20 Years Ago
Excerpts from the Herald of
20 Years Ago

Several can of fish fry from the
Glenwood hatchery passed through
Sank Centre Wednesday enroute
to Park Rapids to be planted.
Following the beautiful weather
of Saturday there was a heavy
rain Sunday night. Later the
weather cleared up and the sun
shone. The temperature during
the past two days has been well
up but is just what is needed for
the growing crops.
The recent storms caused the
telephone and electric light people
considerable trouble, but now they
have their wires in operation again.
The electric light company is
trimming some overgrown branch
es which will improve their service
as well as the appearance of the
trees. EEXN
Next Tuesday evening at 500
o'clock, July Ia, Mrs. Chapman of
Athens, Tenn, will present the
work of the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary Society of the Methodist
Episcopal church. Every woman
interested in Home Missionary
work is cordially invited to hear
Mrs. Chapman.
The Bijou theatre in the Dub ois
block is doing a good business.
Manager Mattson has good show
and the public appreciate it. The
moving pictures are drawing cards
and there is an entire change of
program Mondays and Thursdays.
Miss May Quinlan is heard with
the illustrated songs. 1t will pay
you to see this fine show.
L. w. Gingery drove into town
Wednesday evening with brand
new White steamer. Mr.. Gingery
lost his auto in the fire in his lum-
Der yard a few weeks ago. He
found that life without one of the
horseless vehicles was wild and
weary waste, so hied him to the
city and brought back new one.
This makes eighteen automobiles
now owned and operated by Sank
Centre citizens, and there may be
"more to follow"
The railroad park near the
Great Northern passenger station
is beauty spot and greatly en-
hances the appearance of that part
of the city. The shrubbery is
thriving and the grass now makes
pretty lawn.
The cottages at the new sum-
mer resort on the north side of
Sank Lake are enjoying life great
ly. w. o. p. Hilsdale and family
have been occupying their cottage
there about two weeks, and it is
said that Mr.. Hilsdale likes it bet
ter even than he does his automo-
bile. The Sullivans have their cot
tage completed and have begun to
occupy it, though Mr.. Sullivan
finds it difficult to get out there
every night, his duties combining
him closely to town. A. w. Austin
will be ready to move into this cot
tage inside few days. The Hoop.
er cottage is now occupied by Roy.
R. l.. Palmer is building and some
others contemplate following suit.
Semi graded and rural schools in
Stearns county will receive state
aid this year amounting to $8,525,
a sum greater by SLIPS, than that
received the year before. At pres
ent there are 33 teachers holding
second grade certificates who draw
for their districts the sum of $5C
from the state. Twenty-Five hav'
first grade certificates which draw
$125 each, and there are IL
semigraded schools which are en-
titled to $3.50. There are nov
rs districts in the county whic'
draw the state aid, nine more thar
last year.

l wish to congratulate you on
the splendid issue.
1t has been a great pleasure to
me to read the history of the town
I lived in for a number of years,
and especially to note the great
number of changes and progress
made. 1 had no idea the town
had improved so much.
l was particularly interested in
the various articles on alfalfa, and
am wondering if it is grown with
out irrigation. or if that section
now has an irrigating system.
Alfalfa is one of our leading
crops, but all under irrigation.
l was greatly surprised on turn
ing to page two, section three, to
see my class picture and to learn
of the progress in the schools.

Scrlpps-HoTard StaR Correspondent


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 24.-The
reunion Of normally divergent Re-
publican factions behind Herbert
Hoover in his Ohio primary contest
with Senator Frank B. Willis has
caused comment among politicians
as to the strength which the Sec
rotary Of Commerce might have
should he be the presidential nomi-
nee.
Practical politicians and idealists,
machine and anti-machine workers,
vets and drys-their apparent re-
Spouse to the Hoover appeal may be
clearly demonstrated by April "a,
no matter what the detailed result
Of the primary may be.
Organized political workers, lead
ers in civic affairs, social welfare
people and business, industrial and
financial interests have buried past
differences in uniting behind
Hoover. The politicians apparently
see him as the best and strongest
candidate to head the national
ticket.

The social workers remember him
as the man who fed Belgium and
twenty other nations. The business
and industrial captains like his rec

on his side now.
In Toledo the faction which re-
Gently defeated Walter Brown, AS
sistant Secretary of Commerce, in
bitter city election, is now aligned
with the Hoover movement, which
Brown is heading in Ohio. Mayor
Jackson, the anti-Brown candidate,
is for Hoover.
The chairman and vice chairman
of the Hoover-for- President Club
were on different sides Of the fence
in the municipal fight, but they are
working together now.
Vets and Drys Friendly
Even more significant is the
friendly attitude of vets and drys.
Though Willis will try to ascribe
city leaders support Of Hoover to
their reported wet views, many lead
ing dryS and church people in
downstate districts prefer the Cabi-
net member over such a professional
dry as Willis.
Hoover'S three candidates for

four to be selected will be of the
same type. Though not SO well

While all home owners could not

which might well be incorporated in

tNvN fnrr ha
ment of the house was completed and
the brick walls of the first floor of the
building now rapidly are being laid.
A feature OF this home is the fact
that the entire first floor has been con-
Structed Of reinforced concrete In a
manner similar to the concrete floors
used in the construction Of some apart
ment houses and ofilce buildings. Over
this concrete base the wooden flooring
win be laid. Wooden "Sleepers" have
been iInbedded in the concrete to receive
the nails from the finished oak flooring
One Of the values of this style OF
flooring. the builders explain. Is that
most fires that break out in dwellings
originate in the basement With such a
first-fio base 1t Is believed impossible
for q fire to spread to the upper floors.
Ordinary noises from mechanical ap-
paratus placed in the basement could
not be heard on the first floor and dust
would be less likely to sift through into
the upper portions Of the house. Also. 1t
is believed, the concrete flooring will
provide xturdier base for the upper
structure Of the house and eliminate
shrinkage.
