HARRISBURG, Pa, April 20. -
This city, the state capital of Penn
sylyania, has been turned into an
armed camp as hundreds of hunger
marchers approach it from both
sides. State troopers fill the streets,
and the roads around are under close
watch.
Nevertheless, over 200 hunger
marchers coming from the eastern
end of the state and about the same
number from the coal fields and steel
mills of the western end will meet
here and tomorrow at II a. m. and
will lead big demonstration before
the state capital
They will elect committee to send
in to the reputed liberal" governor
Pinchot, who won his Office on
pledge to take care of the unemploy-
ed, and who, instead, mobihzes his
state police against them.
The whole hunger march and its
demands will be further backed UP
by great demonstrations in all Penn
sylvania cities on May First, intcrna-
tional labor day and international
day to demand unemployment relief.
The hunger marchers rally the
masses in all the towns they pass
through for the May Day demonstra-
tons, and point out that these DEM
onstrations are to support the de-
mands which the marchers present.
Million Jsbless.
The committee of the hunger
narchers will tomorrow notify the
state government that there are l.
100000 out of work in PENNSYLVANIA,
that eWctions are going on whole
sale, that hundreds of thousands of
miners and others work only from
one to three days a week, that the
cities do little or nothing to feed
the starving. They will point out
that in contradiction to the prom
iSes made by Governor Pinchot when
he wanted these jobless to vote for,
him, not one cent has been approp-
rated by the state to relieve the
misery Of those without work, while
s2,5ooo,ooo is being used for military
affairs. For six portraits of state
functionaries $4,000 is being spent.
The hunger marchers demand all
such funds for the starving.
The demonstrations held in each
town the marchers go through. and
the one IL Harrisburg tomorrow de-
noupces the terror of the coal and
iron police, the Pinchot demagogy,
the arrest of TUUL representative
Everett in Harrisburg, the legal
lynching Of nine Negro young work
ers in Alabama, and call for with
drawal of U S troops from Nicara-
qua.

The annual Spring concert given

of these concerts increasingly en-
joyable as the efficiency of the or

Miss Nora Rain, head Of the
musical department of the Brooten
Public schools, accompanied by
Miss Doris Imsdahl, also of Broo-
ten, favored the audience with two
very difficult and beautiful cello
solos. Miss Rain is a rare artist.
The trombone solo by Clifford
Domke and Robert Vandesteeg,
was difficult, but rendered in per-
feet harmony and wonderful tech

Harold Rogers and Robert Gritz-

Game Warden Mossman received
a call from Melrose Tuesday eve
ming stating that the dam at the
lower end of Little Birch Lake had
washed out and that imn ediate &C
ton was necessary to prevent the
flooding of land near Sylvia Lake.
Mr.. Mossman motored to the dam

north bank on the outside of the
abutment had washed out and that
the water was leaving the lake at
terrific speed. A temporary OBJ

sometime ago at the request of the
Sportsmen's Club at Melrose and its
purpose is to keep up the level Of

several years the drainage from
Little Birch Lake through Adley
Creek has been too great and as a
result both Big and Little Birch
Lakes reached very low water lew

Helics Monday Morning

Do you remember way back
yonder," 40 years or so ago,
when the latest approved style
in mouse traps was a nifty af-
fair with runway to the
cheese at the top? The weight
of the mouse automatically
closed the door and the only
exit was through a side door
exit which led into a compart-
ment where Mr.. Mouse remain
ed until taken out.
The first part of this week
VIM. Wruck, employed at the
Wedge Hardware on Third
street, was cleaning out some
of the rubbish which had &C
cumulated on the second floor
from the time that memory of
man does not click. During
this half centennial cleanup he
discovered one of these traps.
1t contained about dozef
skeletons of mice who had been
captured and literally starved
to death.
The woodwork of the trap in
Dictated that the mice had made
unsuccessful strenuous efforts
to dig their way out with their
teeth. Otherwise the trap was
in a good state Of preservation.
The printed matter on the side
of the trap showed that it
was patented in 1868.
One would conclude that as
really particular housekeepers

At the regular monthly meeting
of the Sank Centre Community
Club held Thursday evening there
was a gratifying attendance. Pres
ident w. M. Parker presided.
After the reading of the minutes
of the previous meeting the Presi-
dent asked for a report of the leg

Bots stated that the Truck Bill
which the Club had gone on record
in opposition had passed the Leg
islature in its dying hours but that
there was hope that the Governor
would veto the bill.
Chairman Fay Cooper, of the
Band committee, reported that the
city council had made necessary ap-
preparation for the erection Of q
band shell in the city park and that
it would be ready for the early out
door evening concerts.
Chairman j. B. Schoenhoff, of
the membership committee, report
ed that there were SO paid up mem
bers exclusive of the members of

who automatically become members
of the Club.
Chairman Of the Highway Com
mittee Asa M. Wallace, and w. M.
Parker reported on meetings held
in this city and at Park Rapids to
combat the proposed change Of
routing Federal Highway No. II.
President Parker then called up
the matter of proposed pageant
celebrating the 18th anniversary
of the organization of Stearns
county. Letters were read from
several towns speaking very highly
Of the company handling these pa
triotic Pageants. The president
asked for the opinion Of those as
sembled. The prevailing idea ap-
peared to be that the Pageant
would be a good thing in ordinary
years but because of the depression
at this time it was thought best
not to attempt the pageant this
year. On motion the plan was
abandoned.
A resolution was passed pledging
the Junior Chamber of Commerce,
of st. Cloud, loyal support of the
Diamond Anniversary Pageant of
st. Cloud to be staged in the Arm
DRY of the Granite City in July.
The question of closing places of
business on Decoration Day was
brought up. In view of the fact
that Decoration Day falls on Sat-
urday this year it was voted to re-
quest the business men to keep
their places Of business closed Dec
Grafton day until 1900 o'clock noon.
The program will be over and out
of the way by that time.

by Mr.. Wallace and Mr.. Parker at

Local Young Man
Marine Sergeant
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller VisitingRela-
tives-Has Seen Much Of
the World

Sgt. and Mrs. John A. Miller, ar
rived from Philadelphia, Pa, sever
al weeks ago. During this time
they have visited in Minneapolis,
Sank Centre, Park Rapids, Hibbing
and Duluth. They are full of praise
about the beauty of Northern Min
nesota with it's boundless lakes and
rivers.
Sgt. Miller is a home boy, having
been raised in the vicinity of Sank
Centre and attending local schools.
He is the son Of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. John B. Miller who were pio-
neers in this vicinity.
Sgt. Miller is an enlisted man in
the United States Marines. He is
now in charge Of the Clerical school
at the Marine Barracks, Navy Yard,
Philadelphia, Pa. The school is
maintained for the benefit of the
enlisted men of the Marine Corps.
A free education in Gregg Short
hand and touch typewriting, Eng
lish and general Marine Corps
Clerical work is assured those who
have the ambition to master 1t.
During the World War Sgt. Mill
.er was a volunteer in the United
States Navy. He served at sea dur
ing the entire war and in the spring
of 1919 made a trip to Archangel,
Russia, to quell a mutiny of United
States soldiers stationed there at
that time.
The idea of seeing the world
through a port hole did not appeal
greatly to him and on re-enlisting
he joined the Marine Corps. During
the seven years in the Corps he
has served in the tropics and in the
far East.
Sandino's exploits in Nicaragua
merely get a shrug from the Ser
geant. He knows that If the Devil
Dogs" were given a free hand,
there would be no SANDING to wor-
ny about.
Sgt. and Mrs. Miller viii return

ter visiting friends In Minneapolis,
