Cemetery

The grave Of DR.. B. r. Palmer,
Civil War veteran and the friend
in need of this community when
this section of Minnesota was in
the making, is in lonely spot in
Oakland cemetery, east of this
city.
Some months ago Sank Centre
Chapter, Daughters of the Ameri-

funds for suitable monument to
mark the grave Of this very distin-
guished citizen.
The doctor located in Sank Gen.
tire very shortly after the close of
the Civil War. He was active in
the organization of the Grand
Army Post in this city. In recog-
milton of his splendid citizenship
the post was named after him.
In raising the funds for the
monument the D. A. r. ladies have
had the hearty cooperation of the
w. r. c., of tht B. r. Palmer Post
and many individual citizens.
The monument is of granite,
standing three and one-half feet
high, two feet wide and one and
one-half foot thick. On the face
of the stone has been placed the fol-
lowing inscription on bronze tab
let:
So rare was his skill and so
great his devotion to the duties
placed upon him, that his name
has a permanent place in the
annals of the community he
helped to build.
The monument will be unveiled
with suitable services at the ceme-
terry Sunday, Sept. ~, at 800 P. M.
The D. A. r. ladies have arranged
the following program for the
event:
Music by Sank Centre Boys band.
Salute to the flag.

ton to go into the permanent up
keep fund.

Commerce Dept.
Assists Business
Donald X. Wallace, Government
Business Specialist, Visits Rel
atives In This City

Donald K. Wallace, business spec
ialist Of the United States Depart
ment Of Commerce, spent Tuesday
evening in Sank Centre, guests of
his uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
Asa M. Wallace.
The young man took the Civil
Service examination and entered
the employ of the government from
his North Dakota home eight years
ago. He was assigned to the Navy
department in clerical position.
He soon discovered there vas no
future there and he began an ex-
tensive study to enter the Depart
ment Of Commerce. He passed the
examination and was assigned to
this department about four years
ago. His work has taken ilim in
the past to every important city in
the United States.
Thursday Of last week he left
Washington on 10000 mile trip by
auto which will take him to - cit
les located, collectively, in every
state in the Union. He will make
a nationwide survey to help solve
the problems of the blue print and
related industries. which includes
the manufacture and marketing Of
blue prints, photocopies and related
lines. 90
1.-THE survey of blue print and
allied industries is in line with the
general program of waste elimina-
ton begun by the Commerce De-
partment several years ago." Donald
said. while American production
methods lead the world in effic-
iency, waste in the distribution
methods is ESTIMATED to cost this
country $4,000, 900 annually"
The survey of blue print and al
lied industries was undertaken at
the request Of the International As
ISOLATION of Blue Print and Allied
Industries. This organization is
giving cooperation and financial
support to match the technical as
sistance furnished by the govern
ment.
A preliminary study recently COM
pleted by the Department Of Com
merce in the field disclosed large
losses to the industry through an
inadequate control of small orders
and related expenses. The present
work is expected to give the indus
try other clues to considerable saw
lngs.
Travelling on schedule it will take
the young man 5h months TO COM
plete the work.
Last week he completed the sur
vey Of the. New England states Tor
another industry. He stated TO
the Herald editor Tuesday evening
that his contact with the business
heads convinced him that business
was on the upward trend as the
manufacturer stated in every IN
stance there were twice as many IN
quiries and orders now than at
the same time last year.

Fine Program for
Lovers Of Music
Sank Centre People Have Oppor-
tunity to Become Members of
st. Cloud Organization ~

The music lovers of st. Cloud,
have started a very meritorous
movement by the organization Of
the "St. Cloud Civic Music Associ-
alton" H. c. Erwin is president;
DIR. VIM. +. Rumpf, vice presi-
dent and VIM. s. Weber secretary.
This week a campaign is being
made for the purpose Of securing
members. Yesterday afternoon Mr..
Erwin, DR.. Rumpf and Mr.. Manual
visited Sank Centre for the pur-
pose Of giving the music lovers Of
this city an opportunity to become
charter members of the organiza-
ton. The goal is set at 500 mem
bers each paying $500. If this
number can be secured the men,
bers will receive not less than
three high grade concerts to be
held in the Granite City this year.
They have a selection of more
than 200 artists to select from.
w. M. Parker has been named
as the director for Sank Centre. A
meeting was held at the Commun-
ity Club with few of the music
lovers Of the city Wednesday at.
ternoon. Because Of the hurried
manner in which the gathering
was called the attendance was
very small. Those present became
very enthusiastic when the plan
was explained to them. The idea of
having the best artists Of the
country brought almost to their
door at price within the reach
Of all is gratifying.
The st. Cloud organization is a
part Of nationally organized body.
A ticket-holder in the organization
can attend any concert held In
any city where he or she happens
to be on the evening Of the con-
cert.
Sank Centre has many lovers OF
real music and this opportunity to
become affiliated with the st.
Cloud Music Association will, no
doubt, appeal to them.

Inspected by
RadioExpert
Raymond Bergman Made Test
of Sank Centre Electric
Light System
HE KNOWS HIS STUFF
Most Interference Troubles
Are Minor-O Organization
of Club Suggested

The radio owners of this city
have long been annoyed by foreign
conditions which has greatly inter-
ferred with proper reception.
Some of this trouble has been laid
to the high lines owned by the city.
The Sank Centre Light and Pow
er Commission took up this mat
ter with Wheelock Whitney, man.
ager Of the Northern States Power
Company at st. Cloud. The COM
pany, without cost, sent Raymond
Bergman to this city to make
thorough test of conditions. Mr..
Borgmann became interested in
radios long before anyone else in
this city. He has been employed
by the Northern States Power Com
pany as radio expert for some
time and is rendering very efficient
service.
Mr.. Borgmann made a thorough
investigation of the high and distri-
button lines in Sank Centre. After a
two days survey Mr.. Bergman re-
ported to Manager John McGibbon,
of the Light and Power Commits
sion, that in the entire distribution
system Of the city he only found
five minor defec,s. He reported
that this city's distribution system
contained fewer defects by far than
any of the systems he had tested
out, and congratulated Mr.. McGib-
bon on the condition of the Sank
Centre distribution system. The en-
tire system was entirely overhauled
last winter.
Mr.. McGibbon asks the Herald to
express the appreciation Of the
Light and Power Commission and
the radio owners Of the city for the
very comprehensive survey made by
Mr.. Borgmann.
There are more trees in this city
than in any town where Mr.. Borg
mann has investigated the distribu-
ton system. In many instances the
light and power wires run through
the tops of the trees. The swaying
of the branches Of the trees caused
81, VIVA Sssss n short time wear
off the insulation Of the wires-a
real radio interference maker. The
Light and Power commission could
trim the trees but they ~o~iI cut
out the part Of the top making
trouble spelling the beauty OF the
trees If the trees were trimmed
\ symetricaIly the trouble could be
avoided and the beauty maintained
He found there were about so trees
in the city needing trimming treat
ment.
Many of the electrical appliances
in the home or office can be fixed
at a very small expense to elm
mate all radio interference
These same appliances built to day
have these filtering wires Install
ed by the manufacturers. OF couse
one Of the serious causes Of radio
interference by static is atmos-
pheric conditions. To date nothing
has been devised to handle this
situation.
Several cities have in their sec
ton Radio Clubs cooperating with
light plants and electrical users
to reduce the chance Of radio in
reference to the lowest possible
minimum. The Herald suggests
that such a Club be organized in
this city. Many people are causing
interference at the present time
who are not aware Of it. Most Of
them would be glad to cooperate
with their neighbors 1t their atten-
ton were called to the reason for
the disturbance.

u
1t has been the policy of the CT
ficers of the Association to bear the
burden of the loss and pay all prem
iums in full each year. Patriotic
business men have signed notes
from one thousand dollars up and
down to make these payments GER
tain. They are growing bit weary
of this practice and certainly they
cannot be blamed.
On page Is paragraph 20, Of the
General Rules and Regulations
published in the 1881 Fair Premium
List, can be found the following:
If the receipts should prove IN
sufficient to meet all demands, the
Society reserves the right to first
nav allbonafide expenses of the fair
and pay premiums with the bal
ance on hand.
The question of paying the prem
iums on a pro rata basis was dis
cussed very fully. The concensus
of opinion was that under the ex-
listing conditions the association
would be justified this year in pay
Ing Ln6 OAA q Se~~SAS ~ -
per cent of the amount awarded.
This will more than consume the
s1.7O0 supplied by the state for
premium purposes. There Will DC
a small deficit after all bills a1e
paid with this settlement but the as
ISOLATION must carry it. 1t was
voted to settle the premiums on
the basis of paying IS per cent OF
the amount awarded.
Many of the county fairs in the
state have in the past settled with
the exhibitors on this basis. Many
more on a prorata basis this year.
The concensus of opinion of the
officers and directors was that the
entire premium list must be revised
downward before the details OF
the 1882 fair are completed.

At a meeting of the officers and
directors of the Agricultural So
ciety of Stearns county held at the
Community Club rooms Tuesday
afternoon the receipts and disburse-
ments for the 1881 fair were lone
over.
While the expenses of this years
fair were cut to the bone, never
theless, the receipts were also less.
The receipts for the fair were
gate, S1,61528; grand stand, $204.-
IS; concessions, including 5000 re-
ceived from the John Francis Car
nival Co., approximately $470, max
ing grand total of $2,290.43.
More than 1890 entrants were
made in all departments of the
1881 fair. From an agricultural
and livestock display the 1881 fair
was the very best ever put on by
the association.
The dance floor which was built
in 1880 in the hope and expectation
it would be a moneymaker proved
a sad disappointment this year. The
dances throughout the season were
very competently handled by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce. The
Juniors were to receive SO per cent
of the net on all dances held be-
fore the fair. The Association was
to receive the entire sum earned
by the dances held the nights OF
the fair. The result shows de-
felt of $211 on prefair dances and
a loss of $73 on the fair dances.
There can not be any criticism Of
fered to the Junior Chamber for
the manner in which they conduct
ed the dances.
The State awards the accredited
county fairs sum not to exceed
$1,7OO for the payment of prem
iums. This years premiums
