City, Had Stolen Car in Pos
session at Time

Edward Streitz, formerly of this

pany with a man named George
Doherty, transient, in a Chevrolet
coach. The car bore a 1881 Min
nesota license. The men were pick
ed up by the Highway Patrol and
taken before Municipal Judge r. r.

Some time ago Chief of Police Jos.
Miller had been requested by Sher-
if Schooner to arrest and hold
Streitz the first time he visited this
city, as he was wanted for burglar
izing cottages. Chief Miller placed
the men under arrest at the Munic-
ipal Court. They were bound over
to grand jury and placed in Jail by
Chief Miller.
On being questioned Streitz said
he did not know who the coach be-
longed to. that he had stolen it at
st. Cloud about 500 o'clock Satur-
day.
The time elapsing from the time
the car was stolen until their ar
rival in this city in the early after
noon, was not accounted for.
AS soon as the men were lodged
in jail the sheriff was notified and
he came to this city for them later
in the afternoon and transported
them to st. Cloud. The car con-
tanned % calibre revolver and an
automatic cartridge clip for 80
shells.
Streitz is about % years old. He
left Sank Centre several years ago.
Monday morning Streitz was
questioned by Sheriff Schooner re-
garding previous complaints, and
he confessed to a lake cottage rob
berry, and to the theft of car and
some turkeys. He signif1ed will
ingness to plead guilty, the sheriff
said, and declared he would be TAX
en- to Long Prairie to appear before
Judge J. A. Roeser very soon.
The lake cottage robbery was at
the summer home of "A. ]. Koerber
on the shores of Clearwater lake.
There some household furnishings
were taken. It is believed a stolen
car was used at the time. The tur-
key theft occurred in the town of
Collegeville. About Is turkeys were
taken from a farmers yard, and
the farmers Ford car was used to
haul the turkeys to market. The
car was found in East st. Cloud
bearing all the ear marks Of hav-
ing hauled turkeys.

James Kline, Eagle Scout,
Minneapolis, Visits Orient
as Guest of Magazine
MET Indy IN TOXIC
Mems Brotherhood, of Congre'
gational Church, Elect Of
ficers for Coming Year

Thursday evening the Herald
editor had the pleasure of freely
interviewing a slight lad of IL
Senior in the Minneapolis West
High School and Eagle Scout
James Kline, wos was the guest OF
honor at the Mems Brotherhood
dinner at the First Congregational
church.
Early in the summer of 1881 the
American Boy Magazine initiated q
contest for a 300 word essay "Why
I Want to Spend the Summer in the
Orient" the winner was to be give
a free trip to China and Japan as
the guest Of the Magazine.
Jim was one of 1,500 entering
the contest. He was awarded first
prize. He left Minneapolis early in
June travelling to the west coast
through Canada, stopping enroute
at Banf and Lake Louise. He was
the only Boy Scout in the United
States making this trip. There was
one lady in the party as a guest of
the magazine, Mary Spottwood
Payne, Lynchburg, school teacher
The party numbered about so. They
sailed from Seattle with the Orient
al Upton Close Cultural Expedition,
on the Japanese Osaka Shosen
Kairsre line, Augowa Meru. Re
turning by way of Hawaiia and
embarked at San Francisco.
Practically. the entire party were
Americans. He was then in Toxic
when Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh ar
rived. He said that ordinarily
the Japs were not demonstrative,
but with the arrival of the fam
Gus aviator and his wife decorum
was thrown to the winds. Jim was
one of a small group of Americans
which really formed a reception

Claims Rural Credit Bureau
Operation Higher in 1880
Than 1881 Repudiated

Declaring that patience has ceas-
ed to be a virtue, former Governor
Theodore Christensen has served
notice that he will not hesitate to
strike back when his administers
ton is misrepresented as it has
been by Governor Floyd B. Olson
in a recent statement on the Rural
Credits Bureau.
Governor Olson's claim that his
administration has saved 10000
in 1881 as against 1880 in the man
agement of the Rural Credits de-
partment is ridiculed and blasted
by Mr.. Christianson.
Minnesota built state capital in
1904. or Whereabouts, at a cost OF
$4,000, 900. She did not build a new
state capital in 1881 so Floyd B.
Olson saved the state $4,000, OOO
last year. the former governor
writes in his column in the Dawson
Sentinel. Does it sound foolish? 1t
is no more foolish than MIR. Olson's
recent statement that 1t cost $50,
600 less to run the Rural Credit De
partment in 1881 than in 1880, and
that therefore he had established
a record for economy.
When Governor Olson includes a
permanent buildings in the cost
of running the Rural Credit De-
partment, in order to lay claim to
an economy which he has not prac-
ticed, he exposes himself to the
charge of trying to confuse the is
sue. If his board under the chair
manship of the vocoferoussM Mr.. Ga
arenstroom had not added so many
deserving political workers to the
state payroll, it would not be nee
essary to offer a so obviously spec
ious defense.
It is no wonder that operating
costs increase when an experienced
land man is dismissed as head Of
the, land sales department to make
room for a newspaper man who
has never sold a piece Of land in
his life, and when supervision OF
farm operations is given to a man
who is by occupation an aviator.
who has never run farm, and a
part Of whose activity since he was
appointed has been to carry Mr..
Gaarentroom back and forth be-
tween st. Paul and his Fairmont
home in an airplane. Let 1t be said
in extenuation Of the flying farm
er, however, that he Is an adept at
pasture pool, he nearly always ira
wells with golf sticks, That is what
qualities him as a farmer. 81 ~
The Rural Credits Department

also has another fund known as

The Leaky Roof
No other part of the house suf-
fers as much abuse as the roof.
Beating rains and sleet, strong
winds, scorching sunshine, alter
nate freezing and thawing, sliding
snow and ice do their share to wear
out the roof surface. 1t is not sur
prising, then, that the householder
is so frequently annoyed by leaky
roof.
When leak develops, it should
be repaired without delay. Else
the plaster may become cracked
and loose, and eventually fall, or
tie framework below the leak may
rot. Even small leak can cause
Giscoloration of wall coverings and
stains on finished floors 1t is econ
omical to have leaks permanently
repaired at once, or the old roof
replaced with new one.
New Roofs for Old
Compare the costs of roofing to-
twelve years, and you will discover

Roof replaced with beautiful,

to fit every pocketbook. And be-
cause of the great advances that
have been made in the roofing in

add much beauty to your home,
(thus increasing the resale value)
but will also give really permanent

I HOUSE is NO STRONGER
THAN IT'S OWN ROOFTOP

Truly has it been said that you
can Judge a house by its roof. For
a roof Is all that stands between
the householder and the sky's
moody tokens of snow and hail
and rain, OF lightning and mist and
burning sun rays. A roof must be
stout. It must be dependable.
After the severe winter weather,
you should give due attention to
your roof. If the roof is of slate,
tile, wood shingles, or composition
shingles. it should be examined
loose, or have been broken or
composition shingles, they may be
warped, or decayed, or disin-
tegrated. If the house is covered
with metal or roll roofing, there
may be holes, cracks, or open
joints. The paint or special coating
may be worn away.
Make a Real Inspection
The flashing around the Chin
ney, and the roofs vent pipes and
valleys, should also be inspected
They may be out of place, or rust
ed. Leaves, rubbish and birds nests
in the roof cutters clog the down
spouts, and should be removed.
-Strainers over the mouths of the
down spouts should be clear.
Cutters and down pipes may
need replacing or a new coat of

of paramount Importance. without
them, the household is subjected to
grave dangers of i'll health and

INSURGENCY QUiESCENT.

One of the unusual features of the 1882 Repub- lican National Convention that was not emphasized in press reports received here the absence oi the insurgent, progressive, element which Tn former years has provided most of the color for that partys quadriennal gatherings There was no LaFollette for the first time in many years Young Bob" who won great personal tribute with an able speech at Kansas City though his platform was cast into the discard remained at his desk in the Senate Chamber in Washington Senator Borah even more impressive in failure to appear than he was in person at Kansas City in 1928 Hiram Johnson of California, the fiery Norris of Nebraska Smith Wdman Brookhart, whose days in the Senate are numbered Blaine LaFollette's colleague in the Sen ate and even Gov. Pinchot whose ambitions re- ceived a death blow when he was defeated in his candidacy for a delegateshp from Pennsylvania re- mained away.
 As the insurgency was absent in person. was it absent in spirit The platform, written under the direction of President Hoover, is conservatvey worded document that has nothing to distinguish it except its conservatism. The proceedings of the convention itself except for the four-hour debate over the Prohibition plank, moved along well-lad lines planned with metculous attention to details weeks before in Washington. The wet revolters were given an opportunity to air their views but the organizations wel-drected machine fattened out the opposition with hardly perceptible jar to the machinery Business attended to with despatch efficiently and in the shortest span of time that ever characterized any similar Republican assembly

GIVE THE OLYMPIC FUND A BOOST.

Alaskans who can afford it. and there are few who cannot invited to share in contributing to the fund that is being raised by popular sub scription to defray the expenses of those athletes who will represent the United States at the rapidly approaching Olympic Games at Los Angeles. Dr. w. w. Council who named by Gov. Parks to solicit and receive voluntary donations for this most worthy cause, has been advised that $300000 short age faces the Olympic Committee and, if there is not general response from Americas sports lovers it is highly possible that the countrys teams will be limited than is regarded fitting and proper for a people whose national has become synonym for sport of all kinds.
 Alaskans, so far, have neglected in too large measure this undertaking This is due of course to the fact that no soliciting campaign has been staged for it. None is planned, Those who are interesting in the Olympiad, and most of us are and whose finances permit, should send in their freewill offerings to Dr. Council The time in which the funds may be raised has almost expired, so any donations to be made should be turned over to him without delay.

LAWN "BROWN PATCH REMEDIES
 SUGGESTED.

One of the most troublesome diseases of lawns is brown patch" fungous disease which makes its appearance in the summer. It spreads quickly from small spot and kills the grass. Lawn spec ialists of the United States Department of Agricul- ture advise fighting this disease with chemicals with different grasses and with careful watering
 In established lawn infected with brown patch the department advises applying ounce of b- chloride of mercury Corrosive sublimate) to each 1000 square feet of lawn This may be dissolved in water mixed with fine soil in sufficient quan- titles for distribution. The lawn should be well watered immediately after the chemical is ap- piled to prevent burning. This treatment should be repeated every time the disease appears. mixture of ounce of bchloride of mercury and ounces of calomel applied in the manner is more lasting than the bichloride alone. Several com- mercia preparations also serve the same purpose Before treating, however, should make sure that the brown patch is the result of disease and not due to drying out or some other cause.
 Brown patch attacks chiefly bent grass, and to less extent the fescues. As means of reducing the damage from the disease the department advises seeding lawns with Kentucky bluegrass where the soil and climatic conditions are favorable or with
