BoObar, Nov. Is

Friday Nov. 18 is the date which
has been set for The Toymaker,"
the operetta to be given by the Glee
Clubs of the Sank Centre Junior

While the toymakekr sleeps, his
toys wake up and hold their revels
in his workshop. The toymaker is
secretly in love with a princess,
whom he has seen riding past his
window. Unknown to him, the
princess returns his love. When
the emperor sends forth a procla-
nation that he will bestow his
daughters hand upon any toymak-
er in the land who can make a toy
to please the sulky little brother of
the princess, the toymaker labors
to produce a winning toy. The
prince surprises everyone by choos-

REGAIN VOTE SURPRISE,

ernor and Franklin Roose-
welt Heavy Pluralities

The city of Sank Centre polled
one of the largest votes in its his
tory at Tuesdays election, 389 in
the First Ward and 8O2 in the Sec
ond.
Because of the length of the state
ballot the City Council very wise
ly named substitute judges in both
wards to replace those receiving
the ballots at the close of the polls.
The new crew started working
at 500 P. M, and did not complete
their labors until nearly midnight
last night. The first Ward finished
about midafternoon Wednesday.
There was a very pretty race in
the city between Governor Olson
and Earle Brown, Republican can
didate for Governor. Gov. Floyd o.
son, Farmer-Labor candidate, had
plurality of seven votes in the
First Ward; Mr.. Browns lead in
the Second Ward was seven, an
even break for the city. John e. Re
gan, Democratic candidate, polled
an even 200 votes in both wards.
The Republican nominees for the
other state offices had comfortable
pluralities in both wards. The vote
of the latter was a surprise to the
Olson managers as they had count
ed on carrying the city heavily.

Farmers VIII Meet at the Village
Hall, Albany, Nov. IL, at
2:OO'P. M.

"a meeting has been called at the
village hall, Albany, for Saturday
afternoon, Nov. II, at 200 o'clock.
The object of the meeting is to try
and get lower interest on loans held
by loan associations and banks. At
the present time it is impossible for
the farmer to pay high interest
rates and legislative action may be
taken at this meeting in regard to
interest on loans and mortgages.
The speaker will be Frankson, of
the State Rural Credits Bureau, st.
Paul, who will explain the matter
of interest rates and the morator-
ium.
A short time ago a meeting was
held at the Court House at st.
Cloud, when it was decided to hold
another meeting at Albany in order
to get definite action on this mat
ter All farmers interested in low
err interest rates and loans should
attend this meeting.-Communicat-

Merged Schools
Cut Expenditures
Operation of Rural Institutions Re
duced from $1,000 to $3.50
Under Plan

There has been a growing ten
dency the past few years toward
the plan of merging rural school
districts. Many districts have
found that the plan has helped to
solve their local school problems
because it not only reduced the
cost of operating their school from
an average of $1,000 per year, to an
average of about $730 per year, but
it has improved to some extent the
educational possibilities offered to
the children, Norman A. Bergen, of
the Minnesota Taxpayers Associa-
ton, declared in a talk Thursday.
Sixty-seven Minnesota counties
have reported that the total trans
portation costs to single district
under the merger plan averaged
$439 per district, and the total tut
ton cost averaged $23S for a single
district-thus it will be seen that
the total transportation and tuition
costs added together averaged 1872
per district. In 1881, the total costs
of both these times averaged 1882
per school district, Mr.. Bergen
pointed out.
If you will substract this $732 Per
school costs from the operation
costs of your own rural district rs
1t is today, you can get some idea
Of the savings that are possible in
your district.
IF the savings in money were the
only consideration, this plan likely
would not appeal to the average
parent. But when parents realize
that their children will have a
somewhat broadened field to work in
and their educational opportunities
are raised to a certain degree, then
there is a very definite appeal" Mr..
Bergen said.

Sank Centre Gives Local
Man Majority of COZ

Early last Spring, Fred T. LUX,
of this city, filed as a candidate for
the legislature from this, the first
of the 10th Legislative district. Not
much attention was paid to the
filing at the time.
The Sank Centre man was OPP
posed by Hon. zeno Moser, of Mel
rose, a veteran member of the
House.
AS the campaign progressed the
chances of success of Mr.. LUX ap-
peared to improve.
It was reported that the city of
Melrose was firing of Mr.. Moser
and would give Mr.. Lux fine vote.
Past experience had taught the
posted Sank Centre citizens to
look upon this statement with
doubt. Melrose had usually sup
ported candidates from their city
almost unanimously. They came
through for Lux in fine style Tues
day.
It was also said that Grove and
other communities in the south
eastern part of the district would
give Mr.. LUX a majority. They did.
There are about 20 precincts in
the district, including the cities of
Sank Centre and Melrose, and the
villages of Paynesville, Belgrade,
Brooten, Greenwald, Metre Grove
and Spring Hill.
Sank Centre city and township
gave Mr.. LUX a majority of 7O4
while Melrose city and township
gave Mr.. Moser a majority Of
about 100.
With the home vote to start with
Mr.. Lux began to climb. The re-
turns have been slow in reporting,
but the election of Mr.. Lux is clear
ly indicated, and the probability is
that his majority will be in the
neighborhood of 1000.
In the Second of the 46th dis
trict, with IL of the 10 precincts re-
porting. Hugh Griffin, the Cold
Spring druggist, has defeated Will
liam Schneider, of Albany, a can
didate' for reelection. In the pre-
cincts reporting, Mr.. Griffin has
2,455 votes and Mr.. Schneider 1880.
Mr.. Griffin is a brother-in-law of J.
F. Coyle of this city.

In the most smashing and sur

the Presidency of the United States
Tuesday when more than 4O,OOO,-
900 of the citizens, of the ma

the votes of the electoral college.
The political student Is not surpris-
ed at Mr.. Roosevelts victory but at
its magnitude. The Litery Digest
straw vote has again proved relia-
BILE index. Four years ago Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover broke all pre-
vious record is when he buried Gov.
Alfred Smith under an avalanche of
votes. Roosevelt's success Tuesday
is even more pronounced.
When one considers that Mr..

of Mr.. Hoover can be visualized.

Roosevelt with a plurality which
may be in excess of 10000.
The North Star State came near
going Democratic in 1915 when
President Wilson defeated Charles
Evans Hughes by a small margin.
The sponsors of Mr.. Hughes and
the press Of the country were so
certain of Mr.. Hughes election in
the early hours of Wednesday
following election that Mr..
Hughes was routed out from his
home to thank the American peo-
pie for the confidence they had be-
slowed upon him.
At that particular period, Mr..
Hughes had a nice lead in Califor-
mia. He had failed to meet Sen
ator Hiram Johnson when he Wis
tied California. The latter resent
ed the insult for which Mr.. Hughes
was in no way to blame, and
turned the tide which resulted in
the election of Mr.. Wilson.
Stearns county played a very
part in the 1916 election.

Accident Results
Fatal to Farmer
John HOff Dies At University
Hospital From Pitchfork
Injuries

A tragic accident that resulted in
death for John Hoff, occurred in
Norway Lake township Friday af-
ternoon and took from that COM
munity an industrious and highly
respected young man.
Mr.. Hoff was very seriously in
jured when the handle of a pitch
fork entered his abdomen thru the
rectum as he descended from the
hay NOW on q hay sling. He and
his brother, Elmer had been put
ting up straw in the barn. The last
batch had been dumped in the
NOW, and since the hay sings
were heavy and difficult to pull
down with the rope attached to
them, Mr.. Hoff decided to let him
self down with the sings, his body
thus acting as weight. Before
jumping off the NOW he had
thrown down the fork, which stuck
in the hay rack in upright position.
His broher called to him to wait
until the fork could be removed,
but he had already let go. His de-
scent was rapid and the fork handle
could not be avoided, with the re-
suit that he sustainedu internal in
juries which later brought on per-
itonitis, from which he died Mon
day evening.
He was brought to Brooten for
medical attention and later taken
to the University hospital in Min
neapolis, where Efforts to save his
lif" were of no avail.
John Hoff was born in Lake Jo-
hanna township Sept. 10, 1894, and
had therefore attained the age of
38 years. He was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Christian Hoff, the form
er Of whom survives him.

By United Press
ST PAUL, MINI, Oct 8.-Pilot
Mel Fried of Northwest Always,
Inc, today was credited with saw
ing three lives, when he pancaked
big Hamilton plane to a safe
forced landing in a swamp.
Fried and Reinhold Pinke and
James Lamont, Anyways corporation
employees, were making test flight
with the plane. When the plane
failed them over the state fish
hatcheries, he brought it down.
Fried and the two others waded
through knee deep mud to solid

Fried last month was credited
with saving the life of a man at
a Wisconsin lake resort when he
roared his motor to arouse citizens,
and warn them of a fire.
