting Reports

At the meeting of the Agricul-
tural Society of Stearns county
held at the Community Club rooms
Friday evening, the organization
went on record in favor of Civ
ing Boys and Girls Club work
every possible cooperation.
President j. B. Sczoenhoff, who
was one of the representatives of
the Stearns County Fair at the an
nual meeting of the State Agri-
cultural Society and Federated
Fairs of Minnesota at St. Paul
last week, gave a very interesting
report of the Federated meetings,
reciting the campaign necessary to
elect one of Sank Centres wide
awake fair boosters and purebred
breeder, Ben Otte, as the Sixth
Congressional district member of
the Board of directors, supplant-
ing w. J. Hines of st. Cloud.
He called attention to one of
the important resolutions passed by
the Federated fairs, that of COM
pelling concessionaires to pay in
full before they opened up for bus
mess. This has been serious
problem for the superintendent of
concessions for years, but with all
of the fairs enforcing this rule the
concessionaire will realize his po-
sition when booking.
Ben Otte, the other representa-
tive at the gathering, reported very
interestingly on the meeting of the
State Society. Mr.. Otte was hon.
ored as the Sixth district repre-
sentative on the resolutions COM
mittee. He succeeded in getting a
resolution through which provided
for a fair to pay at least $1,700
per year for premiums for three
successive year, in order to be en-
titled to join the Federated fairs.
Steve Schwarzbauer offered a
motion which was unanimously car
ried, thanking Messrs. Schoenhoff
and Otte for their splendid reports.
The program for the 1923 fair
was not definitely arranged, but
the work has progressed sufficient
ly to predict that this years fair,
July 2, 8, and A, will be the most
attractive ever neid in Stearns
county.
The spelling contest for the
championship of Stearns county
will very likely start at 1000 a.
M, Tuesday, July 8.
It is expected that the Sixth
district convention of the Ameri-
can Legion will meet in Sank Cen
tire early in July, closing on the
evening of the Third. Fireworks
have been purchased for the eve
nings of July 8 and A.
The Herald was awarded the
contract for printing the 1928
Fair Premium list. It is planned
to have the books in circulation
not later than May 1. Five hun
dred additional copies Of the list
will be printed this year.

The order was issued on recon-
mendation of J.. F. Gould, state
game and fish commissioner, who
stated that due to the closed sea-
son for the Last four years, musk
rats have increased until they are
more numerous than at any time
during the past 25 years.
Waseca county will remain clos

Large Car Increase Per
Mile on Improved Roads
Machines Would Be a. Yards
Apart if Placed on Good Roads
at One Time

There were 40 motor vehicles
registered in the United States in
1927 to every mile of improved
highway of all types. In 1926
there were "a and in 1918 there
were IT motor vehicles to every
mile of improved highway, &C
cording to figures given out by the
American Automobile association
1t is figured that if all the vehicles
were on the improved roads at one
time, they would be Al yards
apart, as compared to 81 yards ir
1926 and 103 yards IN 1918. $3.50
Minnesota has more than 25,-
600 miles of roads of all classes,
state and local, surfaced with grav-
ell or higher types of material,
there being only four states having
more miles of surfaced road than
Minnesota. Minnesota's motor We
hicles if placed on the improved
roads at one time would therefore
stand 26 to the mile, which is con-
siderably better than the national
average.
1t is impossible to distribute
traffic evenly, however, and even
though all the vehicles are never
on the road at one time, they are
often much closer than "A yards
apart on some of the trunk high
ways in Minnesota.
To remedy the traffic situation
does not require so much adding
to the highway mileage as improv-
ing existing roads. Paved and
other dustless highways can carry
much more traffic safely than a
gravel road. Five hundred ve-
hicles day is generally consider
ed the limit of an untreated gravel
road, both from the standpoint OF
safety and economy. A paved road
can carry 5000 day safely and
expeiitiously and on holidays many
of the paved routes in Minnesota
carry over 10,0UU cars. As soon
as rs per cent of the trunk high
way system is permanently improv-
ed, other routes carrying through
traffic can be added to the system
relieving the local units of the ex-
pense of keeping UP these routes.

Machine Has Electrical
Ears and Grain -
Telephone Men Given Unusual
Demonstration at Meeting in
Minneapolis Yesterday

Members of the Minnesota Tele-
phone Association attending their
annual convention In Minneapolis
were given a thrill Wednesday
when they heard strange unintellig-
ible sounds coming from phono-
graph, converted 1n.o understand
able English by machine with
electrical ears" and an Electric
al BRAIN"
The machine was demonstrated
by Sergius P. Grace, general COM
mercial engineer for the Bell Tele-
phone Laboratories. He explained
that in connection with expert
ment, designed to make radio con-
versations secret, there have been
developed methods of inverting
and distorting Speech tones so as
to make them unintelligible to the
ordinary radio listener. Mr.. Grace
had with him a number of phono-
graph records of these speech
tones.
When one of these records was
placed on photograph there is
sued from the horn only sounds
which to the audience was unin-
telligible gibberish. The result
was something like an imaginary
mixture of English, French, Chi
nese, Siamese and a few other
languages thrown in for good
measure.
Then Mr.. Grace startled his aud
fence by announcing that he would
demonstrate machine, which
when placed before the phono-
graph, understood these strange
sounds and would transform them
into the original language. The
audience of several hundred Min
nesota telephone men waited in
suspense.
While the unintelligible sounds
We're coming from the monograph,
Mr.. Grace held In front of the
horn an electrical pickup trans
mitter similar to those used in
radio broadcasting studios. The
electric current from this trans
mitter was carried into the "elec-
trical translating brain" of the ma
chine, which was connected to loud
speakers of the Bell Telephone
Public address System. Immed-
lately there came from the loud
speaker horns of the Address sys-
tenn volume of sound several
times louder than that from the
phonograph and with the original
speech in English and clearly un-
derstandable to the audience.
This was the first time the new
machine which understands Ian
guage unintelligible to ordinary
human beings had been demon
strated in the northwest.

Butter Market Unsteady

Egg Demand Strong and Prices
Advance in Face of Heavy
Receipts

Butter markets during the week
just past have been somewhat er-
ratio. Quotations work to. low
err level on most markets. Receipts
of butter on tho four principal
eastern markets from Monday to
Friday last week decreased as
compared with the same period a
week previous, although production
for the country as a whole is hold
ing up well for TINS season of the
year, in fact showing slight in
crease during the last two weeks.
The importation of butter prin-
cipally from New Zealand at this
time is having an important bear

The statistical situation on the

directly upon the rapidity with
which the production of fresh eggs
increases.

Many Are Keeping the
Old Bus for Spare Car
Must Be Licensed Before Feb. IS
Junked, Stolen Cars Must Be
Reported

The introduction of new models
of automobiles, all improved design
and many of them at reduced
prices, has caused a heavy depre-
citation in used car values. Many
people who buy new cars, are
keeping their OLD cars for spare,
or junking them, instead of accept
ing a small allowance on a trade
in.
A highway department bulletin,
however, calls attention to the fact
that application for a license must
be made on or before Feb. Is, I'M
less the car has actually been dis
posed of. The Secretary of State
must have report on every car
which was licensed last year, or the
law compels him to start proceed
ings, through the sheriffs, to collect
the tax or find out what happened
TO the car. ~
When car is sold within the
state, the purchaser must file re-
port of the transfer. When car is
'iismantled, stolen, or sold out of
Vic oIdGC, ulc OWliCI luuSI uldh6 IIlS
report. 1t should give the name
Of the owner, his address at the
time it was registered, the make
and serial number of the car and
the 1927 license number. Special
blanks for this purpose may be OBJ
tanned at all places that have Ii
cense application blanks.
If car is not actually dismant.
led, the tax must be paid, or the
penalty of 25 cents a day will be-
gin to accrue after February Is,
even if the car is not in use. If
you have junked the car but failed
to make a report, you may be able
to clear it up with an affidavit
when the sheriff calls, but it is
much less trouble to file the re-
port with the Secretary of State at
once.
Many persons who buy new cars
find it well worth while to license
the old car and keep it in running
order. On most OH cars the Ii
cense, if paid before Feb. Is, is
only $40, or $12. so if the weigh.
is over 1000 pounds. The old car
may come in hanuy on many occas-
ions, and the small fee will help
to build more good roads for Min
neS0ta.

''Watch Your Vitamins, !"
New Slogan for Health
Lack of Vitamin Results in Stunt
ed Growth-No Excuse Now
adays for Ricketts,

Pay attention TO your vitamins
if you wish to build up your health
and avoid disease, says Nell B.
Nichols, dietician .nd farm
paper writer, who has delved deep
ly into the subject of balanced ra-
tons for humans, "a well as farm
animals. Vitamrns are revolution
izing American meals without in
creasing the grocery bill. Find the
foods that are rich in vitamins,
then prepare your meals and see
that every one IN the family eats
his share, says this expert.
Food stuffs that contain large
amounts of vitamins are called pro-
tective foods because they make
people resistant to disease and pro-
mote growth. Experiments have
proven that many a stupid, languid
and depressed child was suffering
because deprived of a sufficiency
of vitamins in his meals. Lack of
vitamin results in stunted growth,
susceptibility to infection diseases
and eye trouble.
Scientific experiments have dem
onstrated the connection between
diets low in vitaalnn and Infections
of the respiratory, system such as
colds, mastoid and sinus trouble
and pneumonia. An insufficiency
of vitamin results in ricketts, and an
improper development of the bones
and teeth.
The proportion of vitamins in
various fooistuffs is not difficult to
ascertain although many house
wives avoid them as though they
were highly mysterious, yet they
can prevent many maladies. There
is no excuse nowadays for ricketts,,
but health authorities estimate that
from so to 80 per cent of the chill
dren in this country have ricketts,
in more or less severe form. Sour
Wy and infections of the upper res
piratory system can be avoided by
the right kind of meals.
Plenty of butter, and lots of milk
and cream will supply these two
most essential vitamins. Use but
ter in preparation of meals where
ever possible, and spread more of
it on the bread, and drink at least
pint or quart of milk day, is the
advice of dieticians and scientists.
In addition to the health building
qualities of the dairy products,
spinach, lettuce, carrots and greens
of all sorts also are urged for the
health menu.

It will be the only title bout of that class this year That much came out of conference between the Champion and Tex Rickard. To- gether with sharp warning from Rickard that other promoters dickering for Tunney's services haven't a chance, it was also said that an expression from Tunney was given of his willingness to flight any man in the world"
