Public School
Has HEAVY
Registration
Students Have Started New
Years Work Under Most
Favorable Conditions
FOOTBALL HAS APPEAL
Seventy-Five Lads Striving
for Places on Senior and
Junior Teams

With the buildings and other
physical equipment in spic and
span condition the Sank Centre
Public schools opened for another
school year Monday. The only
work opening day was the regis
tration of students and a meeting
of the faculty with Supt. Kohl who
outlined the work for the coming
year.
Practically the entire teaching
force have taught one or more
years in Sank Centre. Tuesday
morning the years work began
thoroughly organized.
1t was expected with the close of
the last school year that the
Teachers Normal Training course
would be abandoned. The State de-
partment has provided funds to con-
tinue the work for another two
years at least.
Registration for the college
courses, a new department to be
offered in Sank Centre this year
will take place Thursday and
Friday, Sept. IA and Is in the room
provided in the Library basement
Mr.. Beaumont will be in charge
from 900 A. M. to 1900 A. M. and
100 to 400 p. M. All preparations
have been made so that students
will receive maximum amount of
opportunity and consideration. The
library schedule will be from 900
A. M. to 900 P. NJ. and a special
room has been provided for the
photography necessary for the
courses. Any one desiring further
information before the regular reg
istration days should consult Mr..
Beaumont in the Library basement
any day beginning Monday, Sept.
II, at the regular hours.
All those planning to attend are
urged to resister promptly on the
days specified above.
The athletic spirit of the school
has developed marvelously in the
past two years. Tuesday when Foot
ball Coach Eugene Harvey started
initial work he was greeted with 36
applicants for the High School
team. Mr.. Tom will have the Jun
iors at work within few days and
it is a certainty that more than %
lads will be fighting for places on
the Senior and Junior teams with
in a short time.
Mr.. Harvey is graduate OF the
Upper Iowa University. He super
vised football under Supt. Kohl at
Preston, MINI. Last year with a
team averaging 135 pounds in
weight he won five out of seven
games in a heavy schedule. Too
much to be expected Of Mr.. Har-
vey this year as undoubtedly his
general tactics are different from
those of Coach Olson Of last year.
The registration Monday was very
gratifying. Every department
showed an increase over year ago.
The following are the approximate
registrations to date. The number
in each grade will be increased:
Senior High School, 1877; Junior
High, 1874; Kindergarten, SO; First
grade, SO; Second grade, 80; Third
grade, 3s; Third and Fourth grades.
81; Fourth grade, 30; Fifth grade,
"a; Fifth and Sixth grades, "a;
Sixth Grade, 3S.

A. F. Strebel
Died Friday,
September |
Announcement of His Passing
Was Shock to Sank Cen
tire Community
AN HONORABLE CITIZEN
Prominent in Business Affairs
Buried in Minneapolis
Tuesday Afternoon

The citizens of the Sank Centre
community were terribly shocked
Friday morning, Sept. l, when news
of the sudden passing of Alder. F.
Strebel at Mound Sanitarium, st.
Paul, was received in the city,
Herald readers will recall that
the gentleman was sent to Spring
Valley, Mimi, by the First Bank
Stock Corporation, Minneapolis, to
become executive officer OF the
First National Bank, of that city
in February.
The Bank Holiday within few
weeks after Mr.. Strebel assumed his
new duties complicated an already
serious situation. The result was
that early in May, within a day or
two after his family had removed
from this city to Spring Valley,
"Streb" suffered a serious nervous
breakdown. He was temporarily
relieved from duty and came to this
city to play golf and fish with his
friends of many years in the hope
of regaining his health.
The officers of the FIRST Bank
Stock Corporation gave him three
months vacation on full pay and
informed him he would be given a
better position elsewhere than
Spring Valley when his health was
regained.
When he first returned to Sank
Centre Mr.. Strebel apparently was
regaining his health This was only
temporary. Early in June he en-
tered the Mound Sanitarium, St.
Paul, which successfully treats all
ments with which Mr.. Strebel was
afflicted. Mrs. Strebel accompanied
him to the Sanitarium. This was
the last time she saw him alive as
the physicians are very strict about
allowing their patients to commun-
icate directly with their families.
The funeral was held at Lake
wood Chapel, Lakewood cemetery,
Minneapolis, at 12:45 P. NJ, Tues
day. Rev. Earl Jewell, of Red
Wing, former rector of the Good
Samaritan Episcopal church of
this city, and Rev. L. E. Kempton,
present Good Samaritan rector, Of
ficiated.
The pallbearers were all old and
close Sank Centre friends: D. b.

AN EXPLANATION

Thanksgiving night OF last year
the Guy Scott home in the north
part Of the city was destroyed by
fire. In it's write-up the Herald
editor used the phrase, at was a
pretty blaze" It appears that some
have construed the phrase as i'm
plying that the fire was an artific-
ial one, and some Of Mrs. SCOTS
alleged friends have annoyed her.
When the Herald editor wrote the
story there was no thought Of i'm
planting the idea in any ones mind
that the fire might have been Of
incendiary origin.

Seek Fees Return
of Cattle Sale
Federation Officers on Trail of Man
Who Promoted Brown Swiss
"Sale"

Recovery of money paid by Min
nesota farmers to a man who has
been collecting contributions for a
Brown Swiss consignment sale Is
sought by the Farm Bureau, with
state and local Farm Bureau offic-
ials working on the case.
Several weeks ago man began
promoting a sale of Brown Swiss
cattle, which he said was to- be held
at Fairmont. The sum Of $12 was
to be charged for each animal con-
signed, with IS payable in advance
of the sale. After the sale had been
postponed several times, consignees
who had paid their initial IS fees
Investigated at Fairmont and
found that NO arrangements had
been made there for the auction.
Officers working on the case have
received promises from the pro-
motor that money taken in would
be refunded, says ]. S. Jones, sec
retary-treasurer of the Minnesota
Farm Bureau, and secretary OF the
Minnesota Livestock Breeders as
ISOLATION.
Sheriffs are working on the case
to determine whether swindle was
attempted or whether the promoter
was forced by unforeseen circum-
stances to drop his plans, explained
officers of the farm bureau protee-
tive service.
Farmers must be vigilent at all
times to guard themselves from
get-rich-quick promoters, and es-
pecially vigilent at this time of the
year against poultry thieves, who
usually start taking toll of poultry
fiocks at this season Of the year.
The buckshot treatment is most ef-
fective, although often difficult to
apply. The second best procedure
is to notify the county sheriff i'm
mediately on discovering loss, and
if the person robbed is a farm bur
eau member, to Immediately notify
the county farm bureau office.

der the auspices OF the Community
Club and Junior Chamber of
Commerce.
The latter part of last week the
finance committee, Asa M. Wallace
and Fred Walker, called on the
business men for funds to cover the
necessary expenses to stage the Fes-
tival in proper manner. To date
there have been over 80 contribu-
tors. There are about 20 more to
see. The response was liberal and
enthusiastic.
S. Schwarzbauer and his COM
mittee will interview the business
men within few days and ar
range for the displays of grains,
seeds, garden truck, baking, and
other displays to be on exhibition
