From the above law, it is easy to see
that you can violate the Police RegOla-

Artificial Refrigeration
Increasing in Popularity
Demand for Frigidaires Grows
Month by Month; Many Local
Users

Refrigeration equal to that fur
nished in the melting of 10000
tons of ice a day, is provided by
the more than three quarters of a
million Frigidaires now in use, &C
cording to a computation of M.
Werning, local dealer. Basing the
figures on "a hour day, it is es-
timated that the yearly equivalent
of Frigidaire refrigeration would
make a block of ice nearly one
fifth of a mile square and 1140
feet high, more than twice the
heighth of the Washington monu-
ment.
The month of October, which
saw the 750,000th unit go into
service, was a memorable one in
many ways, Mr.. Wernig said, in
that month Frigidaire Corpora
tons customer sales increased 70
per cent over the same month last
year.
During the month the corpora
ton received its largest single or
der; one calling for the installa-
ton of individual electrical refrig-
Grafton units in each of the 628
kitchens of the Marshall Fields
Garden Apartment Homes, Chica-
go. While Tudor City in New
York, the worlds largest apartment
house project, has ordered Frig-
idaire equipment for 1855 Htch-
ems, these were contracted for in
a number of orders.

Snabpy Basket Ball
Game Friday, Evening
Sank Centre and Bertha High
School Teams Will Meet on
High Auditorium Floor

Friday evening of this week the
Sank Centre High School basket
ball team will have an opportunity
to test their metal when they meet
the fast Bertha team on the local
floor. The visitors will bring a
we'll coached veteran team who
should go far in the coming sea-
sons district play. A couple of
weeks ago Bertha defeated Long
Prairie by a jug-handled score.
Coach Norman Nicholson has
been putting the Sank Centre lads
through a comprehensive practice
schedule for several weeks and
they are rapidly rounding in con-
dition for the seasons play.
The local season was opened
Wednesday evening of last week
when Willard was the victim by a
tone-sided score. In Pierce Hogan,
Willard has a player who has out
standing possibilities. 1t is pity
he isn't a member of a team that
has the coaching facilities, and
numbers. With a team like Sank
Centre he would be an outstand-
ing star.
Friday evenings game will be
called at 500 o'clock. The adj
mission will be 35 and 20 cents.
Turn out and give the boys a roy
al send-off for the first big game
of the season..

A CORRECTION

The Sank Centre Herald, in its
issue of Nov. 20, stated in the ac-
count of the road meeting at st.
Cloud on November 26th as fol-
lows: Representative Moser, of
this district, attended the meeting,
and the Herald is gratified to re-
port that the gentleman went on
record as favoring both the in
creased gas tax and the $20,000,-
900 bond ISSUE" Although I APP
preciate Editor Whllace's good in
tentions, the truth is that l did
not attend the meeting at st.
Cloud, neither have / gone on rec
ord as favoring Mr.. Babcock's pro-
posal of 4-cent gas tax and $780,
600, 900 bond issue. l will give
these matters fair consideration
and endeavor to learn directly
from my constituents their opin-
ion on this proposed highway leg
islation. ! shall be pleased to
hear from the readers Of the Her
aid regarding their attitude on the
bond issue and the Accent gas tax.

Christmas Decoration
Plans Are Completed
City Will Be in Gala Holiday At
tire-Dinner for Needy
Families $50

Sank Centre will take on Holt
day garb within the next few days.
AS announced in the Herald last
week the Black Cats organization,
with a committee directed by Ben
Morgan as chairman, has mapped
out a comprehensive program for
decorating the city with a myriad
of lights and Christmas colors.
They will also feed the needy fam
lilies on Christmas day.
The City Council, the Water,
Light and Power Commission and
the business men are cooperating
with the Black Cats in this splen-
did movement, and Sank Centre
will be most gaily and thorough
ly representative of the Christmas
season when the work is complet-
ed.
The actual work of decorating
will start Friday evening; the large
tree will be erected in the boule-
ward in the center of the street at
corner of Fifth and Main, and
smaller trees will be erected in
the boulevard to the south.
Garlands of evergreens and
many colored lights will be hung
up at street intersections and trees
will be fastened in front of the
white way posts. More than 200
trees, large and small, will be
used.
1t takes money to carry out this
program. The Black Cats have
arranged for a Charity Ball to be
given at the Sank Centre Armory
Friday evening of this week. The
net proceeds will be used to par
TALLY defray the expenses. You
have a splendid opportunity to
purchase a ticket. If you don't trip
the light fantastic your dollar will
help spread Christmas cheer.
More power to the Black Cats in
the splendid civic work they are
doing.

Two Boys Drowned in Lake
at Glenwood Last Week
Ice Breaks Under Nick Koplos and
Marvin Bennett While They
Were Skating

Marvin Bennett and Nick Kop-
olos were drowned last Tuesday
afternoon in the lake. They were
skating, went out too far reached a
spot of thin ice without knowing
it and were not reached in time to
be removed from the water, al
though supreme efforts were made
to save them. Clarence Swanson
and Harold Brundin both went in
to the ice cold water in an effort
to get the boys out but were not
able to locate them. These two
boys both endangered their own
lives and required assistance to get
out.
Boys skating along the lake shore
were the first to learn that the
boys had fallen in. They heard
cries for help and Clarence Swan
son, Harold Brundin and others at
once started out although they did
not know exactly where the cries
came from. They found skate
tracks and followed them until
they came to a hole in the ice
where cap was floating. Clarence
dove into the ice cold water and
SWAN around but could find moth
ing. Harold also went in. The two
boys became cold and numb and
found difficulty in getting out
again on account of the thinness
of the ice.
A crew of linemen working
along the lake shore came out with
poles and ropes but could not gel
close enough to be of any assis-
lance on account of the thin ice
Some Of the younger boys, among
them Telford Doe and Charley
Bucholz were able to get close
enough with the poles and the

FINAL CHAPTER OF
COOLIDGE REGIME
Seventeen Session of Con-
gress Was Opened Monday
With Brief Ceremonies
LAND DUCKS NUMEROUS
Much Legislation Will Be Con-
sidered in Short Period
Boulder Dam a Thorn

Washington, Dec. 3--Slightly
battle SCARED by the election, the
SEVENTEEN congress reassembled
today to write the final chapter of
the Coolidge administration.
Opening ceremonies in both the
senate and house were brief rou-
tine, serving only to dispose of
formalaties of such occasions and
to bring together the warriors OF
the recent campaign.
At the stroke of noon Vice Pres
ident Dawes in the senate, and
Speaker Longworth in the house,
quoted the reunions of old friends
on the floors with the raps for or
der and the concluding session of
this congress, which must end on
March 4, had started. Within an
hour the houses had adjourned for
the day.
Tomorrow President Coolidge
will forward his last annual mes
sage to congress, detailing his leg
islative wishes. But even before
work is undertaken on the unfin-
ished business of his administra-
ton, the Republican majorities
were looking ahead today to the
problems of the approaching re-
gime of Herbert Hoover, and the
promises of farm relief and tariff
revision born in his campaign.
Hardly had the house finished
it's hours meeting before the Re-
publican members of the ways and
means committee conferred on
the question of tariff revision and
set January 7 as the date to start
hearings.
At the senate end of the capital
leaders were scratching their
heads about the farm relief prob
lem, wondering whether to at
tempt to get it started now under
President Coolidge or await the ex-
ira session promised by Mr.. Hoov-
err after he takes office in March,
with reinforced Republican con-
gress. Meanwhile farm bill de-
clared acceptable to Mr.. Coolidge
was ready for introduction to-
morrow by Chairman McNary OF
the senate agricultural committee
The senate will get down to
work Wednesday on the Swing
Johnson bill to construct an irri-
gation-food control-power dam on
the Colorado rivera job that
gives promise of requiring weeks
to complete. The house will open
fire before the end of the week
on the first of the bills appropri-
ating the billions necessary to run
the government the approaching
fiscal year.
The week will see the Kellogg
BRAND treaty started on its course
through the senate. Ratification
by this body is necessary to bind
the United States to the pacts
signed by most Of the nations of
the world, pledging them to re-
nounce war as an instrument of
national policy. Chairman Borah,
Of the senate foreign relations
committee, called committee
meeting for Wednesdayto consider
the treaty which is expected to
be received tomorrow from the
president.

Purchase Christmas Seals
to Stamp OFT tuberculosis
Stearns. County Had Twenty-Sev-
en- Cases in 1927-White
Plague Still Menace

Twenty-seven people died in
Stearns county from tuberculosis
during 1927. This information is
contained in a report received by
Christmas Seal workers from the
Minnesota Public Health Associa-
ton. It is estimated that there are
243 active cases, the report states.
Warning that the White Plague
is still grave menace despite the
reduction of the death rate one
half in 20 years was given local
Christmas Seal workers by the
Minnesota Public Health Associa-
ton.
every six hours one Minnesota
citizen dies of tuberculosis" says
this statement. According to
averages determined as a result of
tuberculosis studies, there are
nine active cases in any commun-
ity for each person who dies of
this disease. At this rate, Mime
sofa now has more than Ia, 900 ac-
tive cases. Many Of these are
not even suspected as yet by the
persons themselves, VINO are each
day lessening their chances for
recovery and spreading their di-
seas to members of their families.
More case-fnding studies and
clinics to seek out these unknown
cases are urgently needed.
mo home is safe from tubercu-
losis until all homes are safe. Dur
ing recent years this disease is
concentrating particularly on the
youth of our iand-boys and girls
between 15 and 20. Save the
teen age from tuberculosis is an
appeal which no one can refuse. "
Christmas Seals, now on sale,
furnish the ammunition to carry on
this work. The greatest hope lies
in prevention through education,
and this is the work of the penny
stamp.

co. FAIR OFFICERS
WERE REELECTED
July /, 2, 3 and 4 Have Been
Selected as Dates for 1929
Exposition
TO HAVE BIG i lUGRAM
Outside Stock Raisers Get
Most Money Secretary's
Report Shows

The Stearns County Fair will be
continued.
At quite a largely attended
meeting held at the Sank Centre
Community Club rooms Friday
evening of last week, any thought
of allowing the fair to pass out
of existence was abolished.
The sentiment of the meeting
was enthusiastically unanimous for
the retention of the present Of
ficers. All objections of the in
cumbent were overruled and they
were reelected unanimously. They
are:
President B. Schoenhoff.
Vice President Ben Otte.
Secretary-G. Hillerud.
Treasurer-C. E. Bohall.
President Schoenhoff will ap-
point his own directors and de-
partment superintendents.,
The question of dates for hold
ing the 1929 fair was thoroughly
discussed. A number of the bust
ness men felt that the best inter-
ests of the city would be served
if the fair would close on some
other day than July 4. President
Schoenhoff is very desirious Of
cleaning up the remaining $4,000
Indebtedness the coming year and
is convinced with good weather
and closing July a this can be ac-
complished.
The fair association cannot ex-
pect that all the other communi-
ties in the territory will pass up
4th of July celebrations to take
part in the Stearns county, fair.
Mr.. Schoenhoff and his officers ex-
pect to plan a three-day program
which will attract visitors from
other towns on days prior to the
4th. The goodwill of all the
towns in this section must be
maintained. ..
The fair dates selected are July
1, 2, 3, and A. July 1 will be en-
try day. In 1928 dates were July
1, 2 and 3.
Harness races at the Stearns
County fair are a thing of the
past. The races last year were so
clearly "set-ups' that the officers
became disguised and will not fool
with harness races any more.
There will be series of rum
ming races for moderate purses. In
the past two years it has been inn
possible to properly classify the
entrants. An attempt will be
made to do so the coming year to
the end that the green horse di-
rect from the farm may race with
animals of his own kind ridden by
farmer boys.
A comparison of Secretary Hill
lerud's reports disclose that stock
raisers living out of the immediate
Sank Centre territory take more
interest in the county fair than
do the farmers of this section. AS
a matter of fact a very large pro-
portion of the livestock and poul-
try prizes went to the vicinity of
Paynesville. These stockmen and
poultry raisers appreciate the value
Of the fair. as a place to advertise
their product.
A motion was unanimously
passed for the county fair associa-
ton to sponsor the development of
All Boys and Girls Clubs. A
story elsewhere In this issue tells
of the initiative steps to organize a
Boys and Girls Club in this COM
munity.
