Line StraddlersI
May Get Arrest
Motorists Must Keep to Right of
Center Line Highway Bulletin
Warns

The line marked down the center
of paved highways is considered
one of the most definite safety fea-
lures of modern highways, and
motorists in Minnesota who fail to
keep to the right of it in accord
ance with the uniform traffic law
are likely to get tickets from high
way patrol officers which will re-
quire their appearance in court, in
stead of the warning that has been
customary to the present, recent
highway bulletin reports.
Motorists who make a practice of
straddling the center line invariab-
ly swing in after having turned out
to meet other vehicles, without
looking to the rear and without Civ
ing a signal, highway patrolmen re-
port. This results in many side
swiping accidents through cars
that have been behind them moving
up to pass just as the line-straddler
moves to the center Of the roadway
again.
A car approaching an intersec-
ton and travelling in the center of
the road causes opposing motorists
to expect a left turn to be made,
and the turning to the right by the
middle-of-the-roader, instead of to
the left, frequently furnishes the
settings for a head-on collision, the
bulletin reports.
Records are made at the highway
department headquarters of warn
ings given to motorists for this and
similar kind of traffic law infrac-
lions, according to Captain Geo.
Kuch, of the state highway patrol,
and if it is disclosed that these
warnings are disregarded and the
practice continued, more drastic
measures will be applied. Keep
to the right side Of the line re-
CARELESS of whether other vehicles
are in sight, or not, and you will be
safer from possible injury and safe
from arrest" Captain Kuch reports.

Former Resident Re.
turns to City for Visit
James Love, Left This Community
in 19O0-Uncle of Mrs.
Geo. Fish

James Love, of Cadiz, Harrison
county, O., a resident of the Sank
Centre community from 1881 to
1900, arrived in this city Friday
evening of last week for a visit of
several weeks with Mr.. and Mrs.
George Fish. The gentleman is an
uncle of Mrs. Fish.
The trip Is being made entirely
by bus. Mr.. Love caught a bus
passing his farm door Thursday
morning and arrived in this city
as stated above on Friday evening.
He will visit relatives and friends
in Kansas and Illinois before re-
turning. When he leaves Sank Cen
ire, probably about Sept. 1, Mr..
Love will travel for Kansas via
Fargo, N. D.
When the gentleman moved to
this community he purchased the
farm three miles west of Sank Cen
ire where he resided until he sold
it to Tony Jung.
He is living on his boyhood farm
in Ohio. He says conditions are
probably worse there than in Min
nesota. Cadiz is in a farming and
coal mining region. Mr.. Love milks
ten cows and keeps 125 sheep. That
section of Ohio has always been a
great wool producing section. He
said this years cut was sold for
10 cents per pound. The crops
grown are alfalfa, oats and corn.
Although rs years of age Mr..
Love is rugged and has a keen
mind. He thinks perhaps Roose-
welt, may carry Ohio but that the
Republicans will elect the Cover
nor. The people of Ohio are for
the resubmission of the 18th amend
ment, Mr.. Love thinks.
He last visited Sank Centre and
community % years ago. He is
greatly surprised at the advance
ment made not only in Sank Centre
but in the entire state.

Bonus Contingent of 50
Canned at Fair" Grounds

Vile stage for years, playing the
Orpheum circuit as comedian. He
was a member Of tine 35th division
and saw oversee service, most OF
the time in civilian capacity.
The Captain stated that practic-
ally all of the members of their ex-
petition were connected with the
theatrical profession. He said none
of them had had employment for
more than a year. He lays the
failure of the passage of the bonus
bill at tine door of President
Hoover.
From the conversation had with
other members of the contingent
there is not any communistic senti-
ment in the group. The men are a
wholesome appearing lot. The wo-
men and children in appearance
would be credit to any commun-
ity.
The company spent several days
at Mankato, coming from there di-
rect to this city. Col Knudson spent
last evening with relatives near
Long Prairie.
On being asked the itinerary
Capt. Veenee stated that they would
work their way northeast to Du-
luth, where he has a brother and
sister residing. They will then get
over into Wisconsin travelling south
and into Iowa.
Evenings during their stay in a
community the company put on a
vaudeville entertainment to which
the public is invited. There is no
admission charge but a collection
is taken for the purpose of supply
ing the means to purchase gasoline.
The entertainment in this city will
be this Thursday evening at 800
o'clock. It should be well worth
while.

Pres. Hoover
for Localized
Liquor Sales
In His Speech of Acceptance
This Thursday Evening He
Will So State
co BEYOND PLATFORM
Opposed to Reopening of the.
Saloons-New System to
Be Recommended

Washington, Aug. 10-President
Hoover, in his acceptance speech
tomorrow night, will go beyond
the republican party's platform
declaration sz On prohibition and
commit himelf to a change in the
eighteenth amendment which will
permit the manufacture and sale
of legalized liquor. 49,.
The President will recommend
some change in the amendment
which will permit the states to
handle the liquor question them
selves, but retain the provisions
eliminating the saloon and other
wise serving the major purpose Of
the eighteenth amendment.
Thus the President will definite
ly commit himself to a change.
The republican platform simply
proposes submission of the eigh-
teenth amendment to the states,
without declaring in favor of it.
For a long time, it was felt that
the President would stand on this
declaration, defending it as a
much better and quicker way of
bringing about a change, should
the states declare in favor of it.
But he has decided in the last few
days to go much further and de-
clare definitely in favor of
change himself.
In other words, the noble ex-
pertinent has run it's course, and
has demonstrated the need of a
change.
The President will discuss the
evils of the saloon and of the new
speakeasy era. He will declare
that the refusal of some states to
enforce the amendment and the
breakdown of enforcement in
other states have proved absolute
ly the need for a new setup, but
will lay particular emphasis on the
major purpose Of the amendment,
which was to do away with the
saloon and curtail the use of liquor.
In other words, he will recon-
mend a new system which will
mean more temperance in the use
Of liquor.

Special High Class Attrac.
tons Have Been Booked
Current Bills

The Herald wonders if the resi-
dents of Sank Centre and COM
munity thoroughly appreciate that
the. Oxford Theatre is one Of the
most modern to be found in the
rural communities aof the North
west.
Under the management of the
Perrizios only first release pic
lures are being offered. Many
times the big ones are offered in
Sank Centre before the. people of
the Twin Cities have an opportun-
ity to see them. Million Dollar
Legs" for instance, showing Sun
day and Monday evening, is now
the feature attraction at the State
Theatre, Minneapolis. 1.-THE Wash
ington Masquerade" featuring
Lionel Barrymore, will be at the
Oxford next week. This picture
has not yet been seen in the Twin
Cities.
The admission prices at the Ok
ford have been very low for the
quality of entertainment provided.
The attendance is not what it
should be. Mr.. Perrizio will estab-
lish an innovation for Friday and
Saturday evenings of each week,
starting Aug. 10 and continuing
each week as long as patronage
warrnts. For these evenings the
admission price will be 10 cents for
each person attending. To insure
the retention of this low price for
Friday and Saturday evenings
capacity audiences will be required.
Special type features will be
booked for these evenings. They
will be clean, high class entertain
ment.
If the deduced plan does not
work out the present prices Of 10
and Is cents will be resumed. The
matter is entirely in the hands of
the public.

Sank Centre came back out of
the dumps Sunday and gave Broo-
ten a walloping, when they won
by the score of z to 4. Holt, third
baseman, who played several games
earlier in the season with Sank
Centre, was back in the lineup and
he had a perfect day at bat, getting
four hits out of four trips to the
plate. Sank Centre had six earned
runs and Brooten deserved three of
their counters.
In the first three innings Brooten
was held to one lone hit. Their
first counter came in the fourth
frame, when Arneson was out short

a foursome from Brooten were
playing golf at the Sank Centre
Country Club. They had all shot
off the first tee. One of the men
