Community Market Plan
to Be Completed Soon
Sank Centre Farmers Shipping As
ISOLATION Will Take Over
Milling Plant

Ever since the closing of the
Central MINI. Flour and Milling
Company's plant several months
ago the problem of a proper grain
market for Sank Centre has been
seriously discussed at the Com
munity Club, by the farmers and
business men.
Some weeks ago the directors of
the Sank Centre Farmers Shipping
Association were prevailed upon to
consider the proposition of taking
the mill over and extending the as
sociation's activities to do handling
of grain and seeds.
The proposed taking over of the
milling property is community
project. Negotiations for the as
sumption of management by the
Farmers Shipping Association are
about completed. In next weeks
issue of the Herald we hope to be in
a position to give all of the details
which, when completed, will give
Sank Centre as good a market for
grain, seeds, -four and feed, as can
be found in Central Minnesota.

Keep to the Right is Very
Good Rule to Strictly Obey
Driving in Middle of Busy High.
way Leads to Many Serious
Accidents

Newspapers and traffic officers
have issued repeated warnings
against driving in the middle of
busy road, but many drivers con-
tinue this dangerous practice. The
traffic law requires everyone to
keep on the right halaf of the road
except when passing other vehicles,
or when the condition of the road
makes driving on the right imprac-
teal.
The keep to the right rule is
especially important on pavements,
says Highway bulletin. The entire
vihicle should be kept to the right
of the centre line. To drive with the
left wheel on the center line, as
many do, is taking serious risks.
If the left wheel is kept two feet
to the right of the center line, there
will still be two feet to the right
edge of an 18 foot pavement, giving
ample margin for safety. On the 20
foot pavements the margin Is still
larger.
There is less risk IN going too
far right than too far left II the
right wheel goes off the pavement,

The Bank Losses at
Willmar Are Fixed
Cash Lost in Daylight Holdup
Settled At $45,OOO- Bank
Satisfied

Willmar, Aug 4.-The cash loss of
the Bank of Willmar in the recent
daylight holdup has been recomp-
ensed to the extent of $45,213,.75 by
four insurance companies which
held burglary policies to the extent
of $135, 900 on the bank.
p. B. Hong, president of the bank
stated that the next step in the
settlement will be that of the ne
gotiable securities such as Liberty
bonds. These consist largely of
coupon bonds and while a number
of formalities- must be complied
with, a settlement is expected to be
made within several weeks.
Registered bonds will be settled
last of all, together with other ne
gotiable paper. In this case the in
surance companies have the choice
of paying cash or substituting
bonds of the same issue in place Of
those lost before duplicates can be
secured from companies issuing the
bonds In many cases no duplicates
will be issued until a period of sew
eral months have elapsed.
Bank officials expressed themsel-
yes as highly pleased with the pro-
gress of the insurance settlements.

Fire Department Called to
Hoboken Early Wednesday
Spontaneous Combustion Said to
Be Cause-Department Called
Again; Find Flames in Attic.

Wednesday morning at about five
minutes to four the fire department
was called to the home of 0. r. JUL
son, in Hoboken, to extinguish a
serious blaze.
The fire started, it is thought, be-
meath the steps from oiled rags,
which had been used for busting.
Being outside of the fire zone, it
was necessary to pump water from
the cistern to subdue the flames.
Before the company had returned
to the fire hall, a second alarm was
turned in. Flames had been dis
covered in the attic, when piece
Of plaster dropped to the floor. 1t
is thought that the flames followed
up through the wall from the stair
way. Through heroic effort by the
firemen the roof was saved and on
ly the interior of the house was
badly burned. All contents accord
ing to reports, were saved.
The house was known as the old
Chenoweth house, and is located
next to the Levi Smith home.

A VERY FINE HERD

The Jennisen Brothers are MAX
ing an outstanding success with
their purebred Holstein herd at the
MDnarchial Stock Farm, Getty
township. The herd has recently
been inspected for the third time
and each inspection has been found
free from tuberculosis. They will
receive a fully accredited Herd
Certificate. The herd consist of
over 80 head all purebred and reg
istered Holsteins. Several of the
Monorchial Stock Farm cows are
we'll over 400 pounds of butterfat

Local Golfers Will Play
At Long Prairie Aug. II
GlenwOod Defeated by Three Points
On a Very Hot Sunday
Afternoon

Sunday, Aug. IL the Sank Centre
Country Club members, will play
the last scheduled tournament of
the season, when they go. to Long
Prairie to meet the golfers, of the
Todd County capitol. Earlier in the
season Long Prairie came here and
was badly defeated because the Wis
itors were not familiar with the
grass greens.
The Long Prairie coures has sand
greens and, excellent as they are,
there is apt to be a different story
to tell at the close of the tourna-
ment, Aug. II. -.
Last Sunday the Glenwood club
were the guests at the local course.
The extreme heat kept several of
the veterans out of the tournament.
Sank Centre won by three points.
Norman Frank, Sank Centre, was
medalist with a score of 81 for the
Is holes.
The following is the score, the
names of the Sank Centre players

Ali Members May Not Be
Housed at County Fair
Up to This Thursday Morning Cots
for Their Use Had Not Been
Secured

For some time the officers of
the Stearns County Fair and Coun-
ty All Club Leader Frederick WEIGH
have been endeavoring to secure
cots in which to sleep the boys and
girls exhibiting their projects at
the fair next week. The plan was
to quarter the boys at the Armory
and the girls at the Community Club
rooms.
A story published Wednesday
evening stated that the plans were
completed for the sleeping of the
young people. The. Herald inter-
viewed President j. B. Schoenhoff
and Secretary Hillerud this Thurs
day morning. They stated that they
had been unable to secure cots.
There is a possibility that about 40
can be secured from st. Cloud Area
of the Boy Scouts. These cots are
used at the Avon camp. The Girl
Scouts may be in camp at Avon
next week. If they are the cots
will be used there; if not they will
be available for the All Club work
ers. A letter received by Secre-
tary Hillerud yesterday from the
District Scout Leader said they
would not know definitely until Fri
day of this week whether the cots
would be available for the Fair or
not.
The Herald made an attempt this
Thursday morning tn GET in touch
with County Leader Frederick
WEIGH to see where he planned on
getting his cots but it was not pos
sible to reach him before the hour
of going to press as he is very
busy young man.
Arrangements have been made to
feed the Al Club workers at the
Fair grounds. Mrs. Frank Schlichte

Second Child ofFamily
Dies Wifhin Past Week
Vernon Noble, Passed Away
Friday Afternoon

For the second time within a
very short period the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Vernon Noble was draped
in sorrow. Last week the Herald
published an account of the death
of their two-year-old son, Frank,
who passed away July 18th, and
on Friday the family was again
sorely afflicted in the loss of one
Of the twins.
The little fellow had suffered ter
ribly with whooping cough and his
condition became more serious I'M
til through weakness the dread dis
ease claimed it's victim.
Gene Noble, was born in Fargo,
N. D., on March 22nd, 1880 and was
four and one-half months old at
the time of DEATH. The other twin
who has also been very ill, is gett-
ing better.
Funeral services for the baby
were held from the home Saturday
afternoon at two o'clock. Rev. J. c.
Craig had charge Of the last sad
rites. Burial was made in Green
wood cemetery. .
Mr.. and Mrs. Noble have the
sympathy of the entire community
in their sorrow and affliction.

Foley.Duelm Stopped
MainStreeterS Sunday
String of Eight Successive Victories
BrOken-Defeated BY Score of
IL to

Sank Centres baseball team
travelled to Foley Sunday where
they succumbed to combination
of too much heat and mostly too
much Foley.
On this particular occasion their
playing reminded one of the "Old
One Hoss Shay. There was no out
standing weakness anywhere, but a
general crumbling up of the entire
running gear. ...
Good fielding on the part of Sank
Centre was conspicuous by it's
absence, and Judkins, usually cool
under and circumstances, blew up
under the strain of working under
the terrible sun, without support.
On top of all this, Neil Rengel, the
Foley chucker, who has also estab-
lished a reputation down east as
halfback at Davis and Elvins col
lege, had our boys eating out of his
hand throughout the game.
The terrific heat was more than
some of the oldtimers could stand
and before the game was over Otto
Paul, veteran catcher, retired in
favor of the youthful Miller and
Butler was moved to first to take
Gilbert's place. The game closed
with the score of IL to 1 against
Sank Centre.
Next Sunday the locals meet Long
Prairie on the latter's home lot.
Long Prairie has ridden rough shod
over everything north of this city,
with the exception of Swanville.
Therefore next Sundays game
should be a good one, as the locals
are fighting mad and ready to reek
vengeance on any team that may
come across their trail. A slightly
revised lineup may make the team
stronger for the Long Prairie game
than at any previous game Of the
season.
It may be worth your while to go
to Long Prairie next Sunday. We
were unable to get the box score of
Sundays game.

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE

Sunday afternoon at shortly af-
ter 800 o'clock Verd Neal was TAX
ing his family to Fairy Lake for
swim. They had turned off the
county road and were headed
toward the lake when they met a
coupe driven by a couple of young
men from Greenwald. There is a
very narrow strip of road at the
bottom of the hill. An attempt
was made by the coupe to pass.
Verd pulled off to the extreme right
side, the shoulder gave way and be-
fore he could right the Chevrolet
sedan the car landed in the muddy
water in the ditch on its top. Luck
lily all of the six occupants of the
sedan escaped with only slight
bruises. The car was righted,
brought to the city, filed with oil
and was driven away on it's own
power. This stretch of road has
given more than one driver an ex-
ira heart beat as he saw another
car approaching at this particular
point.

LIBRARY ROBBED

Sometime Saturday or Sunday
evening petty thieves forced an
entrance into the Bryant Lii
brary, this city, by forcing open a
transon over a door at the rear
and stole something over $500 in
small change. The robbery was not
detected until Monday afternoon.
The job was very likely the work
of local talent. The place where
entry was made is small; SO they
were likely boys. Police Chief
Joseph Miller says there are no
clues to work on.

Harland Flour and
Feed Go. Enlarging
Location in Future-New
Crop Arriving

The Harland Flour and Feed
Company which entered the bust
ness field in Sank Centre two years
ago by erecting a flour and feed
warehouse on North Main Street,
purchasing the Erwin Elevator on
the Great Northern right of way
from E. H. Eyler in April, 1929,
are making some radical changes
and improvements at their elevat-
or property.
The building used for ware
house and feedmill to the north of
the elevator has been moved to
just north of the office. Pipes will
run from the cupola of the elevat-
or to the feedmill, making it posi-
BILE to send any wanted grain di-
rectly from the elevator to the
mill for grinding. ..
The building on North Main st.
will be moved to the company's
ground and will be located just
west of the elevator on the site oc-
cupied for many years by Geo.
O'Gara's railroad restaurant. The
restaurant has been moved across
the street to the north and west.
The Main street building will be
used entirely for the storage of
-four and feeds.
Charles Parkinson is the local
manager for the Harland Flour and
Feed business. He is splendid
judge of grain and seeds and has
built up a fine business.
Mr.. Parkinson stated to the Her
aid Wednesday that the new crop
has commenced to arrive at the
elevator and that the quality was
generally very good.

nestle and California fruits and
produce, and candy and cigars, pur-
chased the Minneapolis Brewing
Companys beer warehouse on the
Great Northern right of way, Sank
Centre, and began to handle pro-
duct out of this city in small way.
L. w. Whitson, of this city, was
placed in charge, covering a numb
er of towns in Central Minnesota.
Mr.. Wash, president of the E. P.
Stacy & Sons, spent Saturday in
this city with Mr.. Whitson, going
over the company's property. This
was the first visit the gentleman
had made to Sank Centre since the
company acquired the property.
They are so pleased with the
showing Mr.. Whitson has made for
them in Sank Centre and the ter
ritory adjacent, that he authorized
Mr.. Whitson to at once secure bids
for the wrecking Of the present
building, stating a new and mod.
ern fruit building would be erected
on the present site, the completed
property to be ready not later than
Nov. 1, this year.
Because of the large amount of
ice in the ice box at the plant it
will not be possible to wreck the
present building for about six
weeks. Temporary quarters will be
secured while the old building is
being wrecked and the new struc-
ture erected.
The new building will be SO by
38 feet, and will contain two mod
ern insulated banana rooms. Ba-
nanas will be shipped to Sank
Centre direct from seaboard in car
lots, and a man will be schooled in
the art of ripening and caring for
bananas. There will be two mod
ern ice boxes, storage and ship
ping room, a private and general
office-covered loading platform,
also receiving covered platforms.
a, Practically all goods will be
bought in carload lots. At least
three men will be put-on the road
travelling out of this city selling
the merchandise handled by e. p.
Stacy & Sons. Mr.. Whitson, as
manager, will spend much of his
time in the city, but will do some
travelling.
The business has deveIoped from
a very poor start to thriving one.
A combination of good manage
ment and high grade merchandise
always brings these results.
The Sank Centre House will be
an Independent house, not branch
of Minneapolis. ..
The Herald congratulates E. P.

Room in Basement

Work for the extensive remodel
ing and improving of the Merchants
National Bank Building has start
ed. 1t is expected that it will re-
quire about 80 days to complete the
job.
improvements have been under
consideration for over a year; but
with the increased business coinci-
dent with the: taking over of the
First National Bank and affiliating
with the First Bank Stock Cor
poration several months ago the
changes have become imperative in
order to handle the business effic-
iently.
The plans call for the changing
of the bank entrance. The steps
will start flush with the building
and will enter into vestibule, doing
away with slippery and dangerous
steps in the winter. The section
now used as an office for President
D. B. Caughren will be extended
to the rear about 10 feet. The
new quarters will care for the
desks of both Mr.. Caughren and
Cashier A. F. Strebel.
The vaults will be removed and
placed at the very rear of the
building in room now used for
other purposes. The new vaults
will be as nearly burglar proof as
human ingenuity can make them.
Close to the vaults will be small
passageways and desks for the
convenience of the customers de-
string to reach; and use their safety
deposit boxes,
The banking room will be extend
ed to the east taking in the space
now used by the vaults. The bank
lobby will be widened and there
will be five windows with cages
for the use of the tellers and as
sistant cashiers.
The lobby will have a terrace
floor and marble wainscoating.
The directors room will be placed
in the basement in a room used
for coal. An oil burner will be in
stalled releasing this space.
The stairway to the second floor
will be erected on the outside of
the building. It will start on the
Third street side to the landing
and will be continued to the Sec
ond floor on the east end of the
building. The stairway will be en-
closed.
The improvements will utilize
every foot of space available on the
site for banking purposes.

MINI. Crop Situation Is
Serious Because of Drouth
Intense Heat Has Been Expensive
For Many Parts Of The

st. Paul, Aug. 6.-The northwest,
relatively favored in the last month
while other sections of the country
suffered disastrously from the
drouth, faced more serious situa-
ton today as heat continued to
blister it's fields.
While rain fell in parts of North
Dakota, South Dakota, Montana
and Wisconsin last night, in most
districts it was too light to be of
lasting benefit to parched plants.
An exception was the area about
Darlington in east central North
Dakota, where rain totaled LOS
inch.
In South Dakota, Lennon on the
boundary in the far northwestern
section had "a inch of rain while
Pierre had OF inch. In Montana,
Bozeman had OF, Madison &c and
Milwaukee .08.
Agricultural specialists of north
west states said that while damage
thus far had not been so severe as
in other sections of the country,
each day without rain was making
the situation more serious.
Heat damage to corn in Martin
county, near Fairmont was estimat-
ed by growers today at four and
one-half bushels per acre, with
some placing it higher. Two-thirds
inch of rain there Sunday saved the
crop although more moisture will be
needed soon.
Drouth damage has reduced the
probable yield of corn and late po-
tatoes, said reports from Austin to-
day, and heavy losses are likely I'M
less rain comes soon. Around LIE.

tually no rain for month.
