20 Years Ago
Excerpts From The Herald
March 81, 1912


The first names to be engraved
on the beautiful silver cup, valued
at $1,000 and donated to the Sank
Centre public schools by Jas. A.
Caughren, will be those of John
Hanson, Edith Gates and Robert
Kells. This trio representing the
senior class in the local high
school, won the prize debate last
Thursday night, over the freshman
team, the decision of the three
Judges, His Honor the Mayor,
John N. McGibbon, F. w. Sprague
and A. F. Strebel, being unanimous.
The victory was not a walkaway.
The freshman team composed OF
Carl Minette, Maud Gingery and
Russell Cooper, fought every inch
of the ground. 1t was very close
fight, but the judges realized that,
in all close debates, the burden OF
proof rests with the affirmative,
and cast their votes with that idea
in view.
One of the curiosities in Sank
Centre the past few days has been
monster Great Northern Pike
caught in Fairy Lake by Gus
Baede, who resides near that body
of water. The particular fish in
question measured AZ inches from
the fork in the tail to the tip OF
the nose, q inches around the
body, and weighed Is pounds on
the scales in Buchers meat market.
The machinery for producing day
current by the Central Minnesota
Power & Milling Co. has arrived
and is being installed this week.
At the annual meeting of the
Stearns County Sunday School AS
ISOLATION in st. Cloud Monday and
Tuesday Mrs. c. w. Rotert, of
Sank Centre, was elected teacher
training superintendent. Mrs. Ro-
teri, who is a good worker in the
Baptist Sunday School Of this city,
was unable to attend the gathering.
The Pleasant Valley Farmers
Club met Tuesday night with a good
attendance. President Frank Pes
chek gave a talk on Potatoes" and
K. A. Norsen spoke on Soils"
F. P. Cullens and Walter boo
herr have rented the Sank Centre
garage on Third Street Of Mel
Billed and will open an automobile
repair shop in the near future.
Both gentlemen carry journeymen's
cards from the American Associa-
ton of Machinists and are compe-
tent workmen.
Miss Pauline Dahlem, who has
been combining bushes with
pleasure for a few weeks in the
East, writes from Washington,
where she was a guest at the New
Willard, that she will probably be
home Sunday night. Miss Dahlem
was having a fine time in the ma
tional capital, seeing the sights.
She called on the president, being
admitted to the White House on
a card of introduction furnished
her by U. S. Senator Knute Nelson.
Miss Dahlem spent three days in
Washington where, she writes, the
trees are all budding. She en-
joyed several auto trips about the
city and into its suburbs, including
one to Arlington.

whom such behavior was not pro-
f1table. Most tantrums were short,
but there were some episodes last

The mothers would try ignoring
these long outbursts a. first and
then their self-control would break
down and they would give in. Ig-

Cavert. Advises Lots of Hay and
Pasture


Since having plenty of rough
feed is the best way to meet low
prices for butterfat and livestock,
Minnesota farmers should take
special care this year to provide
plenty of hay and pasture, says
VIM. L. Cavert, extension economist
University Farm, st. Paul, Farm
ers forced during dry weather to
resort to ban feeding will find it
costs 5 or 6 dollars a month per
cow, whereas with ample pasture
the cost will not exceed $3.50 per
month.
Farmers up against it for early
spring pasture can get quick re-
suits by sowing mixture of small
grains just as early as possible.
Others who have old hay fields may
do better to use these meadows for
pasture and provide for hay by
sowing Sudan grass, soybeans or
some other annual crop.
Many farmers who depend upon
native pasture, such as June grass,
ordinarily have a decided shortage
during July and August. In south
ern Minnesota this emergency can
be met by sowing Sudan grass. The
crop does particularly well in warm
dry weather and is excellent for
general midsummer use.
Crops best adapted for emergency
hay are soybeans, Sudan grass and
fodder corn. The seed is cheap and
the crops can be handled with the
equipment available on every farm.
Of the three, soybeans make the
best hay for cows. However (soy-
beans ordinarily are not successful
in sections north of Moorhead'
while Sudan grass is likely to prove
unsuccessful north of Morris.

GROWING WITH YOUR CHILD
Temper Tantrums

Practically all parents feel con-
cerned, even frightened at times,
over the outbursts of temper dis
played by their children. AS mat
ter of fact, anger is the emotion
displayed most often.
Mothers often say there is no
use trying to do anything about
Juniors violent temper because he
Is just like his father-or his un-
Gle or grandmother. They may be
excusing themselves because they
do not want to take the necessary
trouble to improve matters-or they
may be at a total loss to explain
the child's irritability.
To help clarity the cause of
temper outbursts, DR.. Goodenough
of the University Of Minnesota,
made a study of anger in young
children which was based on re-
cords kept by parents for several
months. Each mother made a care
full report of anger outbursts, their
duration, time occurrence, and the
methods of control she used. In
all, nearly two thousand outbursts
of anger were studied.
All the children had periods of
irritability, and to her periods when
all was serene for days at a time.
Some children were irritable only
twice week; others had as many
as fifteen tantrums a week. The
study also showed that anger oc-
ours more frequently between the
first and second birthdays than at
any other age during childhood.
The study showed, as mothers
know, that children are more ir-
ritable when they are not well,
when they are constipated, or when
they are unduly fatigued. Hunger
also seems to cause temper tan
trums. These occurred almost
twice as often during the hour inn
before meals as during
the hour after meals. In training
children in self-control, 1t Is wise
to recognize these danger points.
and keep the number of annoyances
at a minimum at these times.

their own way as a result Of an
