The Camp Fire Girls announced
today, through its president, Miss
Florence Hughes, New York, that
the age of admission to the or
ganization has been reduced from
IL to 10. This will make eligible
to Camp Fire Girls many members
of the Blue Birds, its junior organi-
zation.
Reduction of the age admission
from II to 10 has been made by the
Camp Fire Girls because the aver
age 10-year-old girl of today ac-
tually is more developed, mentally
than the 11-year-old Of only a few
years ago." said Miss Hughes. THE
growth and popularity of the junior
high school idea is strong evidence
of the shift downward in the age OF
adolescence. OF course, fundamen-
tally, the change probably is the re-
suit of the intensity of modern
mental and physical training.
There has been no element Of
forcing behind this change. 1t
comes primarily because of the ma
ton wide demand of the 10-year-
old girls in the Blue Birds, for the
more highly individual activities
which the older Camp Fire Girls
have enjoyed. The fundamental
purpose of the Camp Fire Girls is
to develop a creative individualism
combined with the highest stand
ards of moral, mental and physical
health.
I'm accordance with this prin-
ciple, the girl admitted to Camp
Fire first chooses a name and SYM

girl is encouraged to be more and
more herself. The strong and beau
tiful symbolism of the various In
dian tribes offers an unexcelled me-
dium for this purpose. 1t is so SIM
pie that it may be used with ease
by the girl of 10, yet it permits of
combinations and complexities of
design numerous and beautiful
enough to satisfy mature artist of
genius.
In more practical work the Camp
Fire girl is taught to assume re-
sponsibility, however heavy, imme-
diately and without finching. Thus,

Program for Stearns Co.
Fair Practically Complete
Amusement Program of Unusual
Merit BOOked-Stearns County
Appropriates $500

At the meeting of the Stearns
County Commissioners last week
$1,000 was appropriated to the Agri-
cultural Society of Stearns county
to partially reimburse the Associa-
ton for the money hung up for
premiums in Rural School and
Boys and Girls All Clubs projects.
County Superintendent Boerger
has completed his plans for the
Intelligence contest for the Rural
and Graded schools of the county
Seventy-eight young people have
entered this contest.
1t is quite confidently expected
that the amusement program
booked for this year will give gen,
eral satisfaction. In former years
attractions have been booked for
three days. This year the program
given in the afternoon will not be
repeated in the evening. The vaude-
vile acts will bring new people
each day of the fair. Each act
booked is headline act and should
appeal to the public.
President J. B. Schoenhoff will
call a meeting of the directors OF
the Fair within the next week to
work out the final details.
The premium list for the 1890
fair is now in the process of print
ing in the Herald office. It will be
mailed out the first week in July.

Mrs. George Brown Sells
:, the Main Street Cafe
New Owner Is An Experienced
Chief-BrOwns Will Move to
Washington

After successfully conducting the
Main Street Cafe for seven years
Mrs. George Brown Monday sold
the business to Edward Polipnik,
of st. Cloud.
For the past two years or more
Mrs. Brown has been afflicted with
an asmathetic condition and heart
affliction. Her physicians have
advised her that change in eli
matte conditions would restore the
lady to her usual good health.
When Mrs. Brown took over the
Main Street Cafe seven years ago
the business was anything but en-
couraging. She specialized in home
cooked food and very soon built up
a gratifying business which she
reluctantly sold to Edward Polip-
mix, og st. Cloud.
The nIw owner will take pos
session of the Business immediate
ly after dinner, Sunday, June o.
He is an experienced chef and will
undoubtedly maintain the Main
Street Cafe up to the high stand
ard established by Mrs. Brown.
Prior to coming to Sank Centre
seven years ago M. and Mrs.
Brown resided in the West. The
doctors predict that the lady can
live in the far West and not suffer
with asthma. They plan on moving
to Seattle, Wash, within the next
month.
Mrs. Browns friends hope that
the climatic conditions of the west
ern country will restore the lady
to her usual good health.

Wise Policy to Give Strange Sales.
men Cold Shoulder-Patronize
Local Merchants

Every summer, following the
close of the Public schools and col
leges, a horde of young men in.
wade the center of population to
solicit subscriptions for magazines
on the pretense that they are
working their way through college
with the the commissions on the
subscriptions they receive.
During the past two weeks Sank
Centre has been invaded with a
gang of these solicitors. The door
bells of practically every residence
in the city has been rung several
times. After the lady of the house
has informed these pernicious So
licitors they were not interested
others have followed within a short
time offering the same proposition
as the predecessor.
In several of these cases the So
licitor has become insolent. In or
der to interest the prospect they
have not hesitated to missrepre-
sent.
Tuesday of this week a couple
of young men, Jimmy Wood, of
Sedalia, Mo-, and Jerry Crowley,
Wichita Falls, Tex, persistently
rang the door bells of Sank Centre
homes. They told the story that
they were sons of farmers living in
the territory adjacent to this city
and that they were soliciting sub
scriptions for magazine to help
them pay their expenses through
college.
When, the lady of the house in
formed them they were not in
terested they became insulting.
One lady, learning that she had
subscribed for a magazine under a
misrepresentation, swore out a
warrant charging Crowley with re-
ceiving money under false pretense.
Young Cook and Cowley were ap-
pretended, taken before Municipal
Judge r. R. Kells.

Litchfeld Golfers
a Trifle Too Strong
Take Sank Centre Into Camp on
Local Course Sunday by Three
Point Margin

In Sundays golf tournament with
Litchfield, H. A. Falk, Sank Gen.
tire, shot the first nine in par, 81.
He ran into trouble on the second
nine and finished with an 1S-hole
total of 80, very good golf on any
mans course.
Walter Moynihan, also of this
city, was as steady as a clock all
the way. He was tournament med
alist, with low score of 70.
The gang Litchfeld brought over
Sunday were the niftiest set of
Scotch game artists who have
played on the local course for
some time. They lost the first nine
holes usually, but came back
strong in the second round to eth
er tie or win by one up. The
Scotch Nassau system of counting
was used, maximum of three up
on Is holes.
The visitors took home the bacon
in an 11-team match by three
points. They are splendid sports

to be defeated by them.

1IaguSine Solicitors Insult W0men
In H0we--Zandm JuyeuiIe C0u,1

Both young men were under 10
years of age; they were bound over
to the Juvenile Court with a hear
ing set for Saturday morning, June
81, at st. Cloud. Meanwhile they
are languishing in the Sank Centre
Jail.
The parents of the young men
have been communicated with.
Late Wednesday wire was receiv-
ed from the mother of young Cook
asking for more information.
At this season of the year bell
ringers annoy the housewife daily,
offering merchandise of various
sorts. The merchandise they offer
is usually inferior to that supplied
by the local merchant. Through the
pressure salesman a higher price is
received.
The Herald editor has watched
these grafters for many years. Our
experience has taught us that it is
wise plan to give all solicitors a
cold shoulder. The merchandise Of
fered, whether brushes, subscrip-
tions, hosiery, or what not, can be
supplies by Sank Centre merchants
fully as cheaply as the merchandise
sold by the suave salesman who
disappears after he has collected
your money.
It is pretty safe proposition to
pass up the bellringer and spend
your money with the Sank Centre
merchant. If there is any dissat-
isfaction they will make good. If
the merchandise you buy from the
bellringer is not what you were
led to expect, well, you simply hold
the sack. There is no comeback.
Your home merchant always
treats you right because he desires
your patronage in the future.
The bellringer is not your friend,
whether he poses as young man
working his way through college,
is a grocery salesman, or what not.
Refuse to give the bellringer a
hearing and you will save money.
Your local merchant is your real
friend.
