To AID
IDLE. ENDORSED

Approval of proposition No. on
the June 81 special election bal
lot, was voted by the board of sup
eryisors at their last regular meet
ing. At the same time the super
ViSerS urged the citizens of Imper-
ial county to exert every effort to
obtain a unanimous vote for the
passage of this act, thereby relieV-
ing the taxpayers of all the coun-
ties of the necessity of appropriate
ing large sums for local relief.
The proposition in question is en-
titled Unemployment Relief Bonds
and authorizes the issuance of $20,-
100000 of elf-liquidating bonds by
the state to be loaned to the coun-
ties for unemployment relief This
bond issue would be retired by per-
hitting the state to withhold the
money borrowed by the counties
from their share of the gasoline tax
in ten annual installmentS begin
ming in 1887 and would not be re-
Elected in either the county or state
tax rates.
The resolution points out that
there are nearly 100000 unemploy-
ed. counting dependents, in this
state. who must be relieved by the
different cities and counties and
it is imperative that this bond is
sue be passed if relief money is to
be received from the r. F. c., be-
cause that organization has de-
clared that unless the state appro-
priated funds to assist in the re-
lief of its destitute the national
government will refuse to continue
appropriations.
Supervisor Osborne made the
motion to approve the proposition.
It was seconded by Supervisor Pre-
BILE and was passed unanimously by
the board

NEW ROAD SIGN PROVES VALUE

Worded sign which is bound to at

will undoubtedly do a great deal to

I'VE witnessed a little incident at
Indio aobut nine o'clock this morn
ing that was rather convincing. A
man and two ladies driving a car
with a Kansas license were at a
service station asking the best way
to go east. The service station at

mended the Blythe route. He told
them all about the wonders of the
Salton Sea and the marvellous scenes
along the route and did 1t SO con-
yincingly that it was temptation
not to go that way too. Anyway, 1t
looked like the party was sold on
the Blythe route. We were right be-
hind their car when they pulled
out and when they got to the juno
ton and read this new sign they
came the Imperial valley route
without even hesitating, which
shows that this sign has a positive
appeal.

The sign is attracting universal
attention on account of its bril-

NEW FARMER RESIDENT

John A. Dolls purchased the w. ].
Meyer 40 acres through Morse &
Morse Of this city and has now re-
moved to this farm from his former
residence near Buffalo Lake, MINI.
Mr.. Dolls was attracted to Sank Cen
tire because Of its desirable location
and he was also impressed with the
town as a trading point. In COM
menting on the sale, Mr.. Morse
stated that the demand for farms
seems to be picking up despite the
slowness of Governmental agencies
to bring much relief to the farmers
as yet. It has been often said that
land is the foundation of all value
and surely the farmer who has not
been too heavily in debt has not
had the difficult problems which
have confronted so many in other
lines. Mr.. Meyer has moved to st.
Cloud. He has interests both at
st. Cloud and at Kimball.

Moorehead and Fargo in Jam
Over Highway River
Crossings

The good offices of Highway No.
los Association was asked to as
sist in clarifying a highway con-
dition existing between Moorehead
and Fargo, N. D.
President Asa Wallace called
meeting of the association to be
held at Alexandria Monday after
noon to listen to the discussion and
secure all information available on
the subject.
Highway los was organized sew
eral years ago to work for the ex-
tension and completion of the paw
ing on No. 3 to Moorehead. They
worked very close with Highway
Commissioner Babcock. Only IA
miles remain unpaved, the contract
has been let for six miles to be
completed this fall. The balance
will be paved next year.
The meeting disclosed there was
a contention between Moorehead
and Fargo as to the manner in
which Federal Highway No. 10
crossed the Red river.
1t appears That several years ago
the two cities entered three bridge
building agreement. One has been
built. Erected in the first place as
a detour bridge. The center street
bridge is favored by the Moorhead
business men. They have no OBJ
lection, however to the building Of
the Front street bridge which
would bring No. 10 directly across
the river, save some distance and
eliminate several nasty railroad
crossings. They do insist that both
bridges be built at the same time.
It appears that the bond issue vot-
ed by Breckenridge provided for
this very thing.
After hearing the discussion the
los association felt that they had
best keep out Of controversial

800 Farmers SIGN
Wheat Requests
Oct. 2 Was Last Day for Signatures
County Agent Worked
Sixty Days

The final day for the sign-up of
wheat allotment applications in
Stearns county was Oct. 2 and no
new applications can be accepted
since then. Many growers however
have their signed applications with
them and are completing informa-
ton needed on them as to yields
and acreages. These folks are urg-
ed by the county agents office, st.
Cloud to send them completed ap-
plications in as soon as possible so
the community committees can be-
gin their work in reviewing appli-
cations for the various townships.
Delay in getting these in will cause
extra meetings for community COM
mittees and may be a reason for
not getting benefit payments.
So far 900 wheat applications
have been turned in at the county
agents office. A number of COM
pleted applications are still in grow
ers hands. This entire program
was put over in Stearns county in
60 days. It is remarkable achieve
ment to think of securing such a
large sign-up on a plan that was
entirely new to every wheat grow
ing farmer. Nothing Of its kind
was ever attempted in America be-
fore.
The county extension office was
also advised by Andrew Boss, st.
Paul that succotash will definitely
be included in wheat payments in
Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa
at its actual wheat content not to
exceed so per cent, unless grower
sold succotash and can show elevar-
or certificates to prove that the
mixture contained less than IS per
cent wheat no benefit payments can
be collected. This Is an important
ruling for Stearns county as over
300 growers making out applications
grew succotash.

KilledbyCar
Accident Occurred Wednes-
day, Sept. 81, at 700 P. NJ,
On County Road
HERB. CLAUDE, DRIVER
Coroner Decides Inquest Was
Not Necessary-Funeral
Saturday Morning

A very sad and fatal auto acct
dent occurred on the county road
about two and one-half miles east
of Sank Centre Wednesday evening
of last week when little Rita Vein
er, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
Weiner was hit by a Model A Ford,
driven by Herbert Claude.
As near as the Herald can learn
Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Weiner, parents,
were in Sank Centre attending the
dinner and bazaar given by the
ladies of St. Pauls Catholic
church. Rita, her uncle. Al Reiner,
who was carrying a little niece on
his shoulder, had been making a
short visit at the Johnson home
nearby. They were returning
home about 700 o'clock. Rita was
hauling a little wagon, and start
ed to cross the road.
About this time Herbert Claude,
about %, was driving west toward
the city to attend the dinner. He
was travelling at an ordinary rate
of speed. The right front fender Of
his car struck Rita, throwing her
over where she struck her skull on
the lamp of the car, and then to the
ground. Her skull was crushed;
both arms and legs were broken
and her chest caved in. She was
probably killed instantly.
Young Claude claims he did not
see the girl. Mr.. Reisner stated to
the Herald editor Tuesday that he
did not see the approaching car
nor hear it. He said the little girls
wagon was making a ''lot of noise"
Deputy Coroner A. F. Moynihan,
of this city, was summoned. After
a thorough examination it was de-
cided that an inquest was not nee
essary.
Rita was one of a family of six
children. She was born Jan. 2,
1924. Besides her parents she is
survived by four sisters: Bernice,
Donna Mae, Joan and Alice; one
brother, Robert.
"a very largely attended funeral
was held from st. Paul's Catholic
church Saturday, Sept. 80, 1888, at
900 o'clock, conducted by the pas
totr, Msgr. Plachta. Burial was
made in the German Catholic GEM
etery east of the city.
The pallbearers were all class
mates from st. Paups Parochial
school: Honory, Theresa Bastian,
Loretta Otto, Marion Steffes, Lii
liam Moore, Lorraine Lentz and Ma
RE Carter. Cross-bearer, Rose
Pauly. Active pallbearers: Alex and
Vernon Bromenschenkel, Ralph
Steffes, Edward Pflipsen, Julius
ellis.
Mr.. and Mrs. Weiner and family
and the young man responsible for
the accident have the sincere SYM
pathy of the community.
