Com. Club to
Raise Funds
For Needy
Committee Will Work With
School Nurse to Ascertain
Riddles Needs
BENEFIT BANQUET
Nov. II is the Tentative Date
Odd Jobs Employment
Committee

At meeting of the Sank Centre
Community Club held Thursday
evening the question of assisting
the needy through the long winter
ahead was discussed at some length.
The unanimous sentiment ex-
pressed was that Sank Centre
should make arrangements to care
for her own during the trying per-
iod. 1t was brought out that chill
dren attending the schools even
at this time were inadequately
clad. The women of the city suffer-
ing for the necessities must also
be looked after.
Itwas finally decided that a COM
mittee to work with Supt Kohls and
the school nurse, should be ap-
pointed. President w. M. Parker
named ]. F. Cooper, H. F. Schmidt
and Robert Schwalen to head a
committee, to carry on this import
ant work. The support Of all more
fortunate citizens is requested and
expected.
AS a means of securing some
quick and ready money to start this
important work a benefit banquet
will be held. A contingent date of
Nov. IL has been set for this &C.
casion.
The details have not yet been
worked out. The Herald hopes
next week to give the public the
fun details Of the banquet pro-
gram.
In the connection Of caring for
the needy women and children the
suggestion has been made to the
Herald that an organized effort be
made to furnish the unemployed
with the odd jobs available. The
Herald is convinced that wen or
ganized movement of this sort
would do much to relieve the situa-
ton. A patriotic and dependable
citizen with a centrally located Of
flee could be named to handle this
work. There are many heads of
families who will be anxious to get
a few hours or a few days work
in an effort to keep the family
larder stocked with life's necessi-
ties. There are many people en-
ploying men about their premises
who have been faithful in the past
but who, because of the present ex-
igencies would not be greatly incon-
venienced If this work was trans
ferred to some less fortunate indi-
yidual. Under the odd Job plan the
work could be distributed as equit-
ABLY as possible with the needs OF
each individual taken into consid-
Grafton.
It is understood that the Legion
have an emplovroent committee but
this paper has been assured that
the Service men will lend a CITY,
wide committee every cooperation
and assistance.
In the rast Sank Centre has aris-
en- to every emergency. The fair
name of this city must and will be
maintained.

Bovine T. B. Test
Reduces Cripples
Children have Been Greatly Ben
efitted by Testing Plan Back
ed by State

st. Paul Oct. 26-where are the
hunchbacks, the twisted spines
amony little children, that appear
ed SO frequently in the pictures
and the stories of the last CEN
fury?
"They have almost disappeared"
says today's bulletin from the Edu-
cation Committee Of the Mime
sofa State Medical Association,
"and for this blessing we have to
thank not the physicians, but the
veterinarians who have pushed
their program of tuberculin test
ing Of cattle and the milk dealers
who pasteurize their milk.
"Tuberculois Of the bones and
joints and Of the lymph nodes at
the side Of the neck is nearly al
ways Of bovine origin" says the
bulletin. That is, it has come
through milk from tuberculous
cow. Twenty years ago the hos
pitfalls for crippled children were
a characteristic manifestation Of
this bovine infection. Now the
number Of these children has
dropped to a minimum.
~ some places where veter-
inarfans have brought about an al
most complete control Of tuber-
culosis among cattle through the
tuberculin test not enough cases of
the characteristic bovine infec-
ton appear to teach medical stu
dents and nurses what they should
know about the disease.
The recent trouble in Iowa, be-
tween a group of farmers and the
State Veterinarians was laid to a
mischievous, uniformed propa-
ganda against which farmers
everywhere should be on their
guard, say these Minnesota ply
sicians.
In the important question of
cattle testing" says the bulletin,
the testimony Of the stock and We
Urinary experts Of the University
Agricultural College as we'll as of
medical experts should be weighed
with the irresponsible statements
OF fanatics. To abandon cattle test
ing, now would be to slip back
twenty-five years in the control of
human suffering and disease"

One Woman,
= Men Lose
Lives in Fire
Insane Lover Pays Hireling
to Set Fire to Chicago
Apartment House
LOCAL MAN A VICTIM
G. Frenzen, Nephew of A.
Myerton, Dies of Injuries
Parents in Sweden

night in Chicago.
Gideon Frenzen, who came to
Sank Centre from Sweden about
ten years ago, and who made his
home with his uncle and aunt, Mr..
and Mrs. Axel Meyerton and attend
ed public school here, was an in
nocent victim Of jealous fury. A
young lady, who was rooming at
the apartment house had Tilted her
lover. In a jealous fit of anger he
employed a man for two dollars to
set fire to the building. Gideon and
his roommate and the young lady
were burned SO badly that all sue
cumbed within a few days.
When the young men were awak-
ened they found the building in
flames and all avenues of escape
cut off. They were finally forced to
jump from a three story building
into a net, but at that time the
ravages of the fire had taken their
toll.
The young man was taken to a
hospital where he lived until Mon
day morning at four o'clock. Mr..
Meyerton went to Chicago immed-
lately and remained to attend the
funeral service which was held
Wednesday. The remains were laid
at rest in Chicago.
Gideon lived with Mr.. and Mrs.
Meyerton in this city until they
moved to Minneapolis, when he &C
companied them. He remained
with them until year ago when
he left for Chicago. He was about
rs years old. His parents reside in
Sweden.

Dedicate Bridge
to Robert Dunn
Princeton Lawmaker and Editor
HOnored As Author of
Good Roads Plan

The Robert c. Dunn Memorial
Bridge, on trunk highway No. 18 at
Princeton, will be dedicated with
appropriate ceremonies Thursday,
Oct. %. The brige, a concrete
arch structure, carries bronze tab
let with the inscription, "Dedicat-
ed to the Memory Of Robert c.
Dunn, 1S55-191S, the Father of
Good Roads,"
Mr.. Dunn is best known as au-
thor of the constitutional amend
ment known as the Dunn amend
ment, but this was only one event
in a long career of activity in the
cause of good roads. The files of
the Princeton Union reveal his in
terest in road improvements from
the time he became its editor.
Mr. Dunn was member of the
legislature in 1889 and 1893 and
state auditor from 1895 to 1908. In
1910, in an address before the Min
nesota Editorial Association, he
launched a campaign for a constitu-
tional amendment providing a
statewide one mill tax to aid in
road development. Re-entering the
Legislature in 1911, he obtained
passage of bill proposing such an
amendment and he conducted a
successful campaign for its adop-
ton by the people in 1912. In the
session Of 1913 he was the author
of bill to put the new amendment
into effect, as well as codifying
and undermining the road laws Of
the state. He served as state SEN
ator in 1915 and 1917. In the latter
year he was author Of the bill
changing the state highway depart
ment from a three man board to
one commissioner.
I Roads improved with state aid
after the adoption of the one mill
tax plan in 1912, were the founda-
ton for the trunk highway Great
ed in 1920. The Dunn amendment
was not changed by the trunk high
way amendment, but since that
time the state aid fund has been
used on secondary roads. Legisla-
ton fathered by Mr.. Dunn there
fore has been responsible for speed
ing up the Improvement Of both
primary and secondary roads in
Minnesota.

Youth Shot in
Hunting Mishap
ROYAL lockwood, of Cushing, Re-
ceives Serious Wound At Big
Rice Lake

ROYAL lockwood, of Gushing, re-
seived q serious wound in his LETT
thigh Sunday noon while hunting
at Big Rice Lake in Turtle Creek
township. In company with Curtis
Johnson, also of Gushing, the
morning had been spent on the
lake with indifferent success. At
noon the two young men decided
to return to Turmborn's landing
for lunch. At about the time they
reached the landing they sighted a
duck. George Turmborn was also
in the vicinity.
Mr.. lockwood stood up in the
boat and Curtis reached for his gum
In some manner the weapon was
accidentally discharged, the shot
striking Redwood in the left
thigh. He was taken to the Van
Valkenburg hospital by Mr.. Turn
born where the wound was dressed
and unless complications set in he
will soon be on the road to COM
plete recovery.
Mr.. johnson, according to Royal
was using a double barrel shot gun.
Due to some mechanical fault he
was unable to use the right barrel.
Redwood stated that something
was wrong with the safety catch
of the left barrel and it may be
that the catch released at the time
he picked up the gun with the al,
ready mentioned results. Rock
wood stated that he attaches no
blame to johnson in the matter
and dismissed the accident as one
of those thing which just seem to
happen. Both young men are of
the opinion that the accident could
easily have been more serious and
are happy that such was not the
case. Reports following the acct
dent were that lockwood had
been killed and Coroner Fred
Soule was summoned to the scene,
pleased to find that the report was
not true.
1t was the second major hunting
accident of the season in. this
county, Theodore Kulavik, Iona
