BUY CHRISTMAS SEALS

The 18th annual edition of the little, yet
mighty tuberculosis Christmast Seal has
made it's appearance. From now until the
holiday season ends they will be sold here
there, and everywhere to raise funds for the
fight against tuberculosis.
Christmas Seals as holiday tokens are
attractive in themselves, but their special
claim as symbols of the season is found in the
work they do in battling disease. Upon their
sale depends the continuance of the efforts tc
stamp out the disease. Upon their sale de-
ponds the extension of Mantoux tuberculin
skin testing, by which more than $4,000 Min
nesota school children were examined during
the past year and thus saving hundreds OF
our children from the clutches of the white
plague. Upon their sale depends the work of
nurses, clinicians, children's preventoria and
fresh air camps, health inspection of school
children, infant and child welfare, and other
important public health work which has serv-
ed to reduce the tuberculosis death rate in
Minnesota from 104.93 per 100000 persons
to 48.48 during the past rs years.
Deaths from tuberculosis have been
more than half during the quarter century
that Christmas Seals have been at work. But
will this continue? 1t is only by unremitting
vigilance and persistent effort that the
ground that has been gained already can be
held Unemployment and the conditions ne
cessitated by it are opening up new avenues
for the spread of tuberculosis which can be
blocked only by additional effort on the part
of every citizen, Self protection as well as
an humanitarian impulse prompts a more
generous purchase of the penny tuberculosis
seal this year than ever before
Buy double-barred cross seals generously
and use them on every piece of holiday mail

THE WORLD TODAY

CHINA'S GREAT WALL.
CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
TWO OFFHAND KILLINGS.
WORRY is NECESSARY.

Los AngelesImagnation is stimulated BY the
story of chinese-Japanese fighting "at the point
where the Great Wall of China runs down to thu

Those ancients that built the Great Wall could
not imagine flying machines that would roar above
it. They thought they had forever shut out attack
by barbarian hordes.
Impossible for us to imagine how little the walls
that we build of finance, industry law and property
protection will amount to few centuries hence.
That japanese one day would fly the Great
Wall did not to the Chinese that built it.. That
property one day will not be the most important
thing in the world. or at all important, cannot be
imagined by those that build laws to protect it and
keep out the hungry and dissatisfied.
there plenty of both for everybody The day il
coming when nobody will quarrel about property OF
take any special interest in it. There will be enough
for everybody-enough food good books music and
leisure the only things really important.
Today men accumulate money wear themselves
out and lose their characters doing 1t, the tumble
bug exhausts his energies storing treasures in his
storehouse. Men will not be tumblebugs forever.
That is something to be thankful for.
The change win come when the intelligence of
and their science are devoted to providing
enough for everybody instead Of too much for few.

SIXTH DISTRICT CONGRESSMAN BACK.
SLIDES AS A PROGRESSIVE

The Herald editor week or two ago had
occasion to call attention to the inconsistency
of the congressman from this district.
For the past several weeks there was a
fierce fight on among the Republican men,
bers of the Lower House of Representatives
to select man for the party's floor leader.
In recent weeks the Congressman from
this district has given out laborious inter-
prints in which he voiced opinions that out
progressed the most ardent progressive in
in either branch of Congress.
In its editorial of a couple of weeks ago
the Herald voiced the opinion that these in
terviews were mere plays to the gallery and
were particularly for home consumption.
AS a gesture the Minnesota delegation
stood back of Frank Clague of the Second
district, at the Republican caucus Monday
and gave him a complimentary vote for
House leader.
At all times during the contest and in
the caucus there were two outstanding can
didates in the leadership fight. Congress
man Tillson, of Connecticut, conservatism of
the most stringent type, and Congressman
Smell, of Illinois, a Progressive of the Middle
West. When the Minnesota delegation was
released from Mr.. Clague, Congressman
Knutson was the only Minnesota member to
cast his ballot for Congressman Tillson Mr..
Smell was Endorsed and will become the party
leader. He has the united support of the
Minnesota delegation save and except the
Congressman from this district.
Mr. Tflson is very able man but OPP
posed to everything progressive. Yet Knut-
son supported him as against Progressive.
The thought the Herald is trying to bring
out is that Knutson's Progressive outbursts
in recent weeks are, in the last analysis, just
lot of "whoey"

will handle the All Club work in conjunc-
ton with his other duties.
For the last several years the Herald has
taken an active part in raising the funds to
carry on the All Club work in the county.
The Herald is opposed to the Farm Bur-
eau plan.
This opposition is based very largely on
the fact that, because of the size and popu-
lation of the county, it will be physical i'm
possibility for one man to successfully handle
the Farm Bureau program alone much less
attempting to carry the All Club work with
it.
This paper is not opposed to the Farm
Bureau work. For several years county
agent was maintained in Stearns county. He
was located at Melrose, and in the opinion of
this newspaper was a conscientious and COM
petent worker. There was much criticism OF
his work, the allegation being made that he
only visited certain sections of the county.
This charge was probably true, but there are
only "a hours in day and six working days
each week.
In some of the smaller counties in the
Southern part of the State consisting of II or
16 townships it might be possible for the
county agent to handle the All Club work in
conjunction with his other duties.
The people of Stearns county are pretty
generally sold on the idea of developing the
All Club movement. Increasing numbers of
boys and girls are taking up the work an
nually. 1t is, after all the one big, construc-
tive thing being done for the boy and girl on
the farm.
The Herald urges the All Club Council
to not ham-string the movement by turning
over it's funds to an agency, who, however
dependable, cannot handle it successfully.
The Council has done splendid work
in the past and they owe it to the boys and
girls of Old Stearns to "carry on"

Beverly Hills.-Well all know is
just what I read in the papers, or
what I see from hither to yon. A
few weeks ago I was coming out of
Mexico, and stopped over at San
Antonio to broadcast on the Rock
ne Memorial programme, and the
next day I went out to the King
Ranch and Kingsville, Tex. OF
course you could write whole Mag
azine Stories, in fact books on the
King Ranch, in fact it has been
done. But am going to leave that
for awhile, till I am able to get
over more Of it. It's just the
biggest ranch we have in our land.
Been in this same family for years,
and they are real ranch folks.
Old Paddy Mayes, the old Cher
okee boy from Pryor Creek, Okla,,
he had been sent up to the Big
League, he had been UP there a few
weeks when run onto him in Chi
cago, he was with the Philly Ma
tionals. I met him and asked MIN
how it was going with him in the
Big League, he said, well all my
life have always heard of the Big
Leagues, and heard so much about
how they play ball, and how good
they were. Well have been up
here just two weeks. Well they
wasent over-estimated any," Well
that's the way with the ropers on
the King Ranch, they hadent been
overestimated any.
Now had just seen some mighty
good roping. I had just come out
of Mexico where they had given
me a special exhibition. They have
a great thing there its called the
Charro Club. Charro means Cow
punchers. Well they have a reg
ular place. like a big corral, and
smaller ones, and all, and some
good wild cattle, and all the fellows
in the City of Mexico that used to
be cowboys, and lots of them that
are yet, why they all belong, and
on Sundays they go there and have
these Mexican cowboy sports, like
"tailing the Bull" that's one we
don't do up here. Well the old tim
ers here they say used to. You run
up on a fast pony, grab the steer
by the tail, get good hold, then
throw your leg, (which is still in the
stirrup) throw it over the til. Then
turn your horse to the left, and If
you 40 it right you turn the old
critter tail in front Of head. You
don't tip him an exact somersault
its kind of side twister, but he
slides along looking back where he
come from. Well they had some
fine reping there, mostly fancy, as
the Mexicans are the real original
ors, and the best in the world as
ropers.
But its Of the actual work that ]
want to tell you of on the King
Ranch. We flew down here from
San Antonio, me with Mr.. Jack

FIVE YEARS IN RETROSPECT

Dec. 1, 1926 the Sank Centre Herald
passed into the ownership and management
of the Sank Centre Publishers, Inc, with
Asa M. Wallace, NJ J. Fleming and Ed L.
Rattle owning all of the stock.
At that time publication of the Sank
Centre News was merged with the Herald.
With this issue the Sank Centre Herald, con-
tinuing the Sank Centre News, starts the
sixth year of publication under the present
ownership.
When the corporation was formed there
was paramount idea that an attempt should
be made at all times to make the Herald
thoroughly representative community news
paper Immediately after the consolidation
the Herald was enlarged from 6-column
eight page to a seven column eight page
newspaper Without undue egotism as the
past five years is viewed in retrospect the
editor believes that the Herald ranks with
the better class community newspapers of the
state.
Since 1926 the building. has been en-
larged, an additional typesetting machine has
been added in January 1881, one of the
largest, most modern newspaper presses to
be found in any community newspaper office
in the state was added to the equipment 9th
er pieces of machinery and type equipment
have been replaced with more modern ma
chinery The investment at this time is very
heavy but the publishers have confidence
that their faith will be justified.
March 1, 1881, the Herald was again en-
larged to an 8-column eight page newspaper
to make room for the large amount of news
furnished each week by a loyal and COM
petent corps of country correspondents.
A year ago drive for subscriptions was
made at heavy expense. The thought which
actuated this drive was to furnish the adver-
tiser with complete coverage of this trade
area The outcome of this campaign exceed
ed the publishers fondest hopes. 1t can be
safely said that no community newspaper
published in Minnesota has more complete
territory subscription coverage than has the
Herald
This campaign opened up large new
territory for Sank Centre. If the business
men will take advantage of this splendid list
the people of western Stearns and adjacent
counties can become Sank Centre conscious
to greater degree than ever before.
For the future no extravagant promises
will be made. The publishers are selfishly
interested in the development and perpetual
ton of this community. Certainly the Herald
will be kept upon the highest plane of which
the publishers are capable of maintaining it.
The cooperation of all the people of the
community is asked at all times that the Her
aid may be made better and more represen-
tattve community newspaper each week.
