Commercial Clubs Favor Issuance of Publicity Mat
 ter on All of Northland

Prospects are bright for the is- suance of an industrial pamphlet embracing all of Alaska more thor oughly than any yet published, il was revealed today by M. s. Whit tier, executive secretary of the Al aska Territorial Chamber of Con- merce.
 Following a suggestion made by local members of the Board oi Managers, MT. Whittier recently wrote to member Cham b ers throughout the Territory asking them if they were favorably in- clined to issue, from each district pamphlet which would be con- bined into one large pamphlet.
 Since that time many favorable replies have been received, MT Whittier declared He expressed his belief that such a pamphlet could, with considerable work, con- tain much excellent information as i to opportunities in Alaska At the present, he added, there is nc publicity matter available embrac- ing such a complete survey.
 The purposes of such publica- tion, according to Juneau business men on the Board of Managers are to encourage the production oi products now imported into the Territory, and to increase the per manent population of Alaska
 In the event the pamphlets art printed they would be used a! a publicity medium and handled by the various chambers.
 1 Costs of gathering material ant iprinting, according to MT. Whittier would probably be covered by al appropriation of the last legisla ture which assigned $2,500 to bi dispersed by the Governor through out the Territorial Chamber O Commences for advertising pur poses.
 MT. Whittier also mentioned tha the Alaska Territorial Chamber o Commerce was lending it's best ef forts in boosting the proposed In ternational Highway.

 The Coolidge & Hennessy suite is on the second floor of the Ma sonic building, and is reached by an elevator or a wide marble stair way. It is recalled that, when Mi Coolidge was a young lawyer here, he occasionally would run the elevator himself, if in a hurry Now, however, he rings for the lift, or he uses the stairs when the elevator man is not on duty ! Scores of visitors have climbed the same steps since MT Coolidge came back to Northampton. Some times they are old acquaintances here in town. Again they are for mer associates from Washington, like Ambassador Moore. or travel CTS such as a delegation of young students from Scandinavia which called recently.
 i The Coolidge's attended an "old home day. gathering at South ampton early last month, dining on , the village green, and later were guests at the 150th anniversary celebration of Cummington an- other Hampshire county town when the homestead of William Cullen Bryant, poet, was dedicated. They also saw parade of legionnaires last month in Westfield.
 After supper, Mr. Coolidge often sits on his small front porch, en- toying cigar. Hundreds of tour ists have seen him there, in an old fashioned, wicker rocking -chair.
 Later in the evening he goes to the sitting room and reads He usually retires by 10 o'clock.
 Mrs. Coolidge has stepped easily from first lady to mistress of their modest home In the morning she supervises housework, most of which is done by Mrs Reclaim, then does her marketing. Her most intimate friend, Mrs R. B. Hills, who lives few doors away, often accompanies her on these shopping \ trips.
 In the afternoon, Mrs. Coolidge spends several hours at the bedside of her mother, now in her 81st year who has been at Dickinson hospital since December, 1927
 l Before supper, or in the early evening, Mrs. Coolidge usually takes her Chow dog, Tiny Tim" |, for an airing.
 \ If MT. Coolidge has any idea of leaving Northampton, he has not made it known. He said recently he had no particular plans for the | future. Asked whether he had "enjoyed the benefits he sought in returning to private life" MT. Coolidge said he did not go into private life for the purpose of enjoyment"
 However, while he is keeping
 busy at his office. MT. Coolidge in-
 dicates that he regards this period as his first real vacation in almost 20 years. When he left the White House he had been holding public
 office continually since he was chosen mayor of Northampton in

Junior Progressive Farmers
Club to Reorganize
Bylaws Will Be Changed to Wi
den Membership-Booth at
County Fair

About a year ago a Junior Pro-
gressive Farmers Club was organ
lied among the young people con-
nected with families belonging to
the Farmers Progressive Club.
The bylaws prescribed that
membership was contingent upon
the parents retaining their MEM
bership in. the parent organization
Several members have withdrawn
and the young people have been
automatically dropped from the
Junior organization. The result
has been that the younger club has
been sleeping for some time.
Saturday evening meeting was
held to decide what was to be done
in the future. The treasurer's re-
port showed there was a balance of
$48.00 on hand.
The early part of April another
meeting will he held at the home
of the president, VIM. Determan,
for the purpose of reorganization.
The bylaws will be changed to
permit all the young people re-
siding on farms in the Sank Centre
territory to become eligible for
membership. Several of the MEM
bers became affiliated with the Co
pher Prairie Boys and Girls All
Club Saturday.
At the April meeting arrange
ments for a booth at the Stearns
county fair, July 1, 1884, will be
started.

Boy Scout Areas We're
Consolidated Jan. 1st
Eleven Counties in the Central
Minnesota Area-St. Cloud is
Headquarters

G. w. Armstrong, Scout execu-
tive for the Central Minnesota area,
spent a few hours in Sank Centre
Monday. The gentleman called at
the Herald office. In the course of
his conversation with the editor
Mr.. Armstrong stated that Jan. 1,
the ST. Cloud and Brainerd areas
were consolidated into the Central
Minnesota area. The following II
counties are in the district
Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Mile
Laos, Morrison, Todd, Grow Wing,
Aiken, south half of both Cass and
Hubbard.
There are 81 troops in the area
with a membership of approximate
ly LOO.
Mr.. Armstrong stated that
wherever possible Scout activities
were being carried to the country
to give the boy on the farm the
advantage of the training. Lack
of funds curtails this extension.
Following the consolidation of
the St. Cloud and Brainerd areas
the headquarters have been located
in the latter city.
According to Mr.. Armstrong the
area budget for 1929 is approx
mately $500. If every town in
the area having Scout troups paid
its quota about $4,000 would be
received.
The Scout Executive said the
summer camp at Avon was increas-
ing in popularity each year. Boys
are cared for at the camp for $500
each per week. Last year the food
cost per boy was $6.32 weekly.
Mr.. Armstrong is planning Sank
Centre an administrative center for
the Area. The latter part of April
a Regional roundup will be held in
this city. This will attract about
200 Boy Scouts from neighboring
towns.

Outside Cities and Villages
Some Compilations

The delinquent tax list of
Stearns county recently published
discloses some very interesting
facts if one will take the trouble
to study them.
Becoming a trifle curious the
Herald editor set about Saturday
to find out the total amount of
the taxes on real estate delinquent
in Old Stearns.
While Stearns county is large,
it is a prosperous section of the
state, and when we found that the
total delinquent taxes of the
county were approximately $780,
900 bit more investigating was
done. Thirty-one thousand dollars
of the taxes are delinquent in the
cities and villages.
In the city of St. Cloud taxes
were unpaid on 324 pieces of real
estate, totaling $22,774.56; Waite
Park has a total of 127 parcels of
land upon which the taxes are un-
paid, amounting to $1,563.31, or
a total for the Granite City and its
suburb of $24,337.87, almost fifty
per cent of the delinquent tax of
the entire county,
In the city of Sank Centre there
are $1,787.84 in taxes unpaid on
81 pieces of real estate.
The village of Holdingford
makes the poorest showing of any
village in the county, there being
$1,753.20 in unpaid taxes on Is
pieces of land.
The city of Melrose has S950.15
unpaid on So pieces. The following
are the amounts unpaid by town
ships, cities and villages.

Tobacco Growers Will
Profit by Experience
Paid Well Over 500 Per Acre for
Crop Raised in 1928-Acre-
age Increase

The tobacco growers in the Sank
Centre territory shipped a full car
of 28,540 pounds of leaf tobacco
from this city Thursday of last
week, to GAINESVILLE, Wis, the pur-
chasers being the Scott, Dillon
Company.
The price received averaged will
be over 500 per acre. While this
was below the average the crop was
badly damaged by hail and wind
before it was harvested. The pro-
ducers received 10 cents per pound.
Had the crop been in perfect con-
dition the growers would have re-
ceived the maximum price of 25
cents per pound.
The growing of tobacco is new
industry for the farmers of West
ern Stearns. The experience gain
ed last year will be of great value
to them in their future activities.
Ben Otte says that the cultivation
of tobacco requires slightly more
work than field of corn.
"A number of farmers watched
the results achieved by the pio-
neers last year and it is under
stood that at least three cars will
be grown in the territory immed-
lately adjacent to Sank Centre this
season.

the Herald editor a few days ago

Extensive Business
improvements Made
Waldorf Cafe, Calkins Hardware
and Golden Rule Store Take on
New Appearance

Remodel and Repaint" is the
slogan of several business places of
this city at the present time, and
as result Main Street has taken
on added city airs.
Alan Meigs and Arthur Weis-
ner, proprietors of the Waldorf
cafe, have Gifted their place of
business, by installing new fix
lures. The interior has been en-
tirely redecorated. Nine new
booths have been installed, which
with the counter and seven new
tables to be added soon, will give
feeding Accommodations for 62 peo-
pie at one time. The fixtures are
modern and of the newest design
and are in harmony with the deco
rations. New floor covering has
been laid and in its entirety the
place has taken on very pleasing
appearance. The proprietors are
to be congratulated upon their pro-
gressiveness for they have, without
doubt, as neat a restaurant as
may be found in any city the size
of Sank Centre. -,
The Calkins Hardware store is
being reprinted and renovated. A
new steel ceiling has been laid. Mr..
Thomas says the work planned at
present will be completed some
time this week. He however, has
plans for other extensive improve
ments during the coming year,
which when completed will give
him one of the finest arranged
hardware stores in the northwest.
Ths Golden Rule Store, under
the management of Don Barron, is
being re,nodeled so that larger
area of floor space may be obtain
ed. The balcony at the rear has
been sealed up and stairways have
been moved to obtain these re-
suits. The interior will also be
redecorated, and when all work is
completed this business place will
also take on a modern appearance.
The Red Owl Store has added a
new fruit rack to it's already well
appointed store. 1t is located at
the front of the building and gives
the manager an excellent oppor-
tunity for the special display of
fruits.

Style Revue Thursday
A Sparkling Success
Bishop Co. Boston Toggery Amaze
Over 1000 People with Wear
ing Apparel Showing

Much publicity is given to wear
ing apparel with which Lady Fair
adorns herself.
Thursday evening of last week
the Bishop Cohesion Toggery put
on a Style Revue at the Caughren
theatre which astounded the more
than 1000 people attending.
Nearly 100 gowns taken out of
stock, from house dresses to the
daintiest evening frocks, were on
display by Bishop Co. All were
worn by Sank Centre young ladies
especially suited for the type of
gowns worn. The models were
Dorothy Drum, Mildred Bye, ia
nette Dahlem, Juliana Schoenhoff,
Hazel Mortenson, Gertrude Held
man, Helen G. Brown, Patty
ICaughren, the Little Misses Wanda
Arndt and Jane Dowswell.
The stage was beautifully set, the
models making their entrance from
raised platform. On either side
of the steps We're Fayette Cooper
and Prudence Arndt, charming
pages.
The entertainment lasted full
hour and a half. 1t was staged
and directed by MERGED Bishop.
There never was the slightest de-
lay or friction, the whole being a
distinct credit to the young lady.
Sigurd Holme, of the Boston
Toggery, would not permit the men
to be eliminated. Three young
men, John McDermond, Stewart
Whitehead, and Verne Vogel, caus-
ed the hearts of the maidens to
flutter whenever they appeared
wearing the latest styled Hart,
Schaffner & Marx clothing. While
not as extensive as the Bishop Co.,
showing the Boston Toggery is to
be complimented upon its display.
The AL Vogel orchestra furnish.
ed music during the evening. When
the curtain first rose Miss Verena
Gaspard sang a couple of soprano
solos. When one considers that
this young lady has never had any
musical training her rendition OF
difficult selections is marvellous.
Mrs. Robert Schwalen, Gu
ellie Knickerbocker), gave a de-
lightful reading and the Misses
Harriet Kimball and Eleanor
Warmeth, students at the Univer-
sity of Minnesota, and sorority
sisters of Miss MERGED Bishop,
gave several delightful dancing
and singing specialties.
The Herald predicts no Style Re-
vue ever presented in Central Min,
nesota compared with the beauty
and variety of the Bishop-Bostor
Toggery showing last Thursday
evening.
The Herald editor hasn't suffic,
lent adiectives at his command to
adequately describe it.

IDENTITY OF MAN
MAY BE CLEARED UP
Young Man Killed by Train at
Carol, Iowa, May Have
Been Charles Ridpath
BROTHER LIVES HERE
Description Tallies With That
of the Dead Man Except
Discrepancy in Weight

After a lapse of IA months the
identity of the young man killed by
train at Carol, Iowa, Nov. 49,
1927, may be cleared up.
Herald readers will recall that in
December, 1927, and again in De-
cember 1928, portrait of the
young man killed, taken after his
death, was published in this paper,
together with his description, in an
endeavor to clear up the mystery
as it was thought the deceased re-
sided for a time near Sank Centre
1t will be recalled that at one
time the deceased was identified
from a picture as being the son OF
N. J. Anderson, of Englewood
Col. Mr.. Anderson stated that the
young man was not his son but
could not give the Carol county
coroner any information as to his
sons whereabouts.
The young man had nothing or
his person which would enable au.
thorities to identify. He wore q
ring with a crucifx, and it was
thought he was a member of the
Catholic church.
According TO the information
obtained by the coroner the young
man had been carried into Caro-
by automobiles who picked him
up along the highway. He is sale
to have told his benefactors that he
was enroute to Sank Centre.
He was killed while crossing the
Northwestern railroad track about
two blocks from where he was lei
out of the automobile.
With this meager information
the officials started investigation
The victim was between 10 and q
years old, apparently; five feet 81,
inches tall, and weighed about 49,
pounds. His hair was light brown
with a reddish tint, thin; brown
eyes and thin face. He wore +;

Alexandria Man to Cook
for Commander Byrd
Baker Will Travel 5000 Miles to
Prepare EATS" for Arctic
Explorers.

Alexandria, March II. = Nine
thousand miles seems like jaunt
for cook to take to his work but
when his employer is Commander
Richard E. Byrd and his kitchen is
just little above the South Pole
the trip is nothing at all.
Walter Leuthner, Alexandria ba-
ker, informed the United Press
late today that on Wednesday next
he would pack his ear-muffs and
fur socks in a duffle bag and strike
off for New Zealand and eventually
the South Pole.
Leuthner, who is 35 years old
and a friend of Richard Brophy,
recent manager of the Byrd ex-
petition, was offered the job as
cook for the polar party some time
ago and just today decided to ac-
cept.
The baker will sail from San
Francisco on March 20 for New
Zealand where he will be carried by
boat and plane to the Byrd base Of

SarteD Will TRY Making
Print Paper of Cornstalk
Watab Mill Tests Manufacture :
Success of Experiment May
Lead to Permanently.

Sartell, Mimi, March 13.-Man-
ufacture of newsprint paper from
cornstalks will be undertaken in a
Minnesota paper mill at Sartell, to-
day in an experiment which it is
hoped will lead to the establishment
of permanent industry in the
state Of making this new paper.
While other paper products have
been made in various mills in the
country recently, this will be the
first attempt to manufacture a
typical newsprint stock, containing
about the same characteristics as
newsprint made exclusively from
wood pulp, according to E. F. HUI
bert, representative of the Corn
stalk Products Company, Danville,
ILL.,, sponsors of the new product.
For this experiment a quantity
of cornstalk pulp, made in Danville
has been shipped to Sartell. In the
plant of the Watab Paper Comp
any, at >Sartell, it will be combined
in proportions with small amount
of wood pulp and then converted
into newsprint paper.
owe have worked out process
that appears to be entirely success
full. If the experiment proves as
successful as we believe it will be,
it will open the way to re-estab-
lishment of newsprint factories in
Minnesota.
1t will mean then the establish
ment of factories to convert corn
stalks into pulp and then the use
of paper factories to make that
pulp into paper.
A few years ago considerable
quantity of newsprint paper was
made in Minnesota, but as the for
ests were trimmed out, these fac
tories have moved further and
further north, until now they are
up in Canada. By utilizing corn
stalks for the making of paper it
will be possible to bring back this
industry"
Bond papers and other paper
products are already being turned
out in considerable quantities from
cornstalk bases, but this is one of
the first attempts to make a news
print from this material, Mr.. Hull
bert said. Newspaper print must
have certain characteristics quite
different from other paper, it was
pointed out. It must be strong, to
run through high speed presses
without tearing, and it must have
a certain absorbent quality, so that
the printers ink will dry rapidly.
