Auxiliary Will Conduct
Annual Poppy Sale Sat.
Deserving movement Has Been
Literally Supported by This
Community in The Past

The annual Poppy Sale sponsored
by the Woman's Auxiliary of the
American Legion will be held in
this city Saturday, May "a.
When one realizes that the popy
sale is not only a means of paying
honor to the war dead but also a
means of helping the living victims
of war, the double incentive for pur-
chasing poppies should come home
to each one.
For the past year World War vet
Grams have been dying at the rate
of 70 each day. These men are just
as truly victoms of the war as those
killed in battle. "a
The poppies worn on Poppy Day
will honor them as all the other
Americans who have sacrificed
their lives for their country.
The people of Sauk Centre have
always supported this splendid
movement and the Herald is GER
tain they will do so Saturday.

Seniors First in High
School Field Events
Splendid School Spirit Developed in
Inter-Class Athletics-Jim
O'Gara, High Man

The boys of the Senior and Junior
High Schools completed their pro-
gram of athletics under Coach Nor
man Nicholson with inter-class
track meets Friday and Monday.
The students have been in inter-
class competition since the begin
ming of the year in football, basket
ball, volley ball, kittenball and
track. AS he did last year, Mr..
Nicholson offered splendid trophy
to the winning class and awarded
one to the Seventh graders, Junior
High winners, and one to the Sen
iors winner in the Senior High.
The Seventh graders won their
trophy just in track; while the Sen
iors won the football, volley ball
and track to win their trophy. The
Juniors won the basket ball and
the Sophomores won the kittenball.
Mr.. Nicholson innaugurated these
contests as part of his physical ed
ucation classes and has conducted
them in way that enables the
maximum of boys to take part.
About IS per cent of the boys of
the Senior High competed in at
least one event for his calls; which
shows fine athletic spirit in the
school.
In the Junior High, the contests
were held on handicap basis. AT
the beginning of the season, meets
were held to determine each ones
ability. Last Friday, a final meet
was held. The percentage of m
crease in each event was the basis
for the scoring of the meet. The
Seventh graders scored a total of
81 per cent increase over the first
marks to take the meet. The
Eighth graders followed closely be-
hind them with II per cent and
the Frosh were last with SIS per
cent.
Warren Rose and Jim O'Gara
starred for the winners. Rose in
creased his high jump mark to AZ
inches, as high as he is. Jim O'Gara
decreased his time for the 50-yard
dash to 76 seconds, which was on
ly a of a second slower than the
best time. Mr.. Nicholson present
ed the winners with their trophys
Tuesday.

were spread out over the entire

Sauk Centre Came Near
Being Northern Boundary
Territorial Fathers Were Faced
with Serious Problem Drafting
COnStitiOnS, Record Shows

The seventy-second anniversary
of Minnesota's admission to the
Union as a state recalls one of the
most serious problems faced by the
territorial fathers in drawing up a
constitution. Should the new state
extend northward to the interna-
tional boundary and westward to
the Red River, or should its north
ern boundary be about on the lati-
tude of Sauk Centre and it's west
ern follow the Missouri River? The
enabling act, approved in Washing
ton on February 26, 1857, provided
for the north and south line. Never
theless, the east and west line had
many supporters.
Among the prominent pioneers
who favored the north and south
line was Martin Mcleod. He had
lived in the Minnesota country
since 1887; he had been fur-trader
and he was interested in several
town sites, so he knew the country
we'll. On January 20, 1857, after he
heard that the bill for the organi-
Zation of the state had been intro
duced in Congress he wrote to bis
friend, Colonel John H. Stevens of
st. Anthony, expressing his views
concerning the boundary. Il know
the west and the utter worthless
ness of a great portion Of it tow
ards the Missouri" he wrote. II
also know and have travelled in the
Lake Superior region in many di-
rections. We want the minerals,
pines, fisheries and the outlet by
the great inland sea. We do not
want the muddy, and turbulent Mis-
souri, with it's still more dark and
turbulent tribes, it's gravelly hills,
it's sterile prairies without a tree"
These were the reasons, Mcleod
told his friend, why he always had
"been for the north and south line"
Fortunately for the future state,
which finally was admitted to the
Union on May II, 1858, the advice
of such men as Mcleod was fol-
lowed. His letter is one of the
many items of interest in connection
with the states birthday in the
possession of the Minnesota His
torical society.

SAUK CENTRE HASA
POPULATION GAIN
Check Up of City Places the
Number of Residents April
First at 2,711
LESS AT HOME SCHOOL
Actual Gain of 1872 in 10-Year
Period in Business and
Residential Section

The Federal censes OF 1920 gave
the city of Sauk Centre a popula-
tion of 2699.
A statement given out by the
Supervisor of the 1880 Census for
the fifth Minnesota district Friday
of last week placed the population
of the city at 1868.
Before the figures were given out
there were rumors that Sauk Cen
tres population would show a de-
crease over the 1920 totals.
Friday afternoon the Herald edit
or accompanied by Mayor Sigurd
Holme drove to Little Falls to take
up the matter with the district
supervision.
The Sauk Centre representatives
insisted there must be something
wrong with the total of 1858. It was
pointed out that there had been ap-
proximately so new houses erected
during the last decade; that the
public school enrolment had in
creased over 100 and that the birth
rate had exceeded the death rate in
each of the 10 years, and that there
were practically no empty houses in
the city.
A comparison of the figures of
1920 showed that in the population
of 2699, 343 of them were credited
to the Home School for girls.
In figures 1858 given out Friday
1856 were credited to the Home
School.
The Home School for Girls is
located partly within the City limits
and partly in Sauk Centre township.
On checking up Saturday the
Herald editor found that an error
had been made in connection with
the Home School population. The
number residing in the city was
found to be 1913 instead of 156 as
credited. The latter number repre-
sented those living in the township.
A letter was written District
Supervision Greene setting forth
the facts above mentioned with the
request that he visit Sauk Centre at
his earliest convenience.
He arrived in the city Monday
forenoon and stated that an error
had been made in the placing of the
Home School totals and that the
city was entitled to a credit of 1913,
an increase of 81 bringing the city's
total up to 2690.
He said that he was willing to
cooperate and give the citizens of
Sauk Centre every opportunity to
check up on the enumeration and
would give them three days to do
the work.
A meeting of citizens was held at
the Community Club rooms Monday
evening at which time the city was
apportioned and call was made at
every home to ascertain if anyone
had been missed in the enumera-
ton. The results were quite salts
factory as 21 were found who had
not been enumerated, which
brought the city's total up to Pill.

343 credited to the city 10 years

WATER HEALTHFUL

The State Board of Health has
made it's annual analysis of the
water supply at Sauk Centre re-
Gently. From the six samples Of
water taken; namely, one at the
pumping station one at the Palm
er House Hotel, one at the Home
School Morse Hall, one at the High
School, one at the Long Hospital
and one at the Blue Valley Cream
cry, the conclusion is as follows:
Samples No. 32713 to 32718
inclusive represent water col
lected from the pumping sta
ton and various points on the
distribution system. The bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination of
these samples showed the wat
er to be of good sanitary qua

Seat Becomes Hot From
Contact with Good Battery
Warm Experience For Ben Carpen
ter and Fred Walker-Wires
Under Cushion Red Hot

Recently when Ben Carpenter
and Fred Walker were driving
to the country to get a Ford
truck for which they had trad
ed they met with an experience
which we believe good enough
to pass on.
They took a new battery with
them and placed it in the trade
in car. The seat was bulged
down in the middle and after
driving a short distance Ben
remarked that he thought the
car was afire. The seat became
hotter and hotter and finally
Ben was forced to slow down.
After investigation is was prov
en- that the wires of the seat
had rested on the battery and
had become red hot.
1t was a rather warm exper-
fence for the boys, but neither
was the worse for that after the
trouble was discovered.
