day, October 2 at the Community
Club rooms.
Oscar J. Onstad, newly elected
Commander Immediately went into
action by urging a drive for in
crease in numbers and stressing
community service.
Temporary regular meeting
nights were set for the second Mon
day of each month, this change was
made in the hope that more of the
members who have reports to make
ont the first of the month might
attend the meetings. There will
be banquet held for 1888 men,
bers on or near Arm1stic Day night.
It is expected that it will become an
unusual affair. There will also be
an Armistice dance. Considerable
activity has been planned, the pro-
ceeds from same to be used in a
charitable manner, perhaps the two
outstanding projects planned is the
presenting of a home talent Min
strel show the early part of Decem-
Der and an athletic show at an
earlier date. All IN all it looks like
a busy year for the Legion, their
choice for commander this year
was good, and if given cooperation,
Oscar will no doubt made the local
post outstanding in the district.
(The above article was furnished
the Herald for publication by the
Post Adjutant. The Stearns Coun-
ty Fair officers announced in the
Herald of Aug. 10 projects in direct
conflict with the Legion program.
They have set tentative date for
the Athletic show and plan a home
talent minstrel show very soon af-
ter Easter in 1894. There should
not be any conflict between these
two organizations. The Herald ed

Improved Gridders
Beat Parkers Prairie
Minette, Brown, Arvig, Lug Pigskin
Across Zero Line for Counters
Foley Here Friday

A much improved Sank Centre
High School eleven took the field
against Parkers Prairie Friday in
that village and emerged victors in
a brilliant game ending 10 to O.
Harvey's men romped all over the
Prairie aggregation, hammering at
their line increasingly. They were
clicking in every department of the
game, taking advantage of every
break and displaying sound de-
Tense.
New stars were brought to the
front. Art Minette the speedy lit
tie halfback scored the first touch
down by a pass from AL Brown on
about the II yard line.
AL Brown again proved his worth
as a field general, and by driving
off tackle and around end for good
gains showing over the second score
from about the eight yard line. Or
vile Carpenter the power house.
from Main Street drove over for the
extra point.
Early in the last quarter BUD
Carpenter came through by inter
cepting pass and putting the ball
in position to score. It was at this
time that the boys displayed their
stuff with a fake which pulled all
the defense UP and ended with a
pass to Carol Arvig who scored the
final goal from the fifteen yard
line with not a man as much as
touching him.. The Little Giant
Tony Delong that was always in the
midst of things, the Prairie boys
were unable to stop him from con
tinually breaking through and
clogging up the works.
Much credit must be given to
Sykes, McCracken, White, Sand and
Graham for their great defense and
offensive work. There is also a
young freshman boy by the name
of Egan that you are going to hea;
more from in the future.
All these boys were in the thick
of the battle but it is hard to say
that they were outstanding stars as
every boy out there was doing his
very best. Twenty-Five men made
the trip and practically two teams
were used in the game.
With a game in the bag the boys
are deserving of your support sc
we are expecting to see you next

S. c.. Faculty
Will Present
An Operetta
Written by Madelon Powers
Music Composed by Supt.
w. A. Kohl
SITUATION IS LOCAL
Senior High Furnishes Char
acters; Choruses, Dance
Numbers From Jr. High

The Sank Centre High Schools
are embarking upon a new venture.
Plans have been made to present an
operetta in the near future. The
operetta has the title of 1.-THE
Candy-Maker's Dream, and the
Sank Centre Schools will present
the initial performance. The reason
for this is the fact that 1.-THE Cam
dy-Maker's Dream" is an original
operetta, having been written and
composed by Madelon Powers and
Supt. Kohl. of our local faculty.
The theme for the story was sug-
gested and inspired by Sank Gen.
tres Candy Maker. Oscar Dows-
well. Using his candy shop as a
setting and his voice as an inspira-
ton, the following story was
evolved by Miss Powers and the
music composed by Mr.. Kohl. A
resume of the story follows:
Act I. The Candy-Maker, Peter
Lambert, has had many reverses
and the Jinx Bad Luck, seems
to meet him whichever way he
turns. He is beset by his custom
ers, landlord, and most everyone.
to clean up his dusty. dirty shop,
or go out of business Having
come to that conclusion, his plans
are very much upset when new
customer, Marian Morton, comes
to the shop. With her poppy, spon-
taneous personality, she awakens
Peter to new state of mind After
she leaves, Peter sits behind his
counter day-dreaming, and falls
asleep to dream a beautiful dream.
Act. II. His dream: The shop be-
comes glorified with new paint and
new candies. The candies dance
about in his dream and such a gor,
geous display of candies no one
has ever seen. There are the Lol-
lypops, the gum-drops, the candy
sticks, and oh, every kind that's
made! The act closes by Peter
singing, "Is It Just Dream?"
Act III. His dream comes true!
The shop is a busy place and Peter
is trying to beat his candy and
take care Of his many customers
at the same time. In fact, the de-
preston is over for Peter, and
business is humming. To make
the dream come true, Marian re-
turns to find that Peter has re-
novated his shop and is making his
business a real success. The OPP
eretta comes to its close with Pet
er and Marian singing the theme
song Dreams Can Become Real
ities", followed with the finale by
the entire cast.
The principal characters will be
chosen from the Senior High, the
choruses from the Junior High, and
the dance numbes from the grades.
The music is of a popular vein and
should be pleasing to the audience.
Mr.. Allen will accompany the pi-
anist with violin obligato.
Everyone is working hard to
make this operetta the best and
most pleasing one which the school
patrons have ever witnessed. Your
patronage will be appreciated, so
watch for the announcements in
next weeks issue of the Herald.
