American Legion

Fourteen years ago a star In a
window of Minnesota home in
dicated that the family had given
one Of its number to the wartime
service of Old Glory.
This week in hundreds Of Min
nesota communities and through
out the nation, white stars on q
field of blue are again appearing
in homes, stores and factories.
Their meaning is explained by the
message they carry. 1--WE Enlisted
In The War Against Depression"
According to c. A. Zwiener,
state Legion adjutant, these new
service stars are being awarded in
three secific instances as follows:
Frist-Where a business or in
dividual employs one or more
hitherto unemployed wage earn
ers.
Second-Where a householder
pledges a definite number Of hours
of work per week.
Third-Where a business or an
individual pledges the immediate
expenditure Of a definite sum of
money for repairs or improve
ments which will create employ
ment.
These service stars" Mr..
Zwiener has warned the 467 Amer
lean Legion posts of Minnesota,
which are being aided by the 405
Minnesota Legion Auxiliary units,
should not be carelessly distribut-
ed and should not be used as
automobile stickers but should be
awarded only where the firm or
individual makes a definite pledge
which results in the employment
of wage earners now unemployed"
This week, as one million and a
half Legion and Legion Auxiliary
members go from house to house,
from store to store, and from fac
tory to factory, their mission is
summed up in the pledge they ask
you to sign. It reads:
THE PLEDGE-Believing that
a dollar invested in employing
labor does more good than a dollar
given as charity, and desiring to
help increase employment, I here
by pledge that I will, during the
next three months, expend at least
$--------- in improving my home,
factory store, buildings or grounds
by purchasing desirable equipment
or by making needed additions, re.
pairs or alterations; and, or, by
making needed additions, repairs
or alteration; and, or by making
personal purchases for myself
family or friends, which might
otherwise be deferred"

Lovers Courageous.

Robert Montgomery runs the
gamut of many callings in Lovers
Courageous" his latest starring
vehicle which will be shown Sum
day and Monday at the Oxford
Theatre. In the beginning of the
story, which was written especially
for Montgomery by the noted Eng
fish writer, Frederick Lonsdale,
the star Is shown as a disconnected
youth who rebels against being
tutored for the job of post-office
clerk. He runs away from home
and becomes sailor. Next he is q
hotel porter; then a window wash
er. After that he is a cowboy and
then tobacconist's assistant. He
ultimately becomes a playwright.
Madge' Evans has the feminine
lead in this picture and the cast
also includes Roland Young, Fred
erick Kerr, Reginald Owen and
Beryl Mercer.

Bifurcated Skirts Are
Fine for Active Sports

Sponsors Of the divided skirt are
united in their determination to
make 1t success. If the pajama
is not an overwhelming success in
the ballroom, they do not despair.
There is still left the field Of sports,
and what more suitable, say the de-
signers Of the bifurcated skirt, than
such a garment for strenuous wear
for active participation In tennis
or golf.
We have costumes for golf, with
skirts that conceal the bifurcation
by clever, circular cutting.

The Depression And The Child

The Depression And The Chhd
Tn times of depression 1t Is the
children who suffer. Not only IN
times of dire need, but in general
measurers, it seems to be the eA-
penditures for the health, educa-
tion and welfare Of children which
are cut first. This Is partly De
cause children seem to grow even
If nothing is done for them, ana
partly. because no advantage APP
pears Immediately as result OF
keeping children in good physical
health and educating them prop
erly. We can see, Immediately, the
effect of disease on our cattle ana
hogs: we can see the effect OF re-
duced income on the management
of our businesses and we can see
the necessity for cutting food
budgets in the size of the bills we
receive. But we cannot see so
clearly what some time In the fu-
ture we must pay the cost OF the
present disease and neglect OF our
children.
Perhaps one of the benefits Of
the depression, If there be any, Is
the responsibility it places on the
parents. If public expenditures for
the health, education or feeding
the children in your community
are cut down, it Is up to the par
ents to supply that lack.
The question in an emergency
before every parent is how best to
spend the smaller amount OF
money available. Heath care and
an adequate dietary are among
the most important items Of prop
er care. The intelligent use of the
resources which are at hand be-,
comes the tremendously important
thing in caring for children on a
reduced income.
For example, every kind Of food
necessary to an adequate diet is
available on the farm and in the
rural community. Yet, a survey
conducted for the White House
Conference on Child Health and
Protection recently showed that

If the farmer sends his cream to
the city to feed the city children,
while his own children suffer. If
green vegetables are not used
where they are grown, who suf-
fers most,
On a comfortable income, sug-
gests Miss Lucy Gillette, nutrition
specialist, the money spent for
food should be divided as follows:
one-fifth for fruits and vegetables;
one-fifth for milk and cheese; one
fifth for meat, fish eggs; one-fifth
for bread and cereals; and one
fifth for fats, sugar and other
groceries.
However, when shortage of
money forces the food budget
down to an abornally low level,
perhaps one-third of the money of
the food budget should be spent for
milk in some form, and one-fifth
for fruits and vegetables but Of
the cheaper sorts so as to get the
most food value for the money.
At least one-fifth Of the reduced
expenditure may well go for
breadstuffs and cereals, since a
penny spent here will go farthest
to meet the actual pangs of hum
ger.

diet, DR.. II. G. Sherman Of Column

Interesting Talk

Thursday morning the members
Of the Eighth and Ninth grades en-
jcyed an interesting talk presented
to them by r. r. Schwalen. Slides
were used to illustrate his talk.
Starting from San Francisco he
took them on a tour around the
world. The first stop was at Hon
kong, China. There they viewed
the streets and native costumes.
There is one telephone in China for
every five hundred persons. In the
United States there is telephone
for every six persons. From China
they proceeded to Burma, India,
Arabia, and to Northern Africa.
There they viewed an Egyptian
telephone. From there they crossed
the Strait of Gibraltar and visited
Spain, Germany. and France. Stock
holm, Sweden was the next stop
and from there they went to the
Land Of the Midnight Sun. Iceland,
Greenland, South America, and Gu
ba were also included in the tour.
Then the Statue Of Liberty told
them that they were once more in
their own country. The slides were
very interesting and were enjoyed
by everyone.

George Washington on Weed
Eradication

With the arrival Of the bi-cen-
tennial Of George Washington's
birth, Nate II. Bovee, county agent
Of Redwood county which has ac-
quired fame for its weed eradica-
ton program, cites the fact that
the father Of this county was in
terested in weed eradication as far
back as 1892. He quotes a letter
written by George Washington to
Anthony Whiting that year as fol-
lows:
{. "Mr. Lambert has travelled good
deal about this country and Is Of
the opinion that our great error
lies in not keeping our arabic land
clean and free from weeds. I OBJ
served to him that the people of
this country are Of opinion that
naked fallows under hot sun are in
furious. He will not by any means
admit the principle or the fact; but
ascribes the impoverished state Of
our lands and bad crops to the
weeds which he everywhere sees
and which both exhaust and foul
1t. BY constantly ploughing, these,
he says, are eradicated."

bia University suggests we may
wisely meet the emergency by
concentrating on three necessary
groups Of foods; (1) milk and its
products, 90 fruits and vegetab-
les, CD bread and other cheap
sources Of calories. If there are
times Of such dire restitution that
sacrifices must be made even
among the bare essentials, then he
advises, build the dietary around
bread and milk, as these foods con-
tain more Of the vitamins and nu-
tritional elements than any other
single food.

Excerpts From The Herald
February 20, 1912


DR.. H. f. Hennemann, president;
A. w. Austin, vice president; A. ].
Powers, secretary; w. s. Dean,
treasurer. These are the officers
elected for the Sank Centre Com
mercial Club, organized Wednes-
day evening by the business men
of the city. Articles Of incorpora-
ton and by laws were adopted
and a good start was made in the
right direction.
Madsen Bros. Of Minneapolis,
have been awarded the contract
for the construction of the new
high school building for Sank Gen.
tire, their bid of $27,065 being the
lowest one submitted. There were
thirteen bids all told, and they
were laid before the board last
Thursday. The Contract was
awarded at that time, all bidders
being present. A lively time en-
sued.
The, musical entertainment CIV
en- at the Opera House Monday
evening by the Sank Centre Band
was a success in every respect.
The music was of a high order,
there was a capacity house and
the financial end of the affairs
shows a net sum of about $500
in the treasury of the band. The
band under the leadership of Mr..
Aamot, has made much progress
Of late and compares favorably
with any orgization of its kind in
the state in city of the size of
Sank Centre.
The basket social, given on
Wednesday evening of last week
by the ladies of the Church Of Our
Lady Of the Angles, was a success
from every viewpoint. The attend
ance was good and the receipts
were very satisfactory. It goes
without saying that the contents
of the baskets were very tooth
some. Much merriment occurred
during the auctioning of the bas-
kets. Albert Butcher purchased
three baskets and enjoyed the fun
greatly. The Sank Centre Band
blew in end furnished some good
music. Their attendance was un-
solicited but the ladies appreciated
1t greatly.
The fire department was called
out at ten O'clock Wednesday eve
ming by a fire in the bus barn in
rear Of the Palmer House. A
blaze started in straw in an empty
stall but was quickly subdued. The
smoke was very dense for a time.
The horses were removed and the
only possible loss will be the
smoking Of the hay stored in the
loft. L. ]. Irish proprietor of the
bus line is unable to account for
the fire.
Henry Ebben, Louis Borgmann
and the Misses Richard, Gieske,
Lauer, Ebben and Fleischacker
spent Sunday at the home of A. J..
Orth.
Mrs. e. A. Richards returned
Saturday from st. Paul where she
had been for two weeks. She re-
ported w. c. Smith, who had been
seriously i'll for sine time, as
much improved.
Some excellent work is being
done in the manual training de-
partment of the Public School.
George Conkey has finished a
porch swing. Henry Benson has
nearly completed a magazine rack.
Agnes Grundman is progressing
rapidly with her dinning room
table. The short course students
are making seed corn racks, ger
mination boxes, egg cases, draw
ing tables, medicine cabinets, book
case, etc.

promised to look into the matter
of starting a dancing school for
the pupils Of the Junior and Sem
Tor assemblies. Wednesday the
first step toward this activity was
taken. Every Wednesday from AIS

be used as dancing school. Here
Mr.. Kohl with the help of the fac
ulty will try to teach the correct
dancing steps and rhythm. This
project needs the cooperation Of

committees to promote the work
in each Of these lines are appoint

Why T. b. Test Paws

An editorial in Dairy Produce
for January 20 says: Cleveland,
o., started, January /. to enforce
its regulation, notice Of which had
been previously given, that all but
ter sold in the city must come
from cows that had been tuber-
culin tested. A similar regulation
has been under consideration in
Chicago for several years. When
the pasteurization regulation, APP
plying to milk, was promulgated 1t
was announced that the next step
would be that milk and other
dairy products sold in the city
would have come from cows prov
ed by the test to be free from tub
erculosis, and at the time it was
expected that this regulation would
not be long delayed. No doubt the
effect Of the action in Cleveland
will influence other cities to adopt
a like regulation. Such matters
move in that manner"
