WHY DO THEY
WALK HOME ?
Friends of doc" Cooper Advise
Him to Buy Roller Skates If
He Wishes to Play Cards

Last week Thursday evening a
large number of Sank Centreites
went to Grey Eagle to engage
the whist sharks and Fred
Mossman in a game of grand and
nula. Sank Centre lost by a
score of something like 127 to
1O4. According to report it Is
all Doc Cooper's fault, and not
Mr.. Mossman's ability to play
that turned the trick. All Of
the local boys claim that ordi-
narily they would have won.
Tt seems that an unwritten
law among the pasteboard
sharks is to the effect that a man
who wins only one game must
walk home, and in accordance
with that decree Doctor Cooper
started on his hike for the home
fires. After he had trudged along
for a ways his friends relented
and invited him to ride home,
and all's well that ends well.
However, all of the boys have
advised the Hon. Doc. that he
had better get a pair of roller
skates for the next session or
improve his game considerable.
Well If the reporter Of this great
Family Journal can put the trim
to him in that Norwegian game,
he better buy those skates, for
there Is no hope.

State Weight Law
Statewide Drive VIII Start Decem-
Der neutrality-suspicious. Are
Very Specific

A statewide drive against oper-
ators of overloaded trucks on Min
nesota's highways has been order
ed to start Dec. 1, according to an
announcement by the state high
way department. Officers Of the
highway patrol have received a
large number of complaints on ov-
erloading recently. The Highway
traffic laws provide that no vehicle
with axles spaced eight feet or
more apart shall have maximum
wheel weight in excess of 5000
pounds, or an axle weight of more
than $1,000 pounds. No vehicle
with axles spaced less than eight
feet apart shall have wheel
weight in excess of 5000 pounds, or
an axle weight of more than $4,000
pounds. Both of these apply to
trucks equipped with pneumatic
tires.
Trucks equipped with solid tires
must not carry more than 80 per
cent of the tonnage permitted for
pneumatic-tired vehicles.
Patrolmen are equipped, with
loadmeters to test weights and
have authority to stop any truck.
The load regulations are for the

Sank Centre Bands
To Entertain Soon
Splendidly Balanced Senior, and
Beginners Organization to Pre-
sent Surprise Program

The music lovers of Sank Centre
have rare treat in store when Di-
erctor P. w. Hanson and his Sen
ior and Beginners bands play a
concert at the Junior High Auditor
ium in the near future. The Sem
ior band has personnel Of CO.; the
Beginners "a pieces.
Besides new band selections the
program will furnish several in
strumental soloists and band novel
ties.
The boys and girls making up the
two bands are keenly interested in
their study. The Senior band has
the best balanced Instrumentation
since it's organization. The reeds
predominant in number, as they
should. There are 10 clarinets; one
flute, two piccolos, eight saxa-
phones, four tubas, four baritones,
six horns, four trombones, 13 cor
nets, three drums.
The young men and young wom-
en- in the bands realize that the
band connection is an educational
evtivity, just as much as classes in
arithmetic, grammar, story, or art.
The study of music has to do with
all of these; it Is the most univer-
sally loved Of all the arts. Music
requires correct thinking, correct
execution and timing or there Is
no music.
The Herald Of next week will
publish a detailed program Of the
concert; the date and the hour.

Former Resident
Injured by Truck
Leonard A. Isle One of Twenty
three Men In Hospital at
Sioux City, Iowa

pleasant Valley Correspondent
The Sioux City Tribune of Nov.
20 carried an item that should be
of interest to many in the Sank
Centre community, especially the
residents of Pleasant Valley and
West Union township as it states
that Leonard G. Isle 40, Of Sioux
City, Iowa, was badly injured in a
truck accident that afternoon and
is confined in hospital in Sioux
City.
Mr.. Lisle, along with about IS
other men had put in their first
days work under the City Works
Administration and were returning
to their homes in a large truck
owned by the city. AS they started
down steep hill near Stone Park
the brakes failed to work and the
truck sped down at about 10 miles
per hour The driver, having his
choice of making sharp turn at
the foot of the hill at that speed,
or running into a ten foot en-
bankment, chose the former. The
truck tipped over and the men were
thrown out, some landing as far as
30 feet from the machine. Twenty
three of the men were taken to hos
pitfalls, four in serious condition.
Mr.. Isle was thrown a consid-
cradle distance, striking on his
head and back. He suffered a dis
location of the back, his hips badly
crushed and his head lacerated, all
of which will lay him up for some
time.
His many friends here hope he
will suffer no permanent injury and
congratulate him on his narrow
escape.

Repeal Order Issue

Washington, Nov. 28-Considera
ton Of the administrative pro-
visions Of the government-drafted
brewers code was deferred Mon
day by the farm administration to
await a decision by Presiden.
Roosevelt on how far the govern
ment should go toward controlling
the liquor traffic pending perma-
nent legislation.
The decision was expected to
come from Mr.. Roosevelt at Warm
Springs soon.
The much revised government
draft Of the distillers' code was the
subject of a conference between
Mr.. Roosevelt and Secretary WAL
lace. It was taken to Warm Springs
by Harris E. Willingham, head of
the alcohol beverage section of the
farm administration, which is en-
powered to administer it.
Revamped to meet some objec-
tons of the whisky industry, the
distillers' code Is to form a pattern
for pacts to be promulgated be-
fore repeal date-December 5-for
the brewing, importing, rectifying
and blending industries.
The brewers code will be revis-
ed by the Presidents interdepart-
mental alcohol control committee
in accordance with the Presidents
decision on the distiller's code.
Meanwhile, on petition of Canon
William Sheafe Chase, an order
was issued in District of Columbia
supreme court directing Acting
Secretary Phillips Of the state de-
partment to show cause why he
should not be restrained from pro-
claiming repeal of the eighteenth
amendment. The order Is return
able on December 4, a day before
slated repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment.
Chase is Superintendent of the
international Reform federation.
They contend that state delegates
through voting for repeal of the
eighteenth amendment acted in
convention in the several states and
that they were not given the right
Of elaboration contemplated by
the constitution.

Monday and Tuesday Of this

tive of the St. Cloud Federal En-
ployment bureau, was at the Sank
Centre Community Club rooms to
receive registrations from men OF
Western Stearns County seeking
employment under the Govern
ment's Recovery projects of differ
ent angles.
Many who had driven from
Brooten and other points Monday
to register were compelled to re-
turn home without registering be-
cause Mr.. Schneider brought only
about 100 cards VIII him. He re-.
turned Tuesday morning with a
fresh supply.
Last week when the members OF
the Sank Centre City Council in
terviewed Mr. Hollenbeck, head of
the Federal Labor Bureau in the
state at st. Paul in connection with
the proposed sewage disposal plant
they were informed that If the
plant was built under Federal sup
ervision the men would be employ
ed in the following order: Ex- ser
vice men with dependents; non-
service men with dependents;
single ex-service men and single
men non-service connected.
Much to the surprise Of single
men, unemployed, both service and
non-service connected, they were
not permitted to register in this
city. Mr.. Schneider stated he was
working under orders.
It is understood that the Veter-
an Of Foreign Wars organization,
Of this city, have started an inves-
tigation over this ruling which may

ent townships and villages. Just
how many Of these are from the

ton for Stearns county, to discuss
projects and employment for the
unemployed under the recent rul-
ing made by the Federal Govern
ment. The Minnesota allotment OF
men to be put to work and money
available will furnish Stearns coun-
ty 1,314 men employment.
Mrs. Moynihan was accompanied
by Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Severene,
Miss Marion Thompson and John
Gidmark, assistants.
Mrs. Moynihan made a detailed
and enlightening statement of the
sudden change made by the Fed
eral government in the plan OF
paying the unemployed in script and
placing them on a cash basis. The
rate of pay is 55 cents per hour;
the hours will be tx hours daily,
with a maximum of 30 hours each
week or a total of 100 hours in any
given month.
She stated that the registered I'M

the most labor.
Each project carried on must

She explained that any projects un-
der construction where the city
village or township are paying the
foreman, they must continue to do
so until the project is finished.
Mrs. Moynihan stated positively
that checks received for payment
must not be cashed in beer par
lors or by bootleggers. A violation
of this will automatically and per-
manently remove the violator from
the Civil Works Administration
program.
