Mary PickfOrd Outstanding Sue
cess, my Best Girl" Attraction
Special Matinee

At the meeting of the Gopher
Prairie Boys and Girls All Club at
the Community Club rooms Sat-
urday evening they were enthusiast
tic about the presentation of my
Best Girl" by Americas sweet
heart, Mary Pickford, at the Caug-
hren theatre Friday and Saturday
| evenings Of this week with a spec
ial matinee Saturday afternoon at
2:30 for children.
| Sank Centres apportionment for
the All countrywide club work is
$500 and arrangements have been
made with Manager Mullen of the
Caughren for division of the re-
ceipts of the my Best Girl" en-
| gagement.
my Best Girl" is a comedy-ro-
nance with a 5-and-10 cent store
background. But the element of
menace" heretofore considered es-
sential to well-constructed plot,
it is entirely absent. This menace"
is not necessarily human-it may
be a blizzard or a train wreck or
an obstacle of some sort which the
leading characters must overcome.
practically every film production
lembodies this so-called require
ment.
Miss Pickford's new story, how
ever, braves precedent. Basically,
"menaces" are used to provide sus-
pense in photodrama, but my Best
Girl" is said to attain suspense by
an entirely new method-that Of a
logical situation in which the aud
fence cannot decide which courses
the several characters will pursue.
/ And as these characters are all
true-to-life people, the spectators
uncertainty depends on the situa-
ton alone, thus eliminating any
element of fear or coercion, as an
expedient for keying up interest.
| Mary Pickford, herself, imbued
with the pioneering spirit, suggest
ed the theme of the story to Kath-
leen Norris, who wrote the original
novel on which the picture is based.
The admission for this show, be-
cause of the very high price of the
film, has been place at Is cents for
children and so cents for adults.
Arrangements have been made for
a special matinee for children Sat
urday afternoon, May 3 at 2:30. The
admission for children at the matt
nee will be Is cents. Any adults
attending the matinee will pay so
cents, of course.

lie real entertainment and help a
worthy cause.

John West Goes to
Grand Forks Schools
Gentleman is Former Superintend-
emit of Local Schools Leaving
Eight Years Ago

Sank Centre people will be in
terested in learning that John C.
West, who resigned the superin-
tendency of the Sank Centre Pub
lie schools eight years ago, to be-
come superintendent of the Be-
midi schools, last week rendered
his resignation to the board of ed
ucation at Bemidji effective at the
end of the school year. Mr.. West
has been elected superintendent of
the Public Schools at Grand Forks,
N. D.
When John left Sank Centre for
Bemidji he tackled job that many
Of the better school men of the
state rather dreaded because the
financial status of the district was
in poor shape. BY applying high
class business methods in the man
agement of the school, conditions
will be immeasurably better for his
successor than they were when Mr..
West took the reins eight years
ago.
The family still has many
friends in Sank Centre who will be
pleased to know Of the gentleman's
continued advancement in his chos-
en- profession.

Herald DoHed UpM
NezV Dress This Week
Ideal News Body Type Highly In
dOrsed by Optical Experts
Refreshing Change

The Herald comes to it's family
of readers this week all dolled up
with a new body type dress.
The main thought in changing
the type face from Century Tx
banded to Ideal News was be-
cause of its refreshing change tend
ing towards eye comfort and the
conservation of vision in general
This type face was developed by the
Intertype Company and the New
York Times after an exhaustive
and scientific study to develop just
such type face as the Ideal News
Following the New York Times
many of the better dailies have
adopted this face, among them be-
ing the Minneapolis Journal.
With the new dress the Herald
body type is what is known to the
trade as point, but is cast on an
eight point slug.
The former dress was eight point
solid, but we believe the average
reader will agree that the slight
white space between the lines in
the issue this week will be an
agreeable change for the readers
because of increased legibility.
Some of the best known optic.
ians in America have tested the
Ideal News from a professional
standpoint and have given it their
unqualified Endorsement. One OF
them said:
1T is excellent, not only in size
but in spacing, in clearness of i'm.
preston, and easy legibility. The
result is optionally correct"
The idea always in the mind OF
the Herald publishers is to give its
patrons the best possible service
all the time.

Ben Morgan toLeave
Sank Centre June I
Will Enter Employ of S. s. Kresge
COmpany-Has Been Valuable
Citizen

w. B. Morgan, who has been
identified with the Sank Centre
Public Schools for nine years, this
Thursday morning rendered his
resignation to Supt. H. A. Falk, eff
fective at the close of the school
year.
During the entire period of his
connection with the local schools
Ben has been teacher of Industrial
Education. For the past two years
he has been state chairman of the
Manual Training section of the
Minnesota Education Association.
For the first FIVE years after COM
ing to Sank Centre the gentleman
had charge of athletics.
This young man has left a de-
cided impression upon the younger
generation of this community. He
organized the Boy Scouts in this
city shortly after he came to town.
At the present time he is district
commissioner of the St. Cloud area
having nine towns and eleven
troops under his jurisdiction. The
Herald editor feels that he is pref
ty well acquainted with this young
man and knows something of his
ideals and aspirations. Personal
ly we will be mighty sorry to see
him leave Sank Centre.
Ben's position in the educational
field is pretty well established. He
has felt for some time that he did
not care to make it his life work.
This is the third time in the past
three years the S. S. Kresge Com
pany have endeavored to employ
him. They have informed him
that the job will be a decided mo-
notary sacrifice for two or three
years. He will start the stock
room and work his way up to a
managerial position. Several eve
nings each week he will attend
school studying merchandising and
business. The manager of the
Kresge company has informed
Ben that if he has not fitted him
self for a managerial position with
in the year training period they
will be compelled to let him go. He
will be located either in Chicago OF
Cincinnati.
Ben has an abundance of Irish
tenacity and the Herald is con.
WINGED he will make good.
During the years he has resided
in Sank Centre Mr.. Morgan has
given literally of his, time, money
and ability fusAeering every worthy
public enterprise He will be great
ly missed, but the entire commun
ity will wish him success in his new
venture.
