sion Will Release $4,000
for General Fund

The taxes for the City of Sank
Centre, real and personal, will be
reduced approximately 20 per cent
in 1882, bringing the total levy,
state, county, municipal and school
down to approximately 10 mills.
This reduction will be made pos
sible by the turning over to the
city the sum Of $4,000 from the
earnings Of the light and power
distribution plant handled by the
Water Light and Power Commits
sion consisting of George O'Gara
president; DR.. II. r. Hennemann,
and DR.. A. F. Moynihan.
The city purchased the lighting
plant about 1917. At that time q
bond issue of $4,000 was levied.
With the adoption Of the new city
charter the management of the
property was turned over to the
organized water, light and power
commission. The charter wisely
provides for the appointment Of
the commissioners, one each year,
by the three district judges Of this
judicial district, eliminating this
very important board from petty
municipal politics.

ALI Members To
Be Active at Fair
TOO Boys and Girls Are Preparing
Projects for Exhibition
Purposes

There are seven-hundred club
members in Stearns County get
ting ready for the Stearns county
fair. Each one is bringing his or
her project record up to date and
will plan to have it completed and
sent to the county club leader by
the twenty-fourth of this month.
The All members not only have to
try to make the best better as far
as making a cake goes or feeding
some animal for the fair, but each
one must keep an accurate BUSH
ness record Of their project show
ing the profit or loss that may
have occurred by doing so. This is
then taken into cosideration in
the selection of the final winner.
Each club is aiming to exhibit
100 percent at the County Fair.
The exhibit Of Home Economics,
Livestock and Crop projects will
be a small fair complete in itself.
Again this year the annual All
club camp will be in connection
with the fair. Here, for small
sum, each one of the boys and
girls are able to eat and sleep at
the camp and enjoy themselves.
The camp will at al times be under
the supervision Of staff Of adult
leaders trained in this line Of
work. Two hundred or more boys
and girls are expected to attend
the camp during the fair.
Perhaps the big climax Of fun
will be the kitten ball games played
on Saturday and Sunday to deter
mine the champion kitten ball
team of all the All clubs Of
teams are expected to play for the
finals with a few more entries ex-
pected in the next few days.
Thursday, the first day Of the
fair, will be entry day. The en-
tries Of each department will be in
charge Of junior leaders who will
also assist wherever possible in
the All departments throughout
the fair.
It is not the intention Of the All
members Of Stearns County to ex-
hibit at the county fair for person
al gain, but each and everyone
hopes by his or her participation
that he will be doing his bit to-
ward selling the merits Of the All
to others Of their country.

they met a stronger Sank Centre
team, an aggregation which out
played them from the start. Sol
tau's superb pitching again helped
the locals to win. and although Red
Thompson, Of the visiting team,
only allowed four hits, yet he was
working against the weakest team

ted that the locals are much strong

the second, fourth, fifth and sixth
frames without threat to score.
In the seventh they had a man on
by virtue Of a hit, but he was
caught trying to get to second. An
other hit followed, but Soltau
struck the next man out.
In the eighth two men were out,
Welz, Of Melrose, hit q hard one to
right center. which Charlie Klar
speared with q difficult running
back hand catch. This was also a
spectacular play of the game, and
1t robbed Welz Of a nice two Dagger.
The ninth inning resulted In score
for the visitors, although three
men had been called out when the
winning run was made as explain
ed in the first paragraph.
Sank Centre made two runs in
the sixth inning, when Soltau drove
out a single, Courtney struck out,
Klar socked the ball for two bags
scoring Soltau. Paul was safe on
an error at left field and Klar scor-
ed on the play. Hopkins received
a life on blocked ball, and Paul
was out at third when Olsen hit
a grounder to short.
In the eighth inning the locals
added another counter. Klar was
hit by a pitched ball and was caught
Off first when the catcher placed the
throw there. Iwinski famed. Of
to Paul was given a base on balls,
went to second on a balk by Thomp-
