A LAKE OF GASOLINE

During 1928 the citizens of the United States burned
upwards OF l40o0ooo0o gallons Of gasoline speaker
at the recent meeting Of the Society Of Automotye
Engineers. in New York. pointed out that this would
make lake five miles in diameter and nearly four
feet deep.
Putting it in terms like that helps realize the
tremendous importance that oil has in modern Ameri
can society 1t also emphasizes the difficulties that
would lie in the Of adopting gasoline substitutes
Benzol for instance, be made from COAL yet If all
the soft coal mined in the country last year
into benzo it would only make lake tenth big as
this one.
We have gasoline civilization obviously; and one of
greatest problems is to insure steady, cheap sup
ply of the all-important fluid.

Musical Program Sunday
Enjoyed by Fine Audience
Artists of Unusual Ability Prepare
Entertainment at the Congre-
gational Church

In spite of a Palm Sunday snow
storm large congregation was
present to hear the choir of the
Congregational church render the
Palm Sunday message in song.
The service was preceded by a
procession of fifty children from
the Primary Department waving
palms as they marched around the
the church. Fourteen musical
numbers told the story of the Life
Of Jesus Christ up to Palm Sun
day. Commencing with the an
cient prophecy of the coming of a
Messiah, down to His coming at
Christmas time, and the outstand-
ing ministries of His life, the story
reached its climax in the triumph
al entry into Jerusalem and the
singing of "The Palms," The
choir consisted Of eighteen voices
and was well balanced. The solo
parts were well rendered and the
whole service was inspiring. The
musical parts were connected by
brief messages by the pastor. At
the close palms were distributed to
all present and the final number by
the choir "Ride on Ride on in Ma
jesty" brought to a conclusion an
exceptionally fine service. The
choir is under the direction of
Mrs. Russell Cooper, who is also
the organist, and the service was
planned by her. 1t was original in
its make up and will probably be
published for other choirs to use.

TOO MUCH TERRITORY

Some weeks ago Ben Morgan
organized a class of the local bus
mess men into an athletic club. At
least once each week the men
have been working hard at Volley
ball and other athletics. They
talked matters over and decided
they were good, in fact clever at
Volley. A challenge was slipped
to the youngsters attending High
School interested in athletics. The
business men named the weapon
Volley Ball. The contest was set
for last evening at the Junior High
Auditorium. The Herald has been
reliably informed that the kids
played rings around the grown
ups most of the way. At the close
the men were completely tagged
while the youngsters were just
getting warmed up to their work.
The final score was three games to
one in favor of the kids. The bust
ness men are not the only fellows
who have taken in too much terri
tory.

Home Bakery Will Be
Moved to Fergus Falls
e. A. Gallea Will Install Up to-
Date Bakeryshop in Ottertail
County City

E. A. Gallea, who has conduct
ed the Home Bakery in this city
during the past two and one-half
years, announced Tuesday, that he
will move his establishment to
Fergus Falls Monday of next week.
Mr.. Gallea has secured a good
location in that city and has every
reason to believe that an excellent
field for a bakery shop will be
found there. He made a trip to
the Cities Tuesday where he pur-
chased new machinery, as he will
install an up-to-date bakery in
every respect.
Sank Centre is losing an excel
lent family, and their many
friends regret the move. Mrs !.
Gallea and son, Clarence, will how
ever remain in the city until the
close of school.
Mr.. Gallea is an excellent bak-
er and has always turned out a
splendid product. Fergus Falls
will gain good baker and a cour-
teous and up-to-date business man.

BUSINESS MEN FOR

Prominent Sank Centre Cit.
zens Will Back the Local
Troops to the Limit
Is A WONDERFUL WORK
Rotary Club and American
Legion Are Each SpOn-
sOring Unit

Many of the business and pro-
fessional men of Sank Centre, in
endorsing the Boy Scout work as
our greatest organization, have
signified a willingness to boost it
to the limit. Plans for extensive
work in this organization are now
under way and will be made pub
lie at a later date. !.
Scout work will be made more
interesting this year and every
eligible boy in the community
should be encouraged to join. The
following are the personal. en-
dorsements of business and pro-
fessional men of our city:
Eleven Years Experience in Scout
Work Has Convinced Me
Boy Scouting has to do with
youth in its plastic and most i'm
questionable period. 1t is non-mil-
itaristic and it is non-sectarian, at
least to the extent of embracing
all the leading religions of the
world. 1t builds character, and it
trains for citizenship. 1t instills
in the individual a consciousness
of his relationship to organized
society, the nation, the state, and
the community. It stands for toll
erance, for good will, and for SER
vice to those who need help. 1t
brings boys into close touch with
Nature and all her wonders. It
teaches them to ''be prepared
for emergencies, to use their self
reliance. 1t stresses the fact that
there can be such a thing as broth
erhood that draws no prejudiced
lines of creed, race or color. 1t
makes for strong bodies and clean,
alert minds. 1t commands obed-
fence to law, reverence for God
friendliness to ones fellows, honor
for the horne, respect for troop and
social disciplines, and due re-
gard for life's little and big hero
isms. The camping, the hiking.
and the other outdoor recreational
features of Scout life ake a -nfeans
to an end, not an end in them
selves. They are lbody4builders, as
it is desired they should be, but
they build also for wholesome
comradeship in the best sense OF
the term. They rear right atti-
tudes of mind and form them into

short distance. Hugo was killed
instantly, both cattle were killed
and the truck was completely de-
molished.
Deputy Coroner DR.. a. F. Moy-
nihan, of this city, was Immediately
