Gopher Prairie I'll
Club Has Jolly FroHc
Annual Affair Held at Fairy Lake
Tuesday Was Big Success
Program of Sports

Tuesday found a large number of
pleasure seekers enjoying the pic
mic given by the Gopher Prairie
Club, Sank Centre.
At eleven o'clock the girls played
a swift and exciting game Of volley
ball but as to who won-no one
knows. The ball decided to take a
rest upon an oak tree ending our
game.
At noon all games were put
aside while we all satisfied our
enormous appetites.
At one the races began. The
babies raced, the children raced
and even the more feshy mothers.
Each baby was awarded a candy
bar but Mrs. G. Minette won first
place in the woman's race. Norbert
Botz with the aid of Alquna Brom-
enschenkel proved himself real
horseman in the mounted race. All
the races were run with zeal and
the winner had to be good.
A peanut scramble then attract
ed attention, but as to who got the
most no one knows We noticed
several bullying pockets.
After the races all adjourned to
the ice cream freezers to enjoy
their contents. Then all took to
the lake ito cool off. We wish to
express our appreciation to the
Sank Centre Herald for the five
gallons Of ice cream and the Red
Owl for the delicious candy bars

DISEASE AREA SPREADS
Bulletin and Treatment Rec
commended Published in
Full Herewith

III. L. Parten extension entomo-
logist of University Farm, arrived
In Sank Centre Thursday after
noon in response to a letter sent
to Dean Coffey asking what relief
could be given for an increasing
number of grasshoppers in the
Sauk Centre community which bid
fair to develop into scourage.
Upon his arrival in the city in
company with the Herald editor a
visit was made to the Lawrence
Herzog farm six miles east of the
city in Melrose township.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Her
zog had first discovered the hop
pers in large numbers on his farm
June the 18 when it was found
that a strip eight rods deep and
across his tobacco field had been
completely cleaned during the pre-
ceeding night. At the time also
the pests had entered a succotash
field near by and Mr.. Herzog
abandoned the planting of more to-
bacco and Immediately had the ten
acre tract converted into a corn
field.
When Mr.. Parten and the editor
arrived at the Herzog farm the
hoppers had left the tobacco and
the gentleman had resumed the
planting of tobacco. Mr.. Parten
discovered that the hoppers were in
the second molten stage and could
be exterminated with prompt &C.
ton, using theh treatment aid rec
commended by the Federal govern
ment and University Farm. II
they were allowed to develop into
the flying stage the treatment
would be ineffective.
Mr.. Herzog got busy at once and
he reported to the Herald editor
Monday afternoon that he had
met with considerable success fol-
lowing the formula recommended.
- Friday morning visit to the
farm Of r. G. Penrose, Birchdale
township, Todd county, showed
even a more serious situation
than at the Herzog farm. The pas
ture had been cleaned and the
hoppers had entered the fields.
Mr.. Penrose stated that many Of
his neighbors were nearly as badly
affected. Mr.. Penrose was given
the necessary instructions as to
the procedure, left literature and
Mr.. Parten recommended that he
get in touch with his neighbors at
once and start the war extermina-
ton. Tuesday Mr.. Penrose stated
to the Herald editor that they
could not afford to take time off
from their farm work to fight the
pests.
AS near as the Herald has been
able to ascertain the hoppers land
ed in this section n the fall of
1880. The eggs were laid on the
side of pasture hills.

tural Extension Division gives the

Jr. Chamber
OfCOnnerce
WillBeHosts
Arrange Very Fine Free En-
tertainment for Evening
of July Fourth
ICE CREAM FOR KIDDIES
Kitten Ball, Races, Music,
Fireworks and Dancing
Round Out Program

While Sank Centre will not cele-
brate the Fourth of July in form
al manner the Junior Chamber of
Commerce, with A. J. Weisner as
general chairman, have planned an
informal free program at the Fair
Grounds in this city in the evening
that should have strong appeal
to old and young.
The thought in mind with this
energetic civic organization is not
to make money, but rather to
bring the farmers and their famil-
les to the city for the evening and
to provide them with wholesome
entertainment.
In connection with this enter
tainment Mayor Sigurd Holme has
issued a proclamation, published
elsewhere, in which he requests
that all places of business be kept
closed all day of the Fourth, but
that they keep open Friday even
ing until 1000 o'clock to give the
farmers an opportunity to pur-
chase their supplies for over the
week end.
During the week a subscription
list has been circulated among the
business men for funds for fire.
works. The response has been
most liberal and the Junior officers
wish to take this method to ex-
press thir appreciation to the bus
mess men for their splendid CO.
operation.
As the farmers and their famil-
les and other youngsters enter the
gate all those under II years Of
age will be given tickets which en-
title them to free ice cream and
lemonade, generously furnished by
the Pioneer Ice Cream Company.
The program will start promptly
at $50 P. NJ, with a kitten ball
game between Mccormick Lake
and Kandota. The rivalry between
these teams is strong and the game
should furnish some good sport.
There will be a number of foot
races for prizes.
At eight o'clock the famous Sank
Centre Boys band will render
concert. At nine o'clock there will
be fine display of fire works.
There will be a dance at the OPP
en- air pavilion starting at 900
o'clock and lasting until midnight.
Music will be furnished by the ST.
Cloud Nightingales, a highly rec
commended musical organization.
Dance tickets will cost Is cents
each.
The only thought in the minds
of the Junior Chamber of Com
merce is to give the citizens Of
Sank Centre and the farmers Of
the adjacent territory a fine eve
ming of wholesome, patriotic sport.
Regardless of where you spend
your day July 4, enjoy your eve
ming at the Fair grounds, Sank
Centre.
Secretary McLain, of the Junior
Chamber, asks that all members of
the organization get in touch with
him as there will be work for all
of them.

Bad Collision
On Highway
Monday Eve.
Three Men Have Miraculous
Escape From Death-Wil-
lis Dahlem Injured
CHRYSLER IS WRECKED
1900 Pounds of Freight Was
Spilled Along the Highway
Without Damage

Monday evening about midnight
there was an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS col
lision on Highway No. 8, east Of
Sank Centre and about 1000 feet
west Of the Great Northern over
head crossing which landed the
six-wheel truck and trailer and
Chrysler sedan in the ditch, mir
aculously without death to the
driver Of the Raymond Brothers
truck or the two young men with
the car.
The facts Of the collision are
about as follows, as near as the
Herald has been able to ascertain:
Mr.. Kempton, the young rector of
the Good Samaritan Episcopal
church, accompanied by Willis
Dahlem, were returning from a
drive east. After they had crossed
the overhead bridge the motor
did not appear to be working prop
erly. The car was stopped and
pulled to the right hand side of
the pavement with two wheels well
off the pavement. Shortly after
they had stopped Raymond
Brothers six-wheel truck and trail
err loaded with 1900 pounds of
freight for Fargo, N. D., crossed
the bridge.
With the approach of the truck
young Dahlem was standing in
front Of the Chrysler and Mr.. KEN
ton at the very rear or back OF
his car. When the truck hit the
Chrysler the body Of young Dab
lem made big indenture in the
radiator Of the Chrysler. He was
carried about so feet and finally
landed in the field at the side OF
the highway. How he escaped I'M
mediate death is a miracle. Late
Wednesday evening he was resting
easily at the home Of his parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. ]. Dahlem, appar-
emily with only painful bruises to
his body and legs.
The impact was so strong that
before the truck and trailer were
brought to a standstill the Chry-
sler and both trucks were in the
six foot ditch at the side OF the
road.
The Chrysler, a 1881 model, was
completely wrecked from the rear.
The body is badly stove in and the
frame was warped out Of shape.
There was no damage to the
merchandise but the front axe OF
the truck was broke, the springs
were broken, the right front fem
der was ruined, as were the head
lights. The roof was torn off the
trailer.
1t took three of the large Ray
lmond Brothers trucks to pull the
big truck and trailer out Of the
ditch.
The truck was driven by John
Rollins. an employee Of the Ray
mond Brothers for several years,
and a very trustworthy driver.

manner a couple Of the very good

rivalry between these teams has
always been keen. Rev. FIR. Car

Grey Eagle band in furnishing mu-
sic for the occasion.
