After weeks of rumors of deals
pending for the change in man
agement of the Caughren theatre,
of this city the transfer was final
ly completed Wednesday afternoon
at 2:30.
p. M. Getter who has operated
the Caughren for the past four
years retires and will be succeeded
April 1 by C. G. Mullen who has
purchased the equipment.
The new owner although young
man has had years of successful
experience in the motion picture
theatre management. He disposed
of his theatre at Deer River Jan.
1, and Immediately began negotia-
tions for the purchase of the
Caughren as he had had his eye
on this location for some time.
Radical changes in the equip
ment will be made at once. Chief
of which will be the installation of
a First National Vitaphone. New
projecting machines will be install
ed and Mr.. Mullen is bringing
with him an experienced licensed
operator.
The new owner had expected to
offer the first of his weekly vita

Word received from the distribut-
ors yesterday that delay will be
made in shipment has caused Mr..
Mullen to set the dates for the
first Vitaphone production for
April IA, Is, 16 and II. 'The
Barker" a story of carnival life
featuring Milton Stills, Dorothy
MacKail, Betty Compson and
Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., will be
the first talkie picture. Critics say
"The Barker" is the talking pic
ture deluxe to date. The writer
saw this picture at the State
theatre, Minneapolis, a few weeks
ago. The story is wonderfully di-
rected and superbly acted. That
portion of the story given up to
the human voice is marvelously
clear and natural.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day of next week one of the very
latest releases, "The Air Circus"
featuring Marie Dresser and Da-
vid Rollins, will be the bill.
Mr.. Mullen plans on giving
Sank Centre nothing but first run
pictures. He is convinced that
this city will support entertain
ment of this character.
Vaudeville, of high class only,
will be played when the manager
is satisfied that the organization
have acts of real merit. High
class repertoire organizations will
also be booked from time to time.
Mr.. Mullen is married and the
family will live in the apartment
over the theatre.
For two years after Mr.. Getter
purchased the theatre from Al Du-
Beaeu the house was managed by
Miss Isobel Getter. Two years ago
Mr.. Getter moved to the city and
took over the active management
of the Caughren. The gentleman
has large interests in Wadena, Sta
Piles, and other cities. Wednesday
he stated to the Herald that he
expected to continue to make Sank
Centre his home. He is desir-
able citizen.

BULL BREAKS MANS LEG

Arthur lMetzger, son of John
Metzger of this city, broke his
right leg last Thursday when a
bull at the Al Ellering farm, south
of here, attacked him. The young
man, who is employed at the Eller-
ing farm, went into the stall of the
bull to unite him, but as he was
about to do so the animal became
suddenly .enraged and threw him
against the manger. Fortunately,
the bull was still tied and young
Metzger escaped further injuries
It was the first time the animal
had shown any signs of being UNI
ruly. Both bones of the leg were
broken between the knee and ank-
lie. The young man is now at the
home of his father here. -Melrose

crease Appropriation for
1929 Show to $500

AT the meeting of the directors
of the Agricultural Society of
Stearns County held at the Com
munity Club rooms Friday evening
of last week it was voted that each
exhibitor at the 1929 Stearns
County Fair to be held in Sank
Centre July 1, 2, 8 and 4, must
purchase a season ticket costing
81 90. 1t was also decided to
charge small entrance fee in the
poultry department, the exact
amount to be decided upon later.
The Herald was awarded the
contract for printing the 1929
premium list. The officers and
superintendent will thoroughly re-
wise and revamp the list before it
goes to the printer. Three thous-
and copies of the book will be
printed and circulated this year.
A special department devoted to
the All club work will he provided
and prizes for the exhibits of to-
bacco will be revised and enlarged.
Secretary Hillerud reported that
the signed contract of Coe Broth
ers Shows, Jefforsonville, Ind,
had been received. This organiza-
ton is making its first advent into
Minnesota this season. They have
splendid reputation for furnish
ing high class entertainment fea-
lures.
Beyond doubt the Coe Broth
ers shows will be the best carnival
company ever appearing in the
Central West and Secretary Hill
lerud is to be congratulated upon
getting the Coe Brothers on the
dotted line.
The free attractions booked are
decidedly different from the usual
run of free attractions at County
Fairs.
Tuesday of this week President
il. b. iiSchoenhoff appeared before
the Stearns County Commissioners
at their meeting at st. Cloud to
make arrangements for the annual
appropriation for the fair. For
several years it has been the policy
of the commissioners to appro-
pirate 1000 for the county fair.
Because of the added burden of the
All club work which the Associa-
ton is sponsoring this year the As
ISOLATION will be compelled to ex-
pend considerably more money.

Mr.. Olsen was born in Holvik

and spirits and gets about the farm
to do light chores and cuts the
wood for the kitchen range. His
mind is as clear as most men OF
fifty and he boasts that he has new.

tobacco and attributes his great
age and good health to regular
habits and hard work. When ask.
ed if he had ever been sick the
old gentleman replied that one
time when he was 29 years old he
had the toothache.
Sitting in his big arm chair al
the farm home, the old man greet
ed the old neighbors as they flee
in, with a hearty hand shake. His
voice is strong and while he con
verses altogether in the Danish
Language, one who does not under

question his cordial greeting.
Mr.. Olsen was presented with &

the friends. H. P. Hanson gave
him a unique present in the shape

! the service was taken over and operated

extended to the American colonies: but
owing to the great stretches of wilder
ness It was for long time slow and
primitive. Benjamin Franklin was
Postmaster General toward the end Of

pendent American system.
THE postal service was then a halt

coach. in which letters are sorted while
the train speeds them on their way.
In 1845 the primitive plan Of charging
for letters by the number of sheets
they contain was discarded and the
weight system adopted with lower
rate. About the same time came the
envelope to give secrecy to letters.
