20 Years Ago
Excerpts From the Herald
September Is, 1910


Hon. JOS. Capser is one of the
first settlers in Sauk Centre and
during the forty odd years he has
lived here he has always been in
terested in promoting measures for
the city's health and beauty. For
nearly thirty years Ito be exact it's
28) he has been a member of the
Board of Health and active and
instrumental in seeing that the city
always puts it's best side to the
front. Mr.. Capser tells The Her
aid that only few days ago a
travelling man visited here who said
he had been told that Sauk Centre
was one of the cleanest little cities
in the West. Mr.. Capser believes
that the dredging of the bay and
the extension of the city park is a
good thing in more ways than one.
1t not only increases the beauty
of the city but also conduces to
the public health. He is enthus-
iastic over the improvement.
The public drinking cup is to be
kicked out of the public schools of
Sauk Centre. The board of Educa-
ton has said it and means it. In
place of this disseminator of di-
sease will come the individual
drinking cup. The bubble fountain
is not now available, owing to the
present water supply, but it may
| come later.
Alderman "Bill" Pangburn, the
we'll known and popular city
dad" from the first ward, is just
now engaged in administering to
the already pretty little city of Sauk
Centre. dose which will make
the municipality even more beau
tiful. The prescription was drawn
by the city council at it's regular
September meeting, held last week,
and is as follows: BE it Resolved,
by the City Council of the City of
Sauk Centre. that the bay west of
the city park be cleaned and the
mud be removed by said city and
be placed upon the land west of
the bay, and further, that all boat
houses on said bay be required to
be Strengthened under the supervi-
sion of the special committee ap-
pointed to attend to the removal
of the mud from the bay, and that
said removal of boat houses be
done within As days from date
hereof"
Chicken shooting is fair, though
the birds are as a rule pretty wild.
A large number of hunting parties
have gone out from Sauk Centre
and all return with fair-sized bags
of birds. Some of them (hunters,
not birds) return with sun-burnt
faces and red noses.

XX/OMEN will continue to ap-
w pear in print this fall. And
now that this point is settled,
everybody's happy, for of all fat
tering frOcks time and experience
has proved there is none more
fiattering than the frock of sheer
print.
As to whether this print or that
tunes into the autumn picture de-
pends mostly upon its cOlOring.
An outstanding difference be-
tween daytime prints and those for
evening or formal afternoon wear
is that the former are supposed to
be patterned in neat little designs
while the latter are distinguished
with their huge florals in gorgeous
hues.
The niftiest thing on record at
this very instant in the way Of
prints for daytime wear is the very
new canton crepes which pattern
dark grounds with prim little white
designs. These neat-type white-On.
dark prints subscribe to tailored
treatment with outmOst chic. One
