HJJMDRUM WORLD SCANS NOIS E,
 SAYS SCIENTIST

BLOOMINGTON, Ill, Oct. 16.-While some scientists are making sound tests and deploring- the harm noise doies, Prof. F. c. Dockery, psychologist at Illinois Wes- leyan here, is inclined to dissent.
 "This would be a hum drum world if we could el- intimate all noisesj" says Professor Dockery. Noises which interfere with speech, disturb the ill and those pet noises which irritate, are really harmful. Noises which people believe harm ful are usually associated with disagreeable situations.
 But experiments h ave been performed which show ed that a person sometimes does better work under noisy conditions"

20 Years Ago
Excerpts From The Herald
of May 6, 1909

of May 6, 1909
OF all the weeks in the history
of Minnesota, that closing Monday
night, May 3, was the worst for the
time Of the year. One solid week
of wintry weather with a snow
storm lasting two-thirds of the
time, freezing temperature at night
and a fierce northwest wind blow
ing all the time. Snow drifts piled
up over six feet high in many
places, delaying trains and inter-
fering with telegraph and tele-
phone service. On Saturday two
of the rural mail carriers were
compelled to turn back. Mrs. Wal
lace reached a point four or five
miles out and had to turn around
and return to town. Mr.. Mcintyre
covered half of his route but
couldn't get any further. Frank
Pangburn got stuck in snow drift
and it took him an hour to get
through. But he nearly wrecked
his rig. He covered the entire
route but said it was the worst
hay he had encountered during
the four years he has carried mail.
The other carriers all had serious
times but managed to get through
E. E. Compton made the trip on
runners Saturday.
notwithstanding the fact that
the 1909 Minnesota Legislative
ual, issued by the secretary of
Manual, issued by the secretary of
Board of Control has not yet Sc
lected a location for the Girls In
dustrial School, force of three
men is at work this week survey
ing the right of way for the sub
line to lead from the Northern Pa
cific railroad to the site at the
north end of main Street. These
men began work Tuesday and are
still at it. The appropriation of $685.
600, made by the 1907 legislature, is
sufficient to defray any expense
the Board of Control may incur
until July 81, 1909, when the ap-
preparation of $125,00O made by
the 1909 legislature is available. It
is not known whether the trio of
surveyors consulted the secretary
of the state before they came to
Sank Centre to begin work. But
they go right along and attend
i strictly to their business just the
same as if the BLUE Book
| hadn't said the school has not yet
been located.

Popular Todd County Young
People Wed

The marriage on April 25th of
Mr.. Stanley Farden and Miss Pearl

popular and well known young
people of southern Todd county.
The ceremony was selemnized at

officiating, in the presence of a
small company of relatives. The
bride was attended by Miss Evelyn
Farden, lister of the groom, and
Mr.. E. Brendmee, brother of the
bride, acted as best man. The
brides dress was a tan ensemble
with hat to match. The bridesmaid
wore creation of brown satin. The
beautiful ring service was used.
The happy young people will live

BERTHA HERALD IMPROVED

D. E. Cuppernull, editor of the
Bertha Herald, made a great inn
provement in his newspaper, when
he changed from the six to seven
column width. The Herald is now
the largest of the small town pa
pers in Todd County. Published in
small village of 400 people, it re-
fleets great credit on the editor and
is also a good criterion of the bus
mess and the loyalty of the people
of that live little village.

ingenious were the devices used to
cook the food, and some of the
boys showed themselves quite
adept at the art. After enjoying
the camp meal, the boys, scout
leaders and visitor enjoyed the
game Capture the Flag" This
game was rather rough for the
Herald representative but never
theless he enjoyed it as much as
the rest of the kids, Scott and Ko-
Wake included. It was splendid
outing and more than ever proves
the value of scouting to the COM

West Union Couple Are
Honored by Old Friends
Mr.. and Mrs. Anton Aageson Cele-
brate Silver Wedding Ami
versary, April 20

A community gathering of unus-
ual interest was planned and sue
cessfully carried out by neighbors
and friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Anton
Aageson last Sunday afternoon.
About 200 people gathered at their
home and took possession of it, the
occasion being the silver wedding
anniversary of their host and hos
tess. Rev. j. A. Johnson in an APP
propriate speech informed the
blushing bride and groom that the
company had gathered with no ul-
terror motive, but rather to show
their appreciation of their good
neighbors and to evidence the high
esteem in which they are held. Mr..
and Mrs. Aageson have toiled faith
fully together over the quarter of
century period to build up one of
the finest and most comfortable
homes in the community. All dur
ing this span of years they have
been active, too, in church and
community affairs and they num-
Der their friends by the score. Mr..
and Mrs. Aageson were presented
with beautiful silver set and a
generous purse of silver as a token
of esteem of their friends and as a
remembrance of the happy occas-
ion, and the hope was expressed
that they might be permitted to
live and to enjoy the fruits of their
labors for many more years to
come; in fact all hoped that they
may be permitted to as happily
observe their golden wedding and
that most of those present on their
silver wedding day may be with
them again on their 50th anniver-
sary. Hon. Chris Heen was called
upon and in his usual pleasing and
joval manner also assured Mr.. and
Mrs. Aageson, of the high place
they hold in the affections of their
neighbors and their friends. The
self-invited guests brought boun-
teous supply of edibles along with
them, and all did full justice to the
fine luncheon prepared and served.
A photographer from Alexandria
was present to take a group picture
of the large company, one of the
most largely attended affairs of it's
kind in the history of southern

le SON of Mr.. and Mrs. Dan Wal
:, and a nephew of Mrs. Ben s
onton, formerly Miss Sara
Talker:
A blood-thirsty bandit kid
mapped a st. Paul automobile
salesman, tied him to a tree
in lonely wooded spot north
of st. Paul, shot him, slugged
him and robbed him of a
demonstration automobile.
The bandit walked into the
Holt Motor Company in st.
Paul late yesterday and asked
to be shown a car. James
Walker, 20 years old, lit st.
Albany treet NJ, st. Paul, a
salesman, offered to demon
strate one of the cars to the
man.
With Walker at the wheel,
they drove to Sixth and Pine
streets, st. Paul.
II think my wife would
like this machine" the man
said. Drive it out to her
and we'll let her see it."
AS they turned, the bandit
drew a pistol and jammed it
into the automobile sales
mans ribs.
"Now drive out Arcade
street and drive fast" the ban
dit snarled.
With the pistol constantly
pressed against his ribs,
Walker drove out Highway
No. 1, past White Bear. On
orders from the bandit
Walker drove to a point two
miles north of Bald Eagle
Lake, where the gunman or
dered him to stop.
Pushing the salesman from
the machine, the kidnapper
dragged him to a tree and
tied him to it with a small
rope.
II ought to kill you," the
bandit growled. 'I'll probably
get 40 years for this anyway"
With these words, he shot
Walker, the bullet entering
the salesman's right thigh.
Then he stepped forward
quickly, knocking out two of
his teeth.
Don't worry now" the rob-
Der said, "I'll be back in
about 80 minutes. I've got a
job to do"
Walker fearing the man in
tended to kill him when he
returned, jerked himself free
from his bonds and, bleeding
from the mouth and from the
wound in his thigh, struggled
to the farm of Frank Wenzel,
where physician was sum-
moned to care for him.

NEARLY HANGS SELF

After hanging by his throat un-
til the nail bent and dropped to
the floor eight feet below, Alvin
Vance is still alive to tell the story.
Vance was aiding X. c. Rude in
putting up sign in the Rude ga
rage yesterday when the support
on which he was standing slipped,
causing him to fall against a row
of spikes in the wall. Piercing the
skin, the nail tore a cash about
two inches long until it struck the
jaw bone hooked over the nail, and
Vance hung there until the spike
bent and dropped him to the floor.
Rude was too astounded to help.
Scoring the attendance of a ply
stefan, Vance went to the drug
store to have the wound dressed.
His only comment was: II planned
to have my tonsils taken out this
spring, but guess I tried to do
it myself" Dawson Sentinel.
