S1Oif 8 Go. Do S3I8..
900 1882 Business
Year just Closed Was Very Salts
factOry-Local Farmers, Mer-
chants Beneficiaries

One of Sank Centres leading in
dustries distributed approximately
$318, 100000 in Sank Centres terri
tory during the year just closed.
This means that approximately So
10000 a week was paid out in Sank
Centre for supplies, labor and other
purchases.
The firm which transacted this
business was the produce plant of
Swift & Company. Mr.. Hectorne,
manager of the plant, is extremely
proud of this record in a year in
which business has not been of the
best.
A great many persons have bene-
flied by the fact that Swift & Com
pany operates it's Sank Centre
plant. Many of these persons are
farmers who have poultry and
eggs to sell. Others are Sank Cen
ire people who live here, pay their
taxes here, and many Of them are
employed by Swift & Company.
The fact also that the company
operates the produce plant in Sank
Centre Is distinct trade advantage
to Sank Centre merchants, mas
much as farmers with poultry and
eggs to sell bring 1t to the city and
after disposing Of it through the
produce plant spend their money
here with local merchants for var
ious necessary articles.

Scouts Broke
Bread Together
Sank Centre District Completely
Organized-Court of Honor
to Be Held Feb. IA

The most representative Scouting
gathering Sank Centre has had for
many moons broke bread together
at the Palmer House last night and
decided that there was too much
misunderstanding between the
terms Church troops and troops
sponsored by churches, and that If
there were sufficient other local
organizations who would sponsor
troops, it would be better to have
such organizations as sponsors,
than the churches. If, however,
there are not enough Civic organi-
cations for sponsors, then in that
case it was felt that the churches
should do so. There are no church
troops in Sank Centre today and
none have been contemplated, all
statements to the contrary not
withstanding, but there are two
troops registered, sponsored by
church organizations, but contain
ing boys of many denomipations A
church troop is one sponsored by
the church more as a branch of
the church activities and having as
members, boys of that church only.
There are many such troops, al
though experience has shown that
1t is hard to keep pure chureA
troop because friends of the boy
members belonging to other sects
want to join the boys they pal with;
and so most troops sponsored by
churches either start out with boys
Of several denominations, or even
tually find that such is their mem
bership.
This dinner meeting was the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Sank
Valley District and was attended
by most Of the committee chair
men and committee members. The
Sank Valley district has gotten of
with flying start and is the first
district in the Central Minnesota
area to complete organization. An.

wing changes in committee as.

Opposes Plan to Sell
County Road Outfit
County Commissioner Borgmann
Fighting Proposition to Dispose
of Highway Equipment

County Commissioner Ferdi-
nand Bergman, of this city,
returned Saturday from st.
Cloud where he had been in at
tendance at the organization
meeting of the Stearns County
Commissioners. In discussing
the meeting with the Herald
Mr.. Borgmann went on record
as emphatically opposed to the
plan of the new commissioners
to sell all of the county's road
making machinery, except the
snow plows.
The Sank Centre commission
er Is strongly of the opinion
that with the machinery out Of
the hands Of the commission
ers the county would be at the
mercy Of contractors in letting
contracts for new roads or i'm
proving old ones. He insists
that the condition would be sim
liar to the situation the Sank
Centre Water, Light and Power
Commission would find itself
in If it were to dispose Of it's
municipal lighting plant and be
at the mercy Of the Power COM
pany in making new contracts.
It appears to the Herald
. that Mr.. Borgmann is on sound
ground in his contention.

Veteran Fireman Laid al
Rest Sunday at Izv0- Thirty

the tanks was a shed standing sew
eral feet off the ground. The
brakeman was swinging his lantern
and in some manner the burner
fell out of the globe and rolled und-
er the shed. Almost Immediately
there was a seething mass Of
flames.
When the department reached the
scene of the fire Chief Fish asked
for a volunteer to get close to the
tank and shut off the oil. Mr..
Cummings promptly offered his SER
vices. A rope was placed around
his body and he was furnished a
heavy pair Of mittens.
The city officers protested against
the firemen working SO close to the
confiagration.
With sprays Of water surround
ing his body 1t was only the work
Of a moment for Mr.. Cummings
to reach the tank, shut off the
valve, and be pulled to safety by
his companions. AS short q time
as 1t was, his hands were painful
ly and severely burned.
sThis act Of heroism permitted the
department to successfully cope
with the blaze saving much prop
erty and probably loss Of life.
Walter Cummings was a genial
companion, greatly beloved by the
friends of his young manhood who
are still residents of Sank Centre.
The funeral was held from the
First Methodist church Sunday af-
ternoon at 2:30, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. J. D. Butler. 1t was
one of the most largely attended
funerals held in this church for a
long time. Burial was made in
Greenwood cemetery.
The pallbearers, all pioneer mem
bers Of the department, were:
Frank Perry, Howard McGhee,
Joseph Kusba, G. D. Marshall,
John N. McGibbon, and John
Mondloch.
Relatives from outside the city
attending the funeral were: Mr..
and Mrs. Vinette Cummings and
family, Granite Falls, Mimi; Mrs.
Archie Thompson, Donnybrook, N
%. The lady IL still visiting in
Sank Centre. She win probably re-
turn to her home about the first OF
